User-respecting websites Anonymous 07/01/2020 (Wed) 14:17:12 No. 546 [Reply] [Last]
Are there any notable websites left that would respect the user's right even to some degree? My criteria are quite simple: 1. The website must not require javascript to work properly. It's fine to have extra functionality that requires javascript, but the main purpose of the site should be implemented without requiring javascript. 2. The website must allow Tor users and other proxy users. 3. The website must not require the user to give his name, address, phone number or any other identifying detail. In other words, the website must allow pseudo-anonymity. I can think of very few such websites: 1. cock.li allows you to create e-mail addresses, although the webmail doesn't work, but you can use your own e-mail client instead. 2. Some smaller imageboards work. 3. Search engines like duckduckgo and sometimes Startpage work. Although Startpage has been more frustrating lately. A lot of forums require registration, which is not new, but nowadays they require the user to pass google recaptcha v3, which does not work at all without javascript, and even with javascript it often just gives a never-ending list of traffic lights. invidio.us works without javascript, but the comment section doesn't really work, and you obviously cannot upload videos that way. Bitchute allows you to watch videos if you already have the channel URL and do some RMB+Q magic, but the main page is practically unusable without javascript, and registration requires recaptcha v3. None of the social media sites fit the criteria, obviously.

Hi , I’d like to thank you for this your article on online anonymity here: https://redchannit.net/t/res/546.html News of increasing cyber-attacks, identity theft, lack of privacy and online security got me doing some research on whether or not it is possible to be 100% anonymous online. I’d like to share with you this very in depth and non-technical article / guide I came across that does a great job of explaining the differences between anonymity and privacy as well as provide very useful insight on ways to protect your privacy online as well as remain anonymous. You can find the article here: https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/can-anyone-be-truly-anonymous-online/ I hope you will find value in sharing it with your readers. Best, Shelly

Alternatives to ffserver (streaming/broadcasting server in general) Anonymous 05/07/2021 (Fri) 08:42:02 No. 3983 [Reply]
ffserver lost support in 2018 and I want a streaming server solution. mkvserver_mk2 is recommended here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/ffserver, but it doesn't seem like it's updated frequently (I don't want meaningless updates, but general maintenance, there's issues that have been open for years that haven't been fixed) and doesn't seem like there's a lot of eyes on the code and I don't know how secure it is. There's https://github.com/ossrs/srs, but chinese who live in china maintain it. I would use this since it seems to have a lot of eyes on it and regular maintenance, but I don't know what kind of botnet PRC has implanted into the code base. The nginx-rtmp-module looks good, but the legal situation of nginx seems precarious to build something on: https://www.crn.com/news/cloud/firm-sues-f5-networks-claims-rights-to-nginx-tech-developed-by-its-employees openrtsp - eh. They don't have a repository and requires manually checking for new tarballs to extract and then compile against. Interesting though. I know you can do h264 streaming with apache, but I want more codecs that aren't over encumbered by patents depending on the way the wind blows. I'm struggling to find good open source alternatives that don't have aforementioned issues. pic is unreleated
I actually have no fucking clue. Seems this topic is heavily under appreciated as funnily enough this thread with no traffic is the top result for "alternative to ffserver" Guess no one really cares.
>>3998 That's because the average person doesn't have a streaming/broadcasting server, and if they do, they usually use OBS for it (which is actually a fine program to use, but they apparently signed the OSI's anti-Stallman letter, so as far as I'm concerned, it goes into the trash anyway). To the average streamer, there's no need for anything else but SL/OBS or Xsplit, and Restreamio if they want Twitch and YouTube money.

