>>9956 I think the more salient question is why anybody would promote rust. I'm vaguely aware of it, but I just sort of loosely throw it in with MongoDB or Go as some sort of flavor of the month web bullshit that most likely will just cause me more long-term maintenance issues for some fag who went all in on the flavor of the week and then skipped town to some other bullshit job where he just churns out more crap for the next three months. I believe that if it were important then there'd be a reason to care.

No shared libraries. Everything is vendered though cargo and then linked to libc; there isn't a ordained way to take a crate and turn it into a SO for deployment in an easy way. There are a lot of good things, but the fact that any useful crate is just a binding to C and C++ is a deal breaker to me; I'll just use the native version and use C or C++ for the project instead of the binding.

Ok it's time to get a password manager. It has to be open source, free and without any cloud crap because I trust nobody. Which PM do you anons use? Which KeepAss is better? There's the OG, X and XC now. Is there any way to extend my PM to android manually without any company getting their hands on my database? Let's discuss.

I don't even know what the fuck a password manager is. Aren't they supposed to be secret? I just tie them down to whatever thoughts I associate with the account and once in a while make a note that I accidentally used the wrong thought or transposed the numbers or whatever. One of my old bosses used an encrypted like fucking word document or whatever his shit was because he was too boomer to remember all his passwords and was advised by the IT staff that the document encryption was more powerful than all his passwords so he might as well put them all in one place. (But why even have different passwords at that point lol). This laptop happens to be locked not just by a particular japanese movie that represents my state of mind while buying it, but also altered based on the buttons that don't work until it's booted up and I can remap the keyboard. Good luck with that h40rz :^)

What's your opinion on the concept of these newfangled package managers having sandboxing, enabling backwards compatibility and having a one-build-fits-all-distros mentality? Is it bloat, or the right way to go about solving such problems? Personally, I use Flatpak to handle games, so my system doesn't actually have any 32 bit libraries installed by my distro's package manager, anything 32 bit's managed entirely by Flatpak, separate from everything else. As well as isolating propietary software, since most games are, and Steam too. Since I don't use programs with Qt 5 much, I've decided to get rid of the ones I've installed natively and installed the ones I do need on Flatpak, that way I can get rid of Qt 5 as well.

if you have a modern laptop then you already have an rfid/nfc chip in the corner somewhere you just have to get the libnfc6 library which comes with examples arduino i dont know, install the arduino ide on a computer and find an arduino nfc library, without a library you have to look up the hardware docs of the chip you have and manually code it

Install some stuff on your laptop and you're good to go if you can figure it out. That said, if you want to do the soldering and tinkering with the stuff you have (you do have a soldering iron to attach the pin headers to the red nfc-module, right?) then the idea with your kit is probably: >install arduino ide >put the program required onto the arduino >solder pins to red board >hook up red board to the required arduino pins on the bread board with the jumper cables you have >??? >fuck, doesn't work >??? >??!

Lithium Ion Batteries Anonymous 11/27/2021 (Sat) 19:48:57 No. 6405 [Reply]

I fucking have lithium ion batteries so fucking much. Every god damn device on the fucking planet now has some stupid fucking soldered in lithium ion battery instead of just letting me slot in my own batteries. So now whenever I buy something as stupid as fucking small electric screwdriver I have to account for the fact that when I leave it on the shelf for a couple years and pick the thing up the cheap chink shit battery inside it will have killed itself and made the thing fucking useless. I can't even count the number of times I've picked up an electronic device with one of these useless fucking things inside them only to discover it died and is now a fucking paperweight unless I go onto ebay and comb through a bunch of shitty batteries to find the bizarre form factor they used in that specific device only to have to fucking rip the entire thing down and solder in an entirely new battery to use a basic fucking electronic. Why the fuck can't retards just let me use replaceable standardize batteries in devices. I DON'T WANT TO RECHARGE MY SHIT WITH A USB CABLE JUST LET ME PUT BATTERIES INTO THE FUCKING DEVICES.

Left doesn't look very usable, good luck doing your inputs on that keyboard, I'd much rather have a "chunky smartphone" that I can hook up a keyboard to and maybe some kind of chorded interface/case for mobile use And maybe a touchscreen too, but now it's almost just a smatphone (albeit being properly built and servicable and open and also just running "mainline linux" instead of the fetid dumpster fire that is android would make a huge difference already, even if it's just a differently constrained smartphone.

Almost every normalfaggot internet service requiring working, hard to change, much more personally identifiable than plain IP address, phone number to register. And to periodically provide as "random checks" to keep working and not lock you out of your data without prior warning is normal and widely accepted business practice in Muttland as of 2020's. Requiring ID card or SSN to register for such services would be literal commiefascism and would never fly in Muttland, normalfags in revolt. How did it get this absurdly cucked in Land of the Free.

Fuck phone numbers. There was a time about 20 years ago when people thought it would not be needed in a few years, after evertything went online. It was a sign of early adopter to not have boomercell any more. Now it has become a pseudo-ID card to tie your real identity to your normalfag online activities, and de facto requirement that sure as fuck isn't going anywhere. At least I still live in a region where anonymous prepaid is still allowed, for now (outside US). Do americans have anonymous prepaids / burner phones any more? It's a tiny proportion of countries that allow it by now. Vast majority requires you to present real life ID to activate a prepaid subscription.

It's just another layer to get through for an average jack in a world where most likely nobody would care enough. I guess I accidentally used it as a wifi hotspot for porn once, so they'll find out what kind of shameful stuff I wanked to once if they dig out all the DNS logs or whatever.

