What do you guys, gals and enbies think about Briar?
It's a p2p communication program but for once has a different approach.

From wiki:
>…communications with no centralized servers and minimal reliance on external infrastructure. Messages can be transmitted through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, over the internet via Tor or removable storage, such as USB sticks.

Anyway, seems like a neat idea but maybe I'm missing something

I used to use Briar for a while. it's pretty neat. for those who don't know, its main selling point is that it is metadata resistant. its main downside when I used it was battery usage, because it had to stay connected to Tor. message delivery is also an issue, because both users have to be online. in a group chat this is easier, but it's still necessary for a critical mass of people to be online for messages to percolate

The idea that's floating in my head (now) is to not embed HTML, but the application, as a set of optional widgets.
One widget displays backlinks as Article links, and replies as Notes, and allows for the creation of Notes (maybe three tags for these).
Another takes an inbox, outbox, or sharedInbox and creates a feed.
The base front-end for the application is a nearly full-screen modified contentEditable with a submit/edit button.
Authentication might be a little tricky… but should be possible…

I do think the distinction between relational data and formatting data is valuable.
Even though this is a smaller application, it still feels like it could be smaller.

>>31298
The parsing analogy is interesting. Think it's understood. Wonder if it generalizes?

>>31299
So this is about API design right?
You're saying there should be, in this case, a single endpoint.
With hidden fields in the form and the action attribute set.
The point is then to reduce the complexity of the transmitted data, endpoints, and render.
All while achieving a certain level of civilization.

This makes me want to get back to rewriting arsvia2, instead of idly contemplating redux.

Used this to delete a table, and simplified and renamed a few more. Similar effects on simplifying classes. Also consolidated the queries, so that there's really only two written now, but they service the tripcode, address (for admin), thread, catalog, and recent views. Think there might be three other pages so perhaps three more smaller queries to come. Think getting rid of the Mixins is the next big step for the rewrite.

Today only managed to get nested contentEdtable elements to work like they should.
The key idea is to zoom out the lens (all the way) for navigation and zoom in (all the way) for editing.
Focusing the body with addEditable is necessary for repeat keypresses.

<!DOCTYPE html>

const outer = document.getElementById('outer');
const inner = document.getElementById('inner');

inner.addEventListener('mouseup', () => narrowToSelection(), true);
inner.addEventListener('touchend', () => narrowToSelection(), true);
outer.addEventListener('mouseup', () => narrowToSelection(), true);
outer.addEventListener('touchend', () => narrowToSelection(), true);

const isArrow = k => ['ArrowLeft','ArrowRight','ArrowUp','ArrowDown'].includes(k);

function addEditable (node) {
  node.classList.add("_arsvia_editable");
  node.contentEditable = true;
  node.focus()
}

function removeEditables () {
  Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("_arsvia_editable"))
  .forEach(el => {
    el.classList.remove("_arsvia_editable");
    el.removeAttribute('contentEditable');
  });
}

function narrowToSelection () {
  removeEditables()

  const selection = window.getSelection();
  if (!selection.rangeCount) return;
  let narrow = selection.getRangeAt(0).startContainer;
  if (narrow.nodeType === Node.TEXT_NODE) narrow = narrow.parentElement;

  addEditable(narrow);
}

window.addEventListener('keydown', e => {
  if (!isArrow(e.key)) return;

  removeEditables();
  addEditable(body); 
});

window.addEventListener('keyup', e => {
  if (!isArrow(e.key)) return;
  narrowToSelection();
});

Other than this worked on the HTML editor some.
Had the machine replace the decorators with actual content that's hidden so that they can be edited.
Still trying to workout how to have it autoupdate the surrounding tag, and deal with insertions, and attributes.

