>needs some degree of linking/indirect adressing associated with that, right?
no. you just have to check that your programs don't overlap. they can and they will if you make a mistake

>represent a notable leap in complexity
it does because it makes it hard to change the .text section while the program is running (in principle you shouldn't be able to)

>>29308
>you just have to check that your programs don't overlap
I had a look at the code of a game (from https://archive.org/download/TempleOS_ISO_Archive/TempleOS_V5.03/Tos_distro_2017.11.20_19-52.iso) and it doesn't appear to be loaded at a fixed offset, the same program can be run as an arbitrary number of tasks. No virtual memory only means each program has to reside in core (TOS ostensibly implements timesharing and threading without multitasking).
>it does because it makes it hard to change the .text section
You would more-or-less have to load object code into W|X marked memory, which comes with the territory. Write protection on the .text segment only makes writing self-modifying code harder.

>>29309
>and it doesn't appear to be loaded at a fixed offset
you don't need fixed offsets to overlap. all programs and all cores share the same address space. the kernel and drivers do have fixed offsets, programs are allocated with malloc (often right next to each other), but because they share the address space you can overlap. here is terry explaining it himself

>No virtual memory only means each program has to reside in core
in main memory, it also means no protections, which would be considered a giant flaw in any consumer os but it is a feature in templeos. the point is that it isn't as impressive as you think, any compiler could do something similar in a similar environment

TempleOS BTFO's the linux kernel, Windows NT does, any project on osdev does

I do systems more the programming nowdays

OP it sounds like what happened when you tried to use Mint was your bootloader was not allowing a startup because you changed the operating system without getting it's permission to do so. Linux distros do have their issues but I am sure that's likely what happened.

It isn't enabled in enterprise versions and the like because of that reason.

I recently upgraded my w10 2019 ltsc iot to 2021 version
given how steam worked for gaming on linux and many games even work better now, I will prolly not ever go to 11 and go straight to linux when support finally stop, but I have quite some time still

Damn it, I do not want to switch to w11! I wonder if there's a way to get w11 Windows Defender without switching.

Congratulations! For this post, you have received 0,05 $BAT

Just use Google Chrome which hasn't been updated in some years or so.
Would like to degoogle my phone, but it seems the rooting software doesn't work on Mac OS.
If anyone had a method that did work on Linux or Mac OS it would be appreciated.
Just fed posting, don't mind me.

It's kinda hard, but I guess there are ways you could DIY. You either need to learn yourself or have someone (or some group, company, whatever) TRUSTABLE do a (paid) pentest on your devices and network for you (and it's expensive).
There are tools that could help you, tools that defensive/SOC and offensive security people use, like vulnerability and network scanners (Nessus, ), centralized monitoring tools, antivirus and EDRs (Endpoint Detection and Response software), binary/source code scanners for prevention and detection, traffic monitoring, packet inspection tools…
None of these tools are 100% reliable, they give false positives AND negatives.

get into a toxic and codependent relationship with a genuine crazy person. dump them and then see how hard it is for them to stalk you

If you're not hosting anything, then other than having a good firewall most attacks would involve you explicitly doing (downloading/uploading) something no? Think phishing or PDFs; best way would be to upload a PDF in this thread, and you would inevitably download it etc.

>>29392
>most attacks would involve you explicitly doing (downloading/uploading) something no?
Most, but there are attacks that may exploit 0-day vulnerabilities (or 1-day vulns, or even old vulns if you don't update your shit) that do everything automatically, so the complexity of your defenses depends on your threat model.
A firewall with a whitelist could be useful but depends on the program(s) being exploited, the exploit(s) used and the privileges gained.

>>29389
BTW, I forgot to mention that there are LOTS of free and/or open-source security tools out there for offensive and defensive operations. In fact, some FOSS tools are the best ones in their categories. DYOR, or ask here if you want to know more.

my sun laptop boots really fast! thought you were gonna call me a boomer for not mentioning power banks

>>29147
>Why people jerk off everything that Apple shits out
apple invest a LOT in marketing for that

>>29337
>swapping my battery
laptop power banks have been a thing for a decade at least

>>29276
>the price is a ripoff, but there's no ARM laptops that aren't absolute shit either
Macbook Air is cheaper than any Snapdragon X laptop which is pretty much the only other non-shit ARM laptop chipset.

