you guys are not my political equals. i am vastly different in my disposition. that isn't what I'm here to discuss. I'm here for results against a surveillance state and to build a better future.
i am looking to build a low-cost sacrificial CMOS sensor test rig. interested in characterizing how permanent sensor degradation propagates through an image pipeline and eventually causes OCR failure. not primarily interested in temporary saturation/blinding. the question is where the functional threshold actually occurs after persistent sensor damage accumulates.
>Hardware
Raspberry Pi 4 as controller and replaceable CSI camera modules. IMX477 HQ Camera as primary test sensor IMX296 global-shutter comparison. IMX219 as cheap disposable baseline. interchangeable optics, fixed hardware and software baseline.
>Optical source
controlled, wavelength-defined laser source. output will be measured and recorded to construct a reproducible guide. fixed image sensor mounting and consistent exposure intensity and angling analagous to real world conditions. treat each camera module as a sacrificial test article. the goal is the destruction of optical recognition capabilities in a reproducible and on-the-go formula.
>Software
Raspberry Pi OS/libcamera OpenCV + NumPy Tesseract + PaddleOCR RAW + processed-frame capture automated OCR against a standardized text target
>Goal
log dead/stuck pixel count, persistent defect distribution saturation/clipping noise/SNR contrast and edge degradation OCR confidence character error rate / word error rate
>tl;dr
baseline sensor, controlled exposure, capture RAW + processed frame, run OCR, map persistent defects, repeat with fresh sensor
The interesting result is the curve:
sensor degradation → image-quality degradation → OCR error rate
rather than simply declaring the camera “dead” when OCR first fails.
Looking for recommendations on Pi-compatible sensors that would make useful analogues for higher-end commercial OCR/machine-vision cameras, particularly sensors with RAW access and well-documented characteristics.

pwning the ocr capabilities will be my primary focus oob


Just steal the cameras for testing if you are going to destroy them later anyway.
Modern cameras can take a welding arc and be without issue so the laser would need to have a car battery and a tripod hooked up to be effective in any good time. In case you did have a handheld laser that worked I don't think you'd avoid arrest for more than a week. You should give them for the homeless if you create one.
Tl;dr propably more effective climbing traffic lights with a ski mask

>>34247
exactly the kind of brainstorming i love to hear. do you know if the cameras themselves have methods of asset protection? GPS or the like? do they have backup power. should i bring a farraday bag? matter of fact, I'll see if i can find a repair manual and see if that will answer my questions.

>>34247
my goal was to make a easy to follow and implement guide / manual in the vein of laserhawk to distribute online, but i will reconsider that idea for the time being until i understand the failure threshold of the commercial devices.

>>34247
I've been considering evasion. it's going to be the make out break part of implementing my plan. still mulling it over.



 

Share your desktop!

Installed NeoVim a few days ago. It's my new favorite Emacs!
Am currently writing some monadic parser combinators in Common Lisp with Vlime.
Using nwm as my window manager inside of NeoVIm!
1 post omitted.

600 lines of code later and just a few a functions away from a relatively cohesive Emacs + WM.
What's missing of the base <C-w> commands there's only go to top and bottom which could be copied over.
Still have to create the tabpage and group bindings, there aren't so many of these, and they're mostly builtin.

here's mine! finally got around on actually configuring niri. yesterday i spent maybe 3 or 4 hours trying to get dwm to my liking, only to realize again that suckless is not for me. niri works and doesn't give me headaches.
its really simple with just the things i need.

niri, waybar, kitty terminal, cmus, and vim with really minor tweaks because i'm too lazy to learn it and add on to it

>>34233
Hadn't heard of niri, seems like it would be very good with a touchscreen.
Setup seems very utilitarian.
I would definitely crank down the kitty font size though.
Something closer to what you've got in your browser and you'd be able to see tons more at once.

>>34228
Have been setting up the groups and tabpages, mostly done.
Am reusing some old function to convert arabic numerals to roman for the group names.
Missing the insertion of groups into the list and movement of windows between these groups.
Had a funny idea of how to allow insertions into the window/group lists.
Namely assigning it to the mediant of the preceding and insertion group numbers.
This is the simplest rational between these two numbers.
e.g. between I and II/III is III/IV.
Could easily be convinced to not do this.

>>34241
well i like the big font. when i used st i had it around browser size like you suggested, and it just made me feel uncomfortable and i'd get lost easily… font now just feels cozier :3

>>34228
your setup looks very cool and practical, i just feel stupid because i don't understand half of the words you're saying lol

>>34248
Don't mind the gibberish it was a very impractical, and in that way not smart, way to arrange windows and virtual desktops which gave up on after a day. Should've known better than to make a suggestion like that. Best.

Microsoft is the CIA. Pretty much all US big tech is. Windows is a global CIA mass surveillance program via monopoly capitalism. It’s completely impossible to make Windows secure, there’s no secret registry switch. The entire thing is compromised top to bottom, and under no circumstances should anyone consent to its use. Closed source spyware monopolies are a weapon of war against us by the bourgeois state.

