Advice for OpenBSD newparanoids? Anonymous 06/27/2025 (Fri) 01:58:02 No. 23463 [Reply]
Hello guys. I (and a couple of friends) recently switched from Linux to OpenBSD because we found it quite interesting. I'm a Lenovo Thinkpad user who used to Alpine Linux. I still loving this distro, but I wanted to give OpenBSD a try. So what would you /t/ nerds recommend to a OpenBSD newfag? I never used it (in a serious way) before. I saw OpenBSD have actually a Tor Browser port. I wonder which other Web Browser can I use here.

>>23463 I love OpenBSD. It's my daily driver, server, and router. My router is a corebooted thing, the APU4 (not produced anymore). My daily driver is an x220, librebooted. Sadly OpenBSD doesn't have librewolf. It has ungoogled-chromium and badwolf, firefox, tor-browser, and some more. Otherwise it's hard to recommend anything if you don't give us a usecase
>>24209 Not OP, but I've been wanting to switc over to one of the BSD's from gentoo/void/arch. I did try freebsd and openbsd. Most of the things were satisfactory, but the major issue was my laptop getting extremely hot as soon as being booted. I did raise bug, people trie tk help, but it led no where and I had to give up. I still do check if there has been any development on that issue. I hope one day this gets better. This is the forum post (which has the link to the bug too). https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/excessive-heat-on-lenovo-thinkpad-e450-even-with-cpu-100-idle.89358/ I faced the same with all BSD's including open BSD. I also faced it on libre Linux kernel, so I thought I have no choice but to use proprietary drivers. Anyway, just trying my luck here.
>>24213 You had wired network connected when installing OpenBSD so it could run fw_update post install? If yes, then too bad. I can't help you with that. :( Although FreeBSD did start to invest a lot more for laptop improvements. Perhaps this is a thing they improved or fixed? Btw, I also come from void linux. I still have void on my steam Deck when I feel like gaming. But, I use ZFS, which they will break in the new kernel that comes in December. I might do a deck giveaway some day. These news infuriated me to leave linux entirely

8chan on Dillo Browser Anonymous 09/16/2025 (Tue) 17:16:12 No. 24211 [Reply]
Anyone been able to brows 8chan on dillo browser? Maybe dillo-plus? I been trying to get them to work by enabling cookies but it doesn't work. I get stuck on pic related. I try to go back and it goes back to the confirm page but also when I get to pic related I tried to input 8chan domain to hopefully get to the page but alas, once again I am asked to confirm I am over 18.
I can post from badwolf. No cookies or JavaScript. Hmm...
Dillo does cache redirects; so when the first 8chan page you visit redirects to the cookie page, this page will continue to redirect to the cookie page. I haven't looked at how confirmed.html works, but there could be a similar issue.
>>24216 Oh, thanks. I'll look into it.

/p2p/ General Anonymous 05/06/2020 (Wed) 02:13:46 No. 23 [Reply] [Last]
Welcome to /p2p/, the dedicated peer-to-peer thread for /tech/ and the bunker for /t/orrentfags. What is P2P? Peer-to-Peer technologies allow decentralized networks to share data. They can be used to bypass oppressive government regulations on speech or to download the latest seasonal anime. What are my options? First and foremost is BitTorrent, a common protocol where files are split into chunks which are then shared via swarm, which works to get everyone a copy. There are many BitTorrent clients out there, and everyone has a personal preference. Some are owned my corporations and full of spyware. It's recommended you use something open source, like Deluge or qBitTorrent. Won't my internet get shut down? If your ISP is cucked then they might, but thankfully there is a solution. Use a VPN! Don't trust any VPNs that advertise all over the place. What is IPFS?

Gnome/GTK developers are up there with the most cucked developers in the Linux. One can only imagine the workforce spread thin by Red Hat internal and higher up IBM management decisions, or external investor evaluations. Would unironically be better off if they created a more WM-like interface for both efficiency and consistency, because GNU/Linux will NEVER EVER be Windows or even Mac and React.

When you guys are programming, do you ever get to a point where you're always just sort of playing around with your program, entering different values and watching it work and stuff? Especially if I'm doing something with a GUI, I get so distracted just clicking buttons over and over, resizing things, hovering over things, just like... mindlessly fiddling around and making sure it's all working. I'm sure some of that is good, I mean you need to thoroughly test shit, but it's to the point where I get distracted and take way too long to finish anything (if ever).

Monero As the Internet's Currency Anonymous 04/18/2021 (Sun) 01:27:33 No. 3581 [Reply] [Last]
There's many cryptocurrencies out there. But out of the many cryptocoins out there only one stands out, Monero. It's safe, secure, private, and anonymous and there has yet to be a government agency that can crack its code. It's also not handled by banks, payment processors, and credit card companies that may blacklist you for bullshit reasons. The promising technology of atomic swapping will also render crypto exchanges to be not needed as this will counter government regulations of asset exchanges. Also this cryptocurrency is the easier to mine compared to Bitcoin. So do you think Monero will see more widespread use in the future? Give your thoughts.

