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.

>>27149
Dodge might even work better than lighten only.

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.

I really tired of caring my privacy. I don't know do I really care about my privacy? Maybe it's time to stop. Also I have OCD which makes me check every privacy settings and browser settings all the time. I don't know what to do anons I really don't I'm so confused. Should I enable telemetry all the way and don't care? Should I disable telemetry and be private as much as possible?

Vimium exists for firefox. The latest version is maintained by some chinese guy https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-c

>>27096
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.

How do enterprise software companies charge so much for their products when there are FOSS alternatives for them? It makes sense for applications used by end-users but I don't know why network firewalls, private DNS servers, proxies, VPNs, API gateways, linux distros, server monitoring tools and RDBMS systems need to be paid for. Do they provide a benefit that goes above and beyond their FOSS alternatives?

Palo Alto Networks' recent growth got me thinking about this. What do they do that their competitors or many other FOSS tools don't? I've also noticed that the prevalence of proprietary slop is much lower in development/devops than it is in cybersecurity and network administration. Maybe it's just my soydev bias talking, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Small correction: RDBMS, not RDBMS systems. Made a little mistake right there.

>>27073
corporate development is 50/50, devops is solid proprietary territory. consumer software development and webdev is for the most part some shade of f/oss

"no one ever got fired for buying ibm" the corporate structure isn't really good at managing software, but most companies are nonetheless profitable enough they can afford the expensive inefficiency that is corporate software

as a side note, it isn't a dichotomy, many big open source projects are also overpriced enterprise products either through a license scheme or by allocating developer time and support based on donations. enterprise java and c# libraries follow this patter for example

>>27075
>devops is solid proprietary territory
I'm not a devops engineer, but I have some experience with deploying software to production. I personally have never used a proprietary tool for monitoring, build automation and testing. Of course, I happen to be an outlier and almost all major cloud providers have their own proprietary version of every major open source software.

Also, do corporations not have any privacy concerns when they give such granular access to their data to other corporate entities? It's one thing to use cloud providers because on-prem systems are not always feasible, and another thing to have your entire office suite on Microsoft. At least simple things like these ought to be self-hosted.

I do wounder why nobody got fired for buying IBM but the same meme didn't apply to AT&T. With AT&T selling Unix workstations and servers while having had unlimited DoD funding along with running all of USs telecommunications. Yet somehow American enterprises in the 1980s saw IBM as the 800 lb gorilla and not AT&T.

>>27073
Because buying services always wins out when bean counters and clueless MBAs want a solution to be:
>'fast'
>'cheap'
>'reliable'
In the grand scheme of things 'IT' is a giant scam.

Has the FSF or any adjacent organizations or companies tried to bankroll some hardware again? It mostly seems like some amount was thrown at the Lemote Yeeloong MIPS laptops, but also that they were only publicly sold for one or two years in 2011. Same thing with semi-endorsing the BeagleBone Black, but the SBC space has developed further since 2013 for better and worse. Imagine a RISC-V board flashed with Libre/Coreboot or OpenFirmware, that starts up an install of Guix or Trisquel. Or (switching from personal computers,) even that a "dumb" monochromatic laser printer that doesn't require deblobbing the firmware like Pine64's soldering iron.

>>27066
longsoon or something like that. you have to look at china for this stuff, many manufacturers don't even have wikipedia entries

>>27067
>Loongson
That's what the Lemote MIPS chip was designed by, yes. For better or worse, it seems like Loongson continued on by separating away from MIPS and spinning off into their own 'LoongArch' thing. I know a non-mainland chinese poster that gets huffy because RISC-V "stole" from MIPS, even though most of the RISC architectures are connected. Also that the MIPS architecture technically still exists as being stewarded by Ingenic and/or Imagination. Pic related.

Allegedly one can still buy a Loongson computer and/or an Ingenic SBC, but you have to directly contact the company themselves as it seems to have been relegated to state contractor purgatory in the same way that half the Chinese-developed Linux distros and limited run RISC-V SBCs and Jolla (for Finland or Russia, don't know specifics) are also in.

