>>380 here's how I look for information on the interwebz: searxng, ddg, wiby.me searches->curated link sources->Online communities->Organic word of mouth

>>381 By organic word of mouth I mean the internet 1.0 way, ie. webrings and pastes like https://rentry.org/good-sites

>>381 https://search.marginalia.nu/ another search engine with an independent crawler

>>380 Kagi.com The best alternative to the main search engines, but it's paid and the beta is over

>>380 Good thread anon. I want to post a little experience of mine to explain the consequences of bad opsec. Many anons know that I am an oldfag, I had many internet friends, some whom I came to know IRL. Some of these anons were excellent OSINT analysts, they got wars and millitary ops right before everyone else and made a huge difference, then ceepee would be found on their server, their emails (self hosted) would be blocked, their certificates killed etc. This happened enough times that it sent a message to all others to either shut the fuck up or post anything important only under a pseudonym with all the precautions and more. Internet is not the free place it used to be. It is a feudal land now, with governments and corporations setting the rules.

Making your own website is a bad idea nowadays and self hosting it is even worst, if you have any dangerous ideas at all or are even slightly deviant from the main stream.

>>394 I agree, it's a corporate mess but gems still exist, and they're exceptionally hard to find, especially with the search engines we have. That's the reason I'm posting alternative sources of gathering information, but it's really hard without the resources that big companies have. Most of the useful web is not even indexed by SEs, since it's hidden behind logins and hostile robot.txts That's why webrings and independent aggregators are so important

>>380 >>380 Good thread OP, a particular gem I found while reading the articles Uzair Gadit, a Pakistani, is a co-founder and current CEO of PureVPN, a "no logs" VPN owned by GZ Systems Ltd.. In 2017 PureVPN turned over data to the FBI in regard to a cyber-stalking case. The article FBI uses PureVPN's 'non-existent' logs to track down internet stalker offered the following warning: [...] a recent case shows that the FBI used the logs of PureVPN to track down a user believed to be an internet stalker. This may make PureVPN users think twice about just how anonymous they really are, particularly when the company claims: "We do NOT keep any logs that can identify or help in monitoring a user's activity." The current Wikipedia page for PureVPN contains the following: PureVPN stores logs containing information about what Internet service provider a customer used to access it service and which day the service was used. PureVPN does not store the exact time a customer accessed VPN. To prevent misuse and monitor quality, it records how much bandwidth customers are using. PureVPN also stores HTTP cookies for online advertising purposes as well as user account information like email address and credit card data.[4] It does not store what websites a customer is accessing.[15] Brian Nadel of Tom's Guide criticized PureVPN for requiring real names for user signups, even when users employ Bitcoin or gift cards for payment.[7] VPNs largely do not require real names.[7] In 2017, PureVPN provided information to Federal Bureau of Investigation agents that helped result in the arrest of a Massachusetts man for cyberstalking.[15] The company concluded that the man had accessed PureVPN through two IP addresses: one from home and one from work.[15] Max Eddy of PC Magazine noted that the company's privacy policy says it will cooperate with investigators who give them a proper warrant and concluded, "In the case of PureVPN, it doesn't appear that the company breached the trust of its users".[15] TechRadar's Mike Williams disagreed, writing that PureVPN "made a big deal of its 'zero log' policy" on its website but did keep logs that enabled investigators to link the man to what he did on the service.[5] >>398 While I fully agree, 8chan.moe is indexed by google as well as far as I know. So great guide for normies here. But is there a onion/I2P version of something like InCh ?

>>410 >purevpn never trust vpns mitr, it's very dangerous. only self hosted vpns should be trusted, if you want to do shady stuff. mullvad is the best choice if you can't self host, but don't use it for anything more than piracy and opinions. self hosting tutorials can be found on the r/selfhosted wiki, landchad.net and numerous other websites. I'll post some if anyone is interested >8chan.moe is indexed by google it's censored on google, type 8chan and all you'll get is articles calling it a far right terrorist forum. You should use searxng instead, it fetches results from different search engines and respects your privacy. >InCh I don't care about it, it's a glowhole filled with underage teenagers and the admins are instagrammers who love censorship.

Tried KDE neon finally , it is really good. Multi monitor support works great, takes time to set it up for keyboard use and tiling but it works well when done. I might finally make the switch.

>>380 How To Get Endless Free Vulns From Shodan.io (USE A VPN) 0) Disable IPv6 in your device. If you use Linux, open a terminal and do the process listed in the following links: https://itsfoss.com/disable-ipv6-ubuntu-linux/ https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-disable-ipv6-on-linux/ https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/disable-ipv6-on-ubuntu 1) Have a VPN on. I recommend NordVPN. Be connected to it. MAKE SURE YOUR IPv6 is disabled. You can get free cracked NordVPN by looking up "NordVPN cracked accounts telegram" Alternatively, you can go to crackingtutor1al.blogspot.com 2) Enable the Firewall, the Killswitch, etc. 3) Make a Yandex.com account. Select "I don't have a mobile phone number" Be sure to remember your security question answer. 3A) You can also use temp-mail.com 4) Make a Shodan.io account. You will get a free API and at least 20 searches a day. Search for shit like this: authentication disabled pipeline oil water pump pipe vnc municipal power level temperature Alternatively, you can use the search queries herein. You can search any country, OS, port that you want to search. DO NOT CLICK THE IPs, DON'T TRY TO FUCK WITH ANYTHING. ACCESSING THE VNC SERVER WILL GET YOU FUCKED UP, UNLESS YOU ARE SMART. Print the page you're on, Save to PDFs. This way, you get the vulns without being hit up because you have to pay to export the data. Do you honestly want to pay 299 dollars to make a fucking list in your account? Stay on the page and you can just print to PDF, keeping the IP, server info. This is good for VNC servers with authentication disabled. 5) Once you hit the daily API limit, log out of Shodan.io, switch VPN servers to a new VPN server. 6) Delete your Yandex account. Go to this link and begin the process: https://yandex.com/support/passport/delete.html or alternatively, go straight to this: https://passport.yandex.com/profile/delete?mode=delete&origin=passport_profile 7) Enter your security answer and the captcha.

[Expand Post]

8) Delete your account. 9) Repeat Steps 3 - 9 as many times as you want. Notes: - I don't think Shodan bans or IP blocks but don't try to find out. Switch servers. - Shodan and Yandex do not limit the amount of accounts you can create. - You could theoretically do it all day from the same server. - When you adjust the search filter on Shodan, it counts as a new search so that will shorten your daily alloted searches each time you change the filter. - Do not start fucking with their shit. - MAKE SURE YOUR IPV6 IS NOT LEAKING - You can even delete your Yandex account immediately after getting your Shodan activation email and clicking the link.

>>1006 >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 >Hello Everyone. >This will be my final update on Breached, as I've decided to shut it down. I'm aware this news will not please anyone, but it's the only safe decision now that I've confirmed that the glowies likely have access to Poms machine. >As I said early on in all of this, anything related to production Breached infrastructure was locked down immediately - however I was kind enough to leave a few old, non-essential servers completely unchanged. One of those servers I left unchanged is an old CDN from months ago that no longer hosts any CDN files or configs but rather was used to just download large files from time to time. >Throughout the migration I checked to see if anything was going on that would cause concern during the migration. One of the servers checked, was the old CDN server described above. It seems someone logged in on Mar 19, 1:34 EST prior to me logging into the server. Unfortunately this likely leads to the conclusion that someone has access to Poms machine. Any servers we use are never shared with anyone else, so someone would have to know the credentials to that server to be able to login. I now feel like I'm put into a position where nothing can be assumed safe, whether its our configs, source code, or information about our users - the list is endless. This means that I can't confirm the forum is safe, which has been a major goal from the start of this shitshow. >As for what this means now, It's complicated. Unlike when other communities go down and everyone scatters, stupidly I will still be around. I will redirect all the Breached domains to my baph.is domain. The Telegram group and channel will remain up for now, but I will make a new Telegram group for those interested in seeing what I have planned next. I will always be willing to sign a message to prove my identity to the community. >While the community of Breached will die, I'm going to continue conversations with some of the competitor forum admins and various service operators who reached out to me over the past few days. I'm hoping to work with some of those people to build a new community, that will have the best features of Breached, while reducing the attack surfaces we never properly addressed.

I know most people find snap a terrible package manager. But not being able to trigger apps via flatpacks was starting to get to me. I know I can change the app alias, but that is just extra steps I don't need. I started using snap, out of the box, app install times are insane. But after that, the terminal implementation is excellent ! Updates don't clutter my screen and progress is displayed nicely, collection of software is excellent too and most importantly, I can launch software from the terminal using the same names that I am used to. No extra step of changing names, locations etc.

