oh well

browsing net was fun while it lasted

>>52176

No idea where you got the idea that tox had died, there are consistently like 20-40 people on it actively chatting everyday. Swells up on the weekends, Club Cyberia is still going strong.

>>52393

i meant the tox thing we wanted to create

tox by itself isnt dead, sorry for misunderstanding

>>52176

I just tried out this chatroom on tor last night and nobody at all was on it, and the logs of discussion in the scroll two days back didn't amount to much more than 'hey' 'whats up' do you guys actually have interesting discussions there or is it usually like this?

>>52406

we usually have interesting discussions. A lot of that stuff is in members chat. It is a bit lonely on working days and plus I'm too busy to spend time there right now. Really good stuff is on weekends.

Also note that activity peaks around 20 UTC

Sorry for doubleposting but also I'm usually available around 22:00UTC if that helps anyone contact me.

Fuck off leftyfag. Nobody here likes you, nor cares about your stupid gay ass trees.

My guess is that it's bishop trying to bury his larp thread. His friends on leddit are sjwfaggots and (((fellow whites)))

>>51698

Give me that 5 yen.

>>51705

This handle origin makes more sense:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakers_(1992_film)

Start of the second paragraph of the plot says the main character uses the handle "Martin Bishop"

no one cares about your puter kike

Get the book: Practical ELectronics for Inventors by Simon Monk & co. It is an information gold mine. A good reference when you need basic well phrased definitions and equations.

Get an Arduino/Teensy/ESP32 and start writing microcontroller code. The IDE is very simple and it automates many operations to allow beginners to stay focused on their project. Later on, you can tweak the compiler flags for better code quality or even ditch the IDE and use gcc & avrdude or whatever suits your evolutionary needs at that point.

You should get a sensors pack and start building a device that measures and acts upon the measured data. This would require you to read datasheets and familiarize yourself with the process of discovery.

Once you understand the basics of digital and analog (Debouncing, Sampling, Pulse width modulation, Interrupts, Timers, …) and communications protocols (Serial, SPI, I2C, I2S, …) the rest is up to your imagination.

Get a Raspberry Pi and get aquainted with the environment and stay low level.

Avoid Python at the beginning, do everything in C and assembly if you can.

Get a Lattice ICE40 FPGA (cheap: 1K, 4K, 8K logic elements) and use the "icestorm" open source toolchain to synthesize verilog, generate a bitstream and upload it to the chip. There are many ICE40 boards available: Ico board, ICEZero for Raspberry Pi, Lattice ICEStick, …

Sharpen your coding skills by writing as much code as you can with two optimizations in mind: smaller code size possible, fastest program possible. Also, study whataver code you find in the wilderness and learn to use GDB & objdump (or any equivalent tools).

Take a look at parallel programming: OpenMP, MPI, vectorization, …

Read the underlying hardware's documentation to understand its potential and how to exploit it properly.

I would recommand:

. Introduction to Algorithms, Cormen & co.

Not OP, just wanted to say:

It's great to see a post with this much effort. Nicely done, anon.

Although you may have overshot it a bit. After you're done with the first half, you'll know what to do next to hone your skills yourself. While the other half (C projects) contains great suggestions, at that point you should just focus on what you personally find interesting.

>>50528

Slap RiscOS on a Raspberry Pi. They have some real nice ARM assembly guides.

>>51407

i like the cut of your jib anon

>>51407

Yeah. Don't do this. You will get a Computer Science Education and be making iPhone apps before you know it.

Really it depends on what you actually mean by "hardware".

If you mean you want to do embeded systems, learning C, ASM, OS DEV, algorithims isn't horrible. But you will be doing embedded systems OS stuff. You could read Patterson, learn some electronics (Art of Electornics Hortwiz, Micro Electronica Circuits Sedra Smith), and go learn some logic design, then FPGA's and protype CPU's, but very few people end up designing CPUs.

If by hardware you mean "electronics" , then your fucked. Because , as far my inexpert mind can see, "Analog" is basically dead inasmuch as virtually any signal processesing you want to do is cheaper to do digitally, and easier to do by far digitally than analog. What effectively that means is analog electronics are being replaced by code. So go learn CS, and a "hardware" equilizer is replaced with an infinitely more customizable, cheaper to MASS produce , unrepairable , embeded microprocessor running DSP.

