Studying the occulted (hidden) knowledge about this realm and identifying references to it in media, esp. in Serial Experiments Lain, anything by Trigger or Anno.
Western media has a lot of subtle refs, but based Nippon goes all out and lays the cards on the table like they want everyone to KNOW. Japan has been suppressed by GCHQ censors under "war guilt information program", and the anime genre is engaged in an underground information warfare both with the west and internally (anime contains much pro-west propaganda, see blondes, or stuff like K-ON which sucks western cock over its music, tea, snacks, and includes a trip to UK w/ sightseeing).
TL;DR: Watching the shadow war burn the world.

Once headsets are high res enough not to have any SDE and maybe near the same FOV as regular sight I'd buy one.
I'd love to be able to replace every screen in the house with a VR headset. Photorealistic environments, using a virtual monitor to play some old vidya while watching a movie on what looks like a 100 inch screen.
I'd probably find life a lot more tolerable if I can put on a headset to slip into an environment indistinguishable from the real one.

Last post was the tldr for people who don't want to read the following.
To clarify, it was cross platform internet drama, spawned by youtube ecelebs larping as nazi's, who later turning into antifa with doxxing people, then doing "scientific" research to attack bigger, "altright" ecelebs some of whom weren't rightwing at all, getting caught red handed, and their "research" proven to be all kinds of retarded, then themselves doxxed. Everyone around them were losing their minds over it and having "intellectual debates", which was really more jewish people larping as nhadzees reeeing at each other on youtube and in discord servers…
It was like multiple high speed car crashes, sounds horrible but was fun to watch, it started a year ago, but the best of it lasted for half a year.
It was really easy to fuck with them as they were all super paranoid and sleezy, suprised me how badly they treated each other to keep their patreons and superchats safe. It spilled over into irc and back into 8ch when the ecelebs who didn't know how 8ch work thought /cow/ was /baph/, /pol/ and "altright" rolled into one and proceeded to try to raid, personal army request, shill the place up and when that didn't work they tried to shut it down by shitting up threads, getting their discords to run dnc and reporting threads but the mods there are great and keep up with the drama and helped tracking the ecelebs posting histories. Some of the ecelebs are still there from time to time. Youtubers like mundanematt, krautandtea and his friends, vee, sargon, and the majority of the "youtube rational skeptics" got so buttblasted they personally tried to troll and reason with /cow/ like it was a group of like minded individuals. Sargon and vee literally declared war, at least twice, on 8ch, thinking it was full altright.
It got so bad for vee, metokur had to sit vee down in livestream and explain to him how imageboards work to save him from himself because vee was sitting in /cow/ all hours of the night, for days, he was getting visibly disheveled and ill looking in his videos, he wasn't sleeping, it lasted 3 weeks before he got saved by metokur.

I don't know for sure, I didn't look to much into the document other than skim it. Journalists were reeing about discord nhadzees during the trump election so they probably knew it from there. If I had to guess, they got the links from cuckchan. discord is not accepted anywhere on 8ch or at least the boards I lurk and /cow/ wordfilters it to "botnet" or something similar.
journalists were contacted re the bloodsports mess but they all ignored or walked away once they got an eyeball full of the sheer autism. "academics" were apparently told to stay away from it also, allegedly, according to a VC recording of krautandtea but I don't think academics involved mentioned this shitfest to anyone irl.
I stopped following the ibs thread too closely for a couple of months now as not much was happening, I'm looking at it again because kraut is back and he's really angry. Theory is, he's going after his hitlist again, he's started making vids shitting on people and metokur's fb, twitter and youtube all got hit at once which is a coincidence.

Yeah, it's a mess. I enjoy piecing together the lore, getting that deepest lore. /cow/boys are good at archiving though, I've archives of ibs up to a couple months ago. Like data brokers of useless information that no one wants to buy.

Literally any decentralized trust-less ledger.
Do you want to form a Decentralized Autonomous Organization but keep immutable records of its minutes, or votes?
Do you want to store files in a decentralized trust-less way? (File Coin)
Do do you want to have a name-store in trustless way? (Name-coin).
How about a decentralized virtual computer running a program ? (Etherium) running your back-end for decentralized uber which has been derezzed and order to be shutdown by the government, but the software isn't hosted anywhere per se.
Etc.
There are a variety of use cases, they all exist where you demand trustless decentralization. So if you believe that name resolution can be run by a centralized mission driven non-profit (InterNIC) or a government (ICANN) then you might think that NameCoin is retarded and hugely wasteful of resources as demanding every computer store a ledger, verify it, and protecting the ledger with hash power, might be too costly. I have a physics professor, who thinks that bitcoin shouldn't exist for this reason - because he believes the energy costs are not worth the environmental expenditures, because he trusts the governments to manage brouzouf supplies. So depending on your level of trust, you can deploy solutions accordingly.
Its hard to imagine that a corporation would willing adopt a block chain, because the corporation has trusted central authority - itself. Likewise, it would be stupid for me to deploy namecoin to run local network name resolution for my network, because i can have a central authoritative database that I trust, managed by myself. Its only when you want mass cooperation of anonymous individuals that decentralized trust-less technology sounds good. Something corporations are not likely to require. Of course that hasn't stoped them from campaigning / fantasizing about the hype anyway.

