I'm kinda novice at these things, but I started to install gentoo linux into my computer for learning. If I don't implement secure boot during the installation process how hard it would be to implement after the installation process?

Sorry for bad english.

>>26824
Secure boot only exists to deligitimize non MS OSs. I guarantee you no one will ever install a rootkit on your PC, your only potential threat vector is probably the feds taking all your electronics for shits and giggles, because you torrented. I just make sure to dump everything illegal on an encrypted storage partition.

I dont think it would be very hard but I feel Secure Boot for end users is mostly pointless.
It's a lot more hassle than the protection its giving you from very specific attacks that you are unlikely to be targeted by. In enterprise it makes sense, but not for us.

I find so much electronics on the street in my town. All my hifi speakers and some wharfdales I dont use, printers, flat screen tvs, a box full of manga VHS I didnt keep cause no player (well I kept 3)..my amp, the busted PA speakers Im using as a table for my laptop right now. I love making as use for this stuff. Today I found a flat screen tv/DVD combo, and althought the screen was cracked I got a cd to play. I put in a throw away just like last time cause these thing eat cds. Cracked screen had a nice aesthetic and whilst I was fkn with the menu that I couldnt read, I was trying to dim the screen to save on power. For some reason I went through every menu the function obscured, even tho I pretty much knew Id exhausted the screen options. I did this until I selected a function that locked the settings and so turned it off to reset it. Of course it wouldnt turn on again from standby and is basically fuarrrked now. So there goes my short lived attempt at having a cd player in my kitchin next to the radio I also found. I even tried pluggin my PS4 into as this turns on my other tv when it boots up thru the hdmi. This didnt work however. Im gonna leave it til tmr, I think my only other option is a remote of amazon. I just wanna play some tunes on this glitchy fuarrrked up thing.
You have any good salvage?

only small stuff like sata cables because they break often so it is good to have spares
throw away the stuff once you are done with it and/or you don't need it anymore, don't become a hoarder

Recently my asshole father installed a bunch of cameras all over the house, after a sleepless night where he threatened to kick me out and accused me of stealing his iphone and razor. So it was either cameras or a homeless shelter. With how little privacy I have now (I used to cook food and talk to myself for hours in the kitchen, dont feel comfortable doing that anymore with big brother watching), this got me thinking about all of those unprotected security cameras that anyone can easily figure out the passwords to, and play creepy sounds/noise music to mess with people. I'm seriously considering doing this to scare the fuarrrk out of him nonstop so he'll return them.

Does anyone still dabble in this sport? I'm assuming the same methods of finding ip cameras still apply.

Not really versed in it myself but yes, IP cameras are a dumpster fire. Do it.

know anyone that can "self-host" those cameras? in a third world/first world only second world is safe installing your own offline cameras yourself is very much worth, but is a privacy nightmare if you don't build it yourself and let some company or brand or someone else do it

>>26754 (me)
but I think only an engineer would be able to do something like this so might as well become an engineer I guess


hey guys this thread comment and name is stolen from lainchan you can see it in that op didn't bother changing fuarrrk back to fuck don't engage with this low effort thread

an anonymous group is trying to cancel rms (and the entire fsf) yet again: archive.md/Pt37W (stallman-report.org). the pretext? protestant hysteria and prudishness

in the grand scheme of things, the fsf and gpl software in general represent unrealized profits for capital; they block a segment of the market that would otherwise have to depend on either proprietary or proprietary-friendly (permissive licenses) software. in this sense, it's demise is a matter of time because companies have a material incentive to kill it

imo libre open source software has always been a "consciousness thermometer", both among programmers and computer users in general. it is at an all-time low right now; for every ten new big open source projects I see, at most one is licensed under the gpl or equivalent. this is the impotence of trying to oppose capital within the system of capital (private property, licenses, etc.)

Any updates on the drama? Or is it completely forgotten now, just like every radlib whine about Stallman?

>>26721
There wasn't even any drama, nobody cares about the "report" or even Stallman.

>>26723
I mean, this had 150+ replies both in lobsters and hn, and even more in a number of subreddits. what do you expect stallman to answer? how are you even supposed to respond to anonymous false accusations?
stallman and foss in general is a symbol, usually you can tell how desperate programmers are for work and corporate endorsement based on their opinion on either

by https://old.reddit.com/user/OiiiiiiiiOiiiOiiiii
Fully quoting so you don't have to go to reddit:

>You may have missed it, but a few days ago, a mastodon account https://mastodon.social/@report_press published The Stallman Report https://stallman-report.org/, which accuses Richard Stallman of many things, but primarily defending sexual assault and being a pedophile defender. These are based on the decades old statements that Stallman has either fully or partially retracted. It also advocates for removing four other members of the FSF board: Alexandre Oliva, Geoffrey Knauth, Gerald Sussman, Henry Poole for being "contemporaneous with the 2019 scandal". Today, the FSF is holding a "discussion forum" to determine if the members should remain on the board (link https://fosstodon.org/@jimsalter/113330555018293763)


>As it turned out, one of the main authors (perhaps the only one) turned out to be Drew Devault (also known as sircmpwn). The proof https://archive.is/1Ayzf includes hosting the report website at the same IP address as his own personal site, as well as hosting a draft of the report on his website https://archive.is/R2KPV . Drew has also made similar posts about Stallman before on his blog

A bunch of idiots took down and hacked the internet archive because
>The archive belongs to the USA, and as we all know, this horrendous and hypocritical government supports the genocide that is being carried out by the terrorist state of “Israel”.

