Hi I'm looking to make my own website to host articles and stories I've written. I wanted to do Wordpress but like I found out its going to put ads on my screen. I've got no money and no time to learn programming skills. Is there an open source version of Wordpress where it doesn't monetize everything and where I can change my font?

Also, static sytes generators like HUGO are a thing

>>22781
If a site like neocities is taking care of the hosting, and your password is half-decent, and you aren't accepting user input on your site, then it's extremely unlikely your site will get hacked.

If you find that fine to use, great. The plus side is that they can automatically manage blog things like pagination (the page numbers at the bottom) and post tags.

>>22778
whtevr method u decide on usin, share the url under this thread. if ur worried about le hackers, i'd be happy to pentest it free of charge.

I was also thinking about running my own blog. But then I realized, that I can just use leftypol to dump my schizo ramblings. This is much easier!

>>22778
buy a domain for 2 euro and find a free hosting service i use www.freehosting.com

1. Are there any browser plugin options for using face detection to block youtube videos from suggestions / searches if the thumbnail has a detectable human face? Not anyone's face in particular, just any face.
2. If not, does this seem like a good beginner project for someone that hasn't made a browser plugin before, or am I underestimating the scope of such a thing?

>Do human faces creep you out or something lmao.
It's not so much the faces as much as the context of their presence. I don't like that it's normal to show one's face on youtube to the point where it seems like the algorithm incentivizes it, and it's trendy to do a "face reveal" if you don't already show it.
In elementary school they has whole days dedicated to teaching internet safety, several tapes and stories about it. I strongly believe most people should be at most pseudonymous online when practical, so anything that stands to erode that is icky to me.

Showing your face on the internet should've never been normalized.

Bro really asked for an extension to hide soy faces on Youtube, thats hilarious.
Im all for it.

>>29029
Boomers have been posting their faces online since the mid-late 2000s

>>29029
That's why you wanted to filter vids with faces? I honestly thought it was because videos with soyfaces in the thumbnail are usually shit quality slop, and by blocking those search results the signal to noise ratio would be better.

Some soyjak party anon broke into 4chan after 4 years of work and dumped the source code + db with users and hashed passwords.
/ISG/ is currently talking about it.
There's a very active thread about this on kiwifarms
https://kiwifarms.st/threads/4chan.37222/page-475#post-21102680
And dev on twitter is doing some analysis on the code.

Apparently 4cins is running on a 10 EOL'd FreeBSD on php 5 (amazing that it took 4 years of work to the soyjak hacker and not just 30 minutes)

No. This is from the 3rd-parry archive 4plebs, and they classify memeflags as "Israel" in their statistics based on the joke/meme that they're all supposed to be Jewish. It's not literally true.

Pic related is the actual number of Israeli flag posts from the search. Slightly higher than Mexico in that list but not one trillion or whatever.

>Why would other anti-establishment underground anonymous factions be working against each other?

As a bored refugee, I think it is kind of hilarious.

>>Are we at risk here?
nobody is at risk except those that were stupid enough to give personally identifiable information to the website formally known as the asshole of the internet.

>>Are we next?
I assume all chan admins are taking a look at their codebases, but it sure looks like hiro (probably misspelled, but the guy that purchased 4chan from moot), really neglected even basic web practices. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

this titty konata was drawn by tf2 youtuber starykrow, for those who want the source

>Why would other anti-establishment underground anonymous factions be working against each other?
Because 'anti-establishment' is a meaningless label.

How the fuck does one make a messageboard without paying money I fucking hate this shit

Fuck capitalism

you could use cloudflare to reverse proxy, but you'd have to pay for separate business tier internet with a static ip and better upload speeds, which isn't available in all locations plus its gonna cost like $80 a month which is way more than budget VPS's

>>28723
maybe ask the leftypol.org admins to create a board on this site and volunteer to mod it full time.

>>29051
Self-hosting things in 2025 is a surefire way to ensure you'll spend thousands of hours fending off hackerman AI bots from state actors trying to spread their funnyware everywhere.
Not to mention that the target audience of imageboards will be very drawn towards getting lulz out of your infosec mistakes.

It might be worth a shot considering our commissars are always down to create ghost boards that noone uses like /tech/

No. The last thing we need is another zombie board with one post a week.

