>>1112 what do you have against cloudflare that makes you hate it so much LOL

not him but I hate cloud flare too they're always checking me and making me fill captcha and I hate that

>>1114 cloudflare is literally awesome ngl

>>1112 is that smalltalk? haven't seen it since college. what are the weird annotations before the method name?

>>1115 cloudflare is EVIL they give you internet aids!!!

Damn the entire thread actually conflicts with rule 2

>>1106 my thoughts exactly LOL. like brother just post them. acting like the government is gonna ICBM his house for pirating books.

>>1102 >The New World Order You gonna conquer the world? Can I join in???

>>1109 Yes I will conquer the world and establish a world government but it will be an one to stop the new world order. Yes you can totally join in

>>1110 What's the mission, sir?

>>1085 how bad my privacy is on windows now? I already don't have the schizo level of privacy, but I still try to use things like ungoogled chromium. I disabled all the telemetry, deleted edge and copilot etc.

>>1087 >how bad my privacy is on windows now? Not bad really, only it would take them exactly one click to enter your system because all mass market proprietary software is backdoored, and the backdoors are coordinated by you know what government. I'm not sure linux in a panacea but it seems since linux is used exclusively in privacy conscious scenarios, it is more expensive to enter a linux machine. Though if you use your usual systemd with gnome/kde, you don't win much, since all of them are designed as malware as well. If you think open source cannot be openly malware you're dead wrong. Simply make unnecessarily complex and over engineered """solution""" and call your backdoors """"zero day RCEs"""" and chill. Since moving away from systemd is not possible and since it seems Linus is going to be deposed in upcoming years, I doubt you win anything by switching to linux. I'll probably keep some kernel tarballs just in case, but I think software freedom is doomed and unless something happens with the world, we will not be able to own our own system anymore.

>moving away from systemd is not possible Though if somebody replaces elogind and udev in a functional manner and presents clean software at the same time, please ping me. t. devuan user

>>1087 depends on your threat level. for the majority of people what you're doing is fine. if your threat level is something more casual like "i want to stop companies from selling my data for algorithms" then you can still do that to a satisfying degree on an LTSC install with disabling scripts. using trusted, open source software (like ungoogled chromium/librewolf, libreoffice, krita) and healthy amounts of caution online will be a good effort. if you want to go even further you can use invidious, nitter, and other alternative frontends for data hogging sites. the hikarin above me is correct in the sense that you can't really hide from the government, but that is not within most people's threat level (including mine).

>>1088 >>1094 thanks for the elaborate response anons.

also, does anybody have experience using Bazzite? a distro with a very similar goal to SteamOS. i'm tempted to give this a try as well, at least until SteamOS 3.0 releases. yes, i am a norman when it comes to my PC. i like things to mostly just werk. purists need not reply. https://bazzite.gg/

I need Windows on my desktop, but I have Steam Deck and it was my best gaming purchase. I am glad Valve supports Linux gaming!

>>1083 i have a friend who just recently bought one. do you have any complaints towards it? particularly the software side of things.

>>1074 Why would you use wine for that? Proton id inarguabley better for games.

>>1076 proton in part uses wine, no?

>>1077 Proton is a fork of Wine, but it has a few tweaks so it can run seamlessly with Steam. By my experience the best runners are Wine-GE/Proton-GE, if you haven't yet, I would recommend trying it out, although the creator is now working mostly on UMU Launcher, which is by their description on Github: > A unified launcher for Windows games on Linux. It is essentially a copy of the Steam Runtime Tools and Steam Linux Runtime that Valve uses for Proton, with some modifications made so that it can be used outside of Steam. By my understanding it let's you run proton without Steam, so now they don't need to have a Wine-GE and Proton-GE separated, and considering Wine-GE have not been update in more than a year now, and also the Bottles and Lutris creators are heavily involved in UMU, I can assume it's where most of the work is going to right now.

>>1077 I don't believe anyone claimed it didn't

Proton is gay and corporate, and I don't understand how to use it. With wine, it just werks. How do I even install your proton crap?

