Does anyone here have experience with OpenZFS? The port for Windows specifically.

I'm considering changing my external hard drives to ZFS for its checksum capabilities, but there's a big catch - I need to be able to read the drives on Windows. A quick look at OpenZFS and I'm under the impression it's unreliable and I shouldn't try it in "production".

Thoughts?

For ZFS in general, consider using raid instead, which has better support, and keep in mind scrubs can impact hdd longevity.

>using anything other than ntfs on windows
you will lose your data
<i’ve been running this third party btrfs driver off github for a few months and it’s been working fine!!
you will lose your data

>>28677
If you're planning to mosty going to use it as cold storage, vfat+raid would also be worth considering. In contrast to ntfs and exfat it has native rw support on nearly every system, though speed and error recovery will suffer.

In recent years China has made significant strides in developing its own semiconductor industry with things like Huawei's HiSilicon, Loongson, StarFive, MilkV, etc. I would call that China outlasted the US sanctions barrage from the US. Chinese investment in fabrication technologies, while not anyway near cutting edge is getting to be near good enough. With things like Intel looking shaky and the rise of Risc-V and ARM we are steadily moving forwards towards the hopeful future of open standards, hardware and software, where most consumer computation devices will have built in Chinese backdoors instead of American ones.

China committing on Risc-V on home grown chips. Could be big, or not.

>RISC-V
Is there anything to point at this not being wasted effort barking up the wrong tree like MIPS before it? The parallels are pretty obvious, both are teaching ISAs getting horribly mutated out in the wild. The advantage is that every computer engineering graduate has implemented RV32I in their coursework not that the architecture itself is well designed. I've yet to see a superscalar RV processor you can put your hands on as a regular person or the HPC accelerators people have been teasing for 5 years.

Who the fuck was it that says Lunduke was a good guy? He's a rightoid now which I already knew due to his petit bourgeois class status and that debate with Stallman on free software.

Now all his videos are about h1b and discrimination against whites and pronouns and shit.

Feels good to be vindicated as opposed to the people on /tech/ who said hes a good guy or whatevr.

Does Windows have any desirable features that aren't just "this software I use uses a rootkit"?
Is the sole thing keeping Windows relevant right now a glaring system-wide vulnerability? Like if the Titanic came pre-installed with the iceberg and made said iceberg it's main attraction?

software that is incompatible with the other common OSes and it came preinstalled in ibm pcs (and clones) back in the day. these two things were done to achieve a "network effect" by which developers make software for windows because people use it, and people use it because the software they need was made for windows

imo the only reason gnu/linux software doesn't do the same is because it isn't popular enough and it's users are usually computer people that know what a rootkit is. there are apps that use rootkits on android, for example

legacy applications and special support contracts, being "the standard", etc.
if you need it for your job you're fucked but otherwise anyone would be better off with whatever linux

What do you guys think of gray hats, hacktivism and leftist cybercriminals? Hactivism is a politically motivated cybercrime that may target oppressive governments or capitalists. Gray hats are cybercriminals who often engage in such cybercrimes.

Btw, the term "ethical hacking" is such an obvious Newspeak psyop, just like the term "piracy" is. The corporations want you to think that if you download DRM-locked games with spyware and microtransactions for free or get unsolicited access to private documents that expose the CEO as a pedo rapist money launderer then you are an evil person.

Anyone Can Push Updates to the DOGE.gov Website

https://web.archive.org/web/20250214064422/https://www.404media.co/anyone-can-push-updates-to-the-doge-gov-website-2/

> "THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN."

> The doge.gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”

> Doge.gov was hastily deployed after Elon Musk told reporters Tuesday that his Department of Government Efficiency is “trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions—we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website.” At the time, DOGE was an essentially blank webpage. It was built out further Wednesday and Thursday, and now shows a mirror of the @DOGE X account posts, as well as various stats about the U.S. government’s federal workforce.

