their style and media arent loading and almost always show a 403 error because their blacklist is super aggressive to deter crawlers

I made the guestbook in the style of an imageboard in honor of this site helping me reach my goals

Very Cool website OP 👍. Bookmarked

>>24597

aw thanks. don't forget to sign the guestbook with an interesting image!

>/leftypol/ was instrumental in helping me make my personal site
how?

don't Google and AT&T already give the government all their data? but sure things can always be worse

Here's the bill that was proposed. It looks concerning, but that's just from these spooky scary headlines I found from searching it. I'll start to read it now and share my thoughts.

>>24537
>expand the number of businesses that the US government can force to eavesdrop on Americans without a warrant
they already had this for years in the bush era on the patriot act, warrentless wiretaps were fully legal, and not indirectly forcing businesses to hand over data but actually doing it directly.

I guess this is just a return to form.

works on my machine

it's because music streaming completely killed dedicated audio players obviously. not only that but phones carry like 1TB ootb that's a lot more than the 256GB we were used to back in the day, so it's completely irrelevant technology. if you have specific audiofile needs and an aversion to spotify, you'd be spending your cash on a plex box and plexamp on your phone.

>>24590
>phones carry like 1TB ootb
fucking which ones? all the phones with good specs have like 128-256 gigs with absolutely no room for extra storage to force you to rely on streaming and cloud garbage

>an aversion to spotify
i have an aversion to paying for stuff that can be free, thanks

>>24592
like every flagship lol wdym. even dirt cheap chinese phones have 256gb storage wtf lol, i use a fucking rooted poco as a dedicated media player it was a hundred bucks and that has 256gb, it's too bad that flagships dont have additional sd card storage like that one does, i'll give you that

>>24593
im not in the "first world" tbf

>>24575
3000 is an insane amount lol. I recently upgraded and the most difficult thing to choose was the mobo actually. Huge differences in price and hard to discern for what reason.

Why don't you consult reddit?

I guess first choice to make would be if you are gonna go with Amd or intel and amd or nvidia. Thrn when you figure that out just get whatever the newest flagship is. Then pick mobo that works for the chipset. Whatever the best ssd is for your main drive. Ram highest clock speed. Probably want to go ddr5 but I hear there isn't much of an advantage currently. That's about it. Case doesn't matter just get one you think looks kewl.

>>24576
>look it up
>top of the line geforce costs 1800 now
Damn. Well splurge on the graphics card more than the proccessor for gaming. Gaming doesn't need a super cpu. Also splurge on the ssd if you want better loading times.

if you want an internal blu ray drive, then you need a compatible SATA connector on the motherboard and a properly sized optical drive bay (5.25", half height) on the case, i think

>any recommendations for networking related things
You want to read Computer Networking: a Top Down Approach (or Computer Networks by Andrew Tanenbaum). Try to get CCNA cert if you want sysadmin/network admin type of work. For DevOps, you want to learn how to use Docker and basic usage of Ubuntu and Alpine Linux (these 2 distros are often used for Docker). Learning GNU/Linux skills is important if you want to work in anything that's related to computer networking or DevOps. I recommend that you install GNU/Linux (dual-boot Xubuntu or something) if you don't use it already, and read this free book https://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

>>21646
>Computer Networking: a Top Down Approach (or Computer Networks by Andrew Tanenbaum)
those are more of a theoretical approach to networking you would have in a CS degree, not a practical guide for network engineers. Its fine to read those but something like Net+/CCNA or other cert.
>For DevOps, you want to learn how to use Docker and basic usage of Ubuntu and Alpine Linux
Devops/SRE certs are mostly about AWS Architect, Kubernetes, and maybe some IAC tool like terraform. Most places are replacing docker with podman. If you learn linux for employability id recommend RHEL or equivalent distro since that covers podman and also most big businesses use it including AWS/oracle/etc. which are just RHEL clones anyway. Ubuntu is mainly for desktops and hobbyists.

Whats /tech/'s opinion on linux certs?

LFCS (linux foundation) vs LPIC-* (linux institute) versus Redhat versus suse/oracle/etc. ??

>>24568
Based and tech-pilled, but what are you getting certified in Linux for? Networking? Get certified in networking first, I've learned more about the Linux kernel from trying to run Lutris than any textbook I've read. As with other certs, it's only worth as much as you can get out of it. If it can promise you the job, go ahead, but I wouldn't vouch on it.

