How would you further overengineer USB-C?

make it square and let it be plugged in 4 different ways that all work the same

What is your opinion on these free VPNs on FDroid? I'm currently testing Calyx VPN. How is it possible, that there are so many free VPNs out there? This is cool but also kinda sus…

If you're that worried just use Tor at this point.

just pay for mullvad or if you care enough use tor lol

I think I will just use X-VPN. I trust the chinese glowies more, than these "non-profit" VPNs on Fdroid.

calyx vpn is nice, it's hosted by a non-profit

In fivem downloads go all the way 0 and keep trying over and over if the archive is more than 30MB, and eventually fail

In every single browser they fail immediately after awhile

I can navigate normally but downloads in particular fail all the time, VPN fixes it but then my connection becomes incredibly slow, can anyone help me? I really don't want to reset windows

>>28915
I tried with several different browsers and all of them show the same error

The same error happens in fivem too and other platforms that are not even browsers

Only way to download stuff constantly without failing is using vpn

In the cellphone it works fine tho

>>28919
No, it's fine on my phone. Only in the desktop this shit happens

I thought it could be something related to my network adapter but if that was the case wouldn't downloads fail with vpn too???

>>28881
Could anyone help me?

>>28881
Could be windows+chrome+isp security overlapping and fucking each other, detecting each other as threats.

>>28922
Maybe try booting with an ubuntu live usb to discard any hardware related issues, if they don't fail under ubuntu, your windows installed is being fucked by some malware

This is the nth-ish article I’ve seen on human brain cells being exceptionally better than the brain cells of other organisms when it comes to computer processing. This shit is being stacked on top of the now confirmed neurologically controlled prosthetics available in some parts of Africa and Europe. Is this shit real? Will the future of computation seriously be man-machine hybrids?

>My point is that security people need to get their priorities straight. The “threat model” section of a security paper resembles the script for a telenovela that was written by a paranoid schizophrenic: there are elaborate narratives and grand conspiracy theories, and there are heroes and villains with fantastic (yet oddly constrained) powers that necessitate a grinding battle of emotional and technical attrition. In the real world, threat models are much simpler (see Figure 1). Basically, you’re either dealing with Mossad or not-Mossad. If your adversary is not-Mossad, then you’ll probably be fine if you pick a good password and don’t respond to emails from [email protected]. If your adversary is the Mossad, YOU’RE GONNA DIE AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. The Mossad is not intimidated by the fact that you employ https://. If the Mossad wants your data, they’re going to use a drone to replace your cellphone with a piece of uranium that’s shaped like a cellphone, and when you die of tumors filled
with tumors, they’re going to hold a press conference and say “It wasn’t us” as they wear t-shirts that say “IT WAS DEFINITELY US,” and then they’re going to buy all of your stuff at your estate sale so that they can directly look at the photos of your vacation instead of reading your insipid emails about them.
Was he right?

Don't care, when I concern myself with security, I get convenience freeing myself from shit I didn't realize was inconveniencing me prior.

Sort of but it is good actually to keep doing wrong priority security research because it keeps microsoft employees like him awake at night

The attempting to frustrate glowuyghurs is fun in and of itself


the Mossad aren't fucking gods. If you think the glowies are Actual Gods, why do 50% of murders still go unsolved? Why didn't they find Bin Laden within a month after 9/11? Why are there still unknown suspects on the FBI's website? Seriously, why did October 7th happen? Are these failures all intentional choices by an omniscient enemy? Why? This is such a stupid and incurious way to understand state capacity for surveillance and what it means to have a state as your threat model. The NSA has truly awesome data collection capabilities, yes. But actually sorting through that data to find actionable intelligence is insanely hard.
>but they have AI to sort for them!
Go ahead. Turn on the AI analysis to identify every person who has ever expressed something conceivably threatening. Holy shit, it's *millions of alerts* again. Most of these will amount to nothing. There is a galaxy of difference between being a known high-priority target of the Mossad and the Mossad identifying you personally as a target before you've done anything. Even then, they only managed to stumble on Sinwar by accident. Let's say it's an in between scenario, and you're on a couple of elevated lists because you tripped a filter or went to a couple of infiltrated meetings. That still leaves their resources for intensive human led surveillance spread incredibly thin. Anyone suggesting that the feds are omnipotent gods is extremely psyopped, even with all their toys.

