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.

I just got an L3. I have a pair of S1's but this is a totally different animal. Are these good temps for this thing? (I only have 3 of the 4 boards powered right now because I only have a 750 watt power supply for right now) Also, this thing is damn loud. Do those cheap cooling shrouds actually help with noise, and if so do they reducing cooling capacity at all? What about swapping out the fans for something else?

Replace cuckold relationships (deliberate NLP with "girlfriend" for someone who is not, in fact, your girlfriend) with any non-commodifiable service e.g. music. Replace NFT degenerate blockchain signature-orgies with a single signature (i.e. an autograph) of the person that actually matters, the musician. You now have a basis for a long-term relationship (platonic) with a content creator, solidified by a bonding ritual/tradition. You thus enable investment capitalism and shun transaction capitalism.

Pajeets are probably the worst choice anyone could pick to run a large company - even a tranny nigger midget would probably be less damaging. Like all manlet pajeets in a position of power, Nadella is a megalomaniac who always wanted to turn Windows into "his" OS and Microsoft into "his" company. Like every pajeet, he is extremely stubborn and will never, ever admit to having made a mistake. If pajeets are in a sinking ship, they'd rather sink and drown with the ship, in case abandoning the ship would carry the implication that they've made a mistake. That's why they always stick with any bad decisions made regarding Windows 10's design even if there's backlash and no one likes it. Saying all of this from experience by the way. I have worked with and interacted daily with pajeets in an IT company that hired a few of them because they fell for the "indians are smart and good with tech" meme. >half of his bad ideas have failed already, leaving a long trail of tech debt detritus to clean up Well he's a street shitter, of course he leaves a trail of shit wherever he goes.

What should I do with these computers? Anonymous 06/30/2021 (Wed) 01:27:09 No. 4661 [Reply]

I have a few computers lying around my house that I don't use anymore or inherited and I'm trying to find what to do with them. To answer the question of why I don't use them, it's because I already have a laptop, tablet, and desktop that already suit my basic needs. So, what should I do with these aside from tossing them (Which I think is a waste)? Here are the models I have: >Kaypro 10 >Dell Latitude CPi A-Series >HP Pavillion G7 1355dx >HP Pavillion 500-424

Or throw it in the trash. >HP Pavilion desktop and laptop These machines still have pretty decent specs for basic use, and can run Windows 10 or current Ubuntu / Mint just fine. You could turn one of them into a HTPC or living room web browsing machine. You can try selling them for about 100 bucks each, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. If not, donate them (i.e. to a school or some poorfag who is in need of a working PC).

>>4509 PSP is a motherboard module, some asrock models including mine can disable it, but you'll have to trust experts that it really is disabled. As for getting a computer without even support for it, arm64 or risc-v computers might be more promising, just remember only 5% of the risc-v instruction set on consumer chips are actually free and open source, vendors stack their proprietary implementations for things like video codecs and networking instructions. So arm64 is more practical at the moment due to larger software support.

All AMD Processors Since Phenom II Have BadBIOS Circuitry That Leaks to the Military Anonymous 06/10/2021 (Thu) 11:34:40 No. 4426 [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. Just like 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 be used to sabotage any program or computation, making BadBIOS (uses radio, not sound) vastly nastier than StuxNet. American military made a grave mistake by giving access to 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.
