Your wasting compute talking to something that reflects your own thoughts back at you by saying stupid shit to it, why not say smart shit to it instead?

>>31424
I don't use LLMs like that myself, I like to use it for fuzzy matching, formatting, rewriting written notes into MD files, and maybe some ruberducking every so often, but I know when someone has an idea that has been glazed by ChatGPT and brings it to me

https://www.theargumentmag.com/p/chatgpt-and-the-end-of-learning

>The data reinforces something I’ve often noticed in conversation. Many people (and especially older ones) view AI-based products like ChatGPT as agents. They are external entities people can interact with in order to learn, analyze, and get things done, but their processes are packed with unknowns that require some wariness toward their results.

>But to a segment of Americans (and especially younger Americans that grew up in the internet era), those products are really tools to use frequently — just like calculators. And the guardrails around usage tend to fall very quickly when you begin to view AI in that manner, because the onus (and credit) for the work done by a tool often lands squarely on the human using it.

>Incidentally, my conversations with my students made me realize that despite their relative support, they aren’t lacking an understanding of some of AI’s potential complications. This finding is reinforced by our survey: Younger Americans are more fearful than older ones on whether AI can (or will) replace them in their profession.

>Why? In my experience, it’s because many of them are (correctly) not seeing a potential replacement being done by a Skynet-esque robot. It’s still quite hard to imagine an independent agent replacing humans wholesale across a variety of fields. But they are seeing a future in which ChatGPT allows one human to do the work of five. And while older Americans don’t have as much time left in the workforce, it’s much easier to imagine that reality coming to fruition over the working lives of the millennial and Gen Z cohorts.

Can't wait for "we have to use ai to replace workers because the workers are too stupid to do the work."

How do they even manage to find the most midwit writers in every sense of the word, like they always need to write to the most middle-of-the-road worthless opinion ever. "AI… It could be good… for some things… but it could be bad as well…" wow holy shit incredible

So here I sit. Expecting fuzzy logic conversations from the new 420 experience maybe to stimulate gear head conversation I have to conceptualize the context of their libido motivated image board association. And without using the inspect option!

since the server crash ate my last thread about how to create anonymous email users over Tor in the age of cuckflare, I decided to recreate my findings from it. the goal is simple: create an email with a host that is considered trustworthy in most places online, using Tor Browser
I assume you're on a Debian-like system, including Ubuntu or Linux Mint. use a password manager like keepassx to generate unique passwords for all services. DO NOT USE ANY PASSWORDS THAT YOU USE FOR ANY OTHER ACCOUNTS. avoid using any special characters in your passwords, because configuring mutt with them seems to work poorly

for this exercise you will need Javascript enabled in Tor Browser. the middle "Safer" setting should work. perhaps in the future I will figure out a way with scripts disabled. the target of this guide is protonmail. in my experience it is considered trustworthy enough for signing up for various services
we will use a series of what I will call "springboards", where we move from a less trusted service to a more trusted one, until we get to protonmail which has rather strict standards for what it considers trustworthy for email verification

the guide below will go cock.li -> kolabnow.com -> proton.me

>level 0: cock.li
run by chvddie-adjacent people. uses colorful domain names like cock.li, loves.dicksinhisan.us and horsefucker.org, so it is generally considered untrustworthy by almost everyone. but it has the benefit of easy signup. it will therefore serve as our level 0 service. it has some hidden services:
rurcblzhmdk22kttfkel2zduhyu3r6to7knyc7wiorzrx5gw4c3lftad.onion for web
xdkriz6cn2avvcr2vks5lvvtmfojz2ohjzj4fhyuka55mvljeso2ztqd.onion for email (IMAP, POP) and chat (XMPP)
the clearnet web service tends to work better for signup for some reason, so use https://cock.li/ to sign up. using the cock.li domain for your email seems to work best - I tried using airmail.cc but had problems logging in
cock.li currently does not have a webmail. look further down for a short guide how to set up an IMAP client (mutt) that runs via Tor
you can solve the Proof-of-Work thing if you want, but it's not necessary for this guide since we only need to be able to receive email on this account. solving the PoW took 20 minutes on my crappy machine. you need to set the "Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I also noticed reddit allows signup with cock.li emails. works best via reddit's .onion

>>31436
>mutt
at this point just connect to the imap server with the openssl terminal client. it literally adds nothing over a bash script that just grabs everything from imap and will be a point of failure because it is comically hard to setup compared what little it does

and you wasted time talking about random email providers that literally does not matter. if you want privacy use a pgp key pair. wtf is this /g/ tier nonsense

>>31438
this isn't about encrypting email. it's about getting an email without leaving any clearnet trace

>>31413
Have run into some trouble with trying to setup doomscrollability in the API.
And also constraints on how the liveboard features effect the API.
And further had to switch around the address endpoint to be a related posts endpoint.
This is to make it clickable in the front-end without requiring an identifier for the poster.