>>24579
>Linux for?
sysadmin cert probably. Just expanding my ops knowledge

I don't care for the immature rightoid being banned. The precedent which the FDO "conduct enforcement board" set with their actions is worrying though.

Both sides seem to agree that vaxry acted entirely within the coc on the relevant platforms. Quite frankly he is right in that freedeskslop is playing internet police. They make vaxry accountable for his conduct as hyprland product manager, yet they are disputing his personal privileges as a contributor on the freedesktop gitlab. His resolve not to reply to future email of the kind, is then taken as a clear threat of ignoring future interventions on their platforms. In hindsight their entire justification for violating the conduct of their platforms is based on this uncharitable reading.

Vaxry is a prominent project leader who had it coming. Still i can't help but think they will transition to a more extensive type of "enforcement" in the future. Imagine if they banned all leftypol_vichan contributors on their platforms, because "hateful ideology" or similar contrived shit.

>>24561
How could they play "internet police"? They can't ban you from sites they don't control.

>>24562
Depending on how you see this, they either banned him for something he didn't do on any of their platforms or they did so on a flimsy justification likely for the former reason. If they had any further actions they could take for "violating" their coc, they obviously would. For the project leader of a wlroots compositor, being unable to contribute to upstream at all is not to be taken lightly.

Or think about it this way: When the USA imposed sanctions on Venezuela, were they playing world police or just being shitty in general?

>>24561
Is he a rightoid though? I don't think he is very politically inclined and this drama is what's likely shoving him into political spheres now. The most political thing he wrote afaik was this: https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-inclusiveActivists and it seems to be mostly against idpol nonsense.

>>24572
In the first email he mentions that Redhat diversity hiring "scandal", Bryan Lunduke can't stop bringing up (see https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5515346/the-ibm-red-hat-leaks-what-weve-learned-so-far and >>23967).

So it seems Youtube is increasing it's pressure against Invidious and third party apps. What do you think, is this the end of adfree Youtube? What will you do?

>>24479
Invidious isn't particularly threatened by this round but you should still donate.
>Is it over?
It's Youtube. It never began.

>>23848
it won't happen, at least not by force. that's an outmoded means of social control
you're already living after the internet in the era of the big, centralised tech company. 4chan is a rounding error (not to mention probably a honeypot) and /leftypol/ is even less important than that.
the only major things that're going to change over the coming years is that search will get worse and AI generated gibberish pages will push down the signal-noise ratio when you're looking for actual information.

the fear of the jackbooted facist coming to take your 4chan away is a fundamentally outdated understanding of social control. no "rebel" sites pose an actual threat to the state and most "rebel" content is stuff the state is perfectly content with like people saying the n-word and pornography. even for stuff that the state doesn't like: piracy, cp, leaks, etc, the optimum level of those undesirable sites is not zero: if online piracy were impossible then offline piracy, which is harder to track, would explode. you want it to be inconvenient so people give up and buy the thing, but not so difficult they buy it out of the back of a truck on a microSD card. you want just enough CP that you can keep up a steady process of arresting those involved in creating, distributing, and posessing it. again: much easier when they're using an FBI server than when they're buying polaroids from a truck. even leaks: you want there to be a central place for leaks, even if every so often someone leaks your government's documents, because people will also leak other government's documents. furthermore they can be used for disinfo - "this site is trustworthy, it leaked US-document-X, therefore it must not have an agenda when leaking Iranian-document-Y."

"free to consume in your personal life but impotent when it comes to changing social conditions" is the condition of the average person today. we no longer live in an age where a capitalist regime needs to ban Marx for fear people will believe in him - forget that: now you can securely sell Marx to what is, more often than not, the mere Communist fandom.

Stop thinking in terms of websites. If you want to start some revolutionary / illegal shit, build a brand around yourself using digital signatures. Establish your presence across a basket of onion forums, chans, encrypted pastebins, etc. There's someone on the Ableonion chat who does that. He's a smut peddler, but my point still stands.

>>23849
>Nothing of value will be lost.
wrong, everything of value will be lost and only the shit i.e.
>YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter
will remain

Do they have a zine? Website?

>>24555
no idea but i think theyre rightoids on fbi.gov

Probably. CIA wrote a warning about them, kek.

Is this what the kids call sadge? Am I using that word right?
