from what I read online Haiku is getting it's last beta release pretty soon, with next major release finally being R1
one of the features of Haiku that interest is its filesystem-level tagging system that allows you to pretty much make a booru out of your image folder. Would it be a good OS for my X220 laptop?

The GPL is the only open source license that has been legally found to be enforceable. But only the FSF has the finances to pursue legal means and they're been corrupted from the inside out, so...

Funny how they try to stifle any discussion on this though, especially this one which rightfully asserts that their aislop rewrite cannot be copyrighted since they did not even write it: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/325

They don't have the manpower for that. Didn't Xfce see no development for over a year at one point?

Their best bet (along with the maintainers of other distros based on GTK3) is to just fork GTK3 and maintain it with each other and give GNOME the middle finger it deserves.

>>43098113
It's interesting times ahead at least. Either a lot of DEs will go under or change drastically or they become truly independent from GNOME. That should be better for the Linux ecosystem in the end. Actually, the worst thing would be if GNOME said something like "Because so many projects are still dependent on GTK3, we won't cancel its support".

oh hey my favorite thread is back!
So far I've been working more on my podman and niche networking autism and this has culminated in me giving yggdrasil a look.
But I wasn't too happy it basically goatsees everything you got running locally to its network without proper firewall rules.

So I made it into a container, you can find the sauce here: https://files.catbox.moe/8gzbm8.zip

Basically this allows you to expose anything you want onto yggdrasil, just generate a config file, add some public peers, pass it to the container and you're good to say what you wanna expose onto yggdrasil and as a nice bonus you can even make the port it runs on locally a different one in yggdrasil so you could totally have something running on port 69420 be accessible on port 80 in your yggdrasil IP.

The compose file I linked has jellyfin as an example but you can use whatever it is that you want or just pass an IP and a port.

In short this thing allows you to share stuff via yggdrasil. Why does it matter? It means you're free to access whatever you want, without an account remotely and glowies cannot do anything about it. Even if you're behind CGNAT.
If you want to make let's say a private minecraft server for you and your friends just get them to install yggdrasil on their machine have them add peers then they can just punch in your yggdrasil's v6 address and you're on! If you wanna be sure only your friends can connect nothing simple just set ufw to deny all incoming traffic except for the one coming from your friend's yggdrasil IPs. None of these IPs will ever change as they are tied to your identity on the yggdrasil network.

Even shorter: anon is tired of ngrok so he uses basement dweller shit to get his way.

>>43098135
Sounds interesting. Anything to escape big corpo internet. But the project says it doesn't guarantee anonymity, so what exactly is the point of it compared to say an .onion or .i2p page?

By the way, does anybody have any experience setting up IPFS nodes? How does that work exactly, how do you guarantee what you pin stays available to everyone without serving the file yourself indefinitely?

>>43098174
>The project says it doesn't guarantee anonymity
That is correct. It's not an anonymous network at all from what I have read.
By that I mean peers know you are and where your traffic goes, just like the internet.
However, note that peers cannot know what it is you're sending over the wire as everything is end to end encrypted.
Think of it as an internet alternative your ISP can't block and that has pretty much the same use case as tailscale / zerotier without accounts.

For anonymous use one cool thing you can do is use it as a gateway for i2p so you can use it to access i2p over Yggdrasil which makes blocking your i2p access from your ISP impossible and does guarantee anonymity as the only thing you'd see coming through Yggdrasil is doubly encrypted noise via i2p's NTP / SSU wrapped inside yggdrasil's e2ee.

>IPFS
I haven't tried that but that'd be worth a look. It doesn't seem too complicated.

>>43098135
Btw I'm a dumbass and forgot to specify your config file need to have this line in it:

AdminListen: unix:///tmp/yggdrasil.sock

Else the containers will bitch about privileges as it tries to create the socket it listens on for connections in a place the container user can't reach.

>>43098190
>i2p over Yggdrasil
Wouldn't it make more sense to use Yggdrasil over I2P?