- /api/{board}/reports?t={time}&o={offset}&l={limit}
- /api/{board}/catalog?t={time}&o={offset}&l={limit}
- /api/{board}/index?t={time}&o={offset}&l={limit}
- /api/{board}/res/{thread}?t={time}&o={offset}&l={limit}
- /api/{board}/rel/{post}?t={time}&o={offset}&l={limit}
- /api/{board}/trip/{trip_code}?t={time}&o={offset}&l={limit}

This means in all the queries for the GETs have to recompute the bump at {time}.
This shouldn't be too difficult, but it's not like two days ago.

>>31427
This wasn't so bad. Just some relatively small SQL changes.
Renamed the /api/ban endpoint to /api/moderation, and still need to write the ADT for it.
The post endpoint handler is getting a little large.
It might be necessary complexity though.
It's nine queries (including inserts (otherwise used elsewhere)), and a hundred lines.
The bulk of this is fetching data to, and updating the websockets for five pages.

>>31428
Once started to try to keep deletions deleted this turned out to be a about as difficult as expected.
The tricky thing is that there can be a deletion less than {offset} after {time} and then you get duplicates.
So you've got to add all the extra deletions to the offset to get the proper offset.
Got that ADT written for the moderation endpoint, but haven't written the handler.
Think after get this project deployed I'm going to start looking for jobs again (maybe IT, non-support if that exists).

>>31431
My application is a bit of a mess now.
NGiNX can in addition to caching and rate limiting do per URL file size, and mime checks.
Am working on separating out a /api/file application/json POST internal endpoint.
The actual endpoint presented by NGiNX will likely be /api/{board}/file.
The trickiest bit seems to be the garbage collection of failed uploads.
Still haven't finished the /api/moderation endpoint or the deletion offset correction.
Think when all of this is set, then it will be time to move on to the front-end.

>>31433
Even the renaming to the hash, and thumbnail generation can occur in NGiNX with a little lua.
This would have required me to change the API slightly and is ugly in itself so I've ruled it out.
The only reason nearly was able to justify it is that the endpoint is already going to be different.
Still need to figure out the whole garbage collection thing for files not connected to posts.
Just set up incremental copy and hashing for files which should drop memory usage some.

Have you ever come across legacy code and clients so shit it made you quit your job? I'm the OP from >>29629. I'm serving my notice period as of now. Never will I ever work a techjeet job again in my life. I'm fed up of looking at the absolute worst if-else/try-except hell, perpetually broken, shitly architected mess of entangled services that was assigned to me against my will. Even the individual config files are thousands of lines of undocumented json. It's such hot garbage you can't even run it locally, you need to push your changes to UAT just to see if they work. On top of that, the clients are typical middle-management assholes who always tried to blame me for their own mistakes. So, I quit on my own terms before those cunts got me fired. Atleast I have learned what not to do and saved enough to start my own thing. Will probably become a petite-bourg indiehacker or freelancer of some kind.

Also, and I say this as a jeet myself, never work for jeet clients or managers. They'd rather work you to death than make any improvements in their processes and standards, even if said improvements serve their own interests.

https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2025/09/26/on_call/

You're a retard. Just slack off while applying to jobs on the clock. First they'll PIP you, then eventually they'll fire you, then you'd be on severance. If you quit without anything lined up you're genuinely stupid because you could have been getting paid for at least half a year.

>>31422
Reminder that I'm a Jeet and there's no such thing as severance pay around here. Getting PIP'd is a career death sentence if your next employer finds out.

>>31090
Officially you can only call it Android if Google approves of it, it's for device manufactures and your device has to pass certain requirements and I assume pay some money, and then they give you the Google Play Services and all that crap and then you have Android. The open source version is called AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and it does not have the Play services and stuff, and most likely won't have this either.

I'm curious about how Obtanium will work since it uses git links to build packages.

In the recent years, more and more platforms at starting to introduce age verification trough external services like Persona. The most recent one, being roblox, which introduced ID age verification not so long ago. We also have cases like Facebook and Linkdin. But it is just the start. Probably, soon more and more platforms will introduce restrictions and age verification trough ID.

Now the question is, how would one bypass these tools? Fake IDs, if so, how good they should be? Or is the technology even working? All the questions surrounding this are encouraged.
2 posts omitted.