Advanced Untraceable Hidden Camera System Anonymous 05/14/2022 (Sat) 19:29:00 No. 8443 [Reply]

If you were to build a hidden camera system, how would you go about it? I want to build such a system but don't have the skills to put it all together. I do have a few specs in mind and would enjoy your input on how to make it a reality. In terms of applications of such a device... Think the worst case scenario's with the highest level of deniability and near impossible traceability. Even if the device were discovered, stored files would be inaccessible, upstream intermediaries and hosts would be impossible to access. This device can be used as a trail cam, nanny cam, or secondary security cam. This can also be used for spying, like a corporate espionage cam, bathroom/dorm room cam, hotel/airbnb cam, etc. The use, whether for good or evil, is left to the user. The main point is that if properly constructed and properly installed, it would be extremely difficult to detect and likewise to determine who installed it and where it uploaded to. * Camera separate from main system to allow for flexibility in mounting * Camera should be 'pinhole' type to avoid detection (0.5 mm or smaller) * Camera should provide crisp image (highest quality possible given size limitations) * Control unit OS should be open source * Control unit file system must be sufficient to temporarily store recorded media until transferred and verified * Control unit file system should be encrypted * Image and video files should be individually encrypted on device * Media is stored only until transferred and transfer verified * Media is transferred off to secured site, preferably a file drop site over Tor or I2P (the latter preferred, due to file volumes)

Reading your post and I had come up with something similar a few years back. Adding my notes below but I dont have the skills to put it together. Kind of wish there was a commercially available system with the same security measures. There is a huge demand for devices like this in some places. I dont condone it but in South Korea these are very often used in womens bathrooms (so much so that in Seoul, there are teams that check the bathrooms daily). This would also be good for deployment as a trail cam or security cam. In any role I can see a benefit in separating the device from the owner. If found even a thorough forensic analysis should not provide any useful information that would aid in identifying whomever placed it. Hardware: - Raspberry Pi or Arduino - Camera module - Cellular data module - IR motion sensor (or software based?) - Tamper-resistant self-destruct module (simple, voltage/current driven, massive power surge) - Power source and backup battery - Enclosure Software: - Base OS

Use electron beam physics to make your own 3D Metal Printer. Support this open source project Anonymous 04/05/2022 (Tue) 19:58:55 No. 8038 [Reply]

Hello! My name is Agustin Cruz. I'm making a 3D Metal Printer for making parts with titanium and other metals. Is a low cost, Open source project, so everyone can make their own 3D Metal Printer. This project have an extreme affinity in philosophy with Monero and would not be possible without your help. Making 3D printers affordable can help decentralize production of various mass produced items. The goal is to make 3D Metal Printing more affordable to the general public, hospitals, small institutions, organizations and companies around the world. Specifically for developing and low income countries. This project fills a gap that no open hardware successfully fills. 3D Metal Printing is an impactful tool. Making it more accessible will democratize science, engineering and empower people. This low-cost hardware will be able to accelerate innovations in and lower barriers to scientific research. This printer uses an electron beam to selectively melt each layer of metal powder, causing the powder particles to fuse together. After one layer is complete, the build platform is moved down one layer in height. The re-coater comes in again with a fresh layer of powder, and the electron beam starts to induce the fusion of powder particles, causing the new layer to form. This process is repeated until the entire part is finished, making a solid metal part. This is what I do fulltime. Doing all this takes a lot of time and effort. Now the project is opening to the community inside a crowdfunding model. The design, tests, updates, will be shared so I can receive some support and continue working 100% in this project I made a Patreon, if you want to support my work: https://www.patreon.com/3dmetalprinter I also created a Bitcoin and Monero address. They are also in the Patreon site.

The "hardware antivirus" Anonymous 08/07/2022 (Sun) 09:22:42 No. 9159 [Reply]

Antivirus and cyber security systems used for computers are software-based. Today, cyber espionage can be done not only with codes and programs, but also on hardware. It is possible to spy directly on the hardware, bypassing the operating system and antivirus by loading harmful codes into the firmware on the chips of the hardware. While it is possible to clean the malicious rootkits infecting the UEFI / BIOS firmware and Harddisk firmware of the computer by reinstalling the original firmware of the hardware manufacturer, the firmware of the chips in the other hardware of the computer (keyboard, mouse, mouse, usb controller, camera, microphone, video card, PCI slots and other hardware) It is not possible for ordinary people to detect and clean rootkits infected with the rootkit. For this reason, a special operating system or special system software is required to detect rootkits that infect the firmware of chips in other hardware. This system and operating system can detect by examining the signals given by other hardware to the system and by examining the operation of the firmware on the hardware chip, if possible, by examining its digital signature. You can claim that the Sniffer and Monitor programs on the market can do this function. But these programs can examine as much as the operating system they are running gives them. Therefore, a different system or operating system is required in this regard. Apart from this, "hardware antivirus" can be developed as an alternative to software antivirus and software cyber security systems. Security software is usually installed on the operating system, the operating system kernel and, if necessary, the motherboard bios/uefi section. Alternatively, a "hardware antivirus" with a different motherboard and processor can be placed inside the existing computer case, regardless of the computer used. The difference of this "hardware antivirus" from IDS, IPS and External Firewalls is that it can directly connect to the computer's memory, hard disk and network paths with a physical cable or implant, and physically control the computer system, ensuring the security of the computer regardless of the current operating system and motherboard. This "hardware antivirus" can physically monitor the computer's input and output ports, stopping hard-to-detect BadUSB and NSA ANT tool attacks.