The reason wrote this was to have an input event fire on the "inner" element.
A far better way to do this is to have the input event look for the commonAncestorContainer of the range.
This is now the entirety of what remains of the lens logic.
The machine found an different way to replace the actual decorator with contents.
That is to have the decorator outside the tree and only position it absolutely when it needs to appear.
There's a small invisible spacer that determines where they are to go in the tree.
Ideally even this spacer wouldn't be in the tree and it's pretty annoying that it's there.
The machine wasn't very helpful other than this, and now seem to barely remember why this helped.
It was something to do with the cursor not appearing in the correct position before if it was 1ch wide.
Got autoupdating of the surrounding tag, and attributes to work also, although attributes are no longer hidden.
A previous version also had the insertion working, but this is no longer the case.
Am starting to be a bit warn from the LLaMa shaving.
Much prefer just programming, and taking things a little slower, but can't seem to.

>WireGuard
Written in C, so no.
>OpenVPN
Insecure (and written in C).

Proprietary trash. Again, written in a lower level language.

When the fuck will somebody use Python to script a VPN protocol out of for a full tunnel client w/ access to iptables w/ default setting at "strict"? Plus run it on custom STUN servers, uses 10.8.0.53 instead of 8.8.8.8 (Google)/1.1.1.1 Cloudflare)/9.9.9.9 (Quad9) and blocks any connections to them for a fine-grained DNS control, and fully self-hosted w/ local only control. Everything else is too insecure. Oh, and also

>>30455
Nobody tell him what the Python interpreter is written in.

Both Wireguard and OpenVPN are just protocols. What you're looking for is alternative implementations, OP.
There are user-space implementations of both protocols in languages like Rust, Go, or some other niche meme language you may worship. If you're persistent enough, there are probably some microkernel-based operating systems which can let you use these alternative implementations as low-level components of the OS - on par with original, C-based implementations.
I have to warn you though, that most original implementations of VPN protocols use C language for very good reasons:

1. Building a high-performance VPN daemon in user-space is an absolute pain in the ass on contemporary operating systems
2. Integrating higher-level languages into kernel code is pure fucking pain. The only operating system that does this correctly is NetBSD (as far as I'm aware) with their Lua modules.
3. If you're building a kernel module that's pretty much just a wrapper over a cryptographic protocol - memory safety isn't even your first concern. One of many reasons why you shouldn't roll out your own crypto, is that implementing cryptographic protocols in a way that's not susceptible to timing side channel attacks is absurdly difficult. In case of higher-level languages whose compilers/interpreters may introduce automatically generated optimizations for the resulting code - you can't really predict whether your program is going to contain timing side channels or not. Some langauges provide special constructs to explicitly allow secure cryptographic code to be written, but in most cases - it's safe to say we have far more experience with writing correct crypto code in C than in, let's say, Python.

For 50,000 Palestinian kids to be murdered required a quite dead internet.

Most nations are alert about the dead internet issue. China for example cut their internet off from the rest of the world to avoid the parasites.
Many other nations are also cutting foreign internet off beyond the deeper web. IE cutting off the foreign-monopoly surface-web. The surface-level web the west has endured should be destroyed due to how much it has been subverted.

Cheers to nations developing better browsers for the deeper web.

maybe the internet has just evolved beyond it's fun exciting wild west frontier phase and now it's a boring shopping mall and nobody is interested in using the internet for anything but selling garbage and making money.

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.

Machine Learning general. So anybody here actually do any ML programming? I just installed PyTorch yesterday and actually started training some shit. It was pretty easy to get working. But… I am a dumb dumb, so I am going to go back and learn all the basics I think, because I have delusions that maybe I'll be able to do something interesting with it, but I know unless I'm really knowledgeable about it, the probability is less than zero.

I know that thread about bitching about ML is the most popular thread on /tech/ but I thought we should have a separate thread for people actually programming it.

<Posted on September 4, 2025 by Curro Jimenez

<Curro here. The main thesis of the following article is that the Military Industrial Complex, which Eisenhower warned about, has expanded to include the governments of the U.S. and Israel, as well as major Silicon Valley tech companies. If Eisenhower could draw a line between the MIC and the government, today that’s no longer possible.

<This new alliance, referred to as the ‘military-digital complex,’ is characterized by the blurred lines between the public and private sectors, with corporations playing a crucial and often unaccountable role in geopolitical affairs and military operations. Out of this, a new power system is emerging.