Hydrus Network General #11 Anonymous Board volunteer 02/05/2025 (Wed) 22:34:45 No. 17183 [Reply] [Last]
This is a thread for releases, bug reports, and other discussion for the hydrus network software. The hydrus network client is an application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf/webm collections. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. Users can choose to download and share tags through a Public Tag Repository that now has more than 2 billion tag mappings, and advanced users may set up their own repositories just for themselves and friends. Everything is free and privacy is the first concern. Releases are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and it is now easy to run the program straight from source. I am the hydrus developer. I am continually working on the software and try to put out a new release every Wednesday by 8pm EST. Past hydrus imageboard discussion, and these generals as they hit the post limit, are being archived at >>>/hydrus/ . Hydrus is a powerful and complicated program, and it is not for everyone. If you would like to learn more, please check out the extensive help and getting started guide here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/ Previous thread >>>/hydrus/22247

>>24192 Thanks. Sorry for the trouble. Yeah, that 3600 jobs looks like it is part of the problem here. it is probably adding a bunch of UI lag. Unfortunately, my downloader engine has some limitations and pain points from the original implementation, and it simply doesn't do parallelisation well yet. I have plans for this, but it'll be a vast overhaul and not something I can slip into normal weekly work. If you can, please try and clear out DEAD/finished watchers and queries. That said, even if there are thousands of things going on every thirty seconds, it shouldn't lock up the parents and siblings fetch. Either the whole client locks up completely, or maybe everything runs a little sluggish, but you don't usually see one thing not coming back. Forgive me if this sounds stupid, but I did rewrite the parents/siblings dialogs a few months ago, I think it was, and they no longer fetch everything when you boot them. Those dialogs now load related pairs once you enter some. So, if you enter 'blue eyes' in the left or right boxes, the dialog should quickly (or, indeed, sluggishly), fetch all the siblings/parents that use 'blue eyes' so you can see what you are editing. This makes the dialogs a lot faster to boot and more focused to work with than the old system that loaded all pairs every time you booted them. Any chance you are just unfamiliar with the new dialog workflow? What happens if you hit the newer 'show all pairs' checkbox--does it lag out for a few seconds and then show like 70,000 pairs? I just overhauled 'profile mode' in the last release, also, so you might like to run through help->debug->profiling and maybe send me a couple profiles. 'db' is probably the one you want, but if you hit 'threads' mode you'll probably get a bunch of spam related to those 3600 jobs. >>24196 I don't think so, not yet. I've been planning, on and off, some 'storage-level' tag filters, a la the view filters you see in tags->manage tag display and search, but I'm not there yet. Since your specific problem is keyboard event related, can you try flipping the 'by default, select the first tag result with actual count in write-autocomplete' under options->tag editing? I added that for a guy who went bananas over how tag results are presented. It'll probably feel jarring to you, but maybe you'll love it. >>24206 I can't promise anything, but check your 'install_dir/db/mpv.conf' file, if v510 has one. There might be some audio normalisation stuff in there. Take it out, restart the client, you might be good.
>>24219 I recommend you only check this for sites like pixiv, where a 'Post URL' really can produce multiple URLs. If hydrus knows that a Post URL can only produce one file, like for most boorus, it can perform efficient 'already in db'/'previously deleted' file import results, without having to hit the URL, when it has seen that URL before. If you set this checkmark too liberally, hydrus will perform less efficiently when it visits sites more than once, and for no benefit since the URL does not produce multiple files. >>24220 >>24223 Sorry for the shitty UI around here. Some of the string processing is half multi-line capable but half still on 'one string at a time', so a few panels around here are bad about providing 'example strings' and such to test dialogs. I do intend to improve this. If you >>24220 are talking about the normal 'test parse' button of a content parser though, yeah it should deliver everything the formula grabs. If the formula is set to grab the 1st item, that's what it will see, but if you have something like (JSON): - get the "posts" item - get the "urls" item - then get all the items It should get everything it sees. However, if Ebay is complicated, with dynamically named fields that you have to look up with a more specific 'type' fetch, then I'm sorry but it might be too complicated for hydrus. I have some support for this sort of thing, but nothing nice like a 'temporary variable' system yet, not really. You can sometimes scrape by by saying 'get the nth item' or getting all items and then using a string processing to filter the outputs to just stuff that fits a regex for 'https...' etc... If you like, post an example of the JSON and we can look at it. >>24224 Thanks. Yeah, I generally agree. It would be lovely to have the client more duplicate-aware in general at the UI level. One really big overhaul that is still missing here, that I keep meaning to do, is to get thumbnails (i.e. their UI-level media objects) aware of duplicate relationships, which is both a storage fetch problem (I need to load all that shit and store it in a nicer manager for each file on search load), and a content update pipeline problem (every time I make a db level update to a duplicate relationship, which can get a little complicated sometimes, I need to update that UI-level manager pretty promptly.