> Two different web development experts who asked to remain anonymous because they were probing a federal website told 404 Media that doge.gov is seemingly built on a Cloudflare Pages site that is not currently hosted on government servers. The database it is pulling from can be and has been written to by third parties, and will show up on the live website.

> Both sources told 404 Media that they noticed Doge.gov is pulling from a Cloudflare Pages website, where the code that runs it is actually deployed.

> One of the sources told 404 Media that they were able to push updates to a database of government employment information after studying the website’s architecture and finding the database’s API endpoints.

UPDATE

https://cyberintel.substack.com/p/doge-exposes-once-secret-government

> Beginning on January 8, 2025, a surge of U.S. government infrastructure began appearing on what’s known as “the search engine of Internet-connected devices,” Shodan.io.

> Federal agencies typically secure their systems behind multiple layers of protection, ensuring that critical services – such as mail servers, directory services, VPNs, internal IP addresses, and remote access gateways – remain isolated from public access.

> The scope and severity of exposed government networks is unlike anything I’ve seen. It’s hard to even have a baseline to compare it to. But one thing’s for sure–adversaries such as Russia and China are dancing for joy.

> Essentially, whatever is causing once-private government networks to suddenly be publicly observable is making the lives of Chinese and Russian hackers much easier–we’re doing the first stage of hacking campaigns, network reconnaissance, for them. With such easy insights into once-secret U.S. networks, the likelihood of data breaches impacting millions of Americans becomes that much higher.

Setting aside the sinorussian spooks, this is actually pretty bad; it seems like they're ignoring basic security practices that even medium sized companies employ.

> On February 6, the Washington Post reported that DOGE fed sensitive data into AI systems while auditing the Department of Education. The specific AI product used by DOGE was not known to the Post at the time.

Assembly language has been completely phased out by now. Now everybody uses Python, Java and C. The only two general purpose operating systems that were released in the 21st century that were written in assembly language that have any modern support are MenuetOS (released in 2000), KolibriOS (a fork of MenuetOS) and BaremetalOS (released in 2008). Everything else is Unix-like now, with the exception of Windows. You also have TempleOS (released in 2013), but that lacks modern compatibility and isn't general purpose either. Everything else is just a fork of a preexisting legacy operating system that was (like HaikuOS, which is just some BeOS clone or 9Front, which is some fork of Plan 9 From Bell Labs). I wonder if someone autistic enough was able to make one for the mobile platform just as some bizarre experiment?

the pdp is also interesting in another way. like most computers of the time and unlike any of the souped up microcomputers made today, it came with a debugging panel. processor state was fullly exposed through indicator lights and you could literally halt the processor mid-execution and step through every instruction individually

Moron. High level language are more readable than Assembly, not perfectly readable unto themselves.

>>28493
Meh. When writing C, I can still tell, broad strokes, what the computer is doing on any given line of code, especially at lower optimization levels. It's definitely a bigger jump from Assembly to C code than Machine Code to Assembly, but it's still a negotiable one, especially if you're familiar with Assembly. I know embedded programmers who know what the Assembly will look like in a given C implementation before they've even compiled.

>Assembly language has been completely phased out by now. Now everybody uses Python, Java and C.
wow, got any more breaking news from the late 20th century?

Only expert programmers are worthy of assembly. The compilers outperform modt programmers these days so it's completely unnecessary to write a bulk of code in assembly. I do imagine when RISCV becomes more developed assembly will be popular for it though because the level of access to the code behind the chipsets.

Unnecessary.
>not perfectly readable unto themselves.
People universally agree you need colour coding to read high level code, whereas each line of assembly is concise enough to not need it. So (X) Doubt meme.jpg

Anyone else want to watch 4chan GIFs and videos in an automatic slideshow?

Hopefylly 4chan will offer this feature at some point, but in the mean time I created a webapp that lets you play 4chan videos one after another. Try it out here: https://depvana.com/topic/344

Simply add 4chan thread URLs (e.g., /gif) – as many as you want. The web app will automatically play all the MP4 videos it finds in a seamless slideshow.

Why?

>>28531
I've always thought it was crazy having to click on every video! This is needed
