Go home, botnet. We will not fall for your tricks.

>>913212 (OP)

It would be easier to ask the opposite. I don't have time to fight with clunky inferior software, I'd rather use botnet. See: Windows7, Photoshop

>>913215

Honestly, i use Windows 10, Ubuntu, and TAILS. It's kind of like the memory hierarchy only with respect for muh freedoms based on what I need to do.

Reddit spacing

I attempted to remove all spyware from Windows 10 but I accept the fact some is still there and it's compromised. My Ubuntu is encrypted and set up the only data collection is local, or if I prompt it to send some. Tails, of course, is non-persistent and I route it through a VPN so the gooberment doesn't even know I use TOR

>>913212 (OP)

>At what point would you embrace the botnet?

Never

Not even for flying cars that make you food?

>>913212 (OP)

If it was in service of purging jews and establishing a 1000 year ethno-state.

>>913212 (OP)

>At what point would you embrace the botnet?

At about a few inches in front of a bottomless pit, into which I would throw it afterwards.

>>913212 (OP)

what the fuck. neither of those are useful. every thread on this board with a pepe OP image is just trolling. i will use the (((G))) if they stop blocking tor maybe. i already use youtube via youtube-dl

>>913219

why would you even install winmeme 10? it serves literally no purpose. literally use 7 if you need something "modern"

>>nearly every fucking single feature is designed "social" or phones home

well are everyone using any of this shit? no

its not going to change if Microsoft actually makes better program the competition either and if they do its bad for the business as it can kill markets

so no

ALL CONFORMISTS SHOULD FUCKIN DIE

>I need a map to get to the grocery store, that is why Google has saved my life

fuck off normies

>>913219

Connecting to tor via vpn is less secure than connecting directly to tor itself.

>>913290

GPS is not botnet. It is a completely anonymous process.

GApps on the other hand are botnet and will probably send your location out

>>913212 (OP)

I'm already considering it with that Google AI voice calls thing.

I'd finally be free of spending three days in anxiety and depression every time I needed to make a call for some reason. That might just be worth becoming a Jewgle drone for.

>>913212 (OP)

If I move to a country (and become its citizen) where I am confident that the government and the other people won't mistreat me (such as Finland for example), then I probably won't give a shit anymore. Maybe have a tiny separate machine (Android tablet?) for banks and stuff and that's it.

>>913212 (OP)

I don't have a cell phone because botnet. Don't see any other new gadget changing my mind.

>>913212 (OP)

>affordable ai assistant

Even if it was free I'd be indifferent.

>that could do chores

I'm a homesteader, what you call "chores", I find much more meaningful and fulfilling than normie wagecuckery.

>be a friend

I have friends, but even if I didn't my wife, kids, and family provide me with all the socialization I could want.

>make appointments

Meh, I haven't had to book an appointment for anything this year.

>fly you places

Are you talking about booking flights or a literal AI transport pod?

Either way, I don't fly unless I absolutely have to, and I'd rather be in control of my own vehicle regardless. Don't like globalism? Don't like pollution? Don't like being tracked as you travel? Buy local.

>Connecting to tor via vpn is less secure than connecting directly to tor itself.

Why?

>>913212 (OP)

As I place the elastic strap over its head and turn on goodnight gas.

>>913313

It's pretty much a worse first hop into the network. Instead of going to a random entry node of the tor network, you go to a fixed server.

>>913301

Your VPN will just see what your ISP would otherwise see

>>913250

EOL of Windows 7 is 2020, and my school gave me a legit license for free. A bunch of other licenses for stuff only on Windows 10 too

>>913298

>Just use an Atlas

Ok Grandpa

>>913304

This is what made me consider embracing it originally

>>913312

AI transport pod

And by chores i mean he'll do anything you don't want to

>>913359

All you need is a map, right? You can get a fancy paper one in gas stations, or you can just print out map on your computer. No GPS needed, if you can properly study a map and plan route.

>>913212 (OP)

> but if they made an affordable ai assistant that could do chores, be a friend, make appointments, and even fly you places

but if they made an affordable ai assistant that could do chores, be a friend, make appointments, fly you places, choke you to death in your sleep, report your secrets to anyone, force you to stay at home and make suggestions for you to buy shit that you didn't need I would kill myself right now.

>>913301

>Connecting to tor via vpn is less secure than connecting directly to tor itself.

No.

>>913459

You are adding more complexity and more points of failure to the process for 0 benefit at all.

>>913468

The benefit is that what you do on TOR can't be traced back to you even if most of the nodes TOR routes through are compromised, as long as your VPN provider doesn't keep logs.

If the nodes aren't compromised, the VPN provider only sees that you're connecting to TOR anyway and so it's irrelevant.

>>913478

If you can't be traced back, then why use tor at all?

>>913488

Hopping through a vpn first prevents your ISP from knowing you're on tor at all.

>>913491

By letting another isp know that you're on tor? If you are idiot, use vpn, but you pay two isps instead of one isp.

>>913491

Ignoring the fact they can use traffic analysis to see when you are potentially using tor through your vpn, why worry about your ISP knowing that you use tor?

My ISP and my school's ISP don't care at all that I connect to tor.

>>913494

It's about spreading jurisdiction you fucking mong.

>>913212 (OP)

Never. Which is why I plan to build my own processor with an FPGA, a bespoke OS, and a very primitive web browser. Without the man power, I won't obviously be competing with wintel or potteringtel for performance, but at least I'll know what my hardware really does. In the beginning, I'll be able to make do by cross compiling programs to my architecture. What license will it be? If I release it, GPL.

inb4 fpga botnet due to proprietary xilinx tools.

At the point I get money for using it, only on work computer.

>>913727

Anon, just because something is too hard for you, doesn't mean others cannot do it. Many computer engineering students build processors as a course project, and a talented programmer could easily write a toy operating system.

>>913727

Counter sage

>>913750

That's all fine doing a toy computer for the sake of education but do you honestly want to use an OS that has less power than an Intel 386 and less features than a DOS machine?

>>913355

>Instead of going to a random entry node of the tor network, you go to a fixed server.

t. nigger who has 0 knowledge about how tor works

See, the first node is also called "Guard node" only chosen randomly on first start, then it persists through all sessions. Why does it do so? Because stable first node statistically lowers the probability of being owned by CIAniggers, das rite. Capisci, my little friend?

>>913497

First hop VPN on abroad VPS allows you to scramble and obfuscate traffic patterns even further than obfs Tor bridges do it. An OpenVPN tunnel with garbage traffic flowing in both sides is less suspicious than a "private" Tor bridges distributed though bridgedb because said bridges could potentially already be in your IPS/government censorship lists.

Then there's such esoteric arcane things like GoVPN.