Their motive as to why their pretending to take it down for palestine is likely to make palestine supporters look like america-hating dumbasses.Wouldn't be suprised if they turn out to be straight up zionists

Probably done by people because Internet Archive also hosts BANNED books on history and politics

he's neither joking nor insane. Either he got some glowiebux for this or is blackmailed by them

>>26619
>le hacking website that's the usa has been messing with and is neutral to the whole war while providing web archives for anyone including whistleblower info on israeli is good
twitter radlib pls go

most obvious false flag I've ever seen, of course this fucking guy didn't do it because of "israel"

Hi! Im trying out leftying because I don't have a reddit and I hate that place, and because I fucking hate 4chan and cause im kinda desperate at this point and this seems to be a rare problem. Basically whenever i wanna download something, be it over browser or steam it first starts downloading normally, but then for no apparent reason cancels the download. It doesn't have anything to do with the wifi since the internet works fine (i can watch streams, game etc), only the downloads don't work normally. They ONLY work without interruption once im connected to a VPN. I already tried resetting my pc and got new drivers but i still have that problem. The problem suddenly started appearing half a year ago and I haven't really been able to fix it. My best guess is that it has to do something with the IP adress, since using my VPN somehow fixes it, but without it, it cancels all the time. Im on windows 11 and if anyone would be able to help me out it would be more than appreciated

It only happens on PC and when I'm NOT using VPN

Could ya be getting trottled? I remeber downloading animal crossing without a vpn and getting trottled for like 2 months for seeding. Kinda sounds like what I went through.

>>26481
Idk. I download torrents a lot. I have changed provider and the problem persists

>>26482
Could it be a windows thing? Have you tried booting into a linux flash drive to see if it's like that on like, NixOS + KDE or something stable like that?

>>26483
Gonna test windows safe mode tomorrow then

>>26480
might be a DSN thing, see if you can change your pc's primary and secondary DSN to something like google (8.8.8.8) idk what google's secondary dsn is

WTF? Why?



 

Forgib if there's already a thread somewhere, didn't see. Kangaroos want to ban socials for people under 16

https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/australias-planned-social-media-ban-raises-teen-isolation-fears-2024-10-15/

Discuss. Is it too much? Is it adequate?

I agree that social media as it exists is a dumpster fire, but I think we should be trying to force its hand to change for the better (starting by being more decentralized). Banning it is probably not it.

Just let the nuclear family regulate itself

Literally authoritarianism.

parents really just want the State and the world to parent for them like if you actually talked to your children about what they like and watch or even just checked the browser history/accounts/group chats most of the shit parents complain about wrt to the internet and social media wouldn't be an issue. I see this dynamic all the time where the same exact parents who don't spend quality time with there kids and basically don't parent in general get pissed that there kid was exposed to xyz media like there aren't one or more adults in charge of that kids media access. Shit blows me anon

>>26697
Based deadbeat parents support socialized childcare.

>>26698
tbh atp deadbeat parents are a reason I support socialized healthcare so the kid can come chill with there peers get some free food and not deal with a shit homelife for a couple hours

https://alltechmagazine.com/smart-tvs-spying-on-you-up-to-several-snapshots-per-second/
A new study has found that popular smart TVs from Samsung and LG are constantly monitoring users’ screen activity, taking screenshots as often as every 10 milliseconds. This is called Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) and it captures images and audio from your TV to see what’s on the screen and then uses that data for targeted ads.

The study by a research group led by Yash Vekaria from University of California, looked at how ACR works on two of the most used smart TV brands. Their findings on arXiv showed that Samsung smart TVs take screen events every half second and LG takes screenshots every 10 milliseconds. …

The data is then analyzed using AI to compare it to a massive media library to figure out what’s on the screen. Advertisers can then serve ads to users based on their viewing habits. Crucially, the researchers also found that ACR works differently by region; in the UK, TVs didn’t send data during broadcasts, while in the US, data was sent even during HDMI usage.

just dont plug your tvs to the internet

>>26527
a 4k OLED should last you a while. I'm reasonably sure they make 'em

>>26528
If you're going to get one of these slow, unresponsive pieces of shit, you might as well connect to the Internet. All of them should have adb support. You either need to find a debloating script or drop all telemetry server adresses in /etc/hosts.

Have you considered

Not connecting your TV to the network

Then it wouldn't spy on you


The real problem will be when all the TVs that exist force you to go online to even USE them (I think some Roku? TVs do this chinletry, God help us all if this becomes standard)

>cockshott's proof that lambda calculus doesn't work

I lmaoed so hard when I saw this. Still, does he have some other foundation for his argument? Gonna email him to ask, but I wonder if leftypol knows already

The problem with lambda calculus is that you eventually run out of other people's imperative code

>>26654
beta reduce yourself, retard

>>26653
There are mathematical differences. But they are equivalent. How hard is that to understand?

I don't want to think about the underlying machine, I just want to execute code.

Wdym you don't want the size of the cacheline to run snake?
