GrapheneOS cannot be fully trusted because it runs on Google's proprietary hardware stack, which remains a critical vulnerability. While GrapheneOS markets itself as a privacy-focused alternative, its security is undermined by the fact that it operates on devices like Google's Pixel smartphones—hardware designed and controlled entirely by Google. Unlike other OEMs, Google does not merely integrate off-the-shelf components; it designs its own processors (e.g., Tensor chips) and develops the closed-source firmware and software that power them. Other manufacturers receive binary blobs from chipmakers, which they cannot modify, but Google retains unilateral authority to embed hidden functionalities or surveillance mechanisms directly into the hardware-software ecosystem.

This means Google could inject malicious code into the processor’s firmware—code that operates independently of Android (and thus independently of GrapheneOS itself). Such malware would run at the hardware level, bypassing the operating system entirely and evading detection. If Google exploits this capability in its proprietary GApps, the same logic applies to the foundational software controlling its processors. Since GrapheneOS cannot audit or modify these closed-source components, users are left exposed to potential backdoors.

If you trust GrapheneOS on Pixel devices, you must also trust Google’s closed-source hardware stack—the very same infrastructure that could enable pervasive surveillance. In that case, there is no meaningful distinction between GrapheneOS and stock Android; both rely on Google’s opaque technology. Conversely, if you reject GApps and Google’s data harvesting, you cannot reconcile that distrust with reliance on Google’s hardware. To truly deGoogle, you must abandon devices where the manufacturer controls the silicon itself.

So, I'm a musician, who wants to have a musical career (a lot of communist musicians had stable careers) and meanwhile stupid porkies tell me that "no, we'd prefer if you were replaced, prole, because there if no place for people like you" and I hear, not only music, but other art, computer science, programming etc. will be replaced by AI. How do we stop this, so people are still prosperous in the real socialst societies?

All that intelligence and they can't even make a working website.

It’s sort of like blockchain, it’s an interesting technology that would satisfy some niche requirement, but there has been so much “it’s going to change everything!” hype, so much grifting, so much fearmongering about destroying entire industries for employees that what comes out always seems lacklustre in comparison and will therefore get discredited even for the use cases it might have actually been useful in.

what masks would you recommend to someone that will attend a gathering during which he will be recorded from all angles? itt we discuss such things, potential ways to mask ourselves in a way that makes it as hard as possible for future algorithms to: a. reconstruct the face; and b. match the face with already existing databases.

bonus points if the mask allows the person to view clearly without exposing too much of the eye area

where to get free uncensored deepseek online? huggingchat used to have it but now that's dead. I know I can run it locally on my own machine, but that's slow and I'm a mooch. what elase can I say?

Just make an OC and think of what they would say on a matter. Anything else you can use wikipedia or surf around for.

what kind of censored information do you want to consult that deepseek is blocking you from. like you can just search for "tiananmen square" yourself

Thank you. If i had to summarize this approach, it would be reducing complexity by finding the right interfaces.
>That it's a textboard has reminded me that I've no idea how to federate files.
Elaborate.

>>30515
>right interfaces
Wouldn't have guessed that this is what you would have called this.
Don't worry about the files thing was just being foolish.
Should probably spend some time learning UNIX a little better.
If for no other reason than to get better at using other programming languages' standard libraries.

>>30514
In other news seem to have gotten something like a nearly complete schema setup:

auth
├── PrivateAddress.ts
├── PrivateUser.ts
├── PublicAddress.ts
├── PublicUser.ts
└── UserRole.ts
reports
├── PostAction.ts
├── PostReport.ts
├── Report.ts
├── UserAction.ts
└── UserReport.ts
threads
├── File.ts
├── Nicknames.ts
├── PageInfo.ts
├── Post.ts
├── Reference.ts
├── Tags.ts
└── UserProfile.ts

3 directories, 17 files


The most interesting features are the ability to assign nicknames to anonymized (by default) IP addresses or users.
And the replacement of boards with moderated user created tags; along with the posting to multiple tags.
Am thinking of federating anonymous posts using throwaway https://github.com/Debdut/uuid-readable UUID usernames.
This would be as an alternative to the high dox potential of having anonymous histories based on IP.

