Comrades, we need a thread on privacy. Any decent activist should try ways of staying anonymous on the web and prevent being tracked by governments and corporations.General tips===* Use free software as much as you can.* Use GNU/Linux and keep it up-to-date, to be sure that you don't have unpatched security exploits* Don't use Flash Player, use youtube-dl instead for watching streaming videos online* Do not use Google, use DuckDuckGo or StartPage instead* Use a password manager like Keepass or for GNU/Linux users keepassx. Create new passwords for every site that you visit and use a strong password as a master password. A tip for easy remembering of your master password is to use a sentence. "i fucking love cookies and tits!" with extra capital characters etc. is easier to remember than some random characters and long enough to prevent brute force attacks of any kind.* Use the Tor Browser Bundle if you really want to stay anonymous.Firefox====* Go to Preferences -> History and set History to "Never remember history". * See for additional tweaks: https://github.com/amq/firefox-debloat and https://vikingvpn.com/cybersecurity-wiki/browser-security/guide-hardening-mozilla-firefox-for-privacy-and-securityAdd-ons-----------* Use uBlock Origin for preventing tracking etc. Bonus: use hard-mode to manually whitelist external domains on sites. Don't use uBlock but be sure to use uBlock Origin https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode* HTTPS Everywhere* DecentralEyes: prevents CDN hosting from tracking you (Google for Jquery etc.)* Self Destructing Cookies: only allow cookies that you choose to allowOS==* Encrypt your hard drive or home partition at least* If you use GNU/Linux, you can try to restrict systemd or syslog from logging. * Use a distribution which takes security seriously. Also, be sure that you don't install a lot of things outside the repository. It will cover most of your needs.Real life tips===* Pay with cash if you canFeel free to provide tips to each other comrades!

I already accidentally locked myself out from any adult content on my computer by changing the router settings and losing access but I need help with my phone.
There is no website block option on Android. I've considered paying someone to root my phone (I'm assuming it provides deeper access to settings) and doing something to hard block any access.
help.

So, I'm a musician, who wants to have a musical career (a lot of communist musicians had stable careers) and meanwhile stupid porkies tell me that "no, we'd prefer if you were replaced, prole, because there if no place for people like you" and I hear, not only music, but other art, computer science, programming etc. will be replaced by AI. How do we stop this, so people are still prosperous in the real socialst societies?

Remember when back in the day you had to have a so-called audio card that would allow your PC to fukken produce sound?

Pepperridge Farm remembers.

Most interestingly, depending on what hardware you had (ADLIB, SoundBlaster, GRAVIS, etc.) you would recieve a completely different end-user experience.

Compare these two:

It is absolutely unique, to have to have 2-3 different (hardware) interpretations of composed (software) music.

I think there should be theoretical articles written about.the differing "gaming experiences" ppl had/recieved based on their fucking soundcards.

It is cery interesting (to me, at least( that 2 ppl could have played "the same game," yet their hardwares produced 2 different musics. In essence, we can't talk about a singular "gayme experience."

This is an announcement of a study group for: https://quantecon.org/lectures/
These things often fail, but thought to give it a try anyway.

QuantEcon is a series of Jupyter notebooks covering topics of quantitative economics from Xiamen University.
It starts from the very basics of how to write a function in python and progresses to rather advanced mathematics (start at the start).
We might not be able to complete every part of this course, but we'd probably get something valuable from it regardless.
My background is in mathematics (largely forgotten) and some self-taught computer-science so might be able to help.

Was thinking perhaps two weeks or less to get through: https://python-programming.quantecon.org/intro.html
And then slowing down some after that as the course becomes more difficult, and more essential.

There doesn't seem to be any so I decided to make one myself. The topics you can discuss here are but not limited to:
>blue light filters
>blue light glasses
>dark mode
>eyecare monitors
>e-ink
>reflective LCDs
>effects of computer screens on one's vision
>Kobo e-readers
>Nintendo Game Boy and its successors
>other e-ink and RLCD devices

Also, it's a shame that Nintendo abandoned the Game Boy line of consoles

Hello /tech/, how do you search for your images?

I’m looking for some image search services, I specifically want them for anime related stuff, but general use is good too. Both regular image search engines, and reverse image search tools to find sources or similar images, give me your suggestions and tell us what you use. Thansk Anons.