I myself have a terminal PC. But you can just firewall all unwanted connections and connect only when needing to use the internet. As to Win vs Linux, Linux esp when used with Terminal actually forces you to learn to use a computer. Windows users , most of them are just consumers. Windows does not allow the kind of automation that Linux does. This is why almost all server work, scientific computing etc is done on Linux and not on Windows. Windows does have stability and is normie friendly. But that's that. >>1679 KEK. This brings back memories. Does anyone actually buy stuff from apple store ?

>>1701 so you spend your time fixing and wasting your time on bullshit like this instead of getting work done

>>1695 >Windows users , most of them are just consumers. Windows does not allow the kind of automation that Linux does. the same GNU utils and CLI tools you use on linux are usually available on Windows too I literally have made custom powershell and .bat scripts for various nifty tasks on windows >This is why almost all server work, scientific computing etc is done on Linux and not on Windows. LMAO no server work is done on linux because NTFS, ReFS and Microsoft's software stack is retarded for server use, it literally started as a desktop OS, then again it's like comparing apples to oranges, saying a lamborghini is better than a russian tank because it can go faster, ww're still discussing DESKTOP/HOME linux usage right ? Scientific Computing uses it because alot of supercomputers are custom-made afaik and you start running into weird issues like IO/memory allocations or CPU scheduling, linux's open-source nature thus gurantess that you can adapt the OS anyway you like and your programs will still run

>>1703 Powershell is still a joke with very low level of automation. It is still vetter than using dos though. Still. Windows is too bloated now. Sure you can use ltsc or win 8 etc. I just find it easier to use linux than to find more esoteric ways to use MS

I mean just look at how the pentagon "defended" Indian democracy in the midst of there being a narrative war, its like they want to clarify that they indeed are in bed with the Sangh to counter China since no other party can face Modi on the national stage.

It was only a few administrations ago the US was sanctioning India for nuclear weapons, and they keep funding Pakistan now. Even Trumps policy was pretty underwhelming.

>>2623 I used the MK240 for like, 3 years straight from 2018-2021, it was a decent KB >swappable switches dunno if anyone outside of the mech keyboard community has the autismo to offer hot swappable keys in a keyboard. General rule of thumb is to go for the office KB/M, every single "Gaming" peripheral I owned broke down in, like 8-12 months

torrent-based browsers your browser downloads the .html file of a website from a magnet link, even if the main server goes down your site is preserved if it was popular you serve websites via basically a torrent with a main.html and other html files and resources in it (pics, gifs, videos etc) you take some lightweight browser like KMeleon or something Webkit-based, and whenever an user clicks on a magnet link or a .torrent file some CLI tool (or the browser itself) queries that torrent in the background and sees if there is a main.html file in the downloaded torrent's root hiearchy, if it finds it then that main.html is displayed in the browser (like how most programming languages have a main function that gets executed at the start), if not then the browser assumes it was just a regular torrent file download (videogames/movies etc) and treats it like a download It motivates websites to be bloatless as people won't store websites that are bloated It motivates users to archive stuff so shit won't randomly get taken down/lost

>>2634 and it can be acheived on existing infrastructure with minimal changes hell it could just be some firefox extension that runs a small rtorrent or other CLI torrent client in the background and downloads and opens main.html in the browser if it finds it

>>2634 People want maximum brain dead applications. Tech savy users are far and few these days. I just had a BD student, studying cyber security, who couldn't activate his account by entering a code into a browser window.

>>2645 I want to make this as a hobby, nohing serious also just hit me, I wouldn't even need a browser, Java/JavaFX already has a embedded webkit-based webview I can just open main.html in it

>>3420 Takes too long to connect now

>>3423 yep :^)

Phone is broken as fuck. Have this old Xperia , loaded Iode OS on it. It is small, fits in my pocket. Battery still lasts long time. Headphone jack. The camera is not great, but for good lighting it works well. I miss good tech like this so much. Tech actually made for humans. Have to buy a new phone soon, don't really want to waste my money on anything in the market.

I tried Zero, it is still incomplete. Any clearnet client for Linux worth recommending ?

unironically why do people use this. i get it it is chromium based so not very different from chrome which is what most people preferred before windows 10. and in a pinch i don't mind using it on work computer of library computers. but i've seen people use this as the default browser on their own computers and laptops.

>>3482 Easier on the battery. Actually not bad once you get used to it. I have a surface pro and I can draw on webpages.

>>3484 >>3482 The pdf annotation was pretty good. Apart from that, absolute shit browser. On top, MS added shit ton of bloat on top.

>>3484 You are the only Indian I know who has a surface. Else, everyone buys gaming laptops to browse facebook and reddit.

>>3492 Can't recommend one. Mine is a surface pro 4 and the battery lasts like 2 hours max. The screen also starts flickering when it gets warn and that happens really quick. I didn't even buy it my uncle got it from some office sale in the UK and gave it to me.

>>3492 >Else, everyone buys gaming laptops to browse facebook and reddit. kek this i don't know why people buy such expensive laptops. everyone in college bought a gaming laptop in the 1L range and used it to make Powerpoint presentations. >You are the only Indian I know who has a surface I only saw a Surface in the flesh when my father was in the hospital for Covid and the guy beside him had one. i don't know what it does or why one buys it.

just ordered this for my father https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g32-11733.php i'm always out of touch with the mobile market. stock android is my number one priority when buying a phone - all the times that i have strayed from this path i have regretted. so my general formula is to buy a good Motorola phone in the ~10k range because no bloat, no nonsense phones that tend to work well. but i have seen a lot of companies offer stock android these days, xiaomi redmi etc. so sometimes i wonder if i should change this approach. Also can someone recommend a good way to read reviews for a phone? one that does not involve the youtube soyface thumbnail. i can not take these videos seriously.

>>3494 I agree. I got a 7 myself. Love the weight, love the stylus, hated windows so removed it and battery life improved. I got it mainly for weight and drivers, but trust Microsoft was a mistake. >>3495 People usually buy a surface , who need a thin and light. It comes with a good digitizer, so for art, annotating documents etc it is really good. That said, the price in India is too high. Better thin and light laptops out there. > everyone in college bought a gaming laptop in the 1L range and used it to make Powerpoint presentations most people don't need a computer. A phone, pen and paper will be fine. The most intense computation they do is excel and playing games. Even IT fags. We are using technology all wrong. >>3496 GSM arena is a good resource for me. Tech youtube is insufferable I agree. I have reached a point where I cannot trust google or apple to not brick my phone after 3-4 years. Dumbphone plus portable laptop/tablet or degoogled android phone.

>>3524 >most people don't need a computer. A phone, pen and paper will be fine no i think a computer is a very good thing to have. i simply think of the mobile phone as a consumerist device, built for nothing but capturing your attention, making you scroll endlessly and milk you for every drop you are worth. it is too small and restricted to do anything productive on. on the other hand the computer has the potential to be as productive as you want it to be. there are genuine use cases for example if you are working on a big project, or obscure software. those small delays in finding a computer in college, booting it up, synchronizing it etc, they take like 15 minutes. but they disrupt the workflow so much it costs you the entire day. you don't even notice when the sun sets and you remain the only person in the labs (it really feels uncanny in educational buildings after dark when no one is there). This is about engineering people. the rest like computers to keep accounts, fill up forms, government work, entertainment etc. It's a good idea to have a computer at home, but it doesn't need to be top of the line if they don't plan on playing games or running simulations on it.

>>3524 >GSM arena is a good resource for me it's just the specifications, it's useful for this but not much else. >Tech youtube is insufferable I agree. and they don't even tend to review "budget" phones (for me a 10k phone is still pretty premium). >I have reached a point where I cannot trust google or apple to not brick my phone after 3-4 years I don't really believe they will brick a phone directly like that. they just make things heavy/artificially inflate requirements of simple things until your phone is unusable. the moto e13 has android go. because it is supposed to be too slow for real android. this has 4 gb ram and 64 gb storage, octa core cpu, same as my phone, but newer. I don't believe this shit for a second, and if it is true that full android is too slow to run on this, they should get better programmers. I used to run GTA IV on my old shitty PC with 2 GB RAM and these people are telling me android needs more than 2 times that to run? topkek that, or they fuck up the radio and you really can't use it. my 3 year old phone suddenly had its handset speaker volume go down a lot with no explanation. my fingers hurt after each call because i have to press it to my ear so hard.

