Interestingly Enough, some people actually advocate remaking the US Government as a corporation.

>Wikipedia Dark Enlightenment Article

>Neoreactionary Michael Perilloux proposes that President Donald Trump seize more power by canceling the United States Constitution, declaring martial law and replacing the government with The Trump Organization.[9] Similarly, Google engineer Justine Tunney circulated a petition to appoint Google chairman Eric Schmidt as CEO of America.[1]

>>55264

Interestingly enough, corporations have little to do with autocratic form of governing neoreactionaries advocate, despite the previous poster's uneducated remark.

>>49554

Those are actually official. The reason Ghost In The Shell movie is good is because it wasn't actually Shirow who actually wrote it. By the time the manga was produced, he only wanted to draw butts and tits, so the director only took the main idea from the source.

On the other hand, it's said Applessed is very good.

>>49564

>only wanted to draw butts and tits

Based Shirow.

Blame!

It isn't really expensive to eat keto. For example, I make a really nice soup out of Jalepeno, cream cheese, and tomato, with either some chicken or pork thrown into it. Bacon works really nice in it as well, and it isn't spicy like you'd think it would be having a lot of Jalepeno in it because the brick of cream cheese that goes into it counteracts the spice.

You can find a lot of Keto and Keto-friendly recipes online that are cheap and easy to throw together.

Get enough macros and calories so you maintain weight if you're not after weight loss. Carbs (also with vegetable oils) have been a cause of brain fog and sluggishness *for me* ( does not apply to everyone afaik) and I have a tangible increase in energy, my sleep is cleaner. If you have some sort of toxins stored in your fat cells, that shit will burn off too.

You may also get a side effect of needing less intoxicants for equal effects when you do indulge, even after factoring out tolerance breaks and whatnot.

>>54618

>To be fair, they re-cook them, so I think it's "safe" in that sense.

There is virtually no chance they reheat the food to a safe temperature. It would burn the already overcooked food and make it less edible.

>>52403

No this is bullshit, I know people who moved to Detroit during the collapse and who bought trashed out houses in southern Atlanta, it is livable but it isn't unpoliced. Squatting is very much enforced against in these sorts of areas for the most part at least in the current political climate. You just don't get this kind of shit like you see in Brazil where people live in shacks they built for 5-10 years continuously without being forced to clear out. Just doesn't happen in the US, anti-homeless patrols happen with a bi-monthly or every 6-months type of regularity it would seem. It just doesn't compare.

>>52405

I'm in Europe, so tell me because I don't know: homeless people do live somewhere, don't they? I had read some stuff about homeless communities. I remember they get some police visits, but they manage to establish some sort of communities.

Around here, there are squats that eventually get dislodged, but it only means the rhythm is a bit faster (6 months to a year usually instead of the 5-10 years you speak about).

That said, the (European) web of people that meet and connect in these places is maintained despite "evacuations". Information is shared (through fanzines, word of mouth…) about new places and people travel from squat to squat.

sounds dramatically true but I have a dog, waifu, and lots of bitcoin so idgaf.

>It literally ALWAYS happens. Its like freenet or Tor. The moment people build something to go against the neo-liberal global order it's flooded with nazis, pedos, and crazies.

This is the reason why freespeech platforms are not popular with the masses. The fringe "white genocide" posters are so absolutely toxic the co-opt everything in an effort to attract believers. Nigga just because you say /pol/ is cyber doesn't mean I am jumping on the white genocide train. Its ahistorical - no cyberpunk writer ever was. I am not that much of a shazbot. Mean while nazicancer fills ever thread and disrupts content, and platform fails.

Free Speech havens need to have normal, desirable OC to be viable alternatives to the masses. There is no way the masses are ever going to user platforms where every thread is co-opted by shazbots pushing fringe ideology.

These shazbots advocating 100% of the time in every thread for their fringe bullshit are killing free speech platforms.

>>55133

>freespeech platforms Free Speech havens free speech platforms

Anonimous imageboards were never about free speech, they always had a topic to be upheld and even /b/ always took some moderation. You're pretending they are something they are not by inserting your feelings in this, just like a retarded NEETsoc does.

>>55135

I didn't equate imagboards with freespeech, but fullchan is a free speech platform, and was litterally formed as such. Your point about lack of moderation \ne free speech is a well taken but there is more to it than just that. There a super minority of people who are exceptionally toxic. What they are doing isn't spam per se, but they manage to organically shill by making every conversation they have about advocacy for whatever pet topic fringe topic have. Probably a social solution is needed : "don't feed the trolls" and a technology solution "filter posts containing …"

>>55138

>"filter posts containing …"

I think that's a dangerous thing to do

>>55157

I don't mean at a service provider level, i mean at a user level. Like having user scripts (which already exist) to filter post by keyword.

The only thing that stops mean currently is fear of missing out on something good that accidentally includes the word "jews"

>>50616

>crying about /pol/ on 8chan

Do you not understand the concept of cross-posting?

And why the fuck wouldnt the kikes get brought up? They hold tremendous power.

Maybe you need to deal with /cyber/ as it is rather than /cyber/ as you want it to be.

>>54491

And this is why /pol/edditors should kill themselves.

>Cyberpunk is only so big, you can't be discussing it year round.

How big is cyberpunk ? Its hard even to define what it is. I want to say its futurist self-reliant stem-wizard/hacker with a schway aesthetic.

>>53909

Huel is hella schwayy though. Scientifically engineered cheap food is schaway.

>>55137

Disgusting.