Open source operating systems are software communism. If we’re not willing to build and use existing forms of technological sovereignty and anti-capitalism, then we’re probably not willing to do any other forms of communism either. I hate the “No ethical consumption under capitalism” mantra. How do we expect to get out of capitalism without building alternatives? I think a lot of leftists hope a revolution will happen then just magically replace all the corrupt and bourgeois components of consumerism, using the same uninvolved passive mechanisms.

Do we really believe a windows update will just drop after some election that restores our rights, trust, openness, privacy and dignity? It must be built and owned by the people.

I didn't say rust or go, I said applescript. Just because everyone could learn how to write a "real" language doesn't mean they should have to. Everyone could learn full mathematical notation too, but sometimes you meet them where they are.

>>34084

the point i'm trying to make isn't really about what is a "real" language and what isn't or how easy or hard a language is to learn or any of that, what i'm really talking about is guardrails that lock you into a certain paradigm. applescript is a very clear and obvious example and you can see what it's about right there in the name - a language designed to lock developers into apple's ecosystem and only think and write language the apple way™, so that they cannot use their knowledge in a way that apple does not approve of. a person who uses applescript isn't just a developer, they are an apple developer, their code only works on apple's hardware, if they quit or get fired from apple their knowledge of applescript becomes worthless to them, they can't reuse their code or their ideas anywhere else without completely rethinking and rewriting it from scratch. apple has all the power and the workers have none. google and mozilla's languages basically do the same thing but in a less obvious and less proprietary way, they have hardcoded artificial guardrails in place so that developers are not free agents who can do their work in many possible ways and make their own decisions, they are like slot cars on a track which can only travel along certain predesignated paths. it's like the difference between a well-paid high-agency salesperson who gets paid on commission and has complete discretion as to how to approach the client and convince them to buy, versus a low-paid low-agency salesperson at a telemarketing agency or something who just gets a shitty $8 an hour wage and has to just sit at an autodialing terminal and read from a script verbatim at hundreds of random people all day. the owner and managerial class want to turn every kind of job into the latter kind of job, where they have all the power and the worker is just a monkey that pushes a button and gets a banana.

>>34085
We are talking across purposes. applescript isn't some internal thing, it's an (underloved) consumer-facing product. you are on sounder ground with identifying it a form of vendor lock-in, but its primary purpose was to allow you to script stuff on the desktop with an intuitive syntax (e.g. a valid applescript instruction is "tell application Firefox to quit") although you can do a lot more than that. It is not too difficult to imagine an open, cross-platform language on similar principles (particularly if you weaken the desktop automation element and make a pure scripting language, or outsource interaction with local applications to some kind of extension). It would be actively undesirable to use such a language in a corporate environment (it is inherently too verbose.) but actively desirable for empowering end users.

I am not particularly concerned with enabling programmers to approach problems from whatever angle they like. so long as the language is turing complete, my primary concern is allowing non programmers to approach the problem from at least one angle. To the general proletarianisation of programmers i stand by my original point. Those who thought knowing C made them a superior class of artisan producer who doesn't need any leftist meddling suddenly come to find that in reality they're as, if not more, replaceable than the janitor. A learning experience.

The Hidden Debt That Apple Owes to the CIA

I support free software because it helps develop the productive forces, not because I think it helps user freedom (it doesn't). Most people use software at work which is always locked down.



 

Hi everyone, I'm new here, although some of you may know me.

I tried to make this image of Zack Polanski where I turn him into a gigachad, oh my goodness it turned out horrific.

I need to up my GIMPing skills.



 

What are some genuinely good phones that do not shit the bed after 3 years, and without software updates shitting it's functionality? I've been stuck with Samsung, falling for propoganda that it's long-lasting when in reality they've just added some new pointless OS updates that makes it slower to use.
23 posts omitted.

Pixels are pretty much the best option for long term support now. I do lament that we no longer have a DivestOS style ROM though, which was basically GrapheneOS + LineageOS best of both worlds. Pixels can use Graphene though and just about everything else and are likely to have the baseband and other core stuff updated for awhile, without depending on some OEM's custom shit atop Android and for them to bother updating core components. Samsung, Lenovo/Motorola, any of the Chinese Oppo/Huawei types etc.. can fall into these pitfalls easier. Nothing is perfect, but Pixels are the best option. I do wish they were more like the Nexus models of old that stayed to AOSP instead of having special Pixel versions of stuff that was proprietary, but its still quite possible (and on a pixel, easier than most other modern flagships) to run a custom ROM .