<The theoretical core of this article is the short fourth subheading. It refers to a talk given by Peter Thiel at Stanford University in 2004 entitled ‘The Straussian Moment,’ in honor of the leading neoconservative thinker.

<In it, Thiel outlined ‘the foundations of the new global power architecture. He based this on the premise that ‘the brute facts of September 11 demand a re-examination of the foundations of modern politics,’ given that ‘Western political philosophy can no longer cope with our world of global violence’.

<The author states that this new global power architecture ‘called for a new compromise, and this new compromise inexorably demanded more security at the expense of less freedom’.

<Not only was Palantir born out of that theory, but the current genocide in Gaza and the conflicts in the Middle East at large—as well as Ukraine—are proof of the existence of the ‘military-digital complex’ bringing together the MIC, the U.S., Israel, and Silicon Valley.”

At a symposium held in July 2004 at Stanford University in honour of Professor Emeritus René Girard, Peter Thiel (40) founder of Palantir Technologies Inc. and “godfather” of the PayPal Mafia (41) outlined the foundations of the new global power architecture. He based this on the premise that “the brute facts of September 11 demand a re-examination of the foundations of modern politics,” given that “Western political philosophy can no longer cope with our world of global violence.”

During his talk, titled The Straussian Moment, a tribute to the leading ideologue (42) of the neoconservative circles that instigated the “War on Terror” under the disastrous presidency of George W. Bush, Thiel stated:

“The twenty – first century started with a bang on September 11, 2001. In those shocking hours, the entire political and military framework of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and indeed of the modern age, with its emphasis on deterrent armies, rational nation – states, public debates, and international diplomacy, was called into question. For how could mere talking or even great force deter a handful of crazy, determined, and suicidal persons who seemingly operated outside of all the norms of the liberal West? And what needed now to be done, given that technology had advanced to a point where a tiny number of people could inflict unprecedented levels of damage and death?

The awareness of the West’s vulnerability called for a new compromise, and this new compromise inexorably demanded more security at the expense of less freedom. On the narrow level of public policy, there needed to be more x – ray machines at airports; more security guards on airplanes; more identification cards and invasions of privacy; and fewer rights for some of the accused. Overnight, the fundamentalist civil rights mania of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which spoke in the language of inviolable individual rights, was rendered an unviable anachronism.’’ (43)

“Peace activists are war activists. … We are the peace activists.” Alex Karp

Among the companies within the “military-digital complex” that stand out most for their practical and ideological support of the Tel Aviv government’s policies, Palantir Technologies Inc. stands out as a defining case. As Alex Koller observes:

“Palantir, known for its government contract work in defense and intelligence, has provided its technology to support the Ukrainian and Israeli militaries in their respective wars. (…) [Alex] Karp said on Palantir’s earnings call last month [February 2024] he was ‘exceedingly proud that after Oct. 7, within weeks, we are on the ground and we are involved in operationally crucial operations in Israel.’ Palantir held its first board meeting of the year in Tel Aviv, Israel, in January [2024], after which the company agreed to a ‘strategic partnership’ with the Israeli Ministry of Defense to supply the country with technology for its military efforts. In November, Karp asserted the company’s support of the U.S. government and Israel, declaring on an earnings call that ‘Palantir only supplies its products to Western allies.’

In Wednesday’s interview, Karp reaffirmed his pro-Israel views. Eisen referenced the company’s decision in October to take out a full-page ad in The New York Times, stating it ‘stands with Israel.’”

Palantir Technologies Inc (46) was founded in 2003 “using $2 million in investment rounds from In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital firm,” (47) and counts among its clients the FBI, NSA, IRS, various police departments, and other government agencies (48). The Denver-based company specializes in developing artificial intelligence (AI) software that supports data analytics and decision-making processes in large organizations, primarily militaries and other government agencies. It has been providing its tools to Israel’s security forces at least since 2017, starting with its predictive policing system.

