>>3111 Old news I guess but I just came across Debian's stance regarding this. They had a vote on April with 8 options >Choice 1: Call for the FSF board removal, as in rms-open-letter.github.io >Choice 2: Call for Stallman's resignation from all FSF bodies >Choice 3: Discourage collaboration with the FSF while Stallman is in a leading position >Choice 4: Call on the FSF to further its governance processes >Choice 5: Support Stallman's reinstatement, as in rms-support-letter.github.io >Choice 6: Denounce the witch-hunt against RMS and the FSF >Choice 7: Debian will not issue a public statement on this issue >Choice 8: Further Discussion 4 commie options, 2 non subversive options 2 neutral options. The system they use to select the winner seems rather complicated and I don't have the time to go through it but the non subversive options appear to have been eliminated due to not even receiving enough votes to be considered and ultimately option 7 ended up winning. https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_002

Okay retards, what's the best school for computer science? How is the school you went to better than all the others? And what is the objectively best, top-of-the-line "even if I didn't personally make it in" school in your opinion? Or is your knowledge of computers entirely self-study? What was your course of study? And why did you choose that path? And finally, is there anything you wish you would've done differently while studying computer science?

If your REALLY want the theoretical foundation, find any of the free online curriculum like https://github.com/ossu/computer-science or https://fullstackopen.com/en/ (much more practical for making projects) and go to town. What is going to get you the job are your projects on your resume, they show you can get things done. Target start ups for your first job since they won't care so much about your degree, but what you can do. Stay for a year or two and apply somewhere else if you so choose. After the first year, experience counts more.

Looking for a Thinkpad, primarily for ease of travel so it needs to be as thin+lightweight as possibl. Will run Linux. Minimum 8GB RAM, if I can install 16GB great. Internet Browsing, 1080p video playback, and i want to play some 3D games if possible like TF2 but not serious stuff unless the laptop can do TB3 eGPU. X240 + IPS is good choice?

>>10 I managed to find my old IBM T42. It powers on, but I only get a black screen from both the monitor, and the VGA output. The battery is dead, but the power cable works fine. Does it need a working battery to show a display? I could have sworn I've unplugged it before without issues. Before I spend money on replacement parts, what should I try troubleshooting? (I'd prefer not to spend too much in case there's more wrong with it than I realize. I just want to use it as a cheap 90s/XP-era gaming machine because it's available.)

Is there anything modern even close to what an old IBM Thinkpad was in terms of durability? Or is everything just cheap chinkshit nowadays? I got one years back used as a gift, but eventually I had to upgrade to something newer for work. I didn't realize how great it was until every laptop I've had since die on me within a couple years. I formatted it with some flavor of Ubuntu and gave it to my grandma at least, so it didn't go to complete waste, but I still wish I could have used it longer. I tried a Lenovo Thinkpad once, but it didn't feel the same.

Richard Matthew Stallman Anonymous 05/08/2021 (Sat) 14:23:46 No. 4011 [Reply]

Richard Stallman taught us that: 1. In America "you can get arrested without a reason." 2. Russian spy "Edward Snowden is a Great Hero." 3. HAMAS terrorists are the good guys, while Israel is a fascist state. 4. "The US military" are the "violent white supremacists." "The US owes reparations to Iraq for the damage it has done." 5. "The US military is poisoning [low-income] communities across the US with toxic chemicals." 6. It is wrong that "the US government has persecuted Julian Assange for a decade for Wikileaks' journalism." 7. "Publishing of leaked secret [American] information" is journalism, and not espionage or sabotage. 8. Terrorist Iranian dictatorship, trying to make a nuclear bomb, are the good guys, and America should ally with it. 9. "US today — plutocracy, extractivism and dooH niboR." 10. "US government doesn't try to operate fair taxation." 11. American "democracy is a sham." 12. "We must defeat [American] plutocracy." 13 "War is not the way to deal with" the totalitarian regimes. 14. Pre-teen children can "appear entirely willing." 15. Writing software unpaid makes you "free as in freedom." 16. There is nothing wrong with the Red Star GNU/Linux being used in North Korea as the totalitarian surveillance tool tracking any non approved communication. GNU GPL completely approves such use, because it gives their government users "freedom."

Do you have a good method of organizing files and programs on your computer? Is there an efficient way to do it, or is it all just up to personal preference? I feel like I've got far too many random images saved over the years to feasibly go through and put in this folder or that, and I've also got literal thousands of bookmarks that are just getting in the way of me efficiently doing things. Would it be better just to can them all and start fresh? How would I keep things organized from that point on?

Yeah, not sure what I was asking with that. Generally I try to keep programs installed normally (Program Files) but some things (art programs, games, more niche utilities) are saved separately from that. Do you organize programs in any way or is that pointless, and better to just have them all in the same folder? >Copy the bookmarks you're not visiting to a text file and delete them from browser or whatever you're using I have actually done this before, they just keep piling up because I'm a neurotic retard. >Don't download / bookmark random garbage ~~But I NEED to!~~ Yeah that's obviously the main issue but then the question becomes what's worth downloading/keeping saved and what's not. That'll just take some introspection and careful thought. My questions are really more just what are good digital organization habits, and how can you organize things more easily?

Talking from the future here, but LXDE didn't get removed. That said, being unmaintained upstream isn't just about getting new features, it's about getting support when code eventually rots and becomes unable to compile/function properly on modern systems. LXDE currently requires very few patches, but I'm sure if a bug or two appear that aren't trivial to solve, they'll consider it for removal again. You're usually free to contribute to keeping it alive, if you can fix the issues. Same shit happened with opentmpfiles, as the latest version had significant bugs and had to be masked, nobody stepped up for over a year to either fix those or release a new upstream version, so they decided it wasn't worth keeping around.

The future of imageboards: Over 9000 server proxies? Anonymous 08/18/2020 (Tue) 08:16:19 No. 1089 [Reply]

Of the new imageboards that launched recently two of them have something in common: Proxies. The new Zchan launched its server normally and proxies their site through a separate sever. This site has a "back door" to its tor hidden service that runs from a proxy on the clearnet. Much like anons using a proxy to evade a ban from a site, entire sites are now using proxies to avoid being banned from the Internet. The effectiveness of this is apparent at a glance. The servers for the main sites have no public IP to know and a much smaller attack surface, and if a proxy gets shut down another one can be spun up faster than relocating a whole server and all of its data. 8chan goes even further by allowing its server to hide on the onion network in case of a major attack or outage. Deplatforming a proxy that doesn't host content is naturally going to be a bit harder than deplatforming a site that does. My question is, is this going to become the status quo for "controversial" sites going into the future? Even a year ago I would have said this was extreme, but the sheer hostility against non-politically correct sites on the Internet, and the willingness of service providers to cave to an angry mob on the basis of emotion has exceeded my worst fever dreams. This is not how the Internet of my youth was supposed to be.
