/tech/ - Technology★

This thead is worse cancer than the shit you whined about.

iktf. Josh, Jim, 4/pol/ influx, and now 4/g/ influx have all fucked the community. I'd just rather the board got back to being decent.

please leave

Looking at the board stats the 4channers stayed for a day, got sick of how dead the board was then bailed.

I went to 4chan today, because this board keeps going down (I got lots of timeouts and gateway errors). It was horrible. /g/ is full of threads like "programming socks", "wrist watch general", "smartphone general", "headphones general", and other thinly-veiled consumerist crap.

this

>>861096

That's fine, just don't act like one.

>>861096

Don't make me pull out my notes and use jargons that I don't really understand

>>861096

Sounds like you're the newfag, anon. Been here since 2014 and back then /tech/ was pretty good.

Yeah sure, whatevs. But let's really chew on what defines "worth reading" and "cancer" content, because I think OP is coming across as a bit vague.

>>861677

Your post for example is both not "worth reading", and is "cancer".

>>860947

>At this point faggots from halfchan would actually be an improvement this board has sunk so low

Nope. See >>860994

4/g/ is way the fuck worse.

hi i 'm from /diy/

sage

This sounds like a great CoC. Thanks for the contribution OP.

>>860947

I got tired of this board being so slow that I checked 4cuck /g/ earlier today. The average IQ is at least a standard deviation below /tech/. Is it worth it for the faster board? No.

And how the fuck does cuckchan even exist with VPNs all blocked? Are all these faggots, every goddamned one of them, seriously posting without VPN?

Are there any niggers in here posting without VPN?

ISHYDDT

Not that VPN is the be-all, and end-all of opsec, but Jesus Christ.

>>860947

I assume you're speaking from experience as that's a cuckchan maymay.

>I got tired of this board being so slow

Maybe an IRC room would be more your style. Message boards typically aren't as rapid as at IRC room can get.

>>875803

>Are there any niggers in here posting without VPN?

Why would my ISP care about me posting on an anonymous Taiwanese finger painting messaging system? The only thing they care about is not mass mailing people.

>>875803

I post with my normal ip address. VPN is a placebo. There's no guarantee that your VPN isn't building a database of your personal traffic. All you have is their word that they don't do such thing which is exactly how all ISPs work.

>>875803

>The average IQ is at least a standard deviation below /tech/. Is it worth it for the faster board? No.

True, that's why I keep coming to this dump as well. The level of discourse on sites like reddit or 4chan is just frighteningly low and predictable.

About VPNs, unless you're evading your country's jurisdiction or some kind of roadblocks, they are simply a scam. The paid once are placebo that simply can't offer you privacy despite marketing to the contrary, the free ones even Facebook has one now exist purely for datamining and tracking you.

4chan not letting you post from them is a red flag though, just like the Google captcha following you everywhere.

>>875803

You stupid cunt how the fuck is that even relevant to this thread?? Literally use the sticky you lazy fucking nigger.

10. Stop making meta threads/comments.

>pass all your internet activity to a single entity who promises not to look is a good thing

It seems better to just use tor or public wifi.

>>875982

>>pass all your internet activity to a single entity who promises not to look is a good thing

>passing all your internet activity to a single entity who promises to look is better.

The argument against a VPN is akin to not using a condom for unprotected sex.

"b-but the condom might break, so why bother?"

In certain places, britbongistan being a noteable example, the government promises to send a list of every website you visit to various government agencies to persue through. Given their previous history with data security this is obviously to give identity theft and blackmail criminals a helping hand and make the citizen's life a living 1984 hell.>>875982

>>876157

So VPNs are also secretly sending a list of every website you visit to the highest bidder to persue through. Big change.

>>860932 (OP)

Hey faggot

>>>/metatech/

fuck off

>>876295

No.

>>876295

Feds comp your VPN server's internet service, figure out only one faggot uses it, and then they cross reference that ip with your ISP.

>>876328

The internet is so retarded, can't anyone with the know how can do that? Its like a ninja trying to be sneaky and hide but cause of the way the woods are built the ninja has to drop a glow stick every 20 seconds. So dumb

>>876328

That should only work for services located within America. They shouldn't be able to compel services in other countries.

>>875982

Did you know you can proxy into a VPN you fucking moron? All you need to do is ensure your proxy is in a different non-cooperative jurisdiction from your VPN and they can both be snooping on you and proxy A will only know that you use a VPN and your VPN will only know that the traffic comes from proxy A and if they want to figure out who is doing what, the country of proxy A will have to ask the country of the VPN to fork over the data they were wiretapping on you and if you have a proxy in say Iran and the United States you know those intelligence agencies are never telling each other shit even if they're both snooping massively on the traffic, so neither of them will figure out it was you.

>>875942

>>875945

>>880242

Yeah, 4chan /g/ is royally shitting up the place.

>>886615

It helps to add more proxies in different countries. Basically the bigger the legal clusterfuck to get all those governments to cooperate on IDing your shit, the better. Plus, if even one of them cannot have their logs retrieved, the whole snooping effort is doomed.

All these points are literally the entire reason for sage. If you're going to pretend you're an oldfag, respect the old traditions. If some faggot doesn't like what you're posting, sage gives them an easy and convenient way to hide your post.

Shut up bitchnigger I will post however I want.