>>43098204
You could? But I don't see the point over using an outptoxy to the clearnet instead?
I2p over Yggdrasil just means to use Yggdrasil as a gateway to i2p if i2p nodes are blocked or something.
It really boils down to what you want to access. If you want to anonymously access sites on Yggdrasil (there pretty much isn't any) then sure Yggdrasil over i2p is perfect.

No, IE was actually better than Netscape at one point and I also switched to it at the time for the simple reason that Netscape decided to be a "suite" filled with shit nobody needed (same with Altavista and Google which happened around the same time, this dumb idea that tacking on useless shit makes things better). The browser was the slowest PoS imaginable back then and that's why their project only became interesting again once they dumped all the excess baggage and developed Firefox. But they don't seem to have learned from this at all, because they keep bringing in shit nobody wants and aping Chrome when nobody who uses Firefox wants those features anyway, otherwise they wouldn't be using Firefox in the first place.

>>43104859

It's important to ask nowadays: who finances them, and are they hellbent on implementing every feature (including clear anti-user features) that some "standards body" like the WHATWG that is really run by big corporations decides to develop?

Let's put a bit lighthearted spin on this dire topic. What stuff would be agewalled in Equestria's web, and how would small ponies conspire to access it nonetheless? Don't say pr0n.

>>43107759
clop
^:)

>>43107759
I don't think anything would need to be agewalled on the Canternet, because ponies don't seem like the kind of characters to put vile stuff online in the first place. I guess since they're a species that developed to use sex as a means of strengthening bonds just like apes and we humans have they might have porn. Whether there's a lot of it or not depends on whether you headcanon estrus season to be "super horny mode" or just as regular levels of sexual activity (like we have all the time) while ponies are innocent outside of estrus. Also, since mares are not 3DPDs, incel/simp culture wouldn't exist in Equestria so there's less of a demand for porn since every mare and stallion will find his happily ever after one day.

Believe me: when some Russian faggot follows American example and goes postal over Applejack the state will outlaw "brony community, /mlp/"

>>43109188
Yeah, Adobe hasn't really been adding anything useful to most of their tools since they went subscription-based. You can just use Photoshop CS6 and it will work just as well as their latest version would. Hell, I was using the copy of Photoshop 5.0 I got in high school way into the 2000s and it still served most of my needs. I'm just using Acrobat because if you're working with PDFs it's pretty much a necessity, especially to use the latest version.

>>43108323
I don't think where you live is going to have any impact, except for proprietary OSes maybe. For linux, the question is whether the devs will integrate something to satisfy the law or not.
The biggest legal risk is to organisations that aren't faceless random individuals, such as Canonical, Red Hat. The latter of these is a US business, so if their products are available in cali and cali decides to sue, they could genuinely be liable. But worse than these distributors is the Linux Foundation, which afaik is the main funding body for kernel development and is also US-based.
For the kernel, there's hopes that it doesn't quality as an "OS" and is legally not responsible for this. For small, non-corporate distros, there's a chance that they might make some token effort to block california and other affected states, probably trivially bypassable but might give them legal deniability. But they might also not want to "block" users even in a bypassable way - I remember seeing something from either Canonical or Debian about exploring compliance with the law, to be able to continue distributing in cali. More might follow suit.

There's also the very real risk that right now it's just one or two states, but eventually it will spread globally. Much like how ID verification was at first just a couple US states only for porn websites, then the UK made it mandatory for all kinds of websites and social media, and now it's being expanded to even more states and even more countries and even wider reach. The OS age verification passed in Cali and IIRC is in motion in two or three more states now and could easily be picked up by more countries and states. At that point it becomes less and less feasible to "just pretend to block the affected area(s)" and expect legal immunity, not to mention devs will be more and more likely to have their home country affected.

The other question is what will the age check even look like? From my cursory awareness of the laws, my understanding is that a simple unverified "enter your age: " text box would satisfy it. There is of course the risk that this is all a slippery slope and follow-up laws will quickly tighten this to require ID verification.
But since linux is open source, you will always be able to disable this. The question is, how easily? Normal people usually can't compile a userland from scratch on installation. Would providing a helper script to do so in the installer be legal? Would providing patches that users can apply to an ISO before installation be legal? Maybe. It does depend on how far the government goes to close all loopholes, and I think it's pretty unlikely that it will really go so far as to make age verification mandatory on linux; controlling true decentralised open source code is extremely difficult.