>>3528 Objectively this is correct. A computer has good input devices, so it is useful. A phone on the other hand is just a consumer device. You cannot type a lot on it properly, its screen is too small to get real work done. The only useful input is voice or camera. But do most people need more ? Most people don't do spreadsheets or presentations that cannot be done on an A4 sheet and pencil. Fully agree about old PC's being useful. On avg, I use every laptop atleast upto 5 years. >>3529 > it's just the specifications, it's useful for this but not much else. The reviews are consistent and good. > and they don't even tend to review "budget" phones (for me a 10k phone is still pretty premium). Are there any good Indian tech youtubers or Indian tech reviewers who are good ? I see drivers in India with expensive phones and actual royalty with 3-5 year old devices.

>>3529 As an example, google made lot of phones slow with their updates. Android 12 and 13 are famous for this, but even play store updates affect lot of otherwise good to use devices. My phone has more ram than the laptop I am typing this on, yet its slow and heats up for basic browsing. All so google can steal my data and make my device useless which I paid for. all I want is to own the tech that I bought. Buying a new degoogled device soon.

>>3552 >Most people don't do spreadsheets or presentations that cannot be done on an A4 sheet and pencil. Try A2 sheet and pencil, a4 is too small can't see shit But then how can you paste stock photos from Google Images bro In college one of our particularly strict professors had told us to make a presentation for some topics. He told us we could not use the projector. We had to print out the presentation, hand it to him and then present either from memory or notes. People disliked this but I believe it to be a step in the correct direction. Projectors and slides are useless because students copy paste random shit from the internet into it and then read from the slides. >Do most people read more It depends on the situation Government websites, any sort of forms, image editing (chhapri people love this) all need a computer. General browsing, too. On mobile it's just hard. Zoomers don't mind using their phones for everything btw >drivers in India with expensive phones and actual royalty with 3-5 year old devices 5 years is absolutely nothing these days in terms of technology Yes technology gets better but tbh there is nothing that a new phone today can do but a 5 year old phone cannot. It's a different thing from a revolutionary period like say from 2013 to 2018, the technology world changed and leapt ahead. From 2018 to 2023 it didn't really move much other than manufacturers trying to make bezels smaller and smaller for no reason and making notches of different shapes and sizes and people in the YouTube comments section arguing about which notch shape is better. >My phone has more ram than the laptop I am typing this on, yet its slow and heats up for basic browsing It's also about the processor and shit and websites are needlessly bloated these days. Chromium on all platforms is a fat, shameless piece of garbage. It gets worse with every update. I was truly pissed when they swapped the positions of the block and allow buttons of that message box. It's active user hostility at that point.

>>3555 > But then how can you paste stock photos from Google Images bro Almost all the students I had in previous semesters, lacked reading comprehension for anything beyond a tweet. Asked them to read a short paragraph. They could not identify background and context and subject or predicate. They also don't know basic file/folder management, file naming schemes, space management etc. I have to train them in basic things. Computers have become input tools for most people, a replacement for pen and paper but with edit and paste features. Only that, technology is making people dumber. I have found my own refuge in terms of tech. Low resource consuming distro and roms like this one https://iode.tech/iodeos-installation/#1611161940311-4fb3b2cf-4d60|sc-tabs-1698345692283 Most big tech is anti user for sure.

>>3909 > On that note, I have downgraded to a dumbphone and am planning on getting a tablet soon. Initially wanted to get a laptop but the prices are kinda fucked + I need the touchscreen for notetaking and drawing. Based. Share your experiences with a dumbphone. Touchscreen with pen support is nice. I have one. But eventually, I got back to pen/pencil/paper. Will go back to a laptop without touchscreen eventually. It is nice. I just don't use it as much as I thought I would. Need to digital detox and more screen time to write notes becomes stupid. >>3909 > Android peaked at 5.1 Lollipop. It has been downhill. I would actually recommend normies Apple now, android brings no advantages any more unless you go with custom ROM.

>>3909 >has so many nifty QoL timesaving features that the only browser that even comes close is Vivaldi or Opera. What sort of features? >Buying 1L laptops when reaching in Uni is the only point in alot of chapri's lives when they can play modern videogames That's the point those retards didn't play video games > that note, I have downgraded to a dumbphone I'm too pussy to do it but I've cut down on mobile phone usage. >Ran on 1GB RAM chinkphones with relative ease I really loved KitKat for it's interface.

Seekbar is now a wavy line. Icons are bigger etc Of course they made it more toylike, this is why I hate mobile phones. My phone would pester me to upgrade to Android 12, i knew they would fuck it up so i kept declining the upgrade but someone i gave my phone to authorised the update, fuck man they really just shat out a worse UI and slower menus for basic things like volume control and wifi switches and called it a new version. Someone needs to make a GOOD phone factor and a GOOD OS for it very soon, but i suppose it's already too late because all the major players are settled and if anyone actually makes anything like this no one would buy it and no one would develop apps for it.

Heat and mechanical failure are not well understood as killers of computer components by most people. With kids buying expensive laptops for gayming, they will more or less end up killing their machines with heat (and shitty USB cooling desks) while still performing worst than a desktop counterpart. Makes way more sense to just have a dedicated gayming machine. >>3926 I agree. Though Lineage fork suits my use, but the android features are annoying at best and only serve to bloat. My phone has an octacore processor (laptop has quad, which already feels like a lot to me) and both have 8 gm ram. That said, I installed tracker blocker etc. I never used goggle services and apps before and mostly FOSS stuff, but seeing the amount of trackers in benign websites is really scary. Blocking them all and no google services has doubled my battery life. https://yewtu.be/iZROIjvbICA Lumia's were way ahead of their time, shame on MS on not following through with it. I hope to see something like attached video in future, - Higher battery life - Replaces eink reader But people want gaming, social media etc. So stuff like this will never pick up. I have already bought a phone and use the old one as a portable media player already. When it dies, I will get some kind of portable media player (or use another old phone as one).

>>3909 Vivaldi and Opera steal way too much of your browser data. If you are worried about being spied on, then dump these. Get Firefox, customize it to your needs. Use edge for normie stuff only.

>>3928 anon i have been using Firefox (previously Librewolf but too schizo) for the past 1-2 years, my statement was from a purely utilitarian perspective. Firefox still won't let you have PWAs, split-view tabs, vertical tabs, gestures etc without extensions which all work in a clunky manner. besides that, Edge's new Bing AI is honestly amazing, you can goto a website or smth, let Bing AI scan the website and summarize it shortly. Vivaldi (pretty sure Opera too) has a mail client, notes section and a fuckton of other shit built-in. Firefox is a good web browser, but it needs to catch upto the 21st century.

>>3913 >- Do you guys have a 'Tech guy' to help you with tech ? nope, had to learn everything myself. >On a related note, do you use a tailor or do you buy ready made clothes ? usually tailor-made but sometimes ready-made clothes too, issue with ready-made clothes is that in most cases the quality is subpar

>>3926 >What sort of features? see >>3935 i only pointed out the relevent ones to me, they have so many things firefox lacks that the list will probably be 3 pages long. >That's the point those retards didn't play video games every single mofo i have seen here who bought 1L laptops play videogames on it, only people who don't play games on their laptop are abduls who view their PC/Laptop like a utility akin to a car, and women. >I'm too pussy to do it but I've cut down on mobile phone usage. literally just don't touch your phone for 3-4 days and the urge to be glued to your phone will go away. >I don't see a reason why any of the retarded bloated apps and features should not work on 4gb. Because most "apps" are a browser which launches a single webpage, each "app" is just a glorified browser window but without the sandboxing a normal browser would provide. >Someone needs to make a GOOD phone factor and a GOOD OS for it very soon, Give Oppo/ColorOS a try, I personally liked it, the chinks unfucked the retarded google bullshit.

Can you do text to voice conversions for Indian languages if supplied with text ? It would be nice to have audio of important Indian essays, speeches and quotes, since zoomers don't have the attention span to ready anything.

>>3936 Thank you. Having a good relationship with a tailor is underrated and will get you chicks more easily than xyzmaxxing. It is sad that such concept does not exist (yet) for tech. >>3935 Librewolf is annoying. I only use it for banking. Firefox for most other stuff. Brave for when I need a loaded browser.

