i hang around the end page of boards here to do some archiving. My problem is that i have this ocd-adhd (idk what it is) thing that makes it so that it's impossible to archive thing since everytime i open my own file i always worry (and believe) that i deleted something from said file or edit said file or mess it. is there any software that could help ? a software or something that could prevent me from deleting or messing or editing the file ?

If you're really worried, just back up your folder. You can try time machine, or something for windows. Also sometimes the file system you use can be used to keep snapshots, like APFS, btrfs, not sure about windows.

With that, you don't have to worry about losing your data.

I am currently on a tight budget (Broke uygha alert) whilst looking for a new mini PC. Due to being broke, i'm leaning towards buying an intel I3-1220P NUC since it's cheaper and has thunderbolt, but given recent events with Israel, would it be worthwhile to consider getting a more expensive AMD mini PC instead (since only the newer AMD mini PCs come with thunderbolt)?

Talk about why every single site except reddit and fbi.gov has been complete and utterly abandoned.

>Interesting things going on

Browsers are all forcing https by default. On the surface this sounds like a good idea but in reality it's part of a larger plan of control.
Website owners are now at the mercy of the cert authorities. Host something they dont like? you cert gets revoked and now your site wont load on 99% of web browsers.
you have been shutdown.

>What is the dead internet theory?

Dead internet is partly caused by a generational problem, zoomers just want to be where they're friends are. it's understandable, we even did the
same back in the 2000s. everyone was on AIM and myspace. The only difference is those platforms actually did allow free speech back then. now the
internet has become more centralized and a handful of big corps run it all. they are in charge of what gets said on their platforms. not you.

>big techs goal

Big tech is fighting a future war. They know the young are the future. It’s about indoctrination. They are building their vision for the future. A dumbed down controlled population.

I had to buy some train ticket the other day, and the website let me do it without needing an account, it just emailed me a pdf of the ticket that I showed to the conductor from my phone using a random pdf reader from F-Droid.

Some time ago I had to buy some computer parts, I looked online, put the thing I needed into the virtual "shopping cart", and when I tried to pay it asked me if I wanted to log in, register, or continue as a guest. I clicked to continue, filled in the billing stuff, paid by card… and then got an email that everything is in order and they thank me for buying there and oh by the way, they made an account for me, here's my password.

Why let me buy stuff without registration if buying automatically registers me?? If I knew it would do that I would have just bought the thing in person.

’d like to interject for a moment…

…What you’re referring to as windows, is in fact, NSA/windows, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, NSA plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning NSA system made useful by the NSA corelibs, spyware and data collection system components comprising a full surveillance system.

Many computer users run a modified version of the NSA system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of the NSA data collection system which is widely used today is often called Windows, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NSA system, developed by the NSA.

There really is a Windows, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Windows is the piece of trash: the program in the system that steals the system resources from the other programs that you run. This piece of crap is an essential part of an NSA system, but useless in practice; it can only function in the context of a complete NSA system. Windows is normally used in combination with the NSA surveillance system: the whole system is basically NSA with Windows added, or NSA/Windows. All the so-called Windows systems are really distributions of NSA/Windows!

Most retro collectors upgrade their old rigs with solid state devices that emulate harddrives and floppies. Yet they do like hot rodding these old rigs and making them sing as it is a fraction of the cost of getting impressive modern over clocked hardware and you can get massive gains.

as always nostalgia is really just pining for youth. as a boomer, OP would have been a grown-ass adult when these things first got on the scene. no wonder there's little nostalgia for shitty tech

The biggest thing that changed was users were far less babied in the beginning. A bunch of users early on looked at how expensive word processors were and simply cloned Electric Pencil themselves thus why you have hundreds of cheap knock offs all very similar as users just programmed their own word processor so they didn't have to pay $100 for one then they turned around and put it on the market. Also why you had the dos war on the TRS-80 as instead of just dealing with TRS-Dos being shit the users base just wrote their own improved clone and again put it on the market. I mean back in the late 70s the idea of a computer that shipped without a programming language and machine code monitor packed in was unthinkable.

I just want eyewear that acts as a monitor. I don't want "smart glasses" that have their own OS, apps, etc. I just want some eyewear that lets me see whatever is playing on my phone or my PC while I walk around the house, work out, do dishes, etc.

Is there anything like this?

Ok anons, here's a subject we should discuss without glowing all over ourselves: What would you recommend a third year CS uni student (not me btw) to get on to the path of becoming le hackermmanzz?

1 - take a networking class if your university cs program has one as an elective
2 - You usually cant get into hacking right away, usually that happens after being a cybersecurity analyst or something first.
3 - Certifications: You have to get some cybersecurity (and possibly general IT) certifications. OSCP is a good one. You have to do your own research here as there are a ton of cybersec certifications and there are new ones being made. Try to focus on the ones you see most commonly in job postings

it was hilarious reading threads on places like hackernews when gemini was getting some hype. the captains of industry entrepreneurs there were seething that their entire identity built around making some js transpilation 2ms faster for their FAGMAN master was being threatened by this incompatible version of the web.
too bad gemini couldn't appeal to the normies much but i still like it, maintain a page there and still read what people post there. it's refreshing to be free of the gazillion social web tie-ins and irrelevant tracking and other trash on every www page.
gemini is not free from the threat of webification though. it could easily support javascript by having the server just serve js and popular clients would just need to add an interpreter for it, bringing us back to square one. so gemini wouldn't have been the saviour even if it became more popular.

they flooded the standards bodies with their people too, making it more unwieldy and complex just so they could serve web "apps" through it, not just pages.
