>Benn Jordan examines the security vulnerabilities and privacy concerns surrounding consumer-grade autonomous robot dogs. Through technical investigation and hands-on testing, the video explores how these machines are being integrated into public and private surveillance, while questioning the implications of their widespread deployment and potential for unauthorized remote access.

why is it so often the case that hyper autistic tech workers without basic social skills regularly assume the hyperspecialized knowledge that they dedicated their life to is "obvious" to everyone but literal braindead people when in fact there are very talented and smart people who not only don't know but don't care what they are talking about?

its not just tech workers and it's naught to do with autism, it's just self-centered behavior, assuming that your mind is all that exists in the entire world and everyone thinks the way you think and knows what you know and cares about what you care about. it just happens to be particularly prominent in tech workers because they tend to not get out much.

we know theory of mind doesn't have to be taught. children as young as 3 have it… yet it seems that adults often lose it

it's nothing to do with expertise or being an expert on something, and very often the kinds of people who act this way aren't even really experts on the subject they pretend to be experts on. it's just egocentrism reaching its ultimate conclusion, where a person can no longer see where their own mind ends and the world begins, they're so up their own asses that they think they are some kind of godlike entity who is above everyone else and therefore they don't find it embarrassing to bloviate at great length about some arcane trivia in front of confused unfamiliar audiences whom they view as lesser peons rather than equals. it's a side effect of being insulated from everyday material reality, being in your own little curated private world where you never have ego-deflating interactions with random people who are smarter than you and can really tear you apart and humiliate you directly to your face. introvert dorks who spend all their time on the internet often become this way due to being alienated from reality by their social ineptitude, and extremely famous celebrities such as kanye west tend to get this way due being so famous and wealthy that they never really have normal social interactions anymore and they are just surrounded by bootlickers who worship them 24/7 and nobody ever dares criticize them in-person. people need to be roasted and humbled from time to time or else they get weird and crazy and forget how to just be a person and talk to other people.

Like leftcoms?



 

was looking into minimal self-hosted alternatives and found texttotalk.org. plaintext only, no images, no markdown, no js tracking. sign up doesn't ask for email, just a username and password (hashed, not stored plain, checked).
no algorithm either, board is just sorted newest/top, nothing ranked to keep you scrolling.
somebody called out the site's html for being div-heavy instead of semantic in a comment, and the dev actually fixed it instead of getting defensive. small thing but tells you something.
worth a look if you're tired of platforms that call themselves "free" while quietly profiling you.

Take a moment to find a website you didn't know about before, or ones you just think are neat, and share them here.

The thread from last year on /siberia/ didn't get archived, unfortunately, so posting here so it lasts longer.

I would share one but it wouldnt be cool anymore ;)

Assuming you can't use linux for one second. Which is better. MAC/Apple OS or PC, for a desktop computer?

You can still get celeron tier laptops for $100-200, plus they will often sell old thinkpads that aren't a meme second hand at even lower prices, plus i know a guy who will buy the PC parts from multiple sources and sell me a build without VAT. Burger treatlerites might no longer have access to the same cheap PC and part imports, but that doesn't matter as much, when those still have the superior economies of scale.

even if it's not linux, id still use a unix os over windows slop

>>33532
even those will get scalped as soon as some youtuber hypes them up as cheap alternatives

>>33532
Those 4GB N150 shitbooks are going to chug like crazy running windows lmao.

a mac isn't even a computer, it's just a really expensive desk lamp.