>if the cord is embedded, what happens when it gets frayed

Well, you take the arm off and get it repaired or conduct repairs yourself, realistically. having some measure of plug-and-play functionality seems to make sense. It really would depend on how seamless the electronics are. I'd like a robotic arm to be a fashion statement, personally. I want it to be obvious that it's not natural. I'd construct the outer shell with angular shrouds and bulges and things that would both look schway as fuck and also house extra gadgets or auxiliary batteries.

If it's extremely integrated, well, you get surgery.

guys stop dressing like you're someone you aren't, people won't perceive you as what you want them to. dress practically.

>>22468

>having some measure of plug-and-play functionality seems to make sense

Plug In Play refers to IRQ's and DMA's being configured automatically.

You probably just mean modular?

lads can anyone recommend me if the boots in >>47953 are any good?

>>54904

personally I could not get past the first few pages, should I try again?

>>55086

It depends on what you like.

I liked the idea of the 'math' as a quasi-religious academia removed from the bullshit of everyday life. That goes away more and more and details about quantum mechanics, configueration space, neutron bombs, etc. start emerging, and the ending is an interesting excersize in strategy.

Its not cyberpunk per say, but definitely high tech, and kind of educational if you like science. Stephenson is an excellent writer generally. If the science stuff sounds boring, and you didn't like the beginning, you might not find it all that interesting. Its a long read, but I enjoyed it.

>>55087

Historically, pure math has always been the purview of the religious and philosophical, not of technicians. In fact, even to this day, technicians and other sorts of "uses math but doesn't develop it" types scorn pure math as being a useless trade, since most of modern routine human endeavour is achievable with only fairly basic math which is true but ignores the effects of the highest tiers of technicians/engineers/etc that do use advanced math creating that rising tide of technology that lifts all boats, necessitating more and more math skills be learned all the time to just stay relevant in the face of technologies that become newly common

>>54507

Also blockchains are going to shit, who woulda thought that an untraceable anonymous financial asset would be gamed by the same shitty bankers who fuck the economy all the time?

As for tesla tbh ev cars were really shit before the model s, even the roadster was meh

>>54529

>Also blockchains are going to shit

cryptos*

there's nothing wrong with blockchain tech, at least not in the way you mean there.

What the fuck are you even talking about? It's a keyboard layout.

You're supposed to use whatever works best for you, not what makes you look 1337, kids.

>>49516

well, you're on /cyber/ what did you expect

>>49510

Isn't that just a thinkpad keyboard torn out of the laptop?

>>49525

It is. External ones don't look as cool as this one, though.

schway.

Customizing your machine for power use is schway.

>>47454

>Using closed source OS, then talking about a "secure browser" is just… not relevant? In my personal opinion it is not.

Depends on your threat model. If you do not consider pervasive mass surveillance by government(s) a threat, and consider microsoft/adobe trusted parties, it can be meaningful to talk about a secure browser on top of Windows.

Of course, I cannot imagine any /cyber/ poster being down with pervasive mass surveillance, which makes all closed source code suspect.

I like SRware Iron. All the usual extensions are needed tho (ublock origin, https everywhere, random user agen switcher.

>>47424

Do you spoof or not spoof user agent?

I like the idea of the political advocacy that comes with telling service providers "I use *nix".

>protprietary pajeet chrome clone focused on "privacy"

>srware iron

Woah, we're reaching larp levels neither of lainchans achieved.

Here's a serious advice: start using Tor Browser and learn how it's designed, then pick a bare Soros/Firefox and tweak it for normal usage by removing home phoning but try not to fall into full placebo pit like Adnauseam/User Agent Switcher users do. Learn how websites identify and track you, learn how you can be infected or deanonymized through browser.

Stop visiting websites that break too much when you disable scripts or add lists to your firewall/adblock, there is 99% probability of those websites being shit and not having any meaningful information to gather from.

If you just need low attack surface, use simple HTML rendering browsers with no built-in javascript support like Dillo, w3m, Links. For videos, I'd assume you mean YouTube and the likes. Because simple embedded videos can be downloaded with right click.

Happily, a program called youtube-dl exists. It supports lots of websites to download from, it can even run live streams and you can send it's output to video player software. Should I say, you can also use it over Tor and still get reasonable speeds?

When you say secure you have to have a threat model.

If your threat model includes only an ordinary attacker using conventional methods (like say a pentester), simply having up to date software might be good enough. You can increase security margin by reducing attack surface: Limiting plugins installed, setting plugins click to play, limiting javscript, blocking unwanted third party content. Using corrective security measures like sand-boxing, or virtualization might be considered extreme (Qubes temporary VMs are awesome here). Detective measures like anti-virus, or HIPS might be useful as well.

If your threat model includes advertisers you might want to add to the above blackholing known addnetworks, disabling 3rd party cookies, periodically clearing cookies, possibly vpn/tor use . You also need to ask yourself if you trust your software vendors to do the right thing here. Consult the EFFs prism break guide. Operational security measures might be useful here as well.

If your threat model includes governments then do not use proprietary software.

Haven't read it in forever, but it's been floating in the back of my mind recently. I remember it being pretty good, but human memory is known for being unreliable at best.

F2F, by Phillip Finch

> The Verba Interchange is an electronic bulletin board, a virtual meeting place where anyone with a computer and a modem can exchange views, flirt, or argue with complete anonymity. But an ingenious serial killer is using the vast potential of the Net to choose victims for a deadly f2f - a face-to-face meeting.

It's going to become more and more commonplace as time goes on. GM was caught a few weeks ago harvesting info of what drivers were listening to on the radio. The fucking r-a-d-i-o.

On that note, does anyone know of any good forums that focus mainly on the tech side of cars, ie infotainment and disabling as much botnet as possible. /tech/ meets /o/
