Every few months, people come up with an idea to create a new imageboard, since mostly everyone is dissatisfied with the state of vichan/lainchan, or thinks they can do it better. Having better software would greatly enhance the experience for both regular users and mods, and have more crossover appeal to “normies”. The problem is that no one can agree on the technical or more importantly non technical decisions on how one would go about making an actual, usable replacement for lainchan.Software Architecture General
>Software architecture refers to the fundamental structures of a software system and the discipline of creating such structures and systems. Each structure comprises software elements, relations among them, and properties of both elements and relations. The architecture of a software system is a metaphor, analogous to the architecture of a building. It functions as a blueprint for the system and the developing project, which project management can later use to extrapolate the tasks necessary to be executed by the teams and people involved. Software architecture is about making fundamental structural choices that are costly to change once implemented. Software architecture choices include specific structural options from possibilities in the design of the software.Fediverse general

>Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying computer architecture. The syntax of Java is similar to C and C++, but has fewer low-level facilities than either of them. The Java runtime provides dynamic capabilities (such as reflection and runtime code modification) that are typically not available in traditional compiled languages. As of 2019, Java was one of the most popular programming languages in use according to GitHub, particularly for client–server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers.The future for imageboard software

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.

Since US tech embargo on China is still in effect and US plans to squeeze Chinese tech companies by restricting their access to computer chips.

Sorry for the blogpost but as someone who is low maintenance I've enjoyed doing small jobs as a programmer rather than working for the big leagues, but an opportunity came up for me to get hired by a megacorporation that pays pretty well.

That world already exists, for we live in a world where github is the most popular git site in the world.Actually viable future technologies(most of its healthcare related)