Lots of resources online. You can try going out onto the field and find someone/a shop that does it for you, but the success rate isn't very high. It's like trying to influence a war by being in the battlefield, when the place to be is the war room. i remember a ubuntu install going bad and the filesystem being corrupted, this was in 2010 or so so i had nothing but that computer, had no choice but to take it to a repair guy. he wiped the entire drive because he only knew one thing - wipe and install windows. it has happeend to me a couple of times since, and i just repair the filesystem and it works without wiping it. retarded faggot got rid of all my flash SWFs bloody. but if something is complicated but menial, i don't worry too much and just let the phone repair guy handle it. they're part replacers so i let them replace parts but if for example you bricked your phone trying to install lineage they are not likely to help, the most help they will give you is by directing you to someone who specializes in debricking phones. >On a related note, do you use a tailor or do you buy ready made clothes i mostly wear t shirts, so most of my clothes are off the shelf. It's vvery hard to find a pair of jeans that i can fit into so i have one stitched for myself, and presently the only one I have. with shirts i like to buy one and then get it altered by a good tailor.

It is sad that Indian market is still only serving chapri customers. No change yet. Maybe when Indians are richer. Tailored clothes are not about expensive, more about fit and function. You can choose materials that better suit your needs, then you can pockets, fitting etc perfectly tailored to you. A Samsung/iPhone is still just a useless device for people with more disposable income. It does not add any real function to their lives.

>>3989 >money is tight given my personal life atm. So not investing in paid services, but it does look good. I have a way to get decent audio out though, will do that. btw forgot to mention ElevenLabs : https://elevenlabs.io/ A Morrowind mod using ElevenLabs AI to generate voices from text : https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/52279 xVAsynth : https://github.com/DanRuta/xVA-Synth these might be of interest to you too, only issue is getting a large enough sample size of voices and correlated captions/subtitles to train your local model if you decide to train your own model.

>>3989 >A Samsung/iPhone is still just a useless device for people with more disposable income. It does not add any real function to their lives. Except it does 1. You dont have time for bullshit like your phone hanging/lagging due to the manufacturer shipping buggy/broken OS 2. A fuckton of QoL features that are massive timesavers (Scamsung) 3. Extremely good camera if you want to take non-dogshit photos (although Snoy is underrated in that regard) 4. (?) Possibly better durability and good aftermarket repair services

>>3992 Your oneplus/Oppo plus non pozzed OS will beat Samsung/Iphone in this regard easily. Still no memory card or jack. So no for me. Still rocking two 512 GB memory cards and a 1 TB card on my laptop in addition to other storage.

>>3991 >only issue is getting a large enough sample size of voices and correlated captions/subtitles to train your local model Non issue. But I will look into this. Thanks.

>>4004 >Still no memory card or jack. So no for me. I literally couldn't get my 128GB phone storage usage to half despite having a sizeable movie/series/song/deogame ROMs collection >jack there are USB-C to headphone jack converters anon which cost 3$

>>4010 besides, instead of having bigger storage in your phone it's more conveinent to have a NAS for all your media needs, get some cheapass shitty PC, install some NAS-friendly OS like Fedora Server + a shitton of Harddisks and install Jellyfin/SimpleDLNA on it done

>>4010 I don't like relying on the internet. I travel a lot and spend lot of time in area's with no internet or 2G network. Not to mention, Internet is a battery drain. I keep all my music and books with me, which in itself goes to around ~300 gb. The extra space for photos/videos/audio recordings. I usually offload this to my external drive at home. Usb C convertor becomes another thing to carry, it is not universal, so what works on one phone doesn't work on another or on my laptop. It is creating a problem that did not exist and solves neither. Only pushes Bluetooth on me, which dies with 2 years and pushes me to consoom more. >>4011 Same as internet. I do have tons of 1 Tb memory cards. also an external, but its days are numbered now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Room_of_One's_Own I wonder, if its necessary to write a book like this in today's world, when literal operating systems spy on users, on a device where users give away all their most intimate details.

>>4060 >I keep all my music and books with me, which in itself goes to around ~300 gb. and do you consoom all of them at the same time ? just keep things you consoom on your phone, rest of it on a NAS

>>4061 Computers melt my thought process. Ideally I could print 1000s of pages of resources and then retire to an apartment with one bedroom containing only a bed, a decent bathroom, and then a study with no internet or telephone access, just bookshelves, a desk, and a typewriter and notepad. That's how almost all great literature was made in the past, and the fact is writing has gone to shit since the internet and PCs. I will not change my mind on this.

>>4065 See >>4059 Though I have found a productive schedule, computers are not ideal for deep work. >>4063 I actually do anon. 2 decades worth of reading, personal notes, work data etc. My use case is not typical, but there are others, who also do something like this. I have already answered by NAS is not a solution for me.

>>4066 >I actually do anon. In that case, that's justified. >>3914 >Based. Share your experiences with a dumbphone. less time consooming social media bullshit, nobody contacts me unless it's absolutely necessary, for other stuff i check facebook about twice times a day. >Touchscreen with pen support is nice. I have one. But eventually, I got back to pen/pencil/paper. Will go back to a laptop without touchscreen eventually. i did think tablets were overrated and exclusively used pen and paper for notetaking for a long time issues with pen and paper for me are - no ability to search through notes and find stuff - no conveinent way to make backups - no ability to edit/append text for now i use VSCode + markdown files to take notes, it works decently well.

>>4066 also, how do you keep things in sync anon ? I personally used to use SyncThing when I had a smartphone and it worked decently well.

>>4068 I have syncthing and it is great, but haven't set it up on new device yet. Still doing it manually, from old terminal scripts that used to do it. They work as well as Syncthing. Need to do it in Dec. Good reminder. >>4067 Pen -> Paper -> Markdown --Pandoc--> PDF I used Obsidian and VS Code but ended up going to logseq , then back to Terminal. The extra step of paper to typing helps me remember stuff. I like writing with my pens and pencils, I like structuring things my own way. Then digitizing them in my own way. Does it take more time ? Yes. It is worth it fully. I can remember complex facts and narratives on esoteric subjects when needed.

Red flag. https://ad-aspi.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/2023-03/ASPIs%20Critical%20Technology%20Tracker_0.pdf The top 10% of the most highly cited papers were analysed to generate insights into which countries are publishing the greatest share of high-quality, innovative and high-impact research.29 Credit for each publication was divided among authors30 and their affiliations and not assigned only to the first author (for example, if there were two authors, they would each be assigned half the allocation). Fractional allocation of credit is a better prediction of individuals who go on to win Nobel Prizes or fellowship of prestigious societies.31 Fractional allocation of credit was used for all metrics.32 The H-index (Hirsch index) is an established performance metric used for analysing the impact of scholarly output and is calculated from citation numbers of an individual’s set of publications.33 It’s a combined measure of quantity and impact and performs better than other single-number summaries of research quality.34 Calculating the H-index with five years worth of data (as we do in this research) eliminates a key criticism, which is that highly cited papers from decades ago boost the H-index but don’t reflect current research excellence.35 Another criticism of the H-index is that publication volumes vary by field of research, and this can unfairly advantage those in a field with high publication rates.36 The H-index quality metric used here compares countries within the same technology area. This approach reduces but doesn’t eliminate that problem.37 Neither individual papers with extreme citation numbers nor a large number of papers with low citation counts inflate the H-index used here. We calculate the five-year H-index at the institution38 and country levels.39 ‘Technology monopoly risk’ metric: highlighting concentrations of technological expertise low medium high The technology monopoly risk traffic light seeks to highlight concentrations of technological expertise in a single country. It incorporates two factors: how far ahead the leading country is relative to the next closest competitor, and how many of the world’s top 10 research institutions are located in the leading country. Naturally, these are related, as leading institutions are required to produce high-impact research. This metric, based on top 10% research output, is intended as a leading indicator for potential Yeah. This is really stupid.

faster SD : https://github.com/cumulo-autumn/StreamDiffusion

They made an arm processor big enough to run a laptop They made windows able to run on it I suppose the market is going to become interesting now. for the past decade all the evolution in computing was just more computing power and progressively shittier software but the leash of the entire desktop and laptop market was in the hands of the creators of the x86_64 architectures. Anyone can make an arm processor and if somehow it surpasses the intel/AMD chip things could get interesting. Im no specialist in this subject so that might be an impossibility too idk

>>4541 Issue isn't power. M series is quiet powerful already. So are the SD chips. Issue is emulation. Most of our apps and tools are X86. Another issue is cooling. There are physical limits to it. That said, the new solid state zoltac fans (https://www.extremetech.com/computing/zotac-unveils-the-worlds-first-mini-pc-with-solid-state-cooling) give me hope. That said. Laptops are plenty powerful already. I have a 4-5 year old laptop, with an 8 core processor. I can run pretty heavy code on it.

