The only time I would Torrent is if I had a custom workstation consisting of a MilkV Jupiter wired to another MilkV Jupiter router board via cat6 cables to your default ISP router also. Run IP over DHCP for all connections, give the MilkV Jupiter router board a ath9k PCIe Atheros Wifi card, run a custom SOCKS5 proxy written in Python on both Jupiters, with X25519, Poly1305, ChaCha20 and Kyber for cryptographic post-quantum protection, with libsodium, PQClean and OpenSSL integration, a firewall (use firejail), pyshark, fail2ban, nftables with Suricata or Zeek (Bro) for LLM traffic scanning in pyshark. It should shut out any threats. After encrypting your traffic on your desktop MilkV Jupiter board w/ PCIe connection to a PCBway computer-class printed circuit board, w/ LiteX and Lattice ECP5 NAND + NOR controllers for memory instead of proprietary SD/eMMC/NVMe. Then wire a ECP5 HSM (Hardware Security Module) Module to hard brick the device in case it gets tampered with. Give it a Modos paper display, Keyboardio model 01 keyboard, 3D printed Ploopy mouse, use passive speakers (like Micca e.g., MB42X) w/ two more chips soldered to the PCBway printed circuit board for support (use a PCM1802 / PCM1808 (TI) ADC and a MAX98357A (Maxim) DAC). Then use a Microsoft Lifecam VX1000 / VX3000 or a Ligtech Quickcam 4000 / Quickcam Express 1999 web cam. Optionally, wire three more MilkV Mars SBCs to the Jupiter workstation board via PCIe inference, if possible via bifurcating or modifying the SBC board. Give each "accelerator" board a smaller PCBway corcuit board with the same modules for memory, ADC / DAC, and HSM. Likewise, use a MNT Reform laptop for programming boards via SiFive development boards. You can wipe amd program boards (like your MilkV Jupiter/Mars SBCs), to erase the proprietary DDR4 training controllers and replace with UberDDR3 via LiteDRAM. But that would require unsoldering and rewiring to a custom modified MilkV Jupiter/Mars board made from PCBway. Use ECP5 FPGAs for DDR3 controller. Now you have a fully libre board!

You can use the Mars SBCs for LLM LAN acceleration as a mini-cloud (like PyTorch or llama.cpp) using open wifi. Install Gentoo on the boards, harden the kernel, secure the bootchain, and when compiling it from source, refuse any proprietary packages and now run it over Sway. Gentoo runs smoothly on RISC-V (and so does Linux From Scratch, although that's a nightmare setting up, let alone maintaining). I would use kvm/qemu and a cuPost too long.

Other than that, use USBguard and Ovrdrive USB flash drives for decryotion via KeePassXC. Flash Gentoo on the boards via Ovrdrive USB. Use openrc instead of systemd when compiling.

I took security and privacy seriously for a minute and it's all a lifestyle problem. I stopped using social media completely, got on Linux, tried to ungoogle my phone etc. It has its limits since you still have to use a messenger app to talk to your family, friends, people at your job, you still carry a location tracking device on you even if you use a dumb phone, all your internet searches still leak very specific data that is processed later, it goes on. It's still worth it to stop handing your data over to the CIA on a silver platter but you won't get much further until not using proprietary platforms is normalized across all society.

Why is everyone acting like nothing's happening? It's obvious that in the next few years we'll have extreme unemployment rates.
"Just learn trades" won't work - guess what, everyone's going to be doing that. I think a prole should be prepared to become indefinitely unemployed, with a very high degree of propability, in the very near (5-10 years) future.
How are you preparing?

shut the fuck up already with your patronizing old man tone, saying bullshit like “ask me how i know” instead of just directly refuting my criticisms. i read your entire post, more than once, because of how stupid it was, and i read all the posts in that chain of replies too, and your entire point is just “do nothing”. retards like you always run to the defense of “i didnt say that” when directly confronted with what you just said, and you’re a hypocrite too because you’re insisting with this performative posturing instead of responding to critiques like what a person with a real point to make would do, and not this waffling coping mechanism wall of text.

>>33400
this is completely useless because it hides context size completely and context quantization. the reason why it's becoming more expensive is because the only bullish use case, programming, demands massive context windows and standard attention requires quadratic time with complexity growing in function of the window size, with quantization making models perform substantially worse in "agentic" use cases. the cheap use case is using these things like google, where I suspect deepseek is yielding profit. you can figure this out by just looking at the pricing tiers.