what do you think about Prometeus/Ignite? Anonymous 05/03/2021 (Mon) 09:09:02 No. 3879 [Reply]
i got banned on 4chan for making a thread about this, the jannies must have thought i was paid shill or something. i dont want to post their website link cause i dont want to get banned. but this is exactly why in interested in this service. "Our mission is to return control over data back to its owners and grant freedom of expression to everyone." "To make Ignite censorship resistant, all data is stored indefinitely at BTFS/Bittorrent and can not be deleted by us." too good to be true? seems very unknown
Isn't this place run by those Phillipine Qanon schizos Jim and Fred Watkin or whatever their names are? Don't think they'll delete something like this. Here is your url: https://prometeus.io/ Them misspelling Prometheus pisses me off. >Our mission is to return control over data back to its owners this conflicts a bit with >Data Owner is the person or the company that has got some valuable data that he/she is trying to sell, monetize or share on the terms it thinks is right. This is already the case. Companies spy on you and then sell your data. Their mission is apparently to let them sell this? What then do they mean with returning control? >To make Ignite censorship resistant, all data is stored indefinitely at BTFS/Bittorrent and can not be deleted by us but >in order to fight with illicit activities we have sensitive content AI filers [sic], which will warn you about the illicit content. If they can filter what you see to show you warnings, what prevents them from hiding things from your view? You don't need to delete something to censor it, you can just hide it.

Grsecurity can do as it pleases with your code. Anonymous 04/27/2021 (Tue) 23:09:30 No. 3780 [Reply]
Look, when Grsecurity decides to add additional terms between it and it's customers: that's a business decision, protected by American Business Law. Your copyright bullshit doesn't override that. Sure, if Grsecurity was operating as a charity it might have to abide by the linux kernel license and not add additional terms when distributing it's changes to the linux kernel and the compiler. But it's not. It's operating as a Business. It can add any additional terms it wants when distributing for pay to it's Customers. This is a Fundamental american freedom as confirmed by the Supreme Court. Additionally Grsecurity did it's due dilligence by having an attorney from the Patent Bar look over it's business plan and the Patent Bar attorney found no copyright problems: American Business law gives an absolute right to conduct Business with whatever customers one wants to; and to cut off any customers one wants to at anytime: INCLUDING as a forewarned penalty if an act of redistribution to non-customers occurs. It doesn't matter what linus' copyright rights are to his work, nor what his license supposidly allows. American Business Law allows Grsecurity to add whatever additional terms it wants to when working with IT'S CUSTOMERS. It has chosen to add: No redistribution, Forum is Penn. State, Law is Penn. Law, No liability if penalty for illicit redistribution is enacted. Grsecurity has the RIGHT to protect it's PROPERTY: which are the changes it has chosen to make to the Linux Kernel and the GCC compiler. It does NOT matter what linus thinks his copyright means. It doesn't mean anything. Which is WHY linus hasn't spoken up: He knows he has no legs to stand on: his copyright isn't worth trash. Same with RMS and the Free Software Foundation and their GCC compiler: Their copyright isn't worth trash. All Programmers Agree: Patches are not subject to the original copyright holders copyright. Patent Bar lawyers agree as well.

They're attacking you for two reasons: 1) To save money: To prevent another multi-million dollar settlement (FSF vs Cisco). With you gone it wont happen. They also don't want to have to "pay off" the FSF by contributing donations either (which would increase your ability to hire lawyers and sue violators (even when the outcome of the action is difficult to predict (thus no contingency))). 2) Cultural reasons: the rest of the "they" believe that you like young girls: In your heart. And they oppose any man liking girls. That is: they believe you have thoughts and they oppose any man having such thoughts. Men are mules that must work for, fight, and give their life for women, their country, etc. Not live for themselves. Not have happiness. Only toil and responsibility. You noted once that your life has been incredibly sad. Being denied the purest love would fit the bill. They hate you for what they think you believe in your mind. What they believe that they have deduced from your previous wrightings. They hate you for your thoughts they ascribe to you. For having those thoughts. For being capable of having those thoughts. We've been defending you in the various programmer and anime forums, including your previous statements. For years, and now aswell. The namecalling is going every which way and both sides hate eachother: On one side there are the old hackers, the men, and the anime-lovers, the NEETs. The beloved language is C. On the other side are the wage-workers, and the Rust programming language (C++ ... plus plus... basically: and it takes just as much memory to compile as C++ code). The fight is as hot as molten lead: and there is real true hatread.