I'm not joking.
>their phones are more ergonomic and have a beautiful curved display
>their vertical foldables are almost as cool as Motorolla Razr
>their custom ROM has a pretty, minimalistic and ergonomic UI and has extra features that are actually useful
>their smartwatches are actually pleasant to use thanks to their rotating bezels
>One UI is based on Android so it's more customizable, yet it works smoothly and has sane defaults and nice default apps that seemlessly blend with the system like GNOME or KDE software
It's a shame they're proprietards who don't help FLOSS and patent everything. If only we could take over…
10 posts omitted.

>>27112
all proprietards are shit
but apple is a special class of shit that i avoid in every way. everything about it is so hostile to user freedom. the overpricing, the glossy screens that drive you mad reflecting everything in the back, the lack of usable connectors/ports, the locked down OS that barely allows any configuration, the calculator keys for the laptop keyboard, the incredibly short charger cables, the lock-in (hard to run dual boot linux on apple pcs).
just everything about it is so anti-user, and then you have their captive audience that literally overpaid for shit products in the 90s just so that their beloved company wouldn't go out of business.

>>27112
I got my first samsung 2 months ago and its not that much better than my moto g tbh. Motorola has a better side panel feature and gaming mode

>>27216
There are many good-quality Android devices but the only interfaces that can rival One UI are Sailfish OS and sxmo imho. And that's 'cause I haven't yet tried those.

>>27115
yes. we are aware that people that have no idea what they are buying are being taken advantage of by Apple. that is why people try so hard to tell them android phones are better.

android phones do more, and cost less. the average consumer that is a brain dead idiot that knows nothing about phones would be better off buying a $200 android that does indeed Just Work.

The best phone I ever had was a huawei P20 demonstrating that whatever the despotic chaebols of worst korea can force their subjects to do, the chinese can copy and make better everytime

I personally wanna make a flipphone just to see how much is actually needed to do that. I wanna know if SIM cards are comically overengineered or comically simple, it's gotta be one or the other.

I think visiting meatspin dot com when I was 13 is partially responsible for my obsession with big-dicc tgirls.

>>29115
You had to press SO FUCKING HARD on those battery things to get a percentage readout, if the thing worked at all.

yeah i already do all this except i just dont have a phone at all

>>29136
God has a plan for all of us.


 

How would you further overengineer USB-C?

make it square and let it be plugged in 4 different ways that all work the same

What is your opinion on these free VPNs on FDroid? I'm currently testing Calyx VPN. How is it possible, that there are so many free VPNs out there? This is cool but also kinda sus…
3 posts omitted.

If you're that worried just use Tor at this point.

just pay for mullvad or if you care enough use tor lol

I think I will just use X-VPN. I trust the chinese glowies more, than these "non-profit" VPNs on Fdroid.

calyx vpn is nice, it's hosted by a non-profit

But it is funded by George Soros

In fivem downloads go all the way 0 and keep trying over and over if the archive is more than 30MB, and eventually fail

In every single browser they fail immediately after awhile

I can navigate normally but downloads in particular fail all the time, VPN fixes it but then my connection becomes incredibly slow, can anyone help me? I really don't want to reset windows
3 posts omitted.

>>28915
I tried with several different browsers and all of them show the same error

The same error happens in fivem too and other platforms that are not even browsers

Only way to download stuff constantly without failing is using vpn

In the cellphone it works fine tho

>>28919
No, it's fine on my phone. Only in the desktop this shit happens

I thought it could be something related to my network adapter but if that was the case wouldn't downloads fail with vpn too???

>>28881
Could anyone help me?

>>28881
Could be windows+chrome+isp security overlapping and fucking each other, detecting each other as threats.

>>28922
Maybe try booting with an ubuntu live usb to discard any hardware related issues, if they don't fail under ubuntu, your windows installed is being fucked by some malware

This is the nth-ish article I’ve seen on human brain cells being exceptionally better than the brain cells of other organisms when it comes to computer processing. This shit is being stacked on top of the now confirmed neurologically controlled prosthetics available in some parts of Africa and Europe. Is this shit real? Will the future of computation seriously be man-machine hybrids?

That makes an uneasy feeling. What if a brain thinks. It is in a black box