>>29370
Still downplaying the inconvenience of spare batteries even if you're just plugging a powerbank into the USBC. A laptop should be able to last an entire workday on battery. It makes a huge difference in convenience that you don't appreciate until you've tried it. My work laptop is mind bogglingly more powerful but also a bulky piece of shit with about 4 hours battery life. Got a used M1 macbook air that I code on during the weekends and it's fucking night and day I can pack a lunch work in the park while it's cool in the morning go to a cafe in the afternoon, don't need to charge once all day, not lugging around deadweight.

Are Thinkpad Nanos any good? I'm a med student and need something as light as possible with a good battery life while I clown around on the wards all day. Specs don't matter much - I'm using a 2017 Macbook Air and it's good enough for me, just dying.

This is a pretty good idea, might be willing to help some.
The tricky bit would probably be scraping (beautifulsoup etc.)
Many socialist news sites are not going to have an RSS feed.
You would probably also need volunteers to do tagging.

As an alternative you could have something like the main view of https://lobste.rs
But with a bot automatically collecting certain news articles, by scraping etc.
Once again with volunteers tagging them, or optionally even submitting stories.

This just got more real for /tech/
https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/27/some-animals/#are-more-equal-than-others

RSS and Atom feed if you only want per-country categorization, and each site is country-specific
I guess more granular organization would be even trickier, and obviously require DIY software
You would probably have to manually organize recent news articles according to the "news type"

If you actually wanted to make this the first step would be to gather pro-labor news sources to scrape. A minimal viable program would just scrape and output an RSS feed.

For the same reason you take the same route to work every day, why you always do things in the same order in the morning, why you tend to order the same few foods every time you go to a restaurant. People are creatures of habit. He's not addicted to porn, he's used to the routine.

Use Steven Black's porn filter on uBO and AdGuard family DNS. Sure, these are individually all easy to disable, but I've found they place a barrier on porn consumption that helps a lot if you consume porn when you're bored as much as you're horny. If this isn't enough for you, consider getting a Raspberry Pi or the like for PiHole. Perhaps even more importantly, find other things to do. Read a book, hit the gym, even just play some vidya or watch a movie.

I used to masturbate a lot, 8 to 10 times per day at least, when I was sitting at home in a home office job which required little input from my part. Spent most of my day browsing the illusion thread on 4chan h looking for cards for HS2 but I turned overemployed and I fixed my gooning habit by filling all my free time with work, it's mostly a thing that is barely on your mind when you have lots of shit on your plate, gooning is a consequence of an idle mind.

i lived 5 years without computer or phone precisely because of this reason. instead of a smartphone i started using a nokia. I recommend you using a nokia. If you say to me that you cannot renounce on having a smartphone, i say to you that most of humanity has always lived without one, that you will try to get stimulus from your enviroment, you will start learning the streets of your city or town, so many things, for me it was so liberating to live without being able to stimulate myself constantly in my room. yes that it will be uncomfortable at first but you'll learn to live without it. ITS NOT TRUE THAT YOU CANT, YOU CAN. There are even nokias with whatsapp now so you dont have to renounce being in contact with your friends and family.

This, however, is only a patch, your problem is not gooning, gooining is a symptom of a far more profound spiritual problem with a long trajectory, so, for that i recommend knowing thyself and a psichologist, not just any psichologist but a serious guy with a focation for helping you, because the iceberg goes DEEP. Without you being able to goon your life will be better, but the symptom could appear and be more tense, so you need to paralelly work on yourself and your problems that you probably dont even know in a 20% as of now.

I am currently relapsing now, i am in a relapse moment, but i have learned a lot in the years and i know that this is only a symptom of a deep and fundamental self contempt i have been wired with for years and that i need to work through somehow.

sex addiction and lack of discipline/control is a real thing. might be a hormonal thing, might be psychological. doesn't mean it's easier to deal with for everyone.

>digital-mechanical
It's called "relay logic" as an electrician I have had to work with it but luckily most of the time my clients have enough money I can convince them to replace it with PLCs.

Bio-digital?
Bioelectrical/Biomechanical = nervous system

>But isn't there any form of media or machinery where it's purely mechanical but in a digital manner?
many adding machines are purely mechanical and digital, including mechanical cash registers. Zuse's Z1 computer was also purely mechanical. I've seen papers about nanomechanical computers being a potentially fruitful approach to computing

owned 71% by a chinese company,and the chairman also owns 10% and is part of that company.
the biggest problem is still that it's chromium based

>>28927
I mean I really wouldn't care if a chinese company bought the majority of, for example, Meta. Because It would still be Meta. The CCP doesn't oversee every decision a chinese company makes for overseas ventures, just has a spanking paddle ready if a line is crossed.

It is spyware for chinese companies who have no qualms about selling your data to western porky because to get rich is glorious.