I just want a recently released tiny wireless speaker that can be used with a 3.5mm but they're all getting rid of it except for the fuckhuge and/or expensive ones and it seems USB-C adapters only work in one way (shouldn't they work both ways….? maybe I bought a faulty adapter)Porky needs "Diversity in Tech" to slash salaries in IT
I was listening to a Citations Needed episode about the propaganda trope of "Labor shortages" and realized that all that WE NEED MORE WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR is not about making software companies less monocultural (which is good in itself), and the real porky's goals are:Questions in regards to leftypol site cookies with JS and tor
Okay so when I post through the onion with Javascript enabled (though the following functionality is probably also active for the clearnet users) and I export some filters between fresh sessions (between new "tor identities" / browser restarts; no persistent cookies) - leftypol JS / export filter somehow is able to track which posts I've made in previous sessions. How is this technically possible? I am under the assumption that this following string is only filtering a trip, a flag and hiding a couple of threads. Am I mistaken? Here is my export (see options -> general -> storage) of my current filters:{"postFilter":"{\"generalFilter\":[{\"type\":\"flag\",\"value\":\"Punk\",\"regex\":false},{\"type\":\"trip\",\"value\":\"!!IQ4P2MASFU\",\"regex\":false}],\"postFilter\":{\"leftypol\":{\"56299\":[{\"post\":\"56299\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"211384\":[{\"post\":\"211384\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"370215\":[{\"post\":\"370215\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"513986\":[{\"post\":\"513986\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"638949\":[{\"post\":\"638949\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"658188\":[{\"post\":\"658188\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"663892\":[{\"post\":\"663892\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"665630\":[{\"post\":\"665630\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"667081\":[{\"post\":\"667081\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"667613\":[{\"post\":\"667613\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"667711\":[{\"post\":\"667711\",\"hideReplies\":false}]},\"siberia\":{\"156521\":[{\"post\":\"156521\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"195307\":[{\"post\":\"195307\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"199072\":[{\"post\":\"199072\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"199963\":[{\"post\":\"199963\",\"hideReplies\":false}]},\"roulette\":{\"1614\":[{\"post\":\"1614\",\"hideReplies\":false}]},\"hobby\":{\"3012\":[{\"post\":\"3012\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"7003\":[{\"post\":\"7003\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"13248\":[{\"post\":\"22138\",\"hideReplies\":true}],\"15233\":[{\"post\":\"15233\",\"hideReplies\":false}],\"22130\":[{\"post\":\"22130\",\"hideReplies\":false}]},\"tech\":{\"12660\":[{\"post\":\"12660\",\"hideReplies\":false}]}},\"nextPurge\":{\"leftypol\":{\"56299\":{\"timestamp\":1640963248,\"interval\":86400},\"211384\":{\"timestamp\":1640917218,\"interval\":86400},\"370215\":{\"timestamp\":1640920665,\"interval\":86400},\"513986\":{\"timestamp\":1640920463,\"interval\":86400},\"638949\":{\"timestamp\":1640922087,\"interval\":86400},\"658188\":{\"timestamp\":1640927509,\"interval\":86400},\"663892\":{\"timestamp\":1640968217,\"interval\":86400},\"665630\":{\"timestamp\":1640962615,\"interval\":86400},\"667081\":{\"timestamp\":1640963155,\"interval\":86400},\"667613\":{\"timestamp\":1640921266,\"interval\":86400},\"667711\":{\"timestamp\":1640921023,\"interval\":86400}},\"siberia\":{\"156521\":{\"timestamp\":1640918209,\"interval\":86400},\"195307\":{\"timestamp\":1640967625,\"interval\":86400},\"199072\":{\"timestamp\":1640920604,\"interval\":86400},\"199963\":{\"timestamp\":1640963047,\"interval\":86400}},\"roulette\":{\"1614\":{\"timestamp\":1640920311,\"interval\":86400}},\"hobby\":{\"3012\":{\"timestamp\":1640963159,\"interval\":86400},\"7003\":{\"timestamp\":1640967263,\"interval\":86400},\"13248\":{\"timestamp\":1640968064,\"interval\":86400},\"15233\":{\"timestamp\":1640920316,\"interval\":86400},\"22130\":{\"timestamp\":1640968207,\"interval\":86400}},\"tech\":{\"12660\":{\"timestamp\":1640927019,\"interval\":86400}}},\"lastPurge\":1640912861}","name":"","own_posts":"{\"siberia\":[\"199614\",\"199615\",\"199617\",\"199633\",\"199636\"],\"meta\":[\"15731\",\"15732\",\"15733\",\"15735\",\"15736\",\"15755\"],\"leftypol\":[\"667584\",\"667664\",\"667681\",\"667715\",\"667812\",\"667813\"],\"tech\":[\"12703\",\"12723\"]}","catalog":"{}","password":"6mwfX$0D","email":"","user_js":"/* Enter here your own Javascript code... */\n/* Have a backup of your storage somewhere, as messing here\nmay render you this website unusable. */\n/* You can include JS files from remote servers, for example: */\n/* load_js(\"http://example.com/script.js\");*/","hiddenimages":"{}","auto_thread_update":"true","catalogImageHover":"false","imageHoverFollowCursor":"false","imageHover":"false","watchlist":"[]","hiddenboards":"{\"leftypol\":false,\"anime\":true,\"games\":true}","stylesheet":"Dark Red","youtube_embed_proxy":"tuberyps2pn6dor6h47brof3w2asmauahhk4ei42krugybzzzo55klad.onion","file_dragdrop":"true"}
Are we living in the final days of Web 2.0?
Is it the end of the Internet?The Alt-Right vs. The internet and Silicon Valley
After Charlottesville, GoDaddy and Cloudflare dropped the Daily Stormer. They took 6 months to find a host afterwards(at dailystormer.name). And it wasn't just registrars and TLDs that were dropping them, but other services you wouldn't even think of also, from Airbnb to Uber to dating services to all of social media (including FaceBook, Twitter and YouTube), to payment processors like PayPal and all the major ones like MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and Amex, even the most major Bitcoin retailer Coinbase, and so on. What was most surprising to me was that Cloud flare rejected them, given Matthew Prince's rather libertarian views. This is something he has never done up until that point. They instead opted for BitMitigate. After Stormfront went down, they took it to court and won, however in the meantime Stormfront users configured localhost in their hosts file to access it. So instead of asking the internet where 'www.example.com' is, you can write the IP address in your hosts file and it will just use that information. This worked, but wasn't very practical as only people who have the ip can find and connect to it that way.