>>1045 Sometimes it's necessary to take up the burden. I understand if you don't want to

>>1046 Talk about samefagging, huh LOL

>>1047 You'll understand one day, hopefully

>>529 i have some expirience with hosting imageboards with vichan. because i am poor i hosted it on a tiny computer on my home network using NGINX. i would reccomend this guide if you want to set up something similar: https://comfy.guide/server/vichan/. and if you dont want to use vichan i would reccomend this guide: https://dev.to/fajarwz/laravel-10-crud-and-image-upload-tutorial-with-laravel-breeze-and-repo-example-4fn0 though you will have to change some of the CSS code in the last guide to make it feel authentic.

the first thing I done when I bought a VPS was set up kareha. it's an ancient text board software written in perl i think. but because it's so old it'll have security issues, and I'm too paranoid to host something like that permanently... I used it as a personal screenshot uploader at 1 point too. Like how sharex can auto upload to catbox or whatever. theres a dev i knew who has done it for years and its a cool proj i think. others can still post, but it serves a purpose for yourself too.

Somehow.

>>1053 it's called TUI, in principle you can make one just using your terminal's protocol. there are libraries like pdcurses, termbox2, crossterm or ncurses that include utility functions and add a compatibility layer so you don't have to learn the different terminal protocols. and then there are higher level libraries that even come with widgets and multi-platform input handling like tuibox, libtickit*, libvaxis or ratatui* these last two don't depend on any curses emulator and use their own, significantly less bloated, stacks there is also imtui if you want a terminal backend for imgui *: c **: zig ***: rust

I think I dreamed about programming something like this in C Weird

>>1034 I enjoy his music, that's all. >>1035 seperate art from artist. I don't care about sewerslvt's personal opinions as long as they don't mix it into their music.

>>1035 >name you init system NOW blehhhhhh neverrrrr

>>1037 why?

i don't spend a lot of time ricing

syrno spotted

>>813 ,hy? do you fear getting your phone stolen (me too)?

I use the Sandisk Clip Jam and it's great. - doesn't require to change batteries all the time, can be charged like a phone and the battery works for days on end with heavy usage - can sort by metadata (album/artist/name/...) - doesn't break easily - can run OGG, MP3 and FLAC (FLAC!!!!) (maybe it can do more, I just haven't tried) - storage space 8gb, but can be extended by arbitrarily large Micro-SD card

just go ipod classic or eros q. both runs rockbox. ipod is easy to upgrade, if you take gen 5th. they might be a bit expensive but its almost the same than a spotify subsciption during a yr. also if you got an old android phone, you could just use that and load it with tons of flac/mp3s

>>742 No idea what mp3 player is best (probably a refurbished iPod or something not gonna lie), but I've been using a Ruizu X02 with an sd card (up to 128gb, I tested it) for a while and it's great, and supports .wavs and other things like that. Hasn't failed me yet and honestly a great device imho. I don't use bluetooth so I'm not sure if it works well, my sister has one and got hers to work but I'm not sure if it's any good since she mostly just streams music now. Battery life seems good to me but I've never really measured it. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy a Retekess V115 - It's audio quality is great for mp3s (although it's clunky), but the thing complete died after about 7 months - and no, it wasn't the battery, I tried a different one. Whole thing just fried itself. Also, the shortwave reception is garbage.

>>1027 Quick note: UI isn't the best, but I got used to it pretty quick. Also there is an update for the UI you can download somewhere but I've never used it. Also, if you make a playlist directly on the device, it can only have 100 songs, which is kind of a bummer (it only lets you make 3 on the device but I think there's a way to sideload more, but I've never done it).

How much time did it take to finish? Great rice btw.

>>966 Ngl it only took me about a week after installing hyprland for the first time to get the bulk of it done. But tbf, i had been using kde for the better part of a year before switching.

hyperland is a waste of cpu usage and too much desktop effects

It has no soul tbh, very bland. looks like any other rice. 5/10

>>959 looks very well done very sleek too. though i am more a fan of skeuomorphism but hey, that is just me i guess