>>4541 I am usually more impressed by the lower end of tech. The new Intel N200 processor, 4 cores and runs fanless on 5W. For my personal use, a weak machine is more than enough. For everything computationally intensive, makes way more sense to use a desktop. Idk why desktops lost favour with people.

https://www.extremetech.com/mobile/apple-figures-out-how-to-run-larger-ai-models-on-a-phone I only see people dumbing down further with this. AI is not infalliable, people relying on it for answers instead of doing their own search, will only create more Sheeple.

>>4541 >They made an arm processor big enough to run a laptop It always existed, iPads and Android tabs since 2018 have matched/exceeded low/midrange laptops and absolutely beat anything in 2008 (only 10 years ago) And if you bring in RISC CPUs, not ARM only, then PPC macs, SPARC workstations and all sorts of high-perf workstation machines have existed for as long as x86 has Apple didn't design M series chips because ARM is better, Apple designed M series chips because they got tired of nvidia's hostile practices and intel's bullshit performance

>>4541 >Anyone can make an arm processor and if somehow it surpasses the intel/AMD chip things could get interesting you fell for the marketing the reason why M series apple chips are so good is because the RAM is on-die instead of being separate and they put in a fuckton of accelerators it crushes alot of things in video transcoding tasks and performs so well in video editing is because of third-party vendor support + accelerators

>>4544 >Most of our apps and tools are X86. this OSs and performance don't mean shit if you don't have APPS to run on it. This is why even if linux worked flawlessly on everyone's computers people still won't give a shit and still stick with windows, because of Adobe/Autodesk/MSOffice monopoly like one MS engineer said in the 90s, people don't use OSs, people use apps, it was Raymond Chen probably

>>4548 >For everything computationally intensive, makes way more sense to use a desktop. and soon the cloud, as much as i hate to say this. >>4548 >Idk why desktops lost favour with people. marketing, everyone got brainwashed by marketing people on how laptops are actually better than desktops over arbitary superficial differences, and your average boomer/zoomer fell for it mostly on size tbh, "look desktops are so bulky and take so much space, laptops are so much more compact and straightforward"

>>4548 >runs fanless on 5W. holy shit anon it's going to be a toasty chip phone SoCs run at 6-7W under full benchmarking load and they get HOT it needs a fan, having a fan on a laptop is common sense

>>4544 of course, but efficiency is also a metric and especially important for portable devices >most tools are x86 Good thing you brought this up. I don't really understand, if they port windows to it, and the programs you run on Windows that aren't supposed to do any sort of low level dealing (e.g. dealing with peripherals, ACPI queries that sort of things) and are purely in the loop of file access -> process file -> save file, like video editors for example, who only talk to the kernel - why would this be an issue with those? Shouldn't the kernel if they ported it properly, behave in nearly the same way? Apart from this if in the future for some reason arm becomes mainstream everyone is going to recompile their shit for that architecture. >There are physical limits to it For laptops yes i suppose For desktops and servers the only limit I can think of is the area of contact of the heat exchanger with the processor. Everything else you can build around this. Disspiating some 100 watt of power doesn't seem too hard >That said. Laptops are plenty powerful already. I have a 4-5 year old laptop, with an 8 core processor. I can run pretty heavy code on it. >>4548 >For my personal use, a weak machine is more than enough. Laptops these days are more powerful than anyone needs >For everything computationally intensive, makes way more sense to use a desktop. Idk why desktops lost favour with people. normalfags think what the tv tells them to. And no one ever advertises a cool guy doing cool things on a desktop, it's always a laptop or a tablet or some other weird gadget so normalfags associate laptops with being cool and hip and desktops not so. There. Apart from this a laptop is more personal and portable and unlike 8chan rahiwasis like ourselves people often step out and work elsewhere, so I suppose that is something. also it's obvious that laptops are harder to repair and easier to convince people theirs is outdated. if I have enough space and don't need the portability I will use a desktop >>4552 >the reason why M series apple chips are so good is because the RAM is on-die instead of being separate and they put in a fuckton of accelerators How does RAM being on die make a computer faster? (I am asking because I don't know kek) > if you bring in RISC CPUs, not ARM only, then PPC macs, SPARC workstations and all sorts of high-perf workstation machines have existed for as long as x86 has if you have more resources about this link them this seems interesting

>>4549 I already hate retards getting info from the first nice (((explanation))) that {{{[[[<<<(((Google)))>>>]]]}}} kindly expands for them without looking at the full context or even opening the source.

>>4560 >How does RAM being on die make a computer faster? The CPU can access data faster from memory. And in alot of cases, the CPU is bottlenecked by memory bandwidth/latency. RAM being on-die reduces latency between the RAM and the CPU (because they're literally next to eachother) I have seen mountains upon mountains of documentries and resources on this, sadly I did not save any, I do remember the N64 being cucked due to it's RAM, here's the vid link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRslfM-MOOw >>4560 >if you have more resources about this link them this seems interesting Wiki articles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Graphics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARCstation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Macintosh YT documentries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vEU_9JPrf4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugxKgkZ3iEw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0GqCxMmyF4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDxLa6P6exc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVDcAyMq_ro

>>4565 Another thing to keep in mind is that being "Faster" is relative Faster in what ? A 2nd/3rd gen intel i5 will struggle to play 4k youtube but a modern 12th/13th gen i5 won't, that is because of the lack of various media transcoding accelerators that are missing from the old CPU, modern CPUs include those.

>>4564 The actual sophisticated part is scary. You would already know how west weaponizes research and English to attack its enemies and justify its actions. AI just automates this process. Indians who use these AI, literally take propaganda from their enemies. I don't talk to sheeple outside of work. IF I have to, then I make it a point to take a bath afterwards. Intellectual dishonesty is पाप। >>4560 It isn't ported properly. Some apps are directly compatible, others are not. Many are compatible but need external libraries that are not compatible etc. We are almost upon a hard limit for silicon. We need a new material for chips. When there is a color eink screen that's good, Ill make something like this https://github.com/zerowriter/zerowriter1 Boox and other tablets don't have an open OS. Pocketbooks stuff doesn't support external peripherals, else id have shifted mine to the pocketbook tablet itself long back. >>4559 Its actually not. Its quiet good. Shows the improvements in current gen. I use an i5 10th gen fanless. Android is busy spying on you , which is why it heats. Also, most computers are designed for American and European climates. Indian subcon needs computers designed for higher room temperatures and dust. Luckily, this is happening now.

>>4575 >We are almost upon a hard limit for silicon. We need a new material for chips. There's Graphene and Light, also Quantum computing, IBM is working on all of those fronts. We need new chip fabrication techniques instead of higher perf/new materials anyways, ASML doing some black magic to make fabbing machines isn't exactly good for humanity. Recently Canon revisited a theoretical technique (and actual Fabbing machines) that could create chips in a far cost-effective way https://global.canon/en/news/2023/20231013.html

>>4580 Another breakthrough could be in in-memory compute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTnr8z-ePR4

It feels so nice everytime I use any Open-source project. Back in Windows 10, anytime a new update broke anything, I could either go back to an older version and keep praying MS fixes their shit in the next update, or I could just cope with some bullshit new bug that absolutely decimated my PC's performance or created some extremely specific annoyance in a task in my workflow. There is no way to let the devs know of the bug nor to help them with any debugging effort. Meanwhile in FOSS projects, I can report a bug in a bugtracker, and in hours some dev or a contributor will reply asking for more info to how to reproduce the bug. and it will get fixed in the next point release or hotfix update. Sometimes I contribute myself incase the devs are uninterested. FOSS software is extremely empowering, I hope FOSS grows more in the coming days, esp. as everything is slowly moving towards the (((Cloud)))

>>4580 I am using a degoogled Lineage Fork, on repairable hardware and replaceable battery. >>4566 On other fronts, 2nd gen Intel is gold. Heats up, but insane performance. >>4588 I can't go back. Tech minimalism and FOSS use is great. Donated some scheckles, will donate more. Hopefully the Subcon will adopt more FOSS and contribute.

>>4589 >On other fronts, 2nd gen Intel is gold. Heats up, but insane performance. compared to the CPUs that came before, sure. I myself am running a older <6th gen shitbox. >>4589 >I am using a degoogled Lineage Fork, on repairable hardware and replaceable battery. even C2Ds and C2Qs hold up decently well today. I mean, personal home computers peaked at Windows 98SE/XP, everything after that is just conveinence/QoL stuff. >>4589 >I am using a degoogled Lineage Fork, on repairable hardware and replaceable battery. I was talking about chips, as in semiconductor chips I meant Graphene the material, not the OS

>>4600 Innovation can come as progress in steps (graphene) or as a surprise. We are close to using real cells to create organic computers too. It is fine to anticipate tech, but the amount of possibilities is too high to be certain about anything. Smallest missed detail, can make world of a difference.