The economics are different of course, for a hobbiest. Its far easier for a hobbyist to construct a physical filter out a couple of analog components than to aquire microprocessor, but the prices on embeded systems are coming down, and people are actually using arduinos now in projects because they are affordable enough.

If by "hardware" you mean PC reapir, then I would half advise you don't do it and go learn CS instead. Hardware is increasingly unrepairable, parts market is absolute garbage because manufacturers don't want to make parts available, and people filling that niche void frequently sell ANYTHING they can find. The market is also flooded with poor but actually acceptable talent - IE. Effectively teenagers with some knowledge who are effectively able to work for little to no wages, and occasionally destroy customer hardware while working on it ("Oh! This laptop has a burned motherboard [because i just burned it]. Diagnostic Complete Quote the Customer")

Children, play nice.

>what about cyberpunk do you faggots even enjoy?

The cyberpunk genre depicts a dystopian future in which the nation-state has been essentially destroyed and replaced with multinational corporations. It's literally a scenario where multicultural globalism has run rampant, and is systematically annihilating localized cultures and identities and replacing them with raw, unfiltered consumerism. If you think that /pol/ would fantasize about being the authority figure in such a scenario then you are politically illiterate and don't know anything about their ideology.

>>52202

>Nah, it was the SJWs destroying it from the inside-out with retarded shit

>>52221

>I've been saying this for years. People think I'm nuts for saying it, but the pattern is a little too coincidental.

This is old-hat subversion tactics. Watch Bezmenov. Wars are no longer fought with weapons, but with ideas, and the way to kill your enemy is to infect him with illogical and untenable ideologies to such an extent that his core institutions destabilize and collapse. I wouldn't be surprised if they threatened Linus to get him to quit, so that the growing SJW movement could take advantage of the power vacuum to push through this bullshit.

>>52241

>The connections between big tech, intelligence agencies and "social activism" are insane.

The modern left will throw a fit about rich white men and corporate corruption, but won't bat an eye when multinationals and NGOs directly fund, support, and promote social justice movements.

>>52288

>but won't bat an eye when multinationals and NGOs directly fund, support, and promote social justice movements.

well yeah, liberalism is a war doctrine. it is at war with those bodies on behalf of other bodies.

it's all purely (((coincidence))) fellow player characters

>>51878

Linux looks like it might kill itself on its own at this point.

>>52041

There are definitely advantages, but the main problem is that you're giving all the data you store on the cloud to someone you've never met, and they can and will use it to screw you if they want.

Some "good" news reposting from /tech/, hehehehe:

At least tell me you're not using Win10.

>>51938

Or something like Redcore or CloverOS if you're a brainlet.

>las post 7 months ago

anyone still come here?

I know the term brouzouf is thrown around here a lot, but is EYE actually cyberpunk? There are cyberpunk aspects to its world sure, New Eden is cyberpunk incarnate. But at its core, especially when involving the player character and his story, it is much closer to grimdark.

What are your guys' thoughts?

>>51882

You'll find out the moment you know what is cyberpunk, good luck with that. I'll say it's just a cynical-leaning science fiction.

Anyone played Hackmud recently?

>extreme body modification is not cyber

>ability to pick genders and customize your meatspace avatar to every extend imaginable is not cyber

You're just being reactionary. Idpol isn't cyberpunk, but cutting off and welding on cocks to your body is pretty fucking cyber, fam.

>>51886

No. Child abuse is wrong and illegal. You should fuck off commie.

>>51510

Get off the board, /pol/tard. Cyber is not the place for you. You have /pol/. Keep your identity politics there, where they belong.

>>51894

Oh wow, I'm convinced that you were right due to your great arguments. Wtf I'm far-right now.

They ruined the internet

>>51816

This was already established decades ago, newfriend. Lurk moar

>>38927

despite the convenience, overall the internet has, IMHO, degraded human society as a whole.

>>39788

>it's a para-academic field of thought developed over the net in the last decade

>in the last decade

Nigger James Madison and all the rest of those old fucks knew about this two centuries and change ago. That's why they made the the country they built a republic, in a desperate attempt to keep this in check and avoid disenfranchising the marginalized and isolated.

Been havin' some issues with that one, actually. Apparently it doesn't actually save the damn thing and I end up having to re-"save" it every time I try to load a new page.

Eh.

bump so it wont get archived

I wish you best of luck, OP

Will certainly read
