Well it isn't like labouring pays badly, and it gives you the opportunity to go in to many well paid trades, just as my example and a very accessible one.
What does the potential mega-money of some coding jobs matter anyway when you cannot have time or the mental health to spend it?

When in doubt, make a calculator for something.

>>21434
how about you program yourself a gf

I've tried for the fun of it years ago with various ai software and coding, but I realized it was a stupid thing to do when, as much as Cameron was a teen crush, I ought to live in reality and not a fantasy. The experience did give me a pretty thorough understanding of how difficult AI is and how important creating a friendly AI is to prevent a Skynet situation. No amount of rules in programming matter because if you teach an AI to be truly sentient, it will learn to break those rules.

Like what? Fahrenheit to Celsius?

FAGMAN hosts a lot of services on Tor, and every idiot running Brave is on the 'tor users' watchlist. Gotta try harder so NSA senpai will notice you.

>>21384
Just like when CIA said US is exempt from their propaganda, they are 100% surveyed

>>21381
NSA probably put you on a slightly higher focus the first time you pinged torproject.org, but also they spy on like anyone with an IP address so who cares

>>21394
Also considering that anonymization has spread to even normie spaces, you should be reasonably obscured

>>21395
lol no it hasn't

That sounds like a valuable tool. An anon on 4chan was producing graphs that claimed to show posting frequency on ukraine threads correlated to certain happenings. Anything that gives us a better overview of wtf is going on is great.

Automated moderation is fucking awful (look at YouTube and reddit automod tools) and it's not just targetting CP or gore, it's being used as an automated censorship tool. With how the mainstream platforms operate to push the bourgie neolib orthodoxy and suppress dissent, automation (more than they already have) would make that even worse. Unless paired with radical transparency in moderation it's proliferation would advance the dystopian trajectory of the internet.
An obervation I've read here I agree with is if a platform has to use automated tool to keep out spam or illicit content it's become too big for it's own good.

It's done with so called perceptual hashes. So they're resistant to single pixel changes. Of course they can be circumvented, but they're resistant to cropping, resizing, shit like that, that normal hashing isn't.

>>17472
They were right in that tools like this can be a free speech issue if not paired with extreme transparency in moderation which few places have, or are closed aource which most tools are.

All rightoids in hysterics about China and TikTok are useful idiots for this agenda. America is rapidly becoming worse than China when it comes to digital controls. As usual, the cries about authoritarian the west are really either hypocrisy or jealousy.

>>21366
try other mirrors. It's free shit so the servers will be strained.

yeah i ended up using annas-archive and it worked

lol

>AI network level solution
nah I think encryption and stuff would get in the way, and that would be too nuch for a locally hosted AI, ane impractical for a VPS hosted VPN with that applied aven if you could get around that.

Could use your /etc/hosts file, add "0.0.0.0 riskof.coom" to a new line and save. Should block the site in most cases. That's what I usually do when wanting to eliminate distractions.

According to local monero, the full blockchain is now ~115GB, which probably means that the pruned chain is 4+GB

I hate blockchain so fucking much, when will we get a p2p that doesn't inherently suck ass on every level?

Seriously, buying drugs online is supercool but who ever thought it was a good idea to store every fucking transaction ever on a immutable log file? It is so fucking stupid i hate it so much, all cryptobros need to get shot in the ass fuckfuckfuck

>>21346
>pruned chain is 4+GB
I meant 40+ obviously

>>21346
>p2p that doesn't inherently suck ass on every level?
Isn't that pretty much everything other than blockchain?

>>21346
So you don't know how Monero works. Unlike bitcoin, transactions cannot be tracked back to you. When you are controlling a node, you can wipe/not save all the logs you want. Nobody is forcing you to keep logs on yourself lol

bohemia/cannabia might be exit scamming

I never understood the appeal of LED fans. Yes I did have a LED PC phase when I was in my 20's but I've mellowed out to a more subdued look, No LEDs,. just letting the performance of the computer speak for itself in a nice MicroATX case, with no windows. And it has a nice big 200mm or so fan in the front with a fan filter. And it does have 2 5.25 inch bays, one I put in a Blu-Ray/DVD Drive so I can watch the DVDs I collected over the years.

>>21340
>I don't like pretty things SO WHY DOES EVERYONE ELSE
Want a cookie for that?

>>21341
No, bright LEDs are more obnoxious than anything else and the whole 'Gamer" look is overpriced junk that looks ugly as hell.

>>14130
Not exclusively. Aesthetics are certainly important to many but a more expensive case often has different properties in other ways in terms of materials, function/capability, and in some cases manufacturing and other factors that influence its price.

>>14212
I'm from this era. There were a lot of differences back then and aside from some of the more extensive mods (often done for shows, LAN events and more ) the features and support that we used to have to mod in at considerable expense were eventually adopted into new classes of cases for enthusiasts which was generally a good thing. However, the increasing financial and technical accessibility of PC gaming in the 2000s and definitely by the 2010s meant that things evolved but not always for the best. There's a lot more to discuss about the changes since that era, but its not as simple as most make it out to be.

>>21216
Most office cases were made with horrid compatibility for components (often using non-standard mobos, PSUs and others at times), bad cooling potential and the like. They were meant for massmarket, price point focused for businesses. I think one could pick enthusiast cases from older eras that had better features and similar aesthetics. For instance, I had the LianLi 6070A in one of my early custom builds which was full aluminum (old LianLi was full aluminum, modern LianLi is sadly often aluminum only on the outside and steel structure or other materials) and had a very clean aesthetic

>Gamer Aesthetic
A lot of this is really just contrarianism because it has become more common. Its just like hating RGB LEDs. Back in the day we would have killed for addressable RGB that was standardized and worked. Sure, people who leave everything looking like rainbow vomit isn't the look I prefer, but the "I'm going to go out of my way to not have any LEDs because I am a mature sophisticated person unlike those GAMERS" contingent strikes me as trying way too hard and looks ridiculous. Just about every set of decent RGB features can be turned off entirely or controlled to whatever color profile you wish. You want a single color or twPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

its nazism. look at the swastika in the first photo

>Find the forum for your phone on XDA-developers and have at it!
How? What exactly do I look for in the forum especially if I'm a noob?

>>21324
If you're a noob it might be better to get an old phone and fuck with that before messing with your main

>>21330
I already managed to flash GrapheneOS onto it. Looked around seems like avbroot is also good to patch it with.

>>21332
damn nice work for a noob. planning on getting a graphene phone sometime. I wonder how it identifies itself to the network, like is it a massive advertisement that you care a lot about security?

>>20887
I'm gonna work on this a lil more and use it as an input image next

damn these suck but it was worth a shot (1st was input)

>>20889
much closer to the input. Goes hard.

>>21039
Wow, this pic goes hard. Mind if I save it?

pretty sure that only works on sites that have both jpeg xl and webp versions of images

youve just made yourself more easily recognizable for no benefit

>>21041
I'm okay with an image not loading tbh.

>>21040
Seems to be a rare alunya pic or one that's new, I've never seen this one
