I would guess that's a single partition drive with MBR partition table.

That's sort of cheating the question isn't it? But anyway would probably prefer the GNU userland all things being equal.

FreeBSD/OpenBSD are fantastic as a server OS. It's no larp

>>27206
NTA. My opinion is that if you have the time to learn a new OS and there are significant advantages to using BSDs over GNU/Linux distros then I have no reason to stop you from doing that. Either way, if you use GNU/Linux, BSDs, de-Googled Android or even 9front I consider you my ally.

>>27206
openbsd has shit virtualization, no cgroups (so no granular resource allocation), no containerization, nor anything you would actually expect from a modern server, not even load balancing. to say that it is good for servers in 2024 is a meme from people that saw someone repeat a talking point from the 90s and uncritically accepted it, because unknown thing must be good, am I right fellow imageboard users?

>>27208
Remember being pretty excited when vmm/vmd was released, and for a few OpenBSD releases there seemed to be pretty good progress made with it. Used OpenBSD for quite a while on my laptop, think what made it nice was the sane defaults and ease of configuration. You don't have to think about what virtualization or firewall solution you're going to use because you just use the one in the base system, and configure it slightly and intelligently for your use case. Lots of people even use CWM, xterm, and mg, or vi.

How does this compare to briar?

>>27029

"TorX" is a library, not the two proof-of-concept clients, so I'm not going to talk about "we have audio messages, but not voice chat and video chat" those features only exist or don't yet exist in the user interface, which is outside the scope of the library.

TorX, the library, supports P2P and group chats, and supports pushing any type of data, in the form of file transfers and custom protocols, over those connections to groups, individual peers (private messages), and individuals.

Regarding Briar:

So I haven't used Briar (it failed to install on my phone last time I tried), but based on my recollection of reviewing some of the source code and documentation, Briar is designed more with "resilience" in mind than anonymity. It's a P2P encrypted mesh network more than anything else, which is a cool concept aimed at developing countries.

However, they've taken a "kitchen sink" route of feature development, and developed everything in the user-land, so alternative clients (and desktop clients) lag vastly behind their "mobile first" clients. Their code-base is bloated and the underlying protocols are (as far as I can tell) not well separated.

My development method has been a focus on simplicity, separation, and non-redundancy to ensure auditability, both in the proof-of-concept UI layers and the library layer. (do one thing and do it well, at least in the library)

Importantly:

good job anon

>Single-use onions for friend requests (once you connect to your friend the first time, their onion gets destroyed and you both create fresh onions. This makes it safe to share friend requests over insecure methods like telephone, Twitter, etc, without the glowies being able to monitor them once your friend connects the first time)
Really interesting concept for a messaging app anon. I wonder if spinning up a lot of onions in that way would attract attention from the ISP or other threats.
>I'm currently the sole developer. I've reached a plateau where development is stable and so I'm looking for devs.
Imagine if 50 devs got involved and quickly got it operational and usable by normies.

My new laptop finally arrived. No idea what to do. On the one hand for business applications, which do some of now, and might in the future, it's better. On the other hand am not used to it, and there is a requirement to run Linux for grad-school. Wouldn't know how to pick a distribution at this point either. Seems like there are multiple which are pretty good for software development (e.g. gentoo, nix, guix, etc.)

>>27156
If you know how to use a chroot to get software targeting "desktop linux" to work, pick your favorite distro that works on the hardware. Otherwise you should probably go with debian.

>>27157
>desktop linux
hah, not familiar, think have run chroot before though… Now that think of it not sure even feel up to setting up a new PC at the moment…

90% of proprietary software with a linux port only tests on ubuntu and often expects systemd, dbus, etc. to be present.
>there are multiple which are pretty good for software development (e.g. gentoo, nix, guix, etc.)
Good for software development doesn't mean le hacker distro. It means software you need for development is already pre-packaged, which is nearly always the case on debian.

>>27163
>90% of proprietary software with a linux port only tests on ubuntu and often expects systemd, dbus, etc. to be present.
It's been awhile, last heard Ubuntu was due to be phased out for PopOS! due to the Canonical Amazon deal, or something of the like. Guess shouldn't be surprised about what you're saying anyway.

>It means software you need for development is already pre-packaged, which is nearly always the case on debian.
That's fair, and Devaun (as the distro still run on my non-Mac laptop) is most familiar to me.

Bumping because yeah I made some accounts with a cock.li email. Think twitch and duolingo, could be more.

cock.li was step #0 in the trustworth anonymous email guide I posted on this board before the disk crash that also got lost in said disk crash. would be said to see it go since while cock.li has bad reputation, it is still good enough to springboard onto other email providers until eventually springboarding onto protonmail which has good reputation. the downside with cock.li is that the operators are kinda chuddy last time I looked

Only ever used it for shitposting, but much obliged OP. Thanks for looking out.

I'm more interested in that reverse colors effect on the first picture.

>>27145
Something like this? With GIMP, start with a black and white picture, invert the colours, duplicate the layer, set the top layer to lighten only; colourize the bottom layer and apply some blur to it.

Dodge might even work better than lighten only.

>Only go there for tech support in case no YouTube.
Usually go to Stackoverflow, or Github issues for this sort of thing. Should probably be reading the documentation a little more, and even the source code since half the time these libraries are just wrappers 500 line wrappers for something else that does all the work.

Neat!

I think you should never stop caring about your privacy. As it by itself is a form to harm you.

Let's say you comment something controversial or give out personal opinion, people can back trace you and know who you are and use said information against you.
Privacy is your basic right and you should learn to express it!
And no! You don't have to throw away everything. Logically you should do it both ways, if you want to use Facebook? Fine! Twitter? Fine! Instagram? Fine! You want to use social media on your phone? Fine!
Just know about said dangers when sharing information with said or who. The same goes for browsing the internet and certain activities.

If you are wanting to search or find controversial information which is banned lets say in America (Yes Land of the not so free nowadays!). It is always important to have a sense of what you use the technology for. So ordinarily you'd use tor browser or Tails as a disposable operating system for your activities.

TLDR: You can practice opsec as it is a good and healthy technical skill to learn about especially in todays world and it is a necessary skill! But you don't have to give away and sacrifice everything in the name of 'privacy' for a noname or unknown threat.

>>26822
I gave up for the most part. Its impossible now, if you step in a Target and buy something they probably have ai algos identify your face and track ur cc transactions. The best that can be done is harm reduction, just dont leave your name and address on obvious shit like social media or search results. Also you can DMCA any links that out your private info. I spent a day doing that and it paid for itself already as someone who was trying to sue me couldnt find me and gave up

>>26822
Paranoia is based. Just don't overdo it. For starters, try not to constantly check your browser settings like David Hume. Also, compartmentalize your public (WhatsApp, "social" media) and private (private messaging, darknet) life.
>>27107
>you can be identified in public spaces
No shit, Sherlock. That's not an argument against privacy but an argument in favor of compartmentalization.