Might as well ask here since its related to being able to propagate information and educate others.

Is there any good AI service that lets me dub long videos into other languages?

The Best i've found is veed since it lets you dub around 10 minutes but is like 1 of those pero month unless you pay.

Is there any service similar to fakeyou that lets me do this?

>>28930
I liked this game that even though everyone forgot about it.

the task also includes thinking too. How is automating away parts of your thinking not going to damage your brain


Apparently being critical of artificial intelligence is good for you.

Artists are going to pretend this is about AI art and not clearly text parsers.

I'm here so you guys scream at me to try to convince me to use anything but a noobuntu distro.

After support for W10 ends I'm switching my 14 years old home desktop computer into something a bit more recent, and I'm genuinely considering using GNU+Linux as my "main driver" as kids say nowadays.

I have a lot of experience using Mint as that was my distro of choice for nearly 14 months, I think Cinnamon is an eyesore but otherwise it just werks and I could do almost everything I wanted to do except running Game Maker Studio 2 which is only available on Ubuntu according to the devs.

I'm considering using Kubuntu since KDE Plasma looks sick and it's basically Ubuntu so I can consoom my noob gamedev kit in peace.

As an addendum I hate "rolling distros". Manjaro is an abomination where things just werk against you if you're not a giga turbonerd who's on the computer 24/7 and derives sexual pleasure from fixing tech issues.

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but the ability to create ephemeral shells is something I use more or less daily. Here is a blog post that might make the concept clearer: https://www.futurile.net/2023/04/29/guix-shell-virtual-environments-containers/

You can install both guix and nix on other distros, so you can play around with this without distrohopping.

>>28840
Yeah, i don't really need something like this. The only place where i would use reproducable builds would be a minimal server setup and i'd rather just write a couple shell scripts for that.

>>28841
Ephemeral shells I use not so much for reproducibility as for convenience, similarly to how you use python virtualenvs to avoid cluttering your profile with python packages. Whether this makes any difference to you depends on the types of tasks you do.

>>28842
>Whether this makes any difference to you depends on the types of tasks you do.
It doesn't really. The environments of my desktop is polluted by things from under /usr/local and orphan files from multiple releases back and i don't see anything wrong with this. For the chroots and servers i work with it's either similar or control is tight enough that rolling my own is the most attractive of all options. Sorry, but i don't want guix to compile the jungle on my banana server.

Emacs is your best bet then

I just have come across some money and I want to build a new gaming PC, my old pc is starting to show its age. Where do I start? I have a 3000 dollar budget. Looking for a high end gpu, The best cpu and and can carry a blueray player.

>>24575
3000 is an insane amount lol. I recently upgraded and the most difficult thing to choose was the mobo actually. Huge differences in price and hard to discern for what reason.

Why don't you consult reddit?

I guess first choice to make would be if you are gonna go with Amd or intel and amd or nvidia. Thrn when you figure that out just get whatever the newest flagship is. Then pick mobo that works for the chipset. Whatever the best ssd is for your main drive. Ram highest clock speed. Probably want to go ddr5 but I hear there isn't much of an advantage currently. That's about it. Case doesn't matter just get one you think looks kewl.

>>24576
>look it up
>top of the line geforce costs 1800 now
Damn. Well splurge on the graphics card more than the proccessor for gaming. Gaming doesn't need a super cpu. Also splurge on the ssd if you want better loading times.

if you want an internal blu ray drive, then you need a compatible SATA connector on the motherboard and a properly sized optical drive bay (5.25", half height) on the case, i think
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA_Express#CONNECTORS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_bay#Form_factors

>>24575
What'd you end up doing OP?
I'm thinking about pairing a 98003XD with a 9070 XT

>>28852
Get a used Nvidia GPU instead of AMD. Framegen and Raytracing run like shit, but they're the way gaming is headed sadly.
