>>18706 Couldn't say for certain, but I'd recommend whenever you even think you might have been compromised in some way to just do a fresh install of your operating system and change your passwords. Even if you aren't hacked or compromised, it's better to be safe than sorry. I'd guess what they were really doing is just using your network as a node for their residential IP VPN that they use to spam sites. But even that in itself is extremely sketchy and opens you up to attacks. When in doubt, fresh install and cycle in some new passwords for your main accounts. It's a practice anyone should be comfortable with doing every once in awhile.

General thread for discussing Codes of Conduct and other attempts to take over technology with political aims and enforce behavioral constraints. Point out languages and products that try to force politics on their users. It's become commonplace for tech startups to virtue signal, and for large open source projects to attract users who contribute little in terms of code but demand favorable treatment. Additionally, some have started including political messages in the software itself, or naming releases after issues the developer cares about. Some argue that such constraints and impositions violate the spirit of free software by requiring an agreeable political alignment between developer and user.

That's fine, they can have their silly rules in their own projects, instead CoCs were pushed by activists that didn't even contribute to those projects, it was simply a power play and you have no idea how much I hate their type for doing this. It was intended to push out the original internet nerds out of their lairs. Fuck them for this. > Why would you want to work with someone who hates your guts? I have and will work with people that hate me, I don't give a fuck, I could hate them back just as well, but my opinion of them is irrelevant as well, and so is their opinion of me. I work with someone because we have shared goals, such as achieving something in particular, like improving or making a piece of software. Engineering work isn't about making a community where you can circlejerk or talk about your feelings, it's about getting work done - you cooperate with others to achieve something faster than you would have done yourself, or that would be impossible to do purely as an individual. You aren't doing it for the money, you are doing it because you care about one single fucking thing - the software (or whatever other project) itself. Software development is an ends to some means if you're serious about it, not some grand quest. I don't have to give 0 fucks about the personal doings of my collaborators, except in cases where if they disappeared something bad would happen to the project (for example they were crucial to it), what they do, or believe or act outside of that is none of my business and they better not make it either! Mostly though, I've seen enough people that realize the danger of CoC's and often don't include it, or when they do, include even a joke one just to fuck with those that would push such things. Mostly corporate or large projects managed by some non-profits often end up having CoCs pushed on everyone for the usual corporate reasons though.

If you were making a Lisp for serious use, what would you include? How would the base language be styled? Would you follow along with existing Lisps? Are there any nit-picks you have with the style of existing Lisps? Scheme uses a minimal but sufficient language as its base. Common Lisp does the opposite, and includes a fairly complete standard library. Clojure has a very particular standard library, advertises its sophisticated implementations of immutable data structures as its primary draw, but also includes many macros to yield its particular style. While I've always liked the Scheme approach, I often see Clojure devs boasting about how beautiful their language is. I feel I'm missing something there, since it's never looked as appealing to me. I'm looking to bike-shed a language I've been working on and particularly its macros sometime in the near future, and I wanted some general thoughts.

>>17771 Not sure if I should ask here or the consumer advice thread. I've been torn about getting a new smartphone. My current one is a Xiaomi A2 I bought 7 or so years ago, it's serviceable, but it's showing signs of an imminent demise. I've wanted to get a higher end phone with a good camera so I could record myself painting minis and building yugioh decks. From a software perspective, can't be Chinese (apps cant be uninstalled, hyper OS has ads...) as I'll be scanning all my medical documents onto it as PDFs for easy sharing with doctors that always bother me that I don't bring a binder full of paper to them. I also want to play master duel on it. I really wanted an S24 Ultra, but can't find one at a decent price, S25 Ultra feels pointless and due to insane VAT these phones are very pricey. Don't want to risk a Tensor/Exynos chip either. Considered the S25 or S25+ as well, but unsure if I even want to spend that much. The S25+ is 1 224€ or 1100€ with a cashback offer. Could get a used S24Ultra for 910€, but would prefer something new with more than a years warranty at these prices. Maybe I'm missing some other obvious choices, but as of now Samsung feels like my only Android option. The S25 non-plus I'm worried about the battery and heating. It's also around 900€ new for the 256GB version with a discount. Have considered an iphone, but I need my tachiyomi and the like. I initially considered an ipad A16, but I went to the store and it seemed pretty meh and small next to the air and also non-laminated screen was kinda bad. (Maybe that was just a vibes thing next to the Air.)

>WELCOME TO THE CHAT APP GENERAL! This is the place to discuss all things chat app related, discuss the likes of XMPP and other chat apps and protocols. Whether you're looking for recommendations, troubleshooting tips, or just want to share your favorite chat apps, you've come to the right place! >WHAT IS XMPP? XMPP is an open-source, decentralized messaging protocol that allows for real-time communication. It's great for privacy-conscious users and supports features like group chats, file transfers, and more. If you're new to XMPP, check out some popular clients like Gajim, Conversations or Dino. >WHAT IS MUMBLE? Mumble is an open-source, low-latency voice chat app. It features high-quality audio, positional audio, and is designed for real-time communication. Mumble operates on a client-server model, where users connect to a server to communicate with each other. It also supports text chat and has a simple, user-friendly interface. >GETTING STARTED >Servers: Prosody (XMPP) ejabberd (XMPP) Mumble (Mumble) >Clients: Gajim (XMPP, PC) Conversations (XMPP, Android)

I've been self-hosting ejabberd for a few years now, mostly as a private chat setup among a group of volunteers and friends. We all use the Conversations app on Android, and it's been super reliable for day-to-day stuff. But last summer, things got real. We had a series of wildfires tear through our area, and I volunteer with the local fire department. Cell service was spotty at best, and commercial messaging apps were choking with delays or outright failing. Thankfully, I had already set up a few meshnet nodes across the valley using Yggdrasil, and I’d routed our XMPP instance through them just as a kind of “just in case” experiment. Well… that experiment paid off. We were able to keep in touch across multiple teams, even deep in the forest where normal connectivity was a joke. Conversations handled everything smoothly—offline message queuing, fast reconnects, and the battery usage wasn’t bad either. Even file transfers and location pings worked when we needed them. Messages went through when nothing else did. The crazy part? We didn’t have to change anything. No new apps. No reconfiguring servers. Just a resilient protocol doing what it was built to do, over an ad-hoc network that would’ve made 90s sysadmins weep. If anyone's ever wondered if XMPP is “too old” or “not modern enough,” I can assure you—when things fall apart, it’s exactly what you want in your toolkit. Stay safe out there. —M

This is a thread for releases, bug reports, and other discussion for the hydrus network software. The hydrus network client is an application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf/webm collections. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. Users can choose to download and share tags through a Public Tag Repository that now has more than 2 billion tag mappings, and advanced users may set up their own repositories just for themselves and friends. Everything is free and privacy is the first concern. Releases are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and it is now easy to run the program straight from source. I am the hydrus developer. I am continually working on the software and try to put out a new release every Wednesday by 8pm EST. Past hydrus imageboard discussion, and these generals as they hit the post limit, are being archived at >>>/hydrus/ . Hydrus is a powerful and complicated program, and it is not for everyone.
