Hydrus Network #12 Anonymous Board volunteer 09/24/2025 (Wed) 18:29:57 No. 24277 [Reply]
This is a thread for releases, bug reports, and other discussion for the hydrus network software. The hydrus network client is a file-management application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large file collections. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. If they wish, users can easily share tags anonymously through a public server. Everything is free, no ads, and privacy is the first concern. If you have 10,000+ files and cannot find anything, hydrus might help! 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 powerful, complicated, and messy. 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/

>>24284 Very cool, thank you for sharing! I don't know if you're open to feedback (I know personal projects aren't often made for that), but in case you are, here are a few things I wish it did; first one is "as a regular user" and others are "because my client is huge": - I wish you talked about (and checked for, ideally) granular permissions; you use "permits everything" on the API and IMO you should always try using as little as you can - I wish I could use `system:` tags, or at least limit the number of results fetched - I wish you handled pages of pages more gracefully; at the moment the app is flattening the pages into a single line (it definitely works though) Likely a typo, but there's also an https link to localhost in your doc on the getting started page -> Accessing the Client API where ""use https" is disabled on the screenshot right above. Great docs overall, congrats!
>>24290 >I don't know if you're open to feedback Definitely. >- I wish you talked about (and checked for, ideally) granular permissions; you use "permits everything" on the API and IMO you should always try using as little as you can Good idea. I need to look into this sometime. >- I wish I could use `system:` tags, or at least limit the number of results fetched There's no good UI for it, but you can do `system:limit is 100` or `system:filetype is image/vnd.adobe.photoshop` in the meantime. >- I wish you handled pages of pages more gracefully; at the moment the app is flattening the pages into a single line (it definitely works though) I didn't realize this was a feature of hydrus network until recently. Supporting this should be easy, but I definitely need to clean up some ugly hacks first. >Likely a typo, but there's also an https link to localhost in your doc on the getting started page -> Accessing the Client API where ""use https" is disabled on the screenshot right above I want to redo all of those screenshots, both because of this issue, and also just because they kind of look like ass. Originally I was going to recommend http for simplicity, but once I deployed Hydrui to a real domain it turned out that dealing with mixed http/https content errors was actually much harder and less consistent than just adding the TLS exception for a self-signed certificate. I couldn't find a way to do the former without globally disabling useful security features in Librewolf, so I gave up on it... but I didn't fix the screenshots to reflect that.

>>24291 Thanks for the reply! Good to know about copying the `system;` stuff, I did not realize. I'd also love to see sorting options, but the interface is already very usable as-is. I wanted to reply on the TLS stuff, as I had the same issue a while ago with https://hydrus.app; same as you, I use Librewolf so no good way of disabling this verification from a real domain. I now use Tailscale's Serve, which provides a valid TLS cert; it allows me to expose Hydrus through HTTPS, but (of course) only inside my network (I use one-letter machine names for extra anonymity). I highly recommend you take a look! Doesn't fix your docs issue, but maybe it helps you.

gdk applications no longer work under firejail Anonymous 09/25/2025 (Thu) 01:16:30 No. 24281 [Reply]
gdk applications use a package called gdk-pixbuf2, which uses a Rust library, glycin, to open image files. glycin opens image files in a sandbox using bwrap. bwrap doesn't run inside firejail. So now all gdk applications fail when they try to open image files inside of firejail.
Fix for me is rolling gdk-pixbuf2 back to version 2.44.1-3. wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/gdk-pixbuf2/gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/gdk-pixbuf2/gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig sudo pacman -U gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst Also related: https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/106690681/

That's some pretty cool equipment. They could have used consumer/small business equipment if they wanted to hide something, this just looks performative. Check out this low-cost alternative though.

Advice for OpenBSD newparanoids? Anonymous 06/27/2025 (Fri) 01:58:02 No. 23463 [Reply] >>24209
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 (OP) 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).

No. I do not get distracted like that. Well, at least not to the point of having it feel like I am wasting time. Yeah, my copyright notice is ugly piece of shit. Smol video showing it off tho'. Not sure if the vid actually works on mobile. I've had issues before, this is an old old x220 laptop (yeah, librebooted) with -pix_fmt yuv420p flag when recording with ffmpeg. I'm not very knowledgeable about codecs and stuff.