There's also the EOMA68's successor in libreSOC, but that seems to have fallen into a mess of nerd sniping from switching architectures, designing an open hardware GPU, turning that into an experimental vector processor, and switching the description language, and attempting to get volunteer work from college students.

>>27071
no, I'm pretty sure they sell consumer products that you can buy that use their latest risc-v/loongarch machines. and they are not the only ones

>The only build system I know which isn't terrible is cargo
cmake gets hate, but I don't understand why. scons is an abomination.

Just use XMake if you can

>>27021
Every Makefile or ninja recipe generated by cmake ties back into other cmake binaries or scripts. I have often had these builds fail in mysterious ways and with no discernable point where to start debugging. Then there is the compiler flag handling, which doesn't automatically pick up on your environment variables and can't be completely overridden at the configure or build stages, making static linking impossible in most cases.

Why are you bitching about build systems in the Firefox FUD thread?

>>26920
>cargo
How does cargo actually handle dynamic dependencies and config.h-style compile-time options? As far as i remember the build recipe was a literal markup file.
>>27023
For a second i thought you meant a discontinued make preprocessor previously used by X.org, but that's imake.

In 2024 reddit will introduce heavenbanning, the hypothetical practice of banishing a user from a platform by causing everyone that they speak with to be replaced by AI models that constantly agree and praise them, but only from their own perspective, is entirely feasible with the current state of AI/LLMs.

Do you use or have any opinions on for lack of a better term collaborative version control hosting websites? As non-registered user there seems to be constant issues with github search, excessive slow-downs, and of course there are concerns with over-centralization. However it seems to be one of the best places for marketing projects to others. Here are some collaborative version control hosts am aware of:

- Github: https://github.com
- Gitlab: https://gitlab.com
- Gitea: https://gitea.com
- Gogs: https://gogs.io
- Bitbucket: https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket
- SourceHut: https://sourcehut.org

Some of these require self-hosting, or a paid service neither of which is my preference. Looking forward to hearing your responses.

it depends. do you have an idle server, a domain, and time to maintain your instance? if not, codeberg seems like a good enough option

cgit and let people send you patches in private by email

git is supposed to be decentralized
centralizing it is basically contrary to its design
just host your repos on ssh and maybe have a repo browser on your own domain (costs less than your nettofurikusu and other consooomer subscriptions), simple as.

you wake up and start checking out whats happening in the world right now: a bunch of big global events are going down that you cant really change. when you try to voice your disagreement about whats happening, youre told to shut up.

after that, you hop on a job recruitment website and throw in an application for a potential gig. but theres a good chance you wont get a formal rejection notice; and if you do, it probably wont explain why you werent picked compared to someone else. this lack of info leaves you wondering if the outcome was because of something you did or didnt do. after all, the flaw cant be systemic.

next, you check out an online dating app looking for some romantic connections.if youre a guy, youre probably sending out a bunch of messages, but youre not getting any replies. this leaves you wondering if you need to jazz up your profile or improve your messages, even though the reason for the radio silence isnt clear. after all, the flaw cant be with the app, just look at its popularity! its possible that your efforts just arent being noticed. on the flip side, if youre a woman, you might be flooded with messages, many of which are just plain inappropriate, misogynistic or objectifying. this unwanted attention stems from your gender, and no matter what you do on the app, you have to deal with it.

when you go to the grocery store to pick up some food, youre bummed to find out that a product you always buy is suddenly gone, and no ones explaining why. on top of that, items that used to be reasonably priced have shot up in cost. meanwhile, youre hearing reassurances about how strong "our" economy is. all of this happens without anyone asking for your opinions or giving you a heads up; its just presented as something you have to deal with, usually framed as being for your own good.

trying to use proprietary software for work, you find out its had a major update that changes a lot of the features you relied on. they say the updates are meant to make it better, and they want you to get used to the changes.

youre informed about an upcoming election, which happens every four years or so and is filled with claims about how important your vote and opinions are. youre assured that this election is super crucial, even the most important one in history, just like they said last time. even though the overall story suggests you cant really influence the bigger system, youre still expected to take part in decidingPost too long.