>>4600 >compared to the CPU's that came before, sure. >I myself am running a older <6th gen shitbox. Not at all. You could voltage overclock and under-clock the 2nd gen. From 2nd until 11th, it was just optimisation. Real gains came in 12th and 13th gen. 13th Gen is really good. Though, personally I would get a Ryzen next if they keep up the efficiency. Those are for computational work and/or programming. For personal use and travel, a cheap linux tablet is good enough. I wish I could just use my eink tablet for that. That would have been ideal. When you travel so much, every extra 100 gram matter. Those executives, don't just carry it for style. The weight penalty is real.

>>4647 >never had to use these I doubt there is anyone on this website who has any amount of experience in coding but has not used Borland Turbo C++ kek. I used it when i was in school and my brother used it through his engineering. I don't know where you had your education but if it wasn't in india, i'll tell you this IDE was VERY popular in India, probably still is to some extent. Probably because it works on Windows XP computers from 2007 and earlier which form(ed) a good % of computers for many of those programming classes, their owners also probably learnt the tools of their trade in the 90s so they actually lived through these and don't want to switch. This last reason is also why there were a lot of computers in engineering colleges which have that IDE installed. >In Linux, almost every program was also text based as it is to this day huh (i like them though because they are very specific tools for very specific purposes and they get things done fast) >Vim vimcels are unreasonable people >is less than 9 MB after installation and ran within 640kb of RAM. small programs also get you a high because you become aware of just how little resources you need and just how needlessly bloated modern programs are. what's a good IDE for loonix? I don't like programming in sublime text then compiling with gcc and then running the code with ./, there has to be a better way. >>4588 people won't realise this easily but software is a tool of power. using products from companies did not matter much in the offline days nor did companies care, but now that everything is connected they're quite clear when they're saying "thou shalt only run those programs as are allowed by us." free software is freedom, software from microshit and google means they hold your leash. and electronics and computers themselves are tools to independence and freedom if you use them right.

can somebody please share free resources for upscaling and colorizing long,old videos? I want to colorize and upscale some rare family footage I came across, but I do not have access to a powerful computer(I have a gtx 1650 laptop, which is mid at best) I would appreciate something that doesn't require a lot of technical expertise

>>4649 Good to see another user. I have bittersweet feelings. Lot of Nostalgia. Lot of time spent debugging on it, which in any programming above 1000 lines, was a real pain in the ass. That said, it was a better intro than say Vim, which I only got into in last 5 years. > vimcels are unreasonable people It does one thing and does it really well. It is born of that old abstract unfrieldly cd ideology. The light weight nature means it is my program of choice when ssh'ing into my computational machine. > IDE for loonix Depends on what you are working with. Codium is Visual studio code without the MS bits. If comfort is what you want, this is as comfy as it gets. > thou shalt only run those programs as are allowed by us. It is pretty bad. Israel neutralised almost all petrol pumps in Iran, just to flex on them, using a software exploit in Microsoft. If our leaders have any brains, we should be investing a fuck ton in doing basic things on our own without western software. That is just the tip of the ice berg. The amount of fags who lost their data in hacks and don't even know about it , is astounding.

>>4649 Emacs or doom emacs is good if you don't mind the learning curve and are happy with old style interface's There is clion by jetbrains if you are using C still. Its not really an improvement over turboland imo. Kdevelop is pretty good if you use KDE.

https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/surface/microsoft-surface-pro-10-laptop-6-major-update-intel-arm-ai-2024 Not buying anymore MS hardware. I originally got it for supported drivers. Then Windows became unusable.

>>4649 >I doubt there is anyone on this website who has any amount of experience in coding but has not used Borland Turbo C++ kek. My father sent me to a "Programmer" (Webshitter) when I was a teen after he saw I coded a cideogame for a science fair project, that I could hone my programming skills. He was in his mid-20s, back then everyone and their mother was running Windows 7, and this motherfucker told me to install Turbo C++ on my machine. I literally visibly cringe at him and showed him CodeBlocks, he looked at it, looked at me as if I showed him some space age tech, then told me yeah I can use that too. Needless to say, I stopped going to him after 3-4 days, there were alot of other reasons, but the TC++ thing also had a part to play.

>>4671 *videogame, *cringed

>>4649 >Probably because it works on Windows XP computers from 2007 kek no There was also Borland C++ which had a GUI similar to CodeBlocks, made by the same company that made Turbo C++ It is just incompetence and dogmatism of Indian IT coolies/Unishitters

>>4649 >what's a good IDE for loonix? Kate/Kdevelop or VSC(ium) >VSC is not a IDE Not vanilla VSC, but the plugins transform it into one, including a compile/debug/build button some compilers introduce GNOME Builder and Qt Creator/Developer exist too but they're primarily oriented towards developing GNOME/Qt Linux desktop apps respectively.

>>4660 >It does one thing and does it really well. It is born of that old abstract unfrieldly cd ideology. The light weight nature means it is my program of choice when ssh'ing into my computational machine. The issue with Vim/Emacs is they use keybindings that are retarded by modern standards AND you have to read a relatively big user manual AND practice for hours. I see the primary disadvantages as 1. you might have trouble to switch back and forth between MS Office and vim 2. you need to sink alot of hours which could have been better spent doing something actually useful instead of relearning the same shit in a different way, VSCode is 90% of the way there anyways, you spend a fuckton of effort to acheive the last 10% 3. SUPPORT. That's it. I don't like big corpo but big corpo atleast has some form of support for alot of things. This is why I use Fedora, it has support of RH behind it, Arch and other meme distros are meme distros, Canonical and SUSE just plagarize ("share") Redhat's work on the desktop and end up introducing kinks and bugs of their own, notably Ubuntu with their weird hacky patches on GNOME and other things. RedHat HAS to make Fedora better for the sake of the next RHEL, and the users become the benefactors of their work, while Arch won't give a rat's ass about anyone and Ubuntu/SUSE have hundreds of tripmines ready to explode at any udpate/additional patch because they fucked with RH's og source.

I want to read manga but its so hard on the eyes on my mobile phone and also laptop What's a good device to read it (cheap) It will be useful because I will also use it to read more books other than manga >>4677 What do you do and in what ways does AI help you

>>4671 >>4675 You can change it to your own preferred key bindings. > you need to sink alot of hours If you are trying to learn coding and using it, then Vim/EMACS is just few 50 hours extra learning. But, if you have a project which needs precision, then Vim/Emacs are simply better, you can perform operations on text way better than say Codium or office. > Support If you need to contact them, the battle is lost. But I agree with you FOSS needing more stable funding. >>4677 Nope. Learn to make an organized folder structure, quick ocmmands, macro's etc. Learn it. Embrace the pain. AI will only make you a dumb coder/script kiddie. This is fine for your low end blue collar coding job. If you want to do any real work, these skills are indispensable. I filter lot of 21 year olds for these exact reasons, not letting them on important projects, exactly for this reason. >>4690 https://www.amazon.com/PocketBook-Eye-Friendly-Lightweight-Touchscreen-Dictionaries/dp/B0CCNYKY6V/ Get this. > Kindle Retarded software. Poor value for money. > Kindle fire hurts your eyes worst I would still say, if you can, sink some money and get a big eink screen.

>>4691 >Nope. Learn to make an organized folder structure, quick ocmmands, macro's etc. Learn it. Embrace the pain. I probably already have some severe undiagnosed OCD, I do organize my stuff in a very autistic manner. But some AI features are/can be genuinely very nice. Say for example I need to OCR a pdf, an AI might do that far better than current OCR tools. Or filter blurry photos, fix orientation of photos, crop/color adjust them accordingly, do photoshop-like edits that would take me 15mins. Or teach me how to operate some program with meme documentation by looking at it's source code Such and such but I have faced genuine situations in life where having an AI do some shit would save hours of my stuff.

>>4691 >100$ on Amazon.com >26k rupees on Amazon India Holy shit

>>4691 >>4691 >You can change it to your own preferred key bindings. ik but i prefer sane defaults >>4691 >If you are trying to learn coding and using it, then Vim/EMACS is just few 50 hours extra learning. Anon... 50 hours is enough time for me to read 3 300-400 page books AND do extra factchecking/verification on top. 50hours is a fuckton of time.