Why would I respond to an idiot? Rich to accuse me of performative posturing when that's the entirety of your content.

Why do you think tech companies are wasting huge amounts of money on Claude Code licenses instead of alternatives?

>>33415
Cope faggot, the other anon is completely right



 

I want to use Claude to make a FOSS project making which can get me in trouble, especially in my country. I want to leave no trace between my real self and the project, as such I want to buy a claude subscription anonymously. How can I do that? I only found some shady website that claims to resell Claude for usdt. I need to pay with Monero or something like that.

Just use Kimi-K2.6 on OpenRouter with Zero Data Retention.

>>33403
Use deepseek with the claude CLI, China less likely to sell you out maybe



 

And no one can prove me wrong. It even comes with LibreJS.

All these custom browsers and their custom "privacy protecting" techniques don't really help you, they make you glow like a christmas tree, precisely because they're custom.
You have to understand that anonymity isn't about having the coolest tech, it's about not standing out. The only browser you can even hope to stay anonymous with is Tor Browser. Next comes *maybe* Mulvad (browser, not vpn)


… The bareley maintained hardened firefox fork?
Name one reason for using it over librewolf.

Also like AAA gaming is collapsing AND technologically stalling and most games outside AAA games can now be played just fine on a budget iGPU, like does this mean that nvidia is destroying personal computing, or that nvidia will need to re-conceptualize the computer architecture to sell these number crunching components to consumers after the data center bubble collapses and we find out there is not hot demand for each new generation of nvidia cards?

>>33390
Most computers never had separate GPUs in the first place. The largest GPU producer is Intel. Nvidia just had to live with being an enthusiast hardware producer.
>>33383
Resource requirements for modern browsers and encryption are so massive that any computing device capable of them is also more than capable of any other computing task. Video playback is also very computationally expensive, especially with the newer formats companies use to cut bandwidth costs on their end.
I understand the frustration but the whole computing revolution was done by the worst people imaginable with the most CIA ties of any industry. It can still get worse, like when everyone in the world got a locked down ARM computing device that phones home to Google or Apple servers every few minutes and tracks your exact location and every notification you get, but there are objective limits to how bad things can be. You can't feed someone to piranhas if you have already burnt them alive in a cremation furnace.

There is now a whole bunch of AI commentary channels on Youtube about World Wrestling Entertainment. They seem to be all run by the same guy and all have a 50 % chance of having a stroke whenever they say a certain word. And that word is… WWE. You MUST listen to one of these. (No need to give him clicks, there are a lot of reuploads by "fans" now.)

anonymity is over. even if you are a tor user, stylometry is the new deal.

https://www.computerbase.de/news/wirtschaft/ende-der-pseudonyme-im-netz-mit-llms-lassen-sich-im-grossen-ausmass-online-konten-deanonymisieren.96375/

The ComputerBase article (based on the study "Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs") describes the end of "practical anonymity." For users of imageboards like 4chan, leftypol, or similar platforms, this has far-reaching consequences:
  1. The End of "Security by Obscurity"
Previously, anonymity on imageboards relied on the fact that manually correlating thousands of posts was too labor-intensive for an attacker. LLMs now automate this process at near-zero cost.
* Significance: An algorithm can scan hundreds of a user's posts in seconds to build a profile based on interests, jargon, location clues, and activity patterns.
  1. Stylometry as a Digital Fingerprint
Every individual has a specific writing style (sentence structure, word choice, punctuation). LLMs are excellent at recognizing these patterns.
* Significance: Even if you don't mention your name, an LLM can compare your "writing signature" on an imageboard with posts you've written under your real name (e.g., on LinkedIn, professional forums, or letters to the editor). The "Anonymous" mask falls through the sheer structure of your language.
  1. Cross-Platform Identity Linking
The study demonstrates that LLMs can link pseudonyms across different platforms.
* Significance: Those who "shitpost" on an imageboard while maintaining a professional presence elsewhere (e.g., GitHub, X/Twitter) risk these identities being merged. A single minor detail in a post (e.g., a specific local event or a niche technical detail) serves as an anchor point for an LLM to identify the real person behind the post via web search.
  1. Low-Cost Mass Doxing

sounds like a skill issue
I type differently in every post to avoid looking like a samefag

>>33345
I just read a lot so my style changes each time I encounter a new writing style quirk.