All AMD Processors Since Phenom II Have BadBIOS Circuitry That Leaks to the Military Anonymous 03/28/2021 (Sun) 18:09:05 No. 3215 [Reply]
Title gives my conclusion from empirical events I witnessed and inside info. PSP runs on the same circuit, but isn't the backdoor per se, which has been around for much longer. The same way AMD was able to change the crypto algorithms for the Zen chip they licensed to China, they can change how the CPU behaves at any system, even those already deployed. This can also be used to sabotage any program or computation, making BadBIOS vastly nastier than Stuxnet. American military made a grave mistake to partner with the morons of the Brazilian military, who are letting knowledge of this spread like a fire (and misusing it for petty profit and inside jobs to justify a police state). Israel, UK and France also have access, but are much more professional.

Let's see if there is a fix. 2. If there is a fix will it come at the cost of performance.

Archiving Discussion Anonymous 12/06/2020 (Sun) 20:54:36 No. 1940 [Reply]
Over the past couple of years I've been using my own technique to put together my own "locally stored google" of sorts. It's nothing complicated, I use the legacy add-on Session Exporter to export my tab history to an html file, and Ctrl+F them anytime I need to find something. I do this periodically while keeping Pale Moon set to remember tabs from the last session, and using FEBE to hold onto any profile underarchived while I start fresh to save memory. Lately I've been trying to use this technique to keep track of all the election related shit from thedonald.win, and I am finding it difficult to keep pace with this method alone. Between the sheer volume of links and media files, and the slowness of archive.is which forces a Jewgle capthca if you try to archive too many links at once, I am left looking for a technical solution that can address my needs. So, let's have a thread about archiving in general. Share your techniques and helpful advice.

Hello anons, I've been looking for a good ereader to replace my 3rd gen kindle and it'd be good to have a thread to discuss them in general. I've considered devices that are supported by Openinkpot, although they're limited to about 3 devices. Anyone have experience with open ink pot devices?

>>2689 They are comfy devices, but my biggest issue with nearly all of them is the locked and restricted firmware. The SoCs are light enough to not have much backdoors when compared to other chips, but the software does not allow for any GNU/Linux nor any custom Android ROM. Even then, ARM64 is still too new and niche for developing a proper E-Ink distro. Hardware is also its own issue, as there's little to no repairability for most of them except for any old Kindles and Kobos. Maybe projects like >>693 can help with this, and there's going to be an easier version that uses a Raspberry Pi Pico (although you still need to solder). I do hope there is a free OS for E-Ink tablets, even if it won't support my ereader.
Buy one of those goose neck things that can hold you e-reader in place. Super convenient not having to hold that shit while reading. Likebook Mars masterrace reporting in. 7.8 inches, it's just a tablet you can sideload apps on, and lets you insert an SD card for more storage. It's like $220 I think. Definitely going to upgrade to a large e-reader that's at least 10 inches in the future once I get a job so I can read my chinese hentai comic books without ever having to zoom in.

Budget storage with tapes in 2020 Anonymous 12/18/2020 (Fri) 20:38:35 No. 2034 [Reply]
I've got a lot of stuff I want to have archived on mediums that will last a long time just sitting around. I'm currently looking at LTO tapes, likely LTO-5 so I can use LTFS on Linux. I'm sort of skimming around ebay to find a cheap drive. Has anyone here ever used tapes and know what would be accessible for a relatively decent desktop? I'm mostly looking for externals as I don't think my case has support for front facing drives, but I do see some trays where a CD drive would be on an older device. For context, this is primarily for a small business's software dev, raw assets, and records down the line. Along side, I'll set some tapes aside for animu and vidya personally, and it's mostly permanence of tapes and the low cost per GB as time goes on. I don't want to spend on software and am hoping that I can get a drive in the 200-300$ range that supports the things I mentioned. Anyone have some insight? Also general tape/data hoarding thread I suppose.

>>2202 >>2203 Got a box and barely used DDS4 tapes, should I get a drive or just toss them?
>>2432 Depends on how much money you have to spend and if you need cold storage. If you've got some folders you want a backup of, especially if you want to offsite it, then it's hard to go wrong with tape.
>>2432 If you don't mind getting friendly with mt and tar and have a way of keeping track of the data,(printout of tree or [code]ls -lh[code] would work) you should be gold. 5.25 internal drives seem to be dirt cheap, along with the HBA's. You would be dealing with an older, more confusing era of SCSI cabling, but there are Ultra320 pcie HBA's out there that would work on a modern machine.