>external HDD costs like 5k per tb because they're in demand because SSDs are small >but laptop hdds are cheap because no demand because everyone is buying SSDs >buy instead a laptop hdd for like 2k a TB and then buy a sata to USB enclosure for 500 >now you have a terabyte for 2.5k to store all your lathjap can't believe it is this easy >>4700 When it comes to tools it's an investment and returns thing. He believes if you put in an extra 50 hours worth of effort into learning vim those 50 hours will pay themselves back in the form of increased efficiency and productivity and you will save more time

>>4701 >can't believe it is this easy Laptop HDDs are 5400rpm on average Desktop HDDs are 7200rpm on average that extra 1800rpm has a significant impact on speed and seek time.

>>4702 I'm talking about external hard drives anon. What rpm are those on average

>>4703 those are 5400rpm on average, basically repurposed laptop (2.5") HDDs I misunderstood, thought you meant using Desktop HDDs with an enclosure as external HDDs, i completely forgot about the fact companies actually sell external HDDs with fancy packaging.

>>4704 >those are 5400rpm on average, basically repurposed laptop (2.5") HDDs Exactly, kek so we repurpose them ourselves. Wish I'd known this before

>>4690 >>4708 >>4704 >>4702 >>4703 >>4701 7200 RPM drivers are a scam. They heat and fail more on average. If you want cheap storage and speed, setup a RAID system. If you want pure speed but sacrifice longevity, SSD's are gold but fail pretty hard. Don't buy new western digitals and avoid San Disk SSD's and Samsung 980 series for SSD's as well. I used HDD's so much, I can feel its vibrations and tell if its faulty and to what extent. >>4701 People can type as fast as they want, they still think at 60 WPM. Similarly, long term productivity is slow but doing what is important and with precision.

Gonna seriously pursue this year, maa kasam gaand tod dunga DAW ki dk shit en tho

>>4720 >If you want cheap storage and speed, setup a RAID system. Already have >>4720 >7200 RPM drivers are a scam. They heat and fail more on average. werks for me, on the contrary my 5400rpm HDD failed before my 7200rpm HDDs >>4720 >If you want pure speed but sacrifice longevity, SSD's are gold but fail pretty hard. A CoW filesystem with transparent block-level compression like BTRFS will SIGNIFICANTLY slow the wear on a SSD

>>4699 Are you staying in India ? Sadly options are limited. Get used kindle from someone or kindle kids edition. https://www.amazon.in/7-5inch-Two-Color-Interface-Raspberry-Pi/dp/B0BHWTVLQC/ Attack this to RaPi or something similar and figure out how to display files to it.

>>4735 Ah damn. Then you need to run your own model for sure. 1 Hr long video would be hitting the limit with every service

>>4736 Why can't an Indian firm make a decent eink tablet ? Seriously.

>>4738 nothing decent is made in India, everyone is after than FAGMAN job.

>>4736 >>4742 Days of cushy fagman jobs are over now. Diversity hires are the first do and the culling is already going on. I hope someone will do it. Doesn't have to be great or competitive, just has to do bare minimum at a sub 10K price. Which is very doable. Off the shelf parts cost less than that. If some anon needs a business idea, this is one. >>4699 Kindle. Or just get a cheap ribbon printer and A4 paper, use that. Sad but realistic.

>>4726 >>4723 We need to update the audio thread to a version 2.0. Including piracy , streaming , production etc.

>>4725 What drives are you using and what year did you buy them ? We have had horrible expirience with WD 7200 drives. That said, with a good raid 5.0 system, the speed seriously kills any need for 7200. We use an SSD for on disk computation. After the program run, we move results to RAID system, which is a common configuration.

>>4746 there are a lot of piracy sources in the audio thread, basedanon posted them long ago check >>501 and its replies

>>4730 Get a mic or use your phone mic. Create samples. Learn to load them in FL etc and enjoy. >>4749 YEP. Basedanon did a great job. I just want to upgrade them. Some don't work well. There are other improvements too. Important to keep upgrading and updating threads.

>>4748 >What drives are you using and what year did you buy them ? We have had horrible expirience with WD 7200 drives. Scavenged 10yo enterprise drives which were never turned off in the 10 years they were in use. + Own Toshiba and WD drives I bought 5-6 years ago They just keep working, speeds are around 160-180mb/s sequential read/write

>>4753 You lucked out. The ones manufactured in last 3 years are absolute trash.

>>4749 i have fl, what i want is more courses, learning material and shit that covers more than yt tutorials going over ui

>>4720 >Don't buy new western digitals and avoid San Disk SSD's and Samsung 980 series for SSD's as well. Have an old wd external hard disk from 2016, it failed in 2020. Has important data on it, pictures and videos mainly. Back then i thought hard drives failing was an impossibility because i was young and had never seen a hard drive die so it probably never happens. Now I've seen actual people die so I'm wiser strangely enough i have a wd green 5400 rpm hard drive from 2015, that's working fine. So I don't know what to believe. >>4738 The Indian homegrown electronics industry is non-existent, the most we have ever achieved is marketing cheap no name Chinese products. >>4745 >Off the shelf parts cost less than that. >f some anon needs a business idea, this is one. Even if you buy things in bulk the other business expenses will soon catch up, only someone with an existing manufacturing unit can do this, and then again people aren't going to buy it because the kindle isn't very far away at that point

>>4761 You always need to mix mediums. I like using SD cards, due to their size. Now they offer upto 100 mbps speeds, which is more than enough. Unironically makes sense to keep backups in prints too if you can afford the space. idk why people buy a kindle. It is peak bad design, designed to fail and annoying to use. Price isn't an issue. If someone can build a tablet that is not locked down, lot of people including GOI would invest in it. It isn't terribly hard either.

>>4760 Unironically read a book YT tutorials ALWAYS were overrated and wasted more time for me than if I had read a book. >what book literally google "best books for xyz", open 5-6 articles, identify the books that show up in almost all of them, download and read them

>>380 Where can I find drives like these again. It was originally built for Security feed storage, but it's not available anywhere now. Great robust storage for long term storage. Also, can someone read the SMART data for me. Never understood how the current/worst/min values worked. Just have been looking at the raw values and guessing for now. Only thing I have figured out is that no sectors have gone bad for now. However the platters now take about a second to spin-up (fine by me)

>>4768 >idk why people buy a kindle I bought mine 12 years ago, and it still works as if it was new. I can read pirated books on it, and that fulfills my use case

>>4772 Older ones (gen 6 and pre) were good. Newer ones ping a lot more to Amazon and the batteries don't last as long. Jailbreak is necessary but Amazon made it harder. Pocketbook in comparison is much better in every way

>>4771 >13k power on hours wtf was this drive in a server or something?

>>4781 >>4781 It was my main Os drive for 8 years. Shifted to an SSD last year. Can't imagine running win10 on this. Windows 7 really was peak comfy (also didn't rape SSD to it's tbw)

>>4783 PS, you didn't answer me Where do I buy the og toshiba drives. (Perfect for pre 2006 games/screen recording/archive

>>4783 7 was the last comfy Win OS for me, though it needed to be modded heavily to turn off the Telemetry.

One of the simplest ways to make the modern web faster is to install ublock, let it do it's adblocking, THEN disable remote fonts and optionally Javascript, my browsing speed almost tripled, half the bloat of modern web is every website insisiting on loading their own custom fonts

>>4839 Lifetime ublock user. But I hardly use the modern web for much. Posting here, downloading movies and sometimes buying music and books. Life outside normie web (FAANG) is good.

>>4842 I am a lifetime ublock user too, I was talking about blocking remote fonts and optionally JS remote fonts add 1-2s of delay on loading webpages for me sometimes even more depending on how bloated the page is

firefox containers are a godsend I can keep my psuedo-anonymous accs in their own separate containers, real accs in their own containers, and chan shit in their own containers FF has so many nifty features like these, if only Mozilla gave enough fucks to enable and integrate them ootb as a first-party feature

>>4849 Qrd? And what exactly do they do? I tried using them but I'm too retarded to make it work. I don't really remember what I was trying to do, but in the end I settled with having 2 profiles on the browser, one that doesn't keep history or cookies and one that keeps cookies but deleted history. I think I wanted to stay signed out of websites but also wanted to log in instantly when i needed to

>>4849 >>4849 I should really donate to Mozilla. Have used their products a lot and benefitted a lot from them. >>4848 I meant font blocking too. HS blocking breaks a lot of websites - SAD. I am not a fan of Java. But I am not a web programmer either, so fuck if I know.

