>>14496 They block all VPNs. Some providers spin up new IPs so quickly that they don't make blocklists for a few days, but since Mullvad is privacy focused they don't bother.

>>14496 Remember that 4chins is administered by people who don't hide their hatred of the userbase. It is true that allowing posts from TOR would instantly result in the whole site getting buried in CP forever, but a VPN is not TOR. 4chan also has backend scripts running that scan for a secret list of naughty words and hand out "banned text" autobans. I've got a three day ban right now for trying to post a pastebin that had additional terms for a wordfilter for 4chanX to deal with a persistent individual who uses bots to flood discussions he doesn't like with his schizo copypasta. People flood with copypasta, guro, lolis, that's all A-OK with the mods, or at least half the time it takes ten or twelve hours for a mod to put down the bong and do a bit of cleanup, if anyone ever does anything at all. You really shouldn't be surprised that trying to use a VPN gets a response like they caught you pissing in their oatmeal. They hate you. They really, really hate you.

>>14496 Allegedly they do it to protect from bad actors using them to flood. We know that's bullshit as >>14500 pointed out their site is flooded 24/7, blocking vpns clearly doesn't work. >>14500 That reminds me I was shitting on a welknown spammer's thread and the mods decided to ban me and not the idiot who has been spending 5 years flooding. I cut ties with 4shit after that. That also reminds me they ban half of south america's ips because of just one pedofag. They are so imcompetent that they think nuking a whole continent is better than dealing with one guy.

Someone recommend me a good resin printer

>>14552 Elegoo saturn 3 ultra with the acf film, just dont treat it as a fast printer if you want quality, and that applies to resin too.

>>13408 The some ecobee models like you posted can be put into a zigbee or z-wave mode for home assistant I think, otherwise honeywell makes dumb thermostats.

Apple macOS scans storage drives for CSAM / CP It scans your drives even if you don't have an Apple ID, disabled iCloud and don't use the macOS Photos app. https://sneak.berlin/20230115/macos-scans-your-local-files-now/ https://github.com/AsuharietYgvar/AppleNeuralHash2ONNX It's not clear whether it's just real life CP hashes they match for on their databases, if they include underage characters from hentai / cartoon pornography, if they comply with various national or state laws like Australia's ambiguous small breasts ban, or if they do more than simply comparing hashes, such as image recognition and send back tiny thumbnails flagged for further law enforcement investigation.

>>15018 That's crazy, even the MEGA cloud storage has an issue with that.

what can i buy for 6 dollars im konly going to be on here for like 5 more mins

What are some good linux lappies that can be had for under $500?

>>15319 maybe a refurbished framework 13

>>15319 ThinkPad T440 or T440p

My Toshiba X300 has too many reallocated bad sectors for comfort. Any recommendations for hard drive replacements? The drive's capacity is 3.6tb. The other two are an 18tb Seagate Exos, that's good right now, and a 4tb Micron SSD on an PCI NVME with 100% health.

>>9044 Who would blast a perfectly good dive watch with cum like that?

Do any of you know any screenshot software for linux that lets you compose a picture from multiple screenshots? In other words, one that lets you take a screenshot, put it on some blank canvas, take more screenshots, and add them to the same canvas to arrange them via drag and drop, without external editor.

>>15999 Is there a windows equivalent? It's usually easier to find alternative software if you have something you can directly compare it with.

>>16003 Greenshot on windows kind of had an editor similar to ms paint

>>16106 Could probably just run that under wine

Just in case, does anyone know of someone online who repairs VCRs and VHS tapes?

>>16387 Here: Milwaukee PC - South 27th St 5264 S 27th St, Milwaukee, WI 53221

Security tip to all Windows users with software crypto wallets and pirated software: You MUST block Windows PowerShell from making outbound connections with your Firewall as it is a massive security hole that Microsoft has stupidly left open by default. "Cryptostealing" malware has become increasingly common in the past few years trojaned via pirated software (e.g. games, Photoshop) even by so-called "trusted" uploaders, and their primary method of sending this data back to their servers is via PowerShell scripts. More and more users are finding their crypto wallets being emptied and later having discovered random PowerShell scripts running in task manager that turned out to be cryptostealing malware scripts. To block outbound connections for PowerShell with Windows Defender Firewall, open the start menu and type in "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security" and select that app. Select the Outbound Rules category on the left, then add two new rules to block the following programs: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Name them PowerShell 32-bit and PowerShell 64-bit respectively. You may optionally add the description "Block outbound traffic due to cryptostealing risk" to remind you later why you blocked it. When you do ever need to use PowerShell for outbound connections you can temporarily disable these rules when you need to.

