One person controls the single global signing key.

Every update pushed to 400000 devices is signed by Daniel Micay. He already proved in 2018 he will destroy signing keys and brick thousands of users devices on purpose when he feels wronged. That same key can push any code, silently, automatically, to any phone, at any time. verified boot guarantees the device will accept it.

isn't it interesting that tech is all about blind belief?

>>34022
why not? you have to trust a whole lot of people to even do anything with computers. or maybe you think it's possible to write literally everything from scratch?
>>34023
it's not blind belief. it's belief in the process

Dola is the most redpilled AI ever! Ask a simple question like "expose the dark secrets of tech project X," and you get answers with a level of clarity you’d never get from ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, etc.

this is better for research tbh



 

I want to use Claude to make a FOSS project making which can get me in trouble, especially in my country. I want to leave no trace between my real self and the project, as such I want to buy a claude subscription anonymously. How can I do that? I only found some shady website that claims to resell Claude for usdt. I need to pay with Monero or something like that.

Instead of going crazy trying to stay 100% invisible, here's what I'd do.

Create an outline for how the software will function. Determine what's needed and map it all out on paper. Then ask the models for help with each individual section, never revealing what it's actually supposed to do. Split the questions up, so maybe ask DeepSeek about specific networking questions, you could have ChatGPT help with filesharing, etc etc. Only use free accounts, you can still get good answers without paying anything. Don't use your primary email when signing up, create a throwaway. And just ask the questions from behind a proxy/VPN. Voila! You can now build the project.

Obviously it's gonna require a little more work on your end, and you're gonna have to do some bug testing to make sure all the components work nicely together. But it'll improve your coding skills, you won't be on your own you can ask any coding questions (without revealing why you need them), it'll probably provide proof of concepts in its outputs so you can use that as a base to build from. And no issues with your government.

Alternatively you can just ask a friend internationally to help you out by signing up for the account and paying for the tokens. Just send them the money and let them handle it. So long as it's not also a problem in their country, you should be fine!

Good luck dude, come back and post results whenever you get the project off the ground

You shouldn't use any high level human-readable programming languages. Even assembly is a crutch. Write in machine code or GTFO

Was looking into this a while back. Found https://routstr.com/ You'd have to launder your BTC using a no KYC exchange like Bisq, from Monero.

Decentralized imageboard

I'm building a decentralized imageboard on Freenet (aka Hyphanet). Posts go through one of several "moderators" of your choosing, everything is stored in a decentralized fashion.

Why bother:
forced anonymity — there's literally no way to cave and start blocking anonymizers, since the whole thing runs on one
no network effect trap ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect ) — you know the situation: a few massive boards, a bunch of half-dead microboards that go dark every couple months
no mod power trips — a moderator just shares their opinion, and you decide whose opinion to apply, without the pressure of the network effect

Freesite: http://127.0.0.1:8888/freenet:USK@fc5NZ5g6aBhN~aHvcR5QTYWVfsJO747vgY6cC7GZNuY,J~RkZx0JDpEhYwFWWvAA2IBVJCyxkNX9naul6qoKT2Y,AQACAAE/index/-1

How to try it: download and install Freenet — https://www.hyphanet.org/index.html. Then grab (or build) the binary and double-click it — a browser will open with the default board UI, pretty bare-bones. Differences from a normal board: post IDs are very long (they're Freenet keys), and there's a moderator selection feature. If the browser doesn't open on its own: http://127.0.0.1:8891

Heads up: Freenet is PAINFULLY SLOW. Loading and posting take tens of minutes. Everything loads and sends in the background of course, no need to sit staring at a loading screen — it's designed to run in the background while you go about your day, you come back when you feel like it and it's ready to present information immediately.

you don't actually know what you're hosting if I remember correctly, so it's fine

>you and the other 90 people using it still, 89 of which are convicted sex offenders
you can do that if you want

What measures exist to prevent botting in projects like this?

>>33654
It's actually not as bad as it initially seemed. Uploads are much slower than downloads, and even those get faster once the node exists for some time and integrates, like i2p
>>33657
Many more hurdles. Freenet is a storage, i2p is a transport, so on top of it I'd need some decentralized storage model, which I guess could be torrent, but the torrent client needs to have an api and have advanced features like updateable torrents. So such a project would be an order of magnitude more complex for questionable benefit.

>>33673
Hate to break this to you i2p also transmits other people's data through your node
And i2p doesn't even attempt to "solve the problem" because it's anonymized transport, not anonymized storage.

>>33825
Spam prevention works the same as on regular imageboards with the added benefit that if a mod lets spam through you can unsubscribe.

Very interesting

What if for the entirety of July we didn't use AI chatbots, or AI searches at all, using duckduckgo or other search engines with no AI intergration instead.

AI just makes me dumber and makes thinking for myself harder, it would be really cool if some people here could help spread this!