>>4850 >>4850 You know how in Windows you can have separate users, who can install separate things and keep their data separate ? Similar So if you have 3 google accounts, you can create 3 different containers for each google account and use them simultaneously in each container, instead of signing into them normally and constantly having your shit messed up. TL;DR imagine browser profiles, but you can choose which tab to open under which profile, in a single firefox window.

>>4852 >I should really donate to Mozilla. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4387539/firefox-money-investigating-the-bizarre-finances-of-mozilla

>>4851 >Deepin Singlehandedly the most retarded DE I have ever used. They wanted to hammer KDE into being GNOME, and the result is a monstrosity. Although in the infinite chinese wisdom, instead of reinventing the wheel they did add ALOT of QoL improvements.

I have had EXTREMELY bad experiences trying to use any kind of Electron app as a Flatpak. It has been 3-4 months since VSC syncing/Github login was broke and it is STILL broken. Native version works flawlessly in distrobox but has issues opening links on my flatpak Firefox. Canonical has uniro won the desktop linux space with snaps, despite the entire FOSS community being anti-snap. Snaps just work.

>>380 BTN has an invite thread on PTP and RED PTP has an invite thread on RED this is the best chance to get into the leet cabal trackers, probably the only one for the next few years Requirements: TM+ and 1 year account age on RED/PTP

>>4857 Flatpaks are slowwww Electron apps are just horrible on every platform for me Snaps week but slow AF to install and upgrade. I am considering Ubuntu or Debian in future.

>>4859 >I am considering Ubuntu or Debian in future. There is no better desktop linux OS than Fedora. I am saying this from an unbiased POV. Only major distro to ship BTRFS OOTB with zstd compression, have zram enabled with zstd compression, not have swap enabled so linux doesn't rape your SSD/HDD (replaced by zram), and generally have the non-hacky attitude towards software. There's OpenSUSE too but it's not a major distro.

>>4860 Since i think you are quite knowledgable about the Linux ecosystem, could you please answer some questions which i can't just get a straight answer on /g/ 1. Are Corporations such as Red Hat bad(in the sense that creation of different software eg. wayland instead of maintaining the current software or improving it) for Linux? 2. Will Wayland really be the future for display servers? I am still using Xorg because of a bug in mpv 3. Will the current FOSS Model(for devs whose livelihood depends on donations) really work in the future?(eg. unemployment rates increasing, inflation etc.) 4. Is fragmentation(i.e having multiple software that achieve the same stuff eg. init systems, distros) a bad thing?

>>4871 >1. Are Corporations such as Red Hat bad(in the sense that creation of different software eg. wayland instead of maintaining the current software or improving it) for Linux? objectively speaking, no corpos are the reason linux can be used by the average joe in the first place think for a second why FreeBSD didn't take off in the consumer desktop space, but linux did. As Benno Rice put it, "The issue with FreeBSD is that unlike Linux, FreeBSD didn't have a RedHat or a big corpo backing it" >>4871 >2. Will Wayland really be the future for display servers? I am still using Xorg because of a bug in mpv Fedora is going to remove xorg for GNOME and KDE spins in the next release next RHEL will not ship xorg next Ubuntu LTS was supposed to drop xorg, but they backed out because of nvidia what do you think ? >>4871 >3. Will the current FOSS Model(for devs whose livelihood depends on donations) really work in the future?(eg. unemployment rates increasing, inflation etc.) FOSS will always exist, but FOSS has it's limits. FOSS can be divided into two camps, community and corpo. Community FOSS is, and always will be, primarily small utilities that massively increase usability of a computer for a consumer, it is software by the people, of the people, for the people. No Community FOSS dev earns a single penny off of their work, money is not the intention behind FOSS, the community is, sharing the results of your effort with others so everyone can benefit. And for that reason, Community FOSS won't be going away anytime soon Prime example is Community FOSS software that exists for Windows and Android.

>>4871 >>4871 >4. Is fragmentation(i.e having multiple software that achieve the same stuff eg. init systems, distros) a bad thing? A personal preference with no objective answer. My answer would be yes, for example, instead of .config even existing, every linux app should use dconf. Do you think android and ios would be as effective/good as they are if they had 50 different ways to do the same thing ?

https://youtu.be/2DOd4RLNeT4 Thanks to driving in India, I hate driving cars (bikes are ok, but on all roads, you will eventually die on a motorbike). I always thought that autonomous driving would solve this problem eventually. But so far it still seems very questionable. TLDR; Autonomous driving is not reliable still. I hate GOI so much. They turned perfectly walk able towns and cities and destroyed them, public transport is dead or useless.Bangalore became true Bhangilore and is now an assault on the senses. Chennai is useless now but it used to be good. Bombay is dead. Kolkatta always already dead in early 2000's. Guwahati is filled with Rohingyas so the less said the better. And we pay for cities that get shittier with time. Delhi is Delhi and should be nuked (minus the PMO) and it would solve most of India's problems. >>4860 I don't really use BTRFS OOTB , due to limitations of the projects I am working on. But eventually, I do plan to shift to it. Lets see. Snaps are still slow but perform better than Flatpaks. Flatpaks add 2 seconds solid to every app. I hate the performance.

>>4854 Thanks for sharing this. I had heard something similar before and was aware that google funds then and dropped the idea, this was a great ex plainer, . the NGO part and the political bullshit disgusted me. I will keep leeching off of them.

>>4904 >I always thought that autonomous driving would solve this problem eventually my thoughts >we will always find a way to turn the solution into a problem >self driving is not really a solution, more technology will not solve problems inherent to the humans using it >the moment self driving becomes even a remote possibility the government will quickly want to exercise a great amount of power over the users of the technology It's safe to say this because it has happened all the times before today - they did it with cell phones and the internet, and there is no reason to believe they won't do the same thing with any new technology. If they can't control it they ban it or make it unviable (satellite phones are banned by a law inherited from the British, and crypto they taxed the shit out of). It is different in America for example where people take their freedom and rights seriously and try to at least pretend to lift a finger against government interference in matters. Our country doesn't belong to us, it belongs to the government. >self driving cars will give the administration more excuses to be incompetent (oh we aren't going to repair those streetlights because all your cars have radar these days teehee, also program your car to avoid that pothole, no we won't fix it) >self driving cars will be super locked down, even more than normal cars of today seems like a disaster all around but who knows

https://youtu.be/RCygDlUqdF0 System of a down - AI cover. >>4909 Yeah. Tech for the sake of tech. We are just mislead with dreams. Only to keep working towards a reality, that is hostile to us. I wonder what happens to all these theoretical futures, where these things don't turn to shit. All these ghost futures, that never happened.

>>380 https://www.ismailzai.com/blog/picking-the-widevine-locks good read

>>380 pyaare anons today I will switch from VSC to Lapce Also Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is a slow shitty dumpster fire, so is the snap client

>>4928 Lapce looks good. Why not snaps on fedora ? I still prefer apt but ubuntu is pushing snaps hard.

>>4942 >Why not snaps on fedora ? one more package to layer on top of the rpm-ostree jenga tower. besides, around 30-40% of the apps I use are ONLY available as Flatpaks, Flatpak runtimes already take up a sizeable portion of my system, dont want to stick snaps on top of it. The "le Flatpaks bloat" argument is real no matter what anyone tells you, on average Flatpaks will pull in extra 10-15GB worth of runtimes and other bullshits (on average 3 versions of the same runtime)

>>4944 >Flatpack bloat Yes. So dnf is the way. I am not happy with flatpak. Bot to mention that its Name is different in terminal. So need to make New alias for every APP.

>>4944 Eh. This is why I keep coming back to purely terminal based setups. I guess, like every old fag, I will be going back to Debian. Current machine is not good for Debian, but for desktop, YEP.

>>4977 >Current machine is not good for Debian use debian testing ? >>4967 It's not that I hate snaps or flatpaks, something within me just breaks when there are more than one package managers on my system, I had to switch to the immutable meme (Silverblue), so I can have ONE universal package format and ONE CLI interface to learn

>>4984 >>4984 Not touching my main machine. It is running some tasks which will take sometime. Until then, no modifications. But in general, I hate the performance of Flatpaks and prefer dnf to use my packages. That it works in command line with the normal package name is a huge added bonus for me, since then I don't need my hands to leave the keyboard. Will probably install debian or some variant thereof on a future desktop. Snaps are still too slow. I like the idea, I love the interface. But it is way too slow. Though more stable than flatpaks for me.
