Intel Massive Leak Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:49:10 No.3675 [Reply]

Intel seems to have suffered a massive leak of about 17GB in size. It is named drop 1 so maybe more to come.

>All distro websites tell you to use checksums
Exactly. And any good distro has signed packages, so they fortunately assume their users could be attacked. It happened to Mint because of a wordpress vuln IIRC, so nothing to do with the distro itself. It's ridiculous to put so much blame on Mint project itself, wordpress is not some obscure amateur project of their own making.
Much bigger scandal to me is how Arch Linux refused to sign their packages for so long, attacking anybody who pointed this out. This is the case where a distro itself was actually unthrustworthy, and not just because of incompetence but because of their attitude towards security.

Dude, do you seriously use checksums every time? I try to use them, but many times I'm just lazy and trust the server. I sometimes even run plain bash code directly through ```curl website | bash```. It's the easiest way to install some software.

You know that Stallman is basically essential to understand if you want to liberate the working class of today. He teaches us to take our digital means of production, and it can be taken a step further when applying his thought to Free and Open Source hardware designs.
Read Free Software, Free Society

Then to take it to the hardware level, check out the Open Source Ecology project:

but it's never being talked about

The two most common indicators of detecting an high-functioning autist is how they are very literal and persnickety and how they are unaware of socially inappropriate behaviors (ex. eating dead skin off your foot in front of a live audience, defending pedophilia and not understanding why age of consent exists).

Federated Imageboard Technology Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:48:48 No.3479 [Reply]

I've been thinking of Mastodon lately and the idea of federation. I've also been thinking of gochan and the efforts here on /tech/ to develop a new chan based on golang.

One thing that is learn is that the chaniverse, the 'alt chan' community is declining.

Instead of writing yet another chan, something new needs to happen: A common protocol or interface which defines server to server and frontend-to-server operates.

This protocol would be defined as JSON endpoints, possibly extended off the already existing 4chan api which is read only.

Normal federation is based off of following individual users (see activitypub protocol), whereas this would be based off following boards/topics.

The frontend-to server api definition would be there so that mobile clients etc can be made that are standardized, allows SPAs and mobile clients to use it while also providing an optional server-side rendered version for browsers, in case people don't want the javascript of an SPA.

Also it would allow everyone to write their own chan software while having it all interoperate with a wider universe of alt chans.

The same restrictions of mastodon (ex: blocking certain other instances) could also apply. The only think I think would be needed was individual accounts/registrations so that individual users could follow boards on other sites and it wouldn't have to replicate more than necessary

I haven't kept up with any of this, but just wondering why golang? What is inadequate about the other languages in which imageboards are implemented and why would an implementation in golang improve on them?

Sorry for the only very tangentially related question.

Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:48:49 No.3488

golang is a compiled language so presumably performance will be better.

most imageboards were historically written in php although obviously lynxchan was written in javascript

In reality it's not that big of a difference imo

nntpchan is based on the nntp protocol which was a usenet protocol from the 90s. Modern architectural practices should be used instead through standard (restful JSON endpoints) like every other web app made after 2010 and mastodon

>inb4 "nntp is better than modern architecture"
>inb4 "oh, so you want it to be less secure and less anon then?".

This is the fucking problem with imageboard /tech/ and /g/ boards its full of fucking pseuds. Yes obviously JSON based microservices are bad which is why every multi billion dollar FAANG company and startup, what with their world level technology and advanced engineering degrees, are wrong, but you, some rando on /g/ who sells belts at the mall for a living knows that the REAL solution is NNTP protocol and scheme and whatever Richard Stallman thought was cool in the 90s.

The problem with imageboards and the internet in general is it falsely equalizes pseuds to non pseuds from the perspective of bystanders who don't know enough to tell who's full of shit

It is generally understood that programmers don't fancy with worker unions, instead opting for muh individualism. I can't really comprehend it, is the field just filled with Elon Musk worshiping people who think they'll be the next big thing?
Why is this? It happens in most countries, not just the USA. Do they not realize they'll get older, too? As a programmer myself, this is really frustrating. The tech workers union in my country is tiny and pointless.

Where I live there is high demand for programmers so the companies are competing with each other to be the best to work for, offering high pay, good work environments etc.

If you don't like the place you're working you've probably got ten recruiters in your LinkedIn ready to get you an interview with half the city.

Basically they feel secure in their jobs and happy that they'll be able to move to a new one if things go bad.

This might point to a lack of foresight, as you said they'll get older too, but as it sits they dont have grievances that they cant solve by quickly moving to a new company so it's hard to unionise when they are either generally very happy or prepared to go somewhere else.

And then Game dev is a passion job for a lot of people so they are willing to make sacrifices to work in it. Until they shatter from the overworking.

I live in Brazil and here the government had laws to encourage the use free software whenever possible in universities, schools and in the government itself.
The current government doesn't care about this. Helpfully, they are apathetic for the most part and aren't enforcing proprietary software and most people in computer-related courses in public universities are inclined to prefer free over proprietary, but there are people switching to Windows in universities and other places because they are more familiar with it.
