Talk about why every single site except reddit and fbi.gov has been complete and utterly abandoned.

>Interesting things going on

Browsers are all forcing https by default. On the surface this sounds like a good idea but in reality it's part of a larger plan of control.
Website owners are now at the mercy of the cert authorities. Host something they dont like? you cert gets revoked and now your site wont load on 99% of web browsers.
you have been shutdown.

>What is the dead internet theory?

Dead internet is partly caused by a generational problem, zoomers just want to be where they're friends are. it's understandable, we even did the
same back in the 2000s. everyone was on AIM and myspace. The only difference is those platforms actually did allow free speech back then. now the
internet has become more centralized and a handful of big corps run it all. they are in charge of what gets said on their platforms. not you.

>big techs goal

Big tech is fighting a future war. They know the young are the future. It’s about indoctrination. They are building their vision for the future. A dumbed down controlled population.

Its true. All thats left is big tech monopolies (remember, amazon hosts so much shit). Not to mention the exploitative nature of the attention economy (and even if you think youre avoiding it by using duckduckgo, its just Bing in disguise, you will be clickbaited). To all comrades addicted such as myself all I can say is delete all your accounts and smash your smartphone in a luddite rage. Regain some control and reconnect with fellow humans to stand a chance against the Big Tech. No mercy for the big tech nerds!


It's not dead internet, it's centralized internet and unsearchable internet. Internet traffic became more centralized towards major platforms like Twitter and Facebook and Reddit, Google monopolized search and then destroyed it with SEO rendering the internet unsearchable. In other words, the United States once again made the mistake of leaving a vitally important public resource in the hands of the private monopolies who turn a potentially-great technology into an unusable piece of shit. The internet is the new railroad.

Everyhting is just an influencer marketing bullshit shtick and they want me to scan my face for that? Fuck that. Luckily, cool software like classic imageboards or new fediverse shit can run on a toaster, when the classic http internet gets fully surveiled and controlled we'll just have to adapt and switch to onions, or something else. Be creative with it.

It's only a useful website if you're interested in the occult, but I recently found wizardforums.com. It reminds me of the old internet, just people chatting about a common interest. Highly suggest it to other occultists.

You’ve got to compile it from a feather, ash mixed with water and some wood pulp.

I mean it might be packaged by someone somewhere and the version I’m compiling from is from 1687, so presumably if there is a packaged version it’s probably newer, but hey if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

>Its also bloated and slow, and its internal wiki style links might not transfer to another system so notes might get linkrot if I switch to other platforms in the future

finally i realized the real nature of the so called "decentralized" fediverse. it is a total scam!

>>32178
The Pseudo-Decentralization of Mastodon – Just Another Illusion

Mastodon and the broader Fediverse are frequently sold as the holy grail of “real” decentralization – in contrast to evil centralized platforms. In reality, this is mostly marketing.The largest instances (mastodon.social, mastodon.online, mas.to) are all controlled by the same legal entity: the Mastodon gGmbH / corporation, led by Eugen Rochko. Two or three of the biggest nodes = one single boss. That’s not decentralization; that’s just a slightly distributed company structure.Sure, right-wing instances like Truth Social exist (or Gab, or others). But they rarely federate meaningfully with the big leftist-leaning main instances. In practice you get two (or three) almost completely separate, ideologically closed networks that only talk to their political allies. That’s not open federation – that’s allied dictatorships communicating with each other.At the end of the day every single instance is still a miniature centralized dictatorship with an owner who can ban, defederate, censor, or simply shut down the server whenever they feel like it. Mastodon.social, Truth Social, Reddit, X – structurally they are the same thing: one admin, one set of rules, one kill switch.The Fediverse is “decentralized” in exactly the same sense that Reddit, X and 4chan are decentralized: you can choose which dictator you want to live under. That’s the whole difference.

Psst. All you need is Windisk w/ 7/XP Ultimate running decompiler on PC to fetch the source code and patched up using GNU. Then:

>Take a decompiled Win7/XP core

>Strip all the COM garbage and IE hooks
>Patch the kernel to boot inside QEMU or real hardware
>Replace HAL, ntoskrnl components, GDI, etc., with GNU/Linux analogues
>Port coreutils, init, bash, maybe even udev to handle hardware
>Bolt on Wine or ReactOS DLLs for Win32 API compatibility
>Slam X.org or Wayland on top and fake explorer.exe with Qt or GTK
>Call it “GNU/NT” or “Gentoondows-ng”

Using Windows on a VM even on Linux is a risky gamble, but it's used primarily because it will save even behind a VM.

And Windows mobile UI.

In recent years China has made significant strides in developing its own semiconductor industry with things like Huawei's HiSilicon, Loongson, StarFive, MilkV, etc. I would call that China outlasted the US sanctions barrage from the US. Chinese investment in fabrication technologies, while not anyway near cutting edge is getting to be near good enough. With things like Intel looking shaky and the rise of Risc-V and ARM we are steadily moving forwards towards the hopeful future of open standards, hardware and software, where most consumer computation devices will have built in Chinese backdoors instead of American ones.

I wonder how well ternary computing and optical computing complement each other. Both might as well be meaningless buzzwords to me, but those seem to be the least meme tier future paradigms in how we do computing in the future apart from just binary silicon semiconductors.

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/how-china-built-its-manhattan-project-rival-west-ai-chips-2025-12-17/
>In a high-security Shenzhen laboratory, Chinese scientists have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent: a prototype of a machine capable of producing the cutting-edge semiconductor chips that power artificial intelligence, smartphones and weapons central to Western military dominance
>Completed in early 2025 and now undergoing testing, the prototype fills nearly an entire factory floor. It was built by a team of former engineers from Dutch semiconductor giant ASML (ASML.AS), opens new tab who reverse-engineered the company's extreme ultraviolet lithography machines or EUVs
>EUV machines sit at the heart of a technological Cold War. They use beams of extreme ultraviolet light to etch circuits thousands of times thinner than a human hair onto silicon wafers, currently a capability monopolized by the West. The smaller the circuits, the more powerful the chips.
>In April, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said that China would need "many, many years" to develop such technology. But the existence of this prototype suggests China may be years closer to achieving semiconductor independence than analysts anticipated.
>Nevertheless, China still faces major technical challenges, particularly in replicating the precision optical systems that Western suppliers produce.
>The breakthrough marks the culmination of a six-year government initiative to achieve semiconductor self-sufficiency, one of President Xi Jinping's highest priorities. While China's semiconductor goals have been public, the Shenzhen EUV project has been conducted in secret, according to the people.
>The project falls under the country's semiconductor strategy, which state media has identified as being run by Xi Jinping confidant Ding Xuexiang, who heads the Communist Party's Central Science and Technology Commission.

Who the fuck was it that says Lunduke was a good guy? He's a rightoid now which I already knew due to his petit bourgeois class status and that debate with Stallman on free software.

Now all his videos are about h1b and discrimination against whites and pronouns and shit.

Feels good to be vindicated as opposed to the people on /tech/ who said hes a good guy or whatevr.

Picture two are my Chi-Fi: Tin-HIFI T2.
They're mostly neutral with some deviation in the highs.
Much less bass heavy than most Chi-Fi judging from the graphs.

Picture one is my phone, an ironic branding for a midrange device.
Am hoping to install Lineage 21+ after an unlock token arrives.
Interesting apps are as follows:

- Obsidian (note taking software)
- OsmAnd (google maps alternative)
- Messanger (RCS is a monopoly)

You need the basics to really get the value from that reference manual. Try the Floyd series (circuits, electronics, digital, analog) which skips the calculus physics stuff that non-engineers can ignore at first