>>43109415
The real danger IMO is not for laws affecting linux, but laws requiring attestation at the service level. Compared to patching all the loopholes like "distributing educational tools that can patch an ISO to disable verification is illegal", it would be much easier to simply start making laws that basically say
>online services must require a legally approved cryptographic age attestation
And then "approving" your attestation costs $500k in adminstrative fees. Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook get their shit approved, using ID verification to ensure the age is accurate. One of them, maybe Google, releases an open source "attest yourself with our keys" library that calls into Google servers to verify your ID and then runs as a daemon providing remote attestation on demand, so linux distros can just include it and be legally compliant. And anyone who doesn't run the google daemon or send their ID to them, is barred by all websites and network services that want to be legally compliant with US and EU laws. So everyone who doesn't comply is reduced to playing single-player games, visiting websites hosted in Russia/China/Iran, and chatting over i2p or some shit.

IMO this is a lot more likely than them ever actually bothering to regulate Linux and open-source OSes directly. If they just go after enough website hosters and force them all to verify the attestation, it will effectively mandate proprietary attestation for all users regardless of your OS.

>>43109415
>>43109432
this whole ID age verification is failing miserably because no one fucking knows how to implement it properly, including operating systems

>>43109505
They're figure it out eventually. They law only exists in like 3 places in the world right now and it's only been like a couple of weeks. Even Cali's deadline for implementing it isn't until 2027.
For example when the UK passed their child verification laws it took a couple of months until more and more websites either integrated actual ID checks, or blocked the UK. Or for an older example, when GDPR passed companies had months to update their data policies to comply and they all mostly did it last minute.
They also don't have to prosecute anyone if they don't want to, so it doesn't feel "unfair" at first but then they can easily ramp up enforcement when they feel like people have solutions figured out.

It's all a gradual process, there's a few laws now, in a year or two it will become widespread, within another year or so enforcement will ramp up. And within another 3-5 years, or maybe 10 years or whatever, they will start on stricted verification or attestation laws.

Think about how porn sites have required a "are you 18+?" checkbox for many many years now, and only recently they've started upgrading that to requiring serious verification. It doesn't happen overnight.

The UK law is mostly companies regulating themselves because they're not interested in legal activism

>4chan told Brits to fuck off and their entire master plan to regulate the Internet fucking failed
For now, because they aren't affected yet.
My entire point is that this shit spreads, the UK was just the first major one to add this law and implement it.

>>43109531
>My entire point is that this shit spreads, the UK was just the first major one to add this law and implement it.
well yeah, it does spread (DSA in EU, eSafety in Australia), but the thing is that nonsensical legislatures aren't going to work under federal law of the US
IMO we're reaching the point where US IT companies would rather leave the European market than try to comply with their draconian laws

It helps to desolder the BIOS chip and solder on some DIP socket so you can just take it out and re-flash it whenever something goes wrong. Obviously, that's also something not everybody is able to do.

Aside from modern ThinkPads being supported (don't check how old T480 is) I saw someone porting it to Zen 4 FW16 on top of openSIL despite the latter being supposed to launch with Zen 6, and the Dashfags were porting it too to some consumer Zen 5 motherboard. Great news, even if they'll end up not fully functional.

I’m on Linux Mint 6.6.2, starting steam off of the terminal works fine, but the desktop/applet bar start just crashes me back to Lock Screen with a casper md5 checksum error.
I think I either gotta fix the desktop file, disable Casper md5 with sudo, or reinstall steam if I remember correctly?

Yeah, I should perhaps do this but it's laziness, really.