>Anon it doesn't matter if you use Tor, i2p or whatever, the glowies already have nanomachines in your bloodstream that can give you erectile dysfunction if they want to.

Ok smartass, explain me how am I supposed to communicate then. Meet at an empty parking lot? blink in morse code? smoke signals?

Valid point. To some degree, future posts can be made more anonymous by having an AI rephrase them. But in any case, assume your entire history of imageboard posts is revealed. Even with current technology, the only thing preventing that from being traced back to you is that nobody has bothered to do so and publish it. They wouldn't even have to target you specifically — governments will (and probably already do) take advantage of this, gather the information in a database, and eventually some database will leak. A private actor might do the same just to prove a point. When AGI arrives, one or the other of these scenarios will almost certainly happen, though by then it may not be your biggest concern.

By the way — regarding AIs and anonymity: websites now track literally every mouse movement, and they use that to deanonymize you. Why do you think these CAPTCHAs always require JavaScript, even though the images could easily be presented on a series of static HTML pages? Because they track your typing and mouse-movement habits to deanonymize you. The picture-selection task itself is just a humiliation ritual — the challenge on its own couldn't stop modern bots.

Sovereign Tech Fund invests over €1 million in KDE software development
https://kde.org/announcements/sovereign-tech-fund-invests-kde/
It finally seems that they are realising how much would it be to pay the developers or hire a developer instead of paying licenses to Windows

What am I supposed to put on /opt anyway? and please don't say "third party software"

>>33355
I built xmms2 a few years ago, because the architecture intrigued me, but couldn't get any of the good frontends to compile. As this is a port of the original xmms to gtk+4 incompatible with any of the legacy plugins, it's basically audacious but worse.

>>33399
Whether you install something into /usr/local or /opt is largely a matter of taste, unless the software is distributed as a portable directory or it doesn't have 'make uninstall' and you want the option to simply 'rm -r /package/software /opt/software'. Way back when i was on arch, some packages also put themselves into /opt, which felt deeply offensive to me. In contrast OmniOS consistently installs every package not part of the "base system" into /opt.

You know what annoys me about all these privacy nerds? They always treat privacy like some isolated, abstract thing. They talk a lot about privacy, but they forget what the point of privacy is: minimizing behavioral data. Because the whole point of data extraction is to use it directly to control us! The corpos are mapping our psyches; they're creating digital twins of us to manipulate us! Oh, you use Qubes and Graphene OS? You've gained NOTHING by continuing to use X, YouTube, Amazon, and TikTok! No matter which privacy community you go to, nobody will talk about that. Instead, they talk about long-outdated technologies like browsers and network filters. Hello?! The browser is the least of your problems. The real state-of-the-art data extraction/behavioral manipulation is happening on the big account-based corporation apps like X, TikTok, etc. All these privacy communities are so deceitful because they focus on completely the wrong things.

If they're worried about who's the "real deal", they're both larpers.



 

What do you think about it? On its face it seems like a straightforward improvement over C/C++ and a good way to modernize development in their typical niches.
On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious. "Let's rewrite everything in Rust", forcing it into existing software without a clear use case other than just "it's better", overstating the language's capabilities and robustness, very much a kind of "toxic positivity" around it as in the whole Linux Kernel shitshow earlier this year, and the fact that it's being pushed by corpos and the US government. It all feels very weird.

>>31830
I think Rust (the tech) is good but the Rust community has weird behavior. They insist that everything needs to be rewritten in Rust, which is just stupid. But still I believe that Rust's goals are very good, and most junior C or C++ developers write worse code than junior Rust programmers. The language and the compiler just catches so many bugs.

This thread also reminded me to actually start learning Rust. Here are some resources, if someone is interested…

it's always been that way, even scott adams understood that the software industry advanced to the whims of "pointy haired bosses", what's absent here is that tech workers have an incentive to shill technologies they're experienced in because it makes their CVs more valuable, closing the hype circuit. i mean it is what it is, the industry has never ever advanced the correct course.

as an absolute retard how do so many of you have such strong opinions on tech shit. i can barely get started learning