I was saying that a decentralized trust-less ledger is exactly the kind of technology that is usually not helpful to centralized actors like corporations or governments, who can exploit the trust the have in their organizational / institutional structure to operate a centralized database without protecting with hash power - they just protect by having separation of duties, backups, and ability to wreck your life if you cause them harm.

Literally none of these require a blockchain to accomplish.
Syncing signed commits from one host, a central authority, to a network of other hosts, clients, containing the same ledger of commits accomplishes the exact same thing in each example completely without a blockchain.

>Syncing signed commits from one host, a central authority, to a network of other hosts, clients, containing the same ledger of commits accomplishes the exact same thing in each example completely without a blockchain.
Except it doesn't. Because if you have a central source of truth, you are trusting the authority not to omit 'blocks'. For instance, I could post signed meeting minutes, and you simply remove them retrospectively - unless you build in a a dependency of signed data from one block to another, so that , some 'chain of blocks' is immutable without recreating a series of signatures, that grows more difficult as blocks scale.
You are effectively recreating the block chain. You might omit 'mining blocks'. And you might omit p2p architecture. Which fine, you have a semi-centralized trustless database that is a cousin of the block chain. If you want to incentivize peer replication for availability, and perhaps community trust, you might want those two features.
Again, I said in the post you responded to that your demands for decentralization and trust-lessness drive blockchain as a solution, and depending on your degree of faith in a central authority for the specific problem, you might opt not to have a blockchain, even if a block chain could fulfill the technical requirements, because a blockchain is fundamentally inefficient - its far "cheaper" (in storage, network bandwidth, hash power) to have a central authority. A blockchain isn't the only solution its a solution, depending on your degree of trust in a central authority. If you are that authority your degree of trust might be 100%, and there may never be a reason for you to use a blockchain.

schway, what are you so argumentative over? You asked for a use case. i listed a bunch and actual projects doing them. I explained trust-less-decentralized and why impact that makes on choosing a blockchain V.S. no block chain solution.
You tried to invent a way to make your database trust-less but basically end up reinventing blockchain.
Right now, its like you never read any of what I wrote, a traditional relational database is not a trust-less decentralized ledger. The literal defining question of do I use block chain or not, is :
>Do I need a decentralized, and trust-less ?
Can a centralized traditional relational database offer you a decentralized trust-less ledger? No. Attempts to force it end up reinventing the block chain, because that's what block chain does.
If you don't want to understand that don't.
Whats your ulterior motive ? If your trying to argue block chain is inefficient I conceded that above when talking about design considerations. If your trying to argue corporations using block chains are mostly hype, I conceded that. If you don't understand what a block chain is , but what to win an anonymous internet argument I can't help you.

Yes. Please implement national voting using only mysql without relying on a trusted authority or central voting server.
You asked for A use case, not the use case, not a case where it was impossible to use a relational database, you asked for A use case.
But rather than accept that an answer to a question you genuine had, its instead a challenge to an argument you didn't admit up front you wanted to have.
Your constructed solution isn't trust-less or decentralized - despite what you might think. And I pointed that out, that the administer of the central server could simply omit or remove items from the database later. How do you deal with that problem? Do you have a central server administrator with a central key, who approves and signs commits to the database, and then publishes them ? Thats a centralized solution that requires trusting the admin.
You can build a block chain on top mysql, but its not trivial. Its ridiculous to pretend that a traditional relational database has properties like a block chain.
Despite what you might think about how informed you are, blockchain like technology hasn't existed for decades, which is why a decentralized digital payment system didn't exist, and which is why there is all kinds of intrest in blockchain, and what use cases it might make sense to explore it in.
But litteraly, your so much smarter than everyone else:

At which point, any of the non-authorative clients with the prior commit history could point out the the change. No proof of work, global consensus, blockhain needed. Shit, it's almost exactly how CBC works, but you're doing it with PGP and SHA.

Okay! If you can trust a centralized authority to operate your system, you can do that. In many cases that's fair and accurate. I trust myself to maintain a local DNS server. Maybe its just some kind of philosophy difference and you believe everything is capable be subject to some central authority.
CBC isn't used for data integrity. Central Admin could build an entirely different branch with more 'blocks' than original branch, and while its true people could point out that admin signed a different branch, this wouldn't stop this from working at a technical level. Admin could say signatures where a mistake, key compromised, etc. If you were to do something important like have voting rights, housing titles, financial system etc. enforced technical by such a system it would be vulnerable to abuse up to the point you trust the admin. Its not trust-less.