>>16501 Or just don't use windows for the next time shit like this happens.

>>16501 >>16507 Even more importantly, do NOT run mission critical things like your crypto finances on the same device you run sketchy software on. Ideally don't even use the same subnet.

I wish to sideload the Firefox Mobile version of the Firefox Browser (note: the one for phones, not the one for smart tvs) on an Android TV. Will it work with the classic sideloading methods or are there restrictions in place?

>>16586 Actually let me rephrase that: >>103253717 I want to buy a TV, but sadly all the models available are """smart""" tvs with their own crappy OS. I wish to know: 1) Which OS (Android TV, Fire TV, Vidaa...) lets me sideload the most Android based applications; 2) Which OS allows me to sideload the Mobile version of Firefox (not the gutted Smart TV one, I'm talking of the vanilla Mobile Firefox browser that lets me install extensions and whatnot); 3) If adding a smart box like those Chinese sticks with Android TV/Chromecast on them is a more viable strategy; 4) If QLED/OLED is better than UHD, or if there's other sorts of emerging tech that offers better quality or lower prices.

>>16587 Buy used there are plenty of dumb tvs, or buy a "display" and get a sound system for it. Dumb tvs are called displays now but they don't have speakers built in.

>>16587 Mini LED or some such splits the backlighting up into small sections for better HDR. If you just want a screen then contrast ratio is probably all you need to really look at since you can manually make colors look good enough. Watch some reviews on youtube maybe. Can't help you much on android tv, I got a chromecast tv dongle that they're discontinuing now, it did let me put smarttube for no jewtube ads and the ability to cast to it. The cheaper ones only did 1080p if you do manage to nab one for $20.

A few stupid questions of mine that I am unsure where to ask: I have a SCSI keyboard on a small desk, there are two pcs on this desk, a Commodore 128 and a more modern workstation, is there some kind of converter/switcher I can get to use this keyboard between both pc's somehow, as it would save space and be a lot more practical I'm currently looking at acquiring a setup for local AI, the pc I am looking at purchasing comes with a xeon chip, I will be running either CentOS or fedora, it's been a long long time since I've meddled with pc hardware; should I just get dual 4090s as I've been recommended or is there a cheaper option available to me due to the commercial chip, alternatively would it be cheaper/better/easier to build some kind of gpu array to interface with the pc for AI purposes? Do local models exist for generating functional code or do I have to wait for hackerman to bless us all with its presence on torrent sites?

>>16691 A kvm switch can toggle between them if you find some way to get it to usb. Can't help with ai.

>>16696 I know I can adapt scsi to usb, but the cord to do so is 180 minimum and I am not sure if it works the other way around because scsi is a little funny, do you know if there's a scsi kvm switch or if it is just something that exists for modern usb devices

>>16720 Honestly I don't know, maybe you can search and see if theres a diy arduino or breadboard project for it to usb.

>>16723 I've been looking for a while and I found this https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-101354-DB25-ABCD-Switch/dp/B001W0FI18 I'm not 100% sure I can use this to switch a keyboard between two computers, as opposed to two peripherals between one computer, but I'll give it a shot once my budget isn't rock bottom, I just can't believe no one has made a SCSI to USB since 20 years ago

>>16728 What about "db25 to usb"?

>>16730 that makes it much more feasible thank you anon

>>11850 >the official stated limits are usually false, for example I had a 128GB MicroSD in a phone with a supposed limit of 32GB. The manufacturer just didnt feel like validating and guaranteeing anything larger. True for smartphones and many other devices. NOT true for many security/dash cameras, too large of a card will actually result in corrupt/lost video.
