Because my ISP logs would be filled with connections to Tor and with Firefox I can mod the fuck out of it with userChrome.css etc.

if you use tor in any way at all, you're as likely to be monitored as if you used it for everything. the only difference is your tor traffic will consist of things you don't want your isp to see, making it more of a target.
>with Firefox I can mod the fuck out of it with userChrome.css
just run the tor daemon and configure it as a proxy in firefox

>Isn't this even worse as I'll make my Tor browsing a lot more easy to track?
as i alluded to in >>28621 the tor projects insistence on a unalterable stock configuration is more fud than anything. from this angle you're deanonymized at any point where you deviate from the average tech-illiterate person's browsing experience. if you enabled all of firefox's anti-fingerprinting features, use a good adblocker/umatrix and maybe spoof your user-agent, you should be as anonymous as it gets, sans whatever they patch into the tor browser. making your browser non-persistent, having an addon periodically clear all cached/site data and disabling sessionstore altogether are also good ideas.

ITT we list non-chromium, non-firefox browsers

It doesn't have to be a "good alternative", the point is to look into alternatives and then assess them.

I'll start with ones I can think of off the top of my head:
- konqueror (kde, seems to support multiple engines, supports plugins, didn't have ublock last time I tried it)
- surf (suckless, but at least it's moddable at compile)
- lynx (invisible island, sixel support, cookie support)
- links
- w3m (might have sixel support idk, don't remember if it does cookies but probably, supports some html tags better than lynx)
- curl (prints file from url to stdout) to pipe into other stuff
- wget (downloads file from url)

not really as an user but I remember when I was writing my web renderer it was one of the codebases I used as reference. like with many old codebases I feel like developers back then weren't as concerned about readability and maintainability as we are today, so these codebases can be kind of hard to work with

OpenZFS Glownonymous 07-03-25 09:38:05 No.28675[Reply]

Does anyone here have experience with OpenZFS? The port for Windows specifically.

I'm considering changing my external hard drives to ZFS for its checksum capabilities, but there's a big catch - I need to be able to read the drives on Windows. A quick look at OpenZFS and I'm under the impression it's unreliable and I shouldn't try it in "production".

Thoughts?

Glownonymous 07-03-25 11:01:17 No.28676

For ZFS in general, consider using raid instead, which has better support, and keep in mind scrubs can impact hdd longevity.

Glownonymous 07-03-25 11:20:54 No.28678

~~>>28677~~
If you're planning to mosty going to use it as cold storage, vfat+raid would also be worth considering. In contrast to ntfs and exfat it has native rw support on nearly every system, though speed and error recovery will suffer.

Future of Chinese CPUs and computer technology Anonymous 22-09-24 16:11:33 No.26471[Reply]

In recent years China has made significant strides in developing its own semiconductor industry with things like Huawei's HiSilicon, Loongson, StarFive, MilkV, etc. I would call that China outlasted the US sanctions barrage from the US. Chinese investment in fabrication technologies, while not anyway near cutting edge is getting to be near good enough. With things like Intel looking shaky and the rise of Risc-V and ARM we are steadily moving forwards towards the hopeful future of open standards, hardware and software, where most consumer computation devices will have built in Chinese backdoors instead of American ones.

>RISC-V
Is there anything to point at this not being wasted effort barking up the wrong tree like MIPS before it? The parallels are pretty obvious, both are teaching ISAs getting horribly mutated out in the wild. The advantage is that every computer engineering graduate has implemented RV32I in their coursework not that the architecture itself is well designed. I've yet to see a superscalar RV processor you can put your hands on as a regular person or the HPC accelerators people have been teasing for 5 years.

Does Windows have any desirable features that aren't just "this software I use uses a rootkit"?
Is the sole thing keeping Windows relevant right now a glaring system-wide vulnerability? Like if the Titanic came pre-installed with the iceberg and made said iceberg it's main attraction?

Anonymous 14-02-25 18:12:45 No.28498

software that is incompatible with the other common OSes and it came preinstalled in ibm pcs (and clones) back in the day. these two things were done to achieve a "network effect" by which developers make software for windows because people use it, and people use it because the software they need was made for windows

imo the only reason gnu/linux software doesn't do the same is because it isn't popular enough and it's users are usually computer people that know what a rootkit is. there are apps that use rootkits on android, for example
