Should I use a free VPN? Xiander 04/10/20 (Fri) 06:58:23 No.13142 [Open thread]

I often hear many people say that free VPN is evil. Why?

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.

So what makes Linux unique and better than windows? I installed Ubuntu and it's total cringe, doesn't support games and had to use wineHQ to run LoL and CoD, nevertheless the games are really slow and really low FPS, even the root user is disabled by default in Ubuntu

the only good use of Linux is pen testing and hacking IMO, using Kali of course.

>I installed Ubuntu and it's total cringe

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.

Otherwise, I agree with >>13066 on the rest of the points except the one about ubuntu.

I am not a programmer, not a developer, not a pentester, and still I don't use Ubuntu. Not everyone that doesn't run Ubuntu is a hacker, just people with more than a double-digit IQ. You are taking Linux users (or just Unix-like users in general) in too much of a high stem. Most of us are just semi-technical people that obtained above-average expertise on computers with practice.

>doesn't support games

*game studios only support the most used OS because all they care about is selling their games to enough people, and normies don't even know what an OS is, so they just use whatever is installed on their computer, which is usually Windows.

That doesn't mean that Windows is actually better.

What? You log into your regular user account and only run things with sudo if you need to, that's how it should work.

Do you run everything as admin on Windows? Are you retarded?

Try Manjaro or Arch. They're both great for gaming. Manjaro is plug and play but has some flaws, while Arch takes a bit of setting up and then it's fantastic.

Ad Trackers and Data Collection Anonymous 02/24/20 (Mon) 00:12:03 No.12137 [Open thread]

What do you think about the NSA or CIA spying on based Anon's? I find it far worse that there are Ad Services blatantly selling our personal information on some Amazon Webservices background service. No wonder whenever I go on eBay it always suggests me hunting knifes, fishing gear, or rifle scopes.

DuckDuckGo sounds like a good alternative, but it comes off to me like some kind of search engine equivalent of Aldi's. It still makes you fat but they say they're giving you some kind of feature like cheaper food or "less data collecting".

The reason it's considered bad is because it's owned by an ad company. Who owns it here is important because if you want a program that doesn't spy on you, the least trustworthy owners are governments and ad companies. Startpage got bought out by an ad company, that's enough for me and many others to not use it.

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).

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.

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

It's one simple instruction you couldn't follow.

Manjaro Gnome keeps freezing Anonymous 04/02/20 (Thu) 06:38:11 No.13022 [Open thread]

For some reason my computer seems to be very unstable. I have hunch that it might be because of my graphics card (5500 XT) or Gnome. I'm experiencing the same problem after switching from Ubuntu to Manjaro Gnome. The main difference being that Ubuntu wouldn't recognise my GPU and I had to install AMD's bash script (Which trashed the OS). Manjaro has no such problems, yet the main problem persists.

My $2,000+ AUD computer doesn't feel like a powerful machine that could do anything. Instead, it feels more like a buggy mess that could freeze at any second. Even if I only use Brave Browser, it still freezes about twice a day. When doing something like screen capture, video editing, or even just looking a pictures (gthumb), then at its worst, I'll have to do about 6 hard-resets per day. 'Snapping' a window to one side of the screen seems to be a guaranteed way of making the computer freeze up.

Computer Specs

CPU: Ryzen 3600 (Matisse ~ 7nm)

MB: ASrock B450 Steel Legend (Full ATX)

RAM: 2 x 8 Gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200 Mhz

GPU: Radeon 5500 XT 4Gb (Navi 14)

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2Tb

PSU: Corsair RM550x

Monitor: BenQ 1440p

AiO: NZXT Kraken X42

The motherboard by default limits the Ram speed to 2133 Mhz. I've booted Memtest and received no errors. Since then, I've changed the settings so that they run at their advertised speed of 3200 Mhz. Apart from that, I haven't overclocked or undervolted any of the components. The chassis also has a Noctua NF-A14 (140mm fan) for the CPU and the air-flow feels cool. When I learn how to install and use a suitable AUR program that substitutes the software provided by NZXT, I'll be able to check if the AiO pump is working or not. I want to do this before abandoning the Gnome ship. Is there something I'm missing?

Create a bootable USB with another DE, e.g. Manjaro KDE, and play around in the live environment for a little while and see what happens. Could be a bug in GNOME. I'm using an RX 5700 with Manjaro KDE and have had no issues whatsoever -- I frequently play things like Monster Hunter World at ultra with the high res texture pack, and all is peachy.

Pointer syntax Anonymous 03/30/20 (Mon) 20:06:47 No.12984 [Open thread]

int* foo = NULL;

int *foo = NULL;

Why do some people think that the * belongs to 'foo' instead of 'int'? The type of foo is not int, it's a pointer, the value it has is a memory address, so clearly the * is part of the type. foo is not even defined, it's NULL which makes sense for a pointer, but not for an int.

In fact I think the most logical syntax would be "*int foo = NULL;".

I thought about this before, its due to list declarations.

int* nigger, please; -> implies two pointers

int *nigger, *please; -> probably what you meant

I see, I very rarely declare multiple variables in one line like that let alone multiple pointers. Usually I have a struct for 2 closely related variables anyway, for example positions/dimensions.

>int *foo = NULL;

This is the correct way to format it. You should think about the statement as reading "the dereferenced type *foo is an integer." Then declarations like

int *foo, bar;

make sense, because both *foo and bar are integer types.

Seconded.

3 day battery life with heavy usage (constant texting, 10 calls, and 5 hours of shitposting a day) using the right rom and upgraded battery. Keep a spare battery or 3 handy. Can be used with OTG for 2nd wifi and loaded with Kali tools.

searx thread Anonymous 04/03/19 (Wed) 23:26:47 No.9637 [Open thread]

everyone seems to be shilling either duckduckgo or startpage, but nobody really pays attention to searx. it's an open source metasearch engine which you can host yourself or use with a public instance.

Probably not totally different from what google does under the hood, but to be able to be explicit about it could be killer. Imagine being able to categorize "normienigger" content so that when you want to know about some political topic you're not bombarded with retard gibberish from buzzfeed and its ilk. Use -(V)normie to filter out social media, or -(V)soy to filter out pop culture— not necessarily all of it, but the obvious prolefeed. Imagine having a way to tell youtube "I need videos about V('puters n' sheeeeit) but don't want any V(streetshitters) speaking their unintelligible patois." Imagine google image search, except not subverted to work incorrectly.

Imagine being the dude who returned truth and beauty to the internet, just by offering a service that isn't fucked up or retarded by design.

>I'm proficient in HTML/JS

From what I see you can do just about anything with JS these days. There's bound to be a Tensorflow for it, or a translation layer to python.

SearX is a meme, if you use a public instance you're trusting a random person, if you host your own instance then it's the same as searching google directly from an IP you own, just use duckduckgo, if you don't trust them then use their .onion service so they can't track you even if they wanted to

searx allows searching from multiple search engines simultaneously and gets rid of the tracking urls search engines typically bundle. if you selfhost on a vps and share it with multiple people, you get to blend the traffic with others and avoid using your home ip. searx fits perfectly the threat model for average joe.