>>43120322
Better IMO if you have something in particular you're trying to learn/do. Recent example:
>be me
>bought a bunch of 6400 MT/s DDR5
>motherboard will only run it at 4800 MT/s no matter how high I set the speed in the BIOS
>read about overclocking on server motherboards and find out it's basically not possible
>you can underclock if you want, but otherwise it sticks to what the RAM itself claims to support
>read about how RAM reports its speed to the motherboard using JEDEC and XMP/EXPO profiles
>the RAM was listed as 6400 MT/s at 1.4v, which usually means that's the XMP/EXPO (overclock) profile, whereas its JEDEC profile will be something more conservative like 4800 MT/s at 1.1v
>server motherboards don't support XMP/EXPO, only JEDEC, which is why it's running slower
>read about the SPD chip that stores these profiles, and how to reprogram it (at risk of bricking the RAM)
>find a DDR5 SPD breakout board that lets you reprogram it with an arduino (to unbrick it if needed)
>download the actual JEDEC specs to see what I could reprogram it to do
>JEDEC profile only supports 1.1v (there are no other values you can write to that field)
>you can override the speed/timings though
>probably can't hit 6400 MT/s at 1.1v, but could try 5200 or 5600 and see if it works
I started with a vague problem (RAM doesn't run as fast as I wanted) and now I have a potential solution (buy the breakout board and adjust the speed in the SPD chip's JEDEC profile) and learned a whole bunch about how RAM works in the process

>>43120322

Ah yeah, world is a fuck for sure. I'm in a medium size discord server that keeps talking about moving off due to discord's various bullshit. I'd love to host something for them, but allowing image uploads onto my own hardware is pretty scary.

Back in the day people did also troll others, me included (in trolling people), but everyone at least had the decency to keep real life stuff out of it, but that seems to have gone out the window when everybody started getting politically engaged (and thus believing they are "fighting" some sort of perceived evil when in reality they're just creating an ever more oppressive atmosphere that is the ideal breeding ground for some Orwellian police state).

If they can force the OSs to change their code for this, they can force them to change their code for anything. Whether it be content ID at the OS level to ensure you're not playing any unpaid for content or mandating an approved list of hosts that you are allowed to connect to. Sounds crazy, but if you look at some of the stuff they've been proposing for 3d printers you realize this type of stuff is exactly in their ballpark. All of this legislation should be illegal because computer code is legally protected speech and these laws are mandating government compelled speech. It's a clear violation of the 1st amendment.

This also radically changes the paradigm on arching stuff. I think people for a long time have archived stuff with the assumption that even if the internet goes to shit they'll still have their local copy of things they value. But they're local copy won't help them much if their OS refuses to play or open it. People will now need to ensure they've archived OSs and enough software to get up and going all locally. And as time goes on hardware could become an issue too if something comes along to block the installation of older OSs.

While the actual California law largely doesn't do much. Doesn't verify age and doesn't require applications to actually do anything with the API. The terrifying thing to me is the state being able to mandate features in code, because with that there's no limit to what they can require.

>>43120834

>>43120844
There's been multiple cases where the courts have ruled code as legally protected speech. The main one that comes to my mind is the guy who developed PGP. The federal government was going after him because his software used encryption keys longer than what the law allowed, thus they declared his software a weapon and said he was in violation of export laws. So he published his code as a book to prove a point that published code is no different than any other type of published text. In the court case that followed, the courts sided with the PGP guy and said code was legally protected speech. There's been other cases but this is the main one I think of.

>>43120848
What about on servers where you might have multiple people using the same account? Or creating accounts to be exclusively used by other pieces of software?

>>43120899
>Java APIs being non-speech "useful knowledge" that couldn't be copyrighted
I think that'd be more in the realm of interfacing between software and not the code itself. Like say some website has an undocumented API, it's whether or not you can use that API to interface with the site using your own code. Maybe. I'm just guessing. But that type of situation would kind of make sense as "useful knowledge".

>>43120503
This was similar to the experience the smutty.horse admin had

>>43120988
that guy talked to the police like a retard

>>43120492
Well you can always encrypt everything locally.
Spin up your own matrix server or something and have its data be saved to an encrypted luks container. Or maybe simpleX offers the possibility of encrypting stuff directly without luks? Or better yet just use S3 with minio locally and set your bucket to be encrypted.
That way it's literally impossible for anyone looking at what is stored on the server to know they'd have to join your niche online clique and if they do just have some vague rule about "you must notify the admin about le bad stuff" or something.