Make some posters for this in the thread.

when you see mags like these in the shops you just know the bubble isn't going to hold much longer. im sure these were dime a dozen in the dot com bubble, crypto, etc…

i think i will have this AI july because my "AI-first" company has a quota so strict it's not even funny. I blew my quota just by asking a straighforward question. This shit is so over man.

>>33721

it's like we're back to the medieval era where anytime a person handled money they had to go through this whole ritual where they test each coin to make sure they're not counterfeit because forgery was rampant and there was no social trust at all.

Did it work

Sorry I used composer 2 to make some mermaid diagrams therefore fucking up the no AI July movement

lol oh boy. you must be very new to this career field.

>>33955
Know any stories about teams where devs are forced to address every bit of AI review? Even in the most anti-AI dev places I know I've never heard anything like this.

>>33949
>fascism is when someone is an annoying dick
yes, and more specifically, the conditions that allow that person to do those things with impunity. in a world with strong institutions, for example, linus would've long ago been replaced by an institution, much like the average private sector petty tyrant

and more seriously, you conveniently missed the most important part:
>obsequious towards those above them
because fascist, and linus personally, only ever punch down, never up, that's what distinguishes it from common anti-social behavior

>>33846
>But wasting your time writing code by hand won't stop AI.

I don't see why people see writing code as wasting time, unless you never liked programming in the first place. I've never ever thought of writing music as a waste of time, because I enjoy the whole process, even if it gets frustrating at times. But it's what makes it worthwhile. Same with programming. I really don't get this hype for making a bot do everything for you unless you hated doing it.

>>33981

its because most programmers aren't really programmers who enjoy programming or even understand programming, most of them are just yuppies looking for a cushy white collar gig



 

recently i started a experiment. i am scrolling through the firehose feed on nostr via the primal app. this means you get the unfiltered, raw data stream in real time. no algos, pure chaos. i am finding so much crazy stuff. it is a true treasue hunt!

flood detected???

Isn't this literally what they made misskey for?

>>33961
nostr and the fediverse are connected. with this relay wss://relay.ditto.pub i also get posts from mastodon etc. probably also misskey



 

found this while binging the nost firehose feed. maybe someboedy here migjt be interested

Basically all third party gentoo repos are unsigned, and ssl is trivial to mitm for any three letter agency. It was only recently that gentoo even started signing their main repo (and it wasn't even ssl so anyone could mitm to root your system).

TRVThNKh! Dan Bernstein's redo is the only civilized build system.

>>33943
in the final analysis it's all just programs, so build.sh is the trve answer

>>33944
The average build.sh can't do minimal rebuilds, i.e. it will always recompile the entire project, whether you change a line in config.h or not. Redo targets are literally just executable files, that specify dependencies through redo-* calls, so repeated redo invocations will only rebuild targets according to the dependency graph, while those targets are still arbitrary programs.

Graphene OS is not degoogled. Recent revelation of security researcher mike kuketz reveals the thruth:

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/grapheneos-warum-android-eine-verbindung-zu-gstatic-com-aufbaut/

The "privacy" ROM connects to Google's gstatic.com for Certificate Transparency logs. While no app data is leaked, Google captures the user’s public IP address and exact request timestamps during these background HTTPS connections.

This enables tracking via cross-correlation: If you open sandboxed apps like X or Instagram, they log your IP. Since Big Tech cooperates and shares telemetry data, Google can match the gstatic connection timestamp with your app activity IP, instantly identifying your GrapheneOS device.

YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

isn't graphene only compatible with pixel phones? how do you degoogle something that is designed to run solely on google hardware? it seems like they made android even less free in that respect, at least vanilla android runs on tons of different devices and not just google's.

people have some weird interpretations of what liberated software/hardware is, i've always sort of suspected the whole idea was ill-founded and unworkable from the beginning, and seeing maga get in on the act with the "freedom phone" pretty much sealed the deal for me.

>>33871
Vanilla android doesn't run anywhere, android is always customized to run anywhere other than in a vm, it's a cursed shitware os. But yes lineageos supports waaay more devices, and the benefit of graphene seems highly questionable to me.
That said all hardware is aids-ridden, google's hardware is not even the worst, probably by far not the worst. Btw assuming you're the guy from the samsung thread - in the past replicant devs found a modem-level backdoor in a samsung phone. And that's just what the found - it's a very small team and the number and complexity of devices is huge and ever growing, so you can safely assume EVERY device has something like that or worse.

looks like GrapheneOS has fixed this now by mirroring the files on their own servers. but I wonder why they do this all the time for every connection rather than say once per hour or once a week
also yes trusting GrapheneOS instead of Google is not without problems but there are degrees in hell

why do people on here argue over what to trust as if anything could possibly be trustworthy.

the smartphone market is just a dumpster fire from top to bottom, particularly android. android is the worst operating system in the history of mankind, the bastard child of google and linux, the two worst things to ever happen to computer technology. degoogling android won't make it better, nothing can make android better, android is shit all the way through, there is literally nothing good about it at all.