>>30516
>to get better at using other programming languages' standard libraries.
C doesn't really have the best standard library. You usually want to avoid using anything that isn't a thin wrapper around a syscall.
>Wouldn't have guessed that this is what you would have called this.
I got this from https://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/djblegacy.html
<One of the "DJB philosophy" key points is to question the interfaces. You have a task to do; you have existing interfaces. What do you do?
<Interfaces should be questioned right down to the libc. You cannot build strong software on flakey foundations. And from a system and network programmer's point of view, one thing is clear: most standard libc interfaces suck. There is no buffered asynchronous I/O. There is no timed I/O. There is no heap management helper. Even simple system calls are not always guaranteed to succeed!
UNIX doesn't have proper records, which most developers compensate for with databases, essentially a second filesystem layer. Files and directories are really the only level where database operations are simple, reliable and fast, so if you keep your state simple enough, you can map all of it onto simple file creation and access.

The next version will allow composing posts by processing arbitrary blobs, but i'm proud of how the static site generation approach worked out for this one. The locks are the only non-essential state of the system and usually short-lived, everything else is either persistent data, static configuration or entirely ephemeral.

>>30516
Am probably going to restart.
I've realized this should be a ActivityPub server first.
And only secondly a anonymous imageboard (front-end).

>>30517
Wonder if a torrent client might be candidate for a good djb application.
You could parse the bencode into the filesystem operating as a key value.
Lists would then just be dictionaries with enumerated keys.
Unpacking the data is probably more elegant in C than in other languages.
Clients are largely well segmented with clear modules based on a request/response pattern.
These could easily be turned into program boundaries, each implementing the previous response struct/unpacking.

I already accidentally locked myself out from any adult content on my computer by changing the router settings and losing access but I need help with my phone.
There is no website block option on Android. I've considered paying someone to root my phone (I'm assuming it provides deeper access to settings) and doing something to hard block any access.
help.

Porn addiction may be the most based addiction




 

Saw Mental Outlaw's videos on the tor network. Thought I'd give it a try. Evidently, it is filled to the brim with exit scams and glowie pedobait. And I found it funny how Tordex/Torch admins try to justify not censoring such garbage.

>The search results on Torch are not censored because we believe trying to censor the dark web is counter productive and a waste of resources. Our philosophy is people have the right to do anything they want and live with the consequences, Torch should not decide what people do with their lives even if it’s morally wrong. We’re a search engine not your conscience.


>If you would like to advertise your hidden service please check our our advertising rates.


Yeah right, it's because of TRVE freedumbs n sheeit, it totally doesn't have anything to do with advertising scam websites to horny pedos and making money off of it.

Funny tangent aside, if there are any useful resources related to cybersec/privacy/tech on tor, please let me know. I'd like to get something useful out of it.

Hello /tech/, how do you search for your images?

I’m looking for some image search services, I specifically want them for anime related stuff, but general use is good too. Both regular image search engines, and reverse image search tools to find sources or similar images, give me your suggestions and tell us what you use. Thansk Anons.

I use these for anime:
https://safebooru.org/ (SFW)
https://gelbooru.com/ (NSFW)

Danbooru has more images but only accepts two tags at most.

For non-anime, I just DuckDuckGo.

Reverse, anime:
https://saucenao.com/
https://iqdb.org/

For non-anime, tineye.com then google/yandex.

File: 1752091126016.png (12.76 KB, 434x149, ClipboardImage.png)

>>30407
4get is a metasearch engine where you can choose what crawlers to search with and what (websites, images, news and music (only soundcloud currently). most of the instances have the basic google, yandex and "privacy respecting" bing frontend crawlers for images. up to date instances also have flickr and pinterest which i find very useful, some independent crawlers and stuff like knowyourmeme for memes and whatnot. you can also choose what country you're searching from, which solves the problem of garbage results when searching for local information or in other languages than english.

>>30534
Fuck, I meant the reverse image search, not the normal one.
I already know about 4get but thanks.