Have any cyb tips for clothing design? All of the software seems to be closed source and extremely restrictive, which definitely isn't cyb.

also look at designing your own carrying cases and bags for laptops and misc gear with kydex, metal frames, vacuum forming, and sewing nylon or tech materials with extra protection inside like lightweight ballistic plates or thick anti-theft materials, pockets, or padding.
Each of these requires considerable skill to do well, but can be started for as little as materials and a cheap sewing machine (you can buy used ones and fix them too, since they are not too mechanically complex)
You can draw inspiration from military products, then figure out how to make them not-military (different colors or out of other materials)

Have you considered designing stuff without the aid of a computer? It might sound un-水 but it's possible, and lots of people do it for amateur/hobby/non-mass-scale clothing design. it's also easier to test for fit/cut/etc by just putting the paper panels together and seeing if it looks decent, and you can more easily tear or fold paper than you can with fabric (at the very least, you have to iron fabric to get a nice good fold, and cutting it is usually sloppy and it's 100% always better to hem stuff properly and hide the torn edges)

>implying ""cyberpunk"" clothing isn't all molle and tactical shit that clips/straps onto other tactical shit
im just joshing you but also i have some real concerns and would like to add on to youre points
>reuse old clothing (torn thrift store rain gear can still be cut to make new clothes)
in addition to this, taking them apart into panels will show how they come together, which is very useful to learn babbys first tailoring and eventually go into making whole garments
>use hi-tech materials (you can buy bolts of Kevlar, Mylar, gor-tex, plastic etc.)
not necessary, just tape ur seams
>lern 2 fix sewing machines
sewing machines aren't that complex but the sheer number of moving parts, all of which are cast or milled, pretty much precludes traditional fixer-upper style improvement of sewing machines. but on the other hand, your average Singer is so fucking robust that it being "broken" is usually just a matter of a replaceable part (which havent changed since like the 70s) or the thread tension being wrong, or just using shitty thread

(I'm the first person you replied to)
I'll honestly have to try that. I've always liked clothing design aesthetically and have planned out designs I'd like on the net, but I've never actually tried sewing something or reverse engineered existing garments. Now that you mention it, it seems like a great idea.
Thanks for the inspiration anon.

tbh my lad if you're actually interested in sewing or tailoring and have not yet at least examined normal clothing, you're a fucking poseur cunt
im guessing your "designs" are just ripoffs of ubisoft protagonist character designs, and not actual garment patterns

Lmao what. I enjoy aesthetics more than making random retarded looking clothing, so my focus had been on color palettes, designs, etc. more than making some ugly "look at me I'm a fashion design student" garments.
Apologies for the fact that we focus on different aspects of clothing, I guess? You appear to think yours is superior.

Do you enjoy tailoring –as in, the act of Creating A Garment or Causing A Garment to Fit– or do you just like looking at pretty outfits?
>we focus on different aspects of clothing
Patterns, as in clothing patterns, are clothing. A pattern is the prototype of something that is to be worn. If you don't care about such measurements, you don't care about clothing. Clothing, and really most of sewing, is all about how flat panels of fabric come together to make something that could and should be worn, whether it's a flowing dress for some man's halloween costume or a tight canvas wrapping for a crate of cryptographic equipment.
To say you care about "aesthetics" over anything else is worse than meaningless; it shows that you don't even care enough to care that you only care about meaningless things. What is "aesthetics"? Do you mean you care about form-fitting? Do you care about comfort? Do you care about cost or value? Do you prefer some types of cut or fit over others for any good reason? Or do you just fantasize about looking like you're straight out of Ghost In The Shell or Watch_Dogs? You've thrown out a garbage phrase that says nothing relevant to the craft. You are a poseur cunt who hasn't even tried to be otherwise.

Mushroom farming. Oyster mushrooms are capable of converting newspapers and cardboard pulled off of the street into food. Hell, they can break down fucking motor oil. Growing your own food from the junk of a wasteful civilization is very cyberpunk, especially if you use advanced techniques to control co2 and oxygen levels, light, water, etc.

I don't know man. Plants in general are capable of converting dirt into food.

You could make some serious brouzouf if you got some psilocybe cubensis spores and grew those on some rice or what have you. The investment would be almost nothing and people will spend enormous amounts of brouzouf on them. Unfortunately you'd need a large network to make it viable for a long time as most users only take it sporadically. The chance of LE involvement is near zero considering that mushrooms are never a priority.

I only have 2 laptops currently in use (one for watching anime in bed, one for actually taking out of the house).
But I have a home server setup, a desktop running OpenBSD, a desktop running Artix, and currently waiting for the Raptor Blackbird arriving to have a third desktop, though not so sure what I'm running on it. Probably will end up being some homelab setup for testing/learning sysadmin stuff.

I am sure this all sounded pretty 水 to you, but spending thousands on a workstation you dont know what you will do with is ill advised. Sys admin stuff on a.work station with an obscure arch doesn't make much sense - 1 you should probably be doing work on a server via ssh from any laptop and 2 you probably want that server to use a common arch while training so you know issues you encounter are your own doing not bugs in an experimental arch. That talos is an expensive ssh terminal or an untested, obscure server either way not prime training material.
All that said Talos is 水水水. And i am glad someone is buying them. We needmore machined like this.