As far as the hardware, if you're buying Pixels (and especially if you're buying used) I HIGHLY suggest getting something of the Pixel 10 series or newer (ie the brand new 11, which is basically very close to the 10 with some small bumps here and ther, I think) because the 10 (at least the Pro models) have "pixelsnap" compatibility which is basically a built combination of Apple's "magsafe" magnetic connection for accessories and the like, and the latest Qi2 standard for wireless charging (regular Qi has been around a long time, Qi 2 is faster and has other benefits as well ). There are other benefits of course but this was one of the things added in the recent Pixel models with the new body redesign. There are also going to be a lot of deals on Pixel 10 family stuff now that the 11s are coming. Pixel 10/11 families go like

>Pixel 10a

The cheapest variant, usually released after the mainline. This is the cut down version but still solid overall. Usually has less 'premium' materials, cameras, and other ancillary shit, lesser raw performance etc.. but a lot cheaper.
>Pixel 10
The baseline version, very capable and a step up from the A models typically.
>Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL
The high end version that has the best of everything. The XP version is just slightly physically larger but aside from that is very close in terms of specs; its more an issue of preference for portability etc. For most technically adept users one of these are typically the way to gPost too long.

Insane value for money. Had the same 200 american dollar (that's 260 in today's money) xiaomi for 7 years now. Adware I turned off immediately and haven't had trouble with since. For apps like gallery I just installed a replacement if they were bad, design-wise. Spyware is like, same level as samsung or other cheap shit. Would you rather have american or chinese backdoor?

>>34135
Bullshit or cope, I had a xiaomi and it had so much shit that you needed to turn off in separate places it was insane, and to this day I never figured out how to disable the xiaomj "safe installer" crap. I got lucky on that phone because it was vulnerable to mtkexploit which rescued it from the trash bin

>>34152
I just hit back out of muscle memory when the stupid safe installer appears. Yeah I had to turn off "features" in separate places too but it took me about a day of getting used to the thing. Yet it is still my daily phone after all these years. Battery still lasts a good day use, too.

Real girls can't even be that expressive

> Real girls can't even be that expressive
*For you*. They'll be this and much more expressive for Chad. A girl I know showed me how she wrote an entire love letter for Chad who had barely even talked to her prior.
This is in stark contrast with the average male experience where it is indeed hard to get a kind word out of her, let alone her being expressive, it's always you putting in work work work money money money and she's still lukewarm towards you at best.

Considerations:

Physical Injury Risks: Eye punctures, genitalia damage, and permanent Injury.
House Injury Types: Electrical fires, battery fires, dents in walls.
Reputational Risks: People will hate your guts. Conservative Groups will view your project as a source of moral ill on the world.
Legal Risks: Who gets sued when problems occur regardless of if you are liable? Adult content requires IP logging and age verification in certain states. You as a small creator are not capable of doing that. Plan accordingly. Do not use smaller sizes to save on weight and price, use realistic 25F 160IBS sized reference models to minimize legal risk.

Safety Precautions:
  1. Use no batteries, instead use a outlet tether.
  2. Back-driveable belts everywhere.
  3. Have a dead man switch that says I am okay.
  4. Use no restraints on yourself.
  5. Retain no user data. Let the user decide if telemetry (ROS2, OpenTelemetry Local) are okay.

If the problem is that real girls don't want you, you can use tech and OF models to make the loneliness easier while you find a gf. You can keep using the tech after the gf, nothing is stopping you. She doesn't have to know.

The Handy 2 already exists as a product so I'm not really liable for the hardware. VR porn clips exist too so I don't have to create any sex models.

I already have the VR webm player app with sex sound effects working off the joystick but I don't want to upload that to github because it will lead back to me. I can't monetise because of reputational risks. >>34103 is a concept video but I have the setup at home and it's pretty cool. I have an infinite library of sex.

You can add AI to it but why ruin something cool. You don't need the full robot.

You could just start with fleshlights and onacups. They feel like the real thing. No yapping needed.



 

Could it be that 4chan tracks its users, builds profiles on them, and serves them personalized content? For instance, that certain posts are displayed to a specific user only after a significant delay, or that the thread order isn't actually based on the last bump, and so on?

Probably not. The 4chan source code has already been leaked, and I haven't come across any mention of a feature like that. But I suppose it would not be too difficult to implement, there are already some imageboard scripts that let threads be tagged, so organizing them according to interest and user satisfaction feedback should not be a big challenge.



 

i have set myself a new rule for my internet life: DON'T USE ALGORITHMIC PLATFORMS.

you know, the highly personalized ones, which merge the user with the algorithm into a single cybernetic system.

the algorithms…. they hollow us out. they control us. they are directly hijacking system 1 of our brains. and it becomes even worse. as longer you use these plarforms, the stronger your habits will become. and the algorithms are also becoming stronger with every year. at one point, you are unable to articulate your interests, because the algorithm took it from you. it knows what you like, but yourself are unable to put it into words. run.

Why not just quit internet altogether? Every single thing you do on it is harvested for data to be fed into AI.

You're still being moderate. Replace your social media feeds with RSS feeds, and ideally, stop using social media completely.
Fun fact: I read your thread through my RSS reader.