Shortly after Israel began its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, Palantir entered into a ‘strategic partnership’ with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help the ‘war effort.’ The company reported ‘seeing high demand from Israel for new tools’ and has been providing the Israeli military and intelligence agencies with at least four of its main products:

Footnote 30: This ideology is based on a critique of liberalism in the name of freedom from imperialism, as evidenced by the National Conservatism movement and its founder, Yoram Hazony. In an insightful essay published in Jewish Currents, Suzanne Schneider states: “The clearest instantiation today of Hazony’s ideal is neither Donald Trump’s America nor Boris Johnson’s Britain, but the hilltop settlements located deep in the heart of the West Bank: tight-knit communities made up of large, traditional families, united in the face of the enemy, producing legions of young soldiers who have been schooled in the fusion of state violence and spirituality. This is the template that Hazony now offers to the world via the neutralized language of National Conservatism. Like his Zionist predecessors, he too imagines Israel as a light unto the nations—an illiberal model for the international nationalist brigade.” Suzanne Schneider, Light Among the Nations, 28 September 2023, https://jewishcurrents.org/light-among-the-nations. Contrary to the unfounded claims of some contemporary journalists and politicians, the resurgence of nationalism that we are witnessing today cannot be equated with the historical European movement of the same name. The latter was characterised by a secular and anti-clerical stance, inspired by the universalist values of the Enlightenment and spread by a network of revolutionary secret societies, including the Carbonari in Italy and the Filiki Eteria in Greece. Yoram Hazony’s National Conservatism movement appears to be an attempt to export the ideology and practices of the Zionist movement from the Middle East to Western countries in their most illiberal form. After all, the founder’s biography has always been consistent with his ideals, beginning with his encounter with the extremist Meir Kahane at Princeton in 1984.

Silicon Valley’s Reading List Reveals Its Political Ambitions

https://www.programmablemutter.com/p/silicon-valleys-reading-list-reveals?

In 2008, Paul Graham mused about the cultural differences between great US cities. Three years earlier, Graham had co-founded Y Combinator, a “startup accelerator” that would come to epitomize Silicon Valley — and would move there in 2009. But at the time Graham was based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which, as he saw it, sent a different message to its inhabitants than did Palo Alto.

Cambridge’s message was, “You should be smarter. You really should get around to reading all those books you’ve been meaning to.” Silicon Valley respected smarts, Graham wrote, but its message was different: “You should be more powerful.”

He wasn’t alone in this assessment. My late friend Aaron Swartz, a member of Y Combinator’s first class, fled San Francisco in late 2006 for several reasons. He told me later that one of them was how few people in the Bay Area seemed interested in books.

Today, however, it feels as though people there want to talk about nothing but. Tech luminaries seem to opine endlessly about books and ideas, debating the merits and defects of different flavors of rationalism, of basic economic principles and of the strengths and weaknesses of democracy and corporate rule.

This fervor has yielded a recognizable “Silicon Valley canon.” And as Elon Musk and his shock troops descend on Washington with intentions of reengineering the government, it’s worth paying attention to the books the tech world reads — as well as the ones they don’t. Viewed through the canon, DOGE’s grand effort to cut government down to size is the latest manifestation of a longstanding Silicon Valley dream: to remake politics in its image.

Synthetic data has to be filtered for quality and novelty, otherwise it does lead to model collapse. It doesn't always result in that, though.

Always have been. Wikipedia mainly gets edited for SEO purposes. You may think you are reading information, but look at the citations. Those citations were put there by people trying to promote their work by having it linked to by Wikipedia and therefore juicing Google's search algorithm.

Plus if you bookmark enough stuff you pretty much never need to use a search engine since you'll likely have a bookmark within a click or so of what you need.

Also want to add on, KNOW YOUR ATTACK VECTORS!!!!

Read about how and what you want to secure, and understand what is needed for you to achieve that goal while still having good experience with the net.

you cant save yourself from psychedelic fueled computer men paid a good amount to see who you are, no matter how much you try. But you can always save yourself from advertisers and skiddies.

Why do you spam this crap everywhere? I saw your post already on Channel4 BBS. It's not even a good list, it's just the most entry level milktoast nonsense list.