Comrades, we need a thread on privacy. Any decent activist should try ways of staying anonymous on the web and prevent being tracked by governments and corporations.General tips===* Use free software as much as you can.* Use GNU/Linux and keep it up-to-date, to be sure that you don't have unpatched security exploits* Don't use Flash Player, use youtube-dl instead for watching streaming videos online* Do not use Google, use DuckDuckGo or StartPage instead* Use a password manager like Keepass or for GNU/Linux users keepassx. Create new passwords for every site that you visit and use a strong password as a master password. A tip for easy remembering of your master password is to use a sentence. "i fucking love cookies and tits!" with extra capital characters etc. is easier to remember than some random characters and long enough to prevent brute force attacks of any kind.* Use the Tor Browser Bundle if you really want to stay anonymous.Firefox====* Go to Preferences -> History and set History to "Never remember history". * See for additional tweaks: https://github.com/amq/firefox-debloat and https://vikingvpn.com/cybersecurity-wiki/browser-security/guide-hardening-mozilla-firefox-for-privacy-and-securityAdd-ons-----------* Use uBlock Origin for preventing tracking etc. Bonus: use hard-mode to manually whitelist external domains on sites. Don't use uBlock but be sure to use uBlock Origin https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode* HTTPS Everywhere* DecentralEyes: prevents CDN hosting from tracking you (Google for Jquery etc.)* Self Destructing Cookies: only allow cookies that you choose to allowOS==* Encrypt your hard drive or home partition at least* If you use GNU/Linux, you can try to restrict systemd or syslog from logging. * Use a distribution which takes security seriously. Also, be sure that you don't install a lot of things outside the repository. It will cover most of your needs.Real life tips===* Pay with cash if you canFeel free to provide tips to each other comrades!

Friendly reminder:

There is no publicly available list of specific, independent organizations or companies that have conducted a complete, documented audit of GrapheneOS.

>>30529
https://www.kuketz-blog.de/grapheneos-das-android-fuer-sicherheits-und-datenschutzfreaks/
Is reasonably comprehensive for other ROMs, but the closest thing here for GrapheneOS is the Datensendeverhalten section.

>>30530
This is not a professional audit of Graphene OS. This is just a blogpost.

>>30531
Yes. My bad.

What I’d like to add: I believe GrapheneOS has really become a kind of cult, and its followers can’t tolerate any factual criticism at all. The Kuketz forum is one such place. You absolutely mustn’t say anything negative about GrapheneOS there or you’ll be banned immediately. That’s also why I no longer trust Mike Kuketz’s “expertise.” His ideological blind spot on this topic is very obvious.

Where does the belief come from that GrapheneOS is the gold standard for privacy-friendly smartphone OSes? Simply because the developers claim it is. But without professional, truly independent audits, GrapheneOS isn’t any more trustworthy than the Braxphone.

It was a big mistake for Edward Snowden to publicly endorse GrapheneOS. People trust him, but in this case he actually has no idea and can’t objectively say whether GrapheneOS really lives up to its promises. Did Snowden review the code? As far as I know, he did not.

Finally got sick of W11 and tried linux again. First time in my life I felt comfortable enough with it to delete my windows partition. Everything just werks. Been really easy to google answers for the problems I do hit.

Bro why did nobody tell me about KDE Connect, I had to find out it existed from the comment section of fucking linus tich teps, it's fucking awesome. There's a nightly for macOS too, so everything is connected and cozy

Out of curiosity, what's the current meme Arch spin that people are using to avoid installing Arch?
>Manjaro
>Endeavor I think it was called
Is there another one yet? Will people ever learn how to use Calameres or just install Arch normally?

>>30527
im using endeavour. they say it is just arch with calamares installer. it uses dracut but idk what that means. it also has yay for pacman by default which i like. i just picked it cause i was gonna kde anyway and i liked the space stuff. i was using grub to dual boot until i deleted windows and reinstalled on defaults so now its systemd.

people say manjaro is bad now. i think the popular one is Cachy? the gamers like it better but the real gamer meme is Garuda. i wanted less bloat and only install gamer stuff as needed. endeavour works great zero issues for almost a year now.