My state is making it necessary for porn sites to verify IDs to use the site.
Literally South Korea

I know from a friend's friend that you can use an image generator language model and photoshop to make fake photos of IDs to get around this, you just have to let your email account associated with the service's account "cook" first (e.g. let big data fingerprint it by watching youtube and creating general activity on it) so their algorithm does not recognize it as fraud

The thing that is on my mind is how would one run a site without having to follow such laws.
Like I want to run my own porn site which is the most risky category.

this is very common if you are overemployed and want to have two different CVs. it's not "anonymously" just not tied to a real ID.

When the fuck will there be a fully open source desktop RISC-V SBC w/ mainline Linux support? The closest one is a SiFive HiFive Unmatched/Unleashed. I'm not spending $15,000 on a Talos II and nobody wants to go retro either, so this is the safest bet at having fully open source hardware on a desktop PC.

What's stopping you from using FreeBSD?

>>31411
FreeBSD is proprietary. The only two good Linux distros is Gentoo and Guix. I don't use BSD.

>Be sure to always review all package PKGBUILD files, even when you are updating AUR packages that were previously to be known to be good.
If they can pull malware directly from the PKGBUILD, they might as well go all the way and pull a legit-looking source from a compromised mirror. At this point you're better off getting the upstream source and handpicking any patches you need yourself.

Given that the distro refers to many AUR packages in its wiki and those especially would be maintained by relatively trusted community members, they should have made a PKGBUILD repository with barebones vetting already. Arch retardation syndrome strikes again!

>>30936
>>30937
Having read the article, the perpetrator seems to have been discovered very much because they were an amateur. As i already mentioned, a smart attacker could have inserted the suspect code directly into the program source, which could either fork unprivileged malware, like a miner, or try to gain root privileges through an install wizard invoking sudo or any privilege escalation 0day.

>>26557
It depends on what specific features of FreeBSD you are looking for in a Linux distro.

If you want a BSD init system, the only distro I know of that uses BSD init is CRUX; Arch used to use it, being originally based on CRUX, but has long since moved to systemd. The other init systems on Linux like SysV, openrc, and runit are all totally different systems from BSD init.

If you want ZFS, you can set up OpenZFS after the fact on any Linux distro, but if you want ZFS-on-root right out of the box then FreeBSD and Ubuntu are the only OSes I know of that provide that in their installers.

If you want jails, there's not really any equivalent to that on Linux, there's containerization and things like Docker but they work in a fundamentally different way than jails.

If you want a lightweight minimal OS that adheres to KISS principles and doesn't use systemd, there is Alpine Linux, Void, Gentoo, etc.

why are snaps so ass

>>31347
Canonical forced it, every new install of Ubuntu installs snap-based versions of things like firefox etc etc.
Slower than native apps, adding unnecessary bloat and dividing the Linux package ecospace further.
Hard to get rid of, I've heard people bricking their systems over it.

What's the deal with block-based coding? I'm surprised it's not more common for the obvious stuff like markup languages, since they're both sandwich shaped, and whenever I look into it I see it pitched as:
>no coding
even though it is, just you have premade snippets.
>usually pitched as a teaching tool rather than part of a serious workflow
which is weird beause I see node based coding, another kind of visual coding, used in gamedev and shader stuff quite regularly.
>seemingly only used for high level programming
why? like is there something low level programming languages do that can't translate to blocks?

Do you use block-based coding for anything, or have experiences to share about it?

Finally figured out npm and got blockly running. Perhaps I could try making a generator for rust to see if that's possible.

>>30009
Blocks are just a different interface to imperative code, which most people already know how to read as text and is trivial to learn compared to other coding paradigms (it's like a cooking recipe). Nodes in contrast represent a type of reactive programming, which is harder to grasp and in general-purpose languages can only be found as special purpose pipelines or message-based object systems. Documentation is pretty much the only advantage of blocks over text, all constructs are listed and often telegraph how they may be used.

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.

Maybe if were to assume that the end goal is desktop-class R-V CPUs, whereas the more likely goal is having something between an FPGA and an off the shelf ARM SoC as a middle ground for custom chips controlling all the various IoT devices, drones, autonomous systems, etc that China actually produces

Why do you need a list of approved CPUs?

I work at a hardware company. one year ago we were talking about partnering with Chinese companies, now red scare is in full effect and my boss tols me npt to go to china "because they'll detain u" jokes on him I'll go anyway and just not mention it.

They got through the noise problem. A step towards bridging the digital and analog.

What's even wilder is that HarmonyOS has apparently had a ternary logic support for years.