The only time I would Torrent is if I had a custom workstation consisting of a MilkV Jupiter wired to another MilkV Jupiter router board via cat6 cables to your default ISP router also. Run IP over DHCP for all connections, give the MilkV Jupiter router board a ath9k PCIe Atheros Wifi card, run a custom SOCKS5 proxy written in Python on both Jupiters, with X25519, Poly1305, ChaCha20 and Kyber for cryptographic post-quantum protection, with libsodium, PQClean and OpenSSL integration, a firewall (use firejail), pyshark, fail2ban, nftables with Suricata or Zeek (Bro) for LLM traffic scanning in pyshark. It should shut out any threats. After encrypting your traffic on your desktop MilkV Jupiter board w/ PCIe connection to a PCBway computer-class printed circuit board, w/ LiteX and Lattice ECP5 NAND + NOR controllers for memory instead of proprietary SD/eMMC/NVMe. Then wire a ECP5 HSM (Hardware Security Module) Module to hard brick the device in case it gets tampered with. Give it a Modos paper display, Keyboardio model 01 keyboard, 3D printed Ploopy mouse, use passive speakers (like Micca e.g., MB42X) w/ two more chips soldered to the PCBway printed circuit board for support (use a PCM1802 / PCM1808 (TI) ADC and a MAX98357A (Maxim) DAC). Then use a Microsoft Lifecam VX1000 / VX3000 or a Ligtech Quickcam 4000 / Quickcam Express 1999 web cam. Optionally, wire three more MilkV Mars SBCs to the Jupiter workstation board via PCIe inference, if possible via bifurcating or modifying the SBC board. Give each "accelerator" board a smaller PCBway corcuit board with the same modules for memory, ADC / DAC, and HSM. Likewise, use a MNT Reform laptop for programming boards via SiFive development boards. You can wipe amd program boards (like your MilkV Jupiter/Mars SBCs), to erase the proprietary DDR4 training controllers and replace with UberDDR3 via LiteDRAM. But that would require unsoldering and rewiring to a custom modified MilkV Jupiter/Mars board made from PCBway. Use ECP5 FPGAs for DDR3 controller. Now you have a fully libre board!

You can use the Mars SBCs for LLM LAN acceleration as a mini-cloud (like PyTorch or llama.cpp) using open wifi. Install Gentoo on the boards, harden the kernel, secure the bootchain, and when compiling it from source, refuse any proprietary packages and now run it over Sway. Gentoo runs smoothly on RISC-V (and so does Linux From Scratch, although that's a nightmare setting up, let alone maintaining). I would use kvm/qemu and a cuPost too long.

Connecting with netcat over tcp literally is telnet (what the client program does) though, unless you tunnel it. OP is obvsly larping.

why does everyone act like they never meet their friends and family and coworkers IRL anymore? what happened? you don't live in an urban core and go to cafe every day? lol wat. throw your car away and live life.

sorry but i don't listen to imperative sentences from random internet strangers. why don't you use netcat? why don't you go fuck your mother too while you're at it?

The capital of the privacy industry is not technological, but ideological. The privacy industry's most valuable asset lies not in technology, but in the blind trust of its users.They cannot prove that their products actually do what they claim to do. They can only make promises. And users are forced to believe in these promises.That is why some projects, like GrapheneOS, fight such an obsessive battle against 'misinformation'. Because trust is their foundation. They cannot prove that their product actually works.

>They cannot prove that their products actually do what they claim to do.
That's not true. Products that are open source, and if related to networking in any way, decentralized, are auditable. Linux, Monero and LibreWolf fall into this category.
But of course we must not blindly trust centralized products, since we cannot actually know whether they're doing what they claim. VPNs, Tor (the network) fall into this category.
(Examples are from your picture)

OH NOOO NOT THE HECKIN (PSEUDO) PRIVACY INDUSTRY!!!

>>33680
he still believes in open source after xz utils

it's not ideological, reputational would be a better word. their record for securing their user's data is what makes or breaks companies that sell privacy. anyone else remember seeing commercials on tv back in the day for that company "lifelock" where the ceo brazenly showed his SSN in the commercial to prove how secure his company is?

watching enha content on yt, tt, insta etc. its all fun n games until u start getting 7ers mass psychosis videos on ur tl so you hit them with the "not interested" button but bcs the algorithm is so shit u keep getting them no matter how much you press the button. happened to me.

literally had to close insta i was getting ragebaited badly omfg i dont know how enha keeps their calm 😭

  • blocktube for Firefox
  • pipepipe and freetube's built-in channel filters
  • ublock with has-text on #dismissable elements
  • hiding the search bar and all panes with algorithmic feeds with ublock and just focusing on channels in your RSS reader

>its all a grift and the only real utilitarian goal is mass surveillance

its 2026 dumb ass i don't think companies need to use "space" as a way to get mass surveillance funding, they just partner with the CIA or something like palantir or flock.

>>33456
Looks like a small nuke, holy shit

It's about the technical capacity of surveillance, I never mentioned anything about funding

China's space program has successfully recovered a reusable rocket (the CZ-10B "Long March") for the first time, using a novel method where they catch it with a net.
