How do you solve vpn/proxy blocks when using a vpn? I can't post on 4chan and also can't connect to someservers when playing games. Is there a solution, and should i use openvpn instead of the official client for my vpn to use it?

Any company is shady if you don't have physical access to their infrastructure. And you mentioned it yourself: NordVPN, a large company with millions of users, lacked complete transparency despite having security issues uncovered by security researchers. You can always self-host your own VPN server if you want, provided that you trust your cloud provider.

I've been working solely with Nim for a while now and it's the first language I've found that doesn't completely make me want to neck myself out of the pain. It has some flaws of course, such as the stdlib being somewhat unoptimized for the sake of newfags (strutils is a big one, since it tries to mimic how things work in Python with function-chaining), and the Python-style messiness that larger modules become. For the latter, one can exploit the alternative C-style includes to break up the module a bit, or mess with templates to effectively neutralize large amounts of code duplication.

The other massive fucking flaw I'd say Nim has is that it's third-party lib support is trash. Most of it is half-broken abandonware with the devs vanished from this Earth. They really need to go through and prune Nimble's database of them. Thankfully, this is fairly trivial to solve if a community can really start up, and making wrappers for C/C++ libs is fairly easy if they aren't 99% header macro hell. Of course it helps if you also know C but there are tools that can help automate wrapper generation that just require you to go through and put in the last 10% of work, such as ensuring proper pragmas and adding helper functions to make them easier to use and implementing replacements for any macro shit.

My last two issues are firstly that Nimble sucks as a build tool, and you should either use Nake or straight nimscript in config.nims if you are a man. Hell plain Make might even be better since all you need to hand the compiler is your main and perhaps make a rule for unittests. The second is that the documentation generator kind of sucks ass. You can emit json instead and I was toying with trying to do up my own docgen but it's extremely low on my priorities so it keeps getting put up. Props to them for adding a dark mode toggle even if it is half-assed and doesn't seem to work for their also half-assed search system that likes to break periodically.

I realize these might seem like glaring issues, but I am autistically demanding when it comes to languages, and so far Nim has passed with flying colors even if I'm a filthy hard-tab indenter who had Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

audio latency is only relevant to synthesizers and (less so) games.

audio latency is irrelevant for video playback as no matter the buffer size it will be synchronized.

Ideal latency for synths is <8ms, and for games is 1/60s, both of which are easily accomplished with alsa on old PCs.

alsa has issues, but unless you write kernel drivers you probably can't give a meaningful critique.

Anybody that will go through the effort to patch linux with OSS4 has serious mental health problems.

Hello /g/, hope you are doing well. i know you're not personal tech support

Since i've been in quarentine for a couple of weeks, i started organizing all the files i had in cd's and external devices from a long time.

I found really good stuff i forgot i had, and i want to keep. Some of them are in 7z files, and i can't find the passwords, i remember copy pasting from the website directly and then after a while i deleted the files from my computer and forgot to save the passwords.

I tried cracker software using brute force, but it can take months since some of the passwords might be complicated.

Do you know any way i can get the files without the password?

Thank you!

Did someone else make the passwords or you? If you, you could create custom cracking sets based on how you may have made it to solve the password if it isn't random characters.

Otherwise, you can try and find where you downloaded it from, archive.org if necessary, to find the password.

A friend of mine who has a bachelor in computer science, who is also fluent in C/C++ and Basic has been pushing me to learn python has given me a lot of advice to learn python as my first language.

Most people start with a beginner's tutorial, then get disinterested and drop it because their materials are stale, and because there is no obvious official "path" for them to go.

>the reason i chose python is because really its just an all around basic lang built around basic syntax.

This is why my friend recommended that I learn python as a first language too.

There are online tutorials that have better teachers than university classrooms, without all the soul-crushing busywork that going to a college or university would entail to become a programmer. They tend to be more up to date on the information that they are teaching you as well.

The most important thing that my friend stressed, was to aim for something specific that you want to accomplish in the short term, like maybe a simple game program. After a basic understanding of the language, everything else you will learn on your own if you aim for realistic goals that aren't entirely out of your reach.

I spent a few hours looking for a decent video course online and this is what I have settled on using.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfscVS0vtbw

After finishing the beginner's course, there's a lot of other more specific tutorials that will teach you what you need along the way from the same channel.

There are a lot of paths for you to pick from after you finish the basic beginner's course on this channel. I made a point to pick a channel that had native English speaking teachers out of personal preference. The majority of tutorials and courses were taught by IndianPost too long.

Are you a troll? Just add hindi and you're a literal meme.

Now to answer your question, any book that goes from scratch and doesn't expect you to know things you don't is good enough for you. You don't "fully learn the lang", that's just syntax, what's far more important is to learn how you can build programs that do things you thought were hopeless to even try.

That and you'll need to be curious.

Because it's not safe. How do you think the owners of free VPN services earn money? Do you think they do all this for free? Nothing like that. Very often they sell information, your address, phone number, and so on. And don't be surprised if your social media account is stolen. All your information goes through them, so they can do whatever they want with it. Therefore, if you need a VPN, then immediately buy a subscription to a paid VPN. I use PandaVPN https://top-vpn.hk/

VPNs are not secure, it doesn't matter if you pay for it, get it for free, own it, piss on it, etc. do not buy jimmu's garbage VPN or whatever the fuck that thing is. people using VPNs for torrents are basically just temporarily fooling some RIAA/MPAA bot that sits there collecting IP addresses of seeders and downloaders, but the NSA and other organizations know about it and most importantly the VPN probably has logs of it (inb4 "lol i totally don't keep logs bro! just trust me!"). better off not using torrents or using I2P torrents only, or move to place where they do not give a shit about copyright and ISP simply does not respond to dumb "give me money" letters.

some people use someone elses server for like actual work, that sort of thing, you know like software projects or hosting a website or something. thats what its mostly actually for.

take a look at how anonymity networks work, its like five minutes of reading for the tl dr to get an idea of how Tor works at least. the rest basically suck and are unusable buggy unfinished insecure bullshit (also known as a research project), except I2P is kinda useful (but not for web browsing) since its been around for a while and the software is a little more stable than some of the other Tor alternatives.

how tf is it 'total cringe'??? It's meant for casual users who are used to easier-to-use systems like MacOS, it's not for computer elitists and hobbyists and shit. Most of the linux userbase are programmers, developers, pentesters and all around very knowledgeable about that kind of shit, so a distro that caters to casual users gets shit on constantly by the rest of the community, which is fucking stupid. If you don't like it, don't use it.

You are taking Linux users (or just Unix-like users in general) in too much of a high stem.

memeing aside I think arch or arch variants are a good blend of flexibility and ease of use.

Ubuntu is easier to install and to get going, but once you get going with Arch you can do so much with little extra effort.

Also AUR

Any country that hasn't had a civilian airport since CY-15 and gets shelled, (((gassed))), blown up and poisoned on a daily basis would turn into a shithole country. I also wonder if this is Hasbara's new strategy to say

>fuck the middle east.

instead of

>Israel dindu nuffins and is our greatest of ally

because it didn't work on their target demographic. Also don't forget that Zionist Occupied Palestine is so afraid of BDS that they have pushed through legislation that punishes calls for boycott of Israel; raising awareness of important issues is not virtue signaling.

Guix is run by SJWs who wants Stallmeme gone but at least software is updated very quickly. youtube-dl is rarely more than 2 weeks old, so if you archive videos it might be good for you. Might change to OpenBSD after some research.

Safest messenger? Anonymous 02/28/20 (Fri) 15:07:05 No.12277 [Open thread]

Hello homos. My friend's going to college soon and he keeps fucking bugging me to get a smartphone so he can contact me.

He wants me to get WhatsApp but fuck that, is there any messenger I can use that's actually secure and isn't a botnet?

I've heard good things about Signal, but supposedly they're working with feds. It also requires a phone number.

I've heard good things about Wickr, but it's closed source so it could easily being Zucc'ing you.

I'm torn between those two, leaning towards Wickr solely because I don't need a phone number.

Are there any better ones? It has to have a PC and mobile client.

Briar.

Also Jami or Session (Loki).

> It has to have a PC and mobile client.

Briar gets out because it has an Android client only.

Other options are hosting your own XMPP or Matrix server, but that would require more time, money, knowledge and overhead.

Easiest would be Session (Loki), Jami, Signal, Riot (Matrix) or to register to some XMPP server and use different apps for different platforms.

Making alternatives usable and getting actually good content there.

The most popular fediverse groups are:

1) (SJW-coded) far right containment internethatemachine echochamber

2-) mid-far left containment internethatemachine echochambers

... then after a while we start to find more neutral, less hateful options.

So long as the most advertized alternatives are vitriolic politics-based shitholes somehow managing to be more toxic than twitter and facebook, we're fucked.

Users are dependent. It's not illogical but its disgusting. Four years ago, we found that 97% of my uni cohort (USA) were facebook/messenger users. It's the opposite of herd immunity.

If you get enough people to use the alternative, it gets users (see whatsapp/signal/telegram). The initial launch is the hard part. Facebook committed reputational suicide over the past few years AND NEARLY NO-ONE LEFT. That's very important to understand.

Facebook has the same problem windows does: much of the normalfags "essential" things are covered by facebook the same way windows tries to make PC hardware and games "windows exclusive.". It's also the same reason amazon has money poured into it while memos are being leaked and dirty laundry is being aired by the truckload.

Normalfags know exactly how insidious this shit is, but treat both as a "necessary" evil rather than something to be discarded. That is solely the reason either of these companies and their platforms exist, because if a more useful thing came out that has the functionality that the old, evil thing has, they would jump ship in droves.

Why the fuck is every single technology board filled with more autistic niggerpills than /b/?

Well, not like Lincux is any better. Specially if you use it to emulate the desktop metaphor, one of worst computing metaphors to ever come out of the industry. You know those pesky and inefficient things that annoyed you on Windows? Well, they are replicated on Unix-like "desktop" but even worse than Windows because they are over-glorified by RedHat/freedesktop goons. It is basically an open sores implementation of everything that is wrong with Windows and Mac OS. You might as well call Lincux Windows Lite at this point. Not like the BSDs are any better. It is just that all the "innovation" wrought by freedesktoy orgynization arrives on Linux earlier. If you do use a Unix-like operating system, however, I recommend avoiding freedesktoy crap and anything that might be encumbered by it. If you happen to need such program, you can probably just utilize a few use flags to fix the program that pulls freedesktoy dependencies