>>43122044
I understood the first part, but what does...
>Or better yet just use S3 with minio locally and set your bucket to be encrypted.
...mean? I'm assuming this is remote hosting stuff, isn't it? I have zero experience with that kind of stuff. Wouldn't know how to start getting experience in it without taking out my wallet either.

>>43122112
>I'm assuming this is remote hosting stuff, isn't it?
Amazon S3, yeah

>>43122112
Not really no. S3 is just a way to store files..you can run your own S3 instance using minio locally. So basically you have a file server talking to your app.
It's a bit convoluted but it's the only thing I know which will do file based encryption instead of unlocking a container at runtime and locking it at rest.

>>43122958
Can it? The way I understood it is that it made a small container like cryptomator that is unlocked.when you need to use it?

>>43122998
>The way I understood it is that it made a small container like cryptomator
What are you talking about, fscrypt? That's the module that provides per-file encryption with filesystems that support it, mostly ext4. Or are you talking about something else

>>43123021
Yeah, fscrypt, per the arch wiki it seems to mount an encrypted dir as an overlay.

So basically
fscryt encrypt dir
Mount encrypted-dir decrypted-dir
And from there you use decrypted-dir until you're done and that exposes clear files.

What I was saying is that in minio your files will look like encrypted-dir/A_BUNCH_OF_NONSENSE
Where each file here is impossible to read and write to without going through minio.

That's the kinda encryption I meant when I said "not like a container"

>>43123129
I'm reading the arch wiki and it just says you do "fscrypt unlock dir", no mounting. At least on ext4.

>Where each file here is impossible to read and write to without going through minio.
If that's what you want, then yeah a userspace tool is the way to go, because a filesystem level layer is always going to involve unlocking the file and allowing any other process to be able to read it (that's what a filesystem is for) and then relocking it later. But this distinction has nothing to do with containers.
(For that matter overlay mounts have little to do with containers either but I guess I kinda see what you meant.)

>>43122941
Probably the usual IP + mail combo, maybe browser fingerprint.

>>43123153
Oh yeah I didn't mean a container like a docker or podman one. I meant an overlay / volume that allows you to transit between encrypted and decrypted data, kek.
To me encryption at rest is nice but I feel what people want when they say "encrypted data" is stuff that's impossible to even look at if you don't have a password ready.

10

>>43123591
Yeah makes sense.
Honestly I'm now wondering too why there doesn't seem to be a single filesystem (that I know of) that would allow a specific process to access and decrypt the data, without making it accessible to any other reader.

>>43124779
I guess because it makes any kind of data verification, check summing or anything like that impossible without agreeing on what the key is supposed to be?

>>43124781
Well the key would probably be the same for everyone. And usually the filesystem is not the one holding the key so ext4 with fscrypt itself already can't read the file/directory contents unless the user unlocks them. But that's double-irrelevant because very few filesystems do checksumming and ext4 doesn't, and also because you can checksum encrypted data perfectly fine and detect corruption if it changes, you don't need to know what the file "means" for that.

My best guess is simply because Linux isn't really built around isolating processes with similar privileges from each other. If two processes have permissions to access a file, Linux in general assumes they should be allowed to do so. And if you want to isolate them, have some super secret file that only some process(es) can read, you have to play around with groups and permissions, or sandboxes like namespaces or whatnot (the kind of stuff containers are built out of. or just use a container even).
And if programs are built to handle secret data they can just roll their own encryption.

>>43124786
Yeah true probably this.
Also a lack of care from anyone I guess.
LUKS is likely good enough for 99.99% of people and businesses don't care about security anyway. Plus it's trivial to store encrypted data as BLOBs instead of asking the FS directly.

>>43124789
>Plus it's trivial to store encrypted data as BLOBs instead of asking the FS directly.
Basically this. If you want to make it transparent then you have a ton of questions about key management and permission systems, which the filesystems and kernel probably don't want to bother with when userspace utilities (like minio, apparently) can do just fine and likely even better, due to being userspace and tailored to some specific usecase rather than having to support every user ever by being in everyone's kernel.
Whereas if you wanted to add a new API like fencryptedopen(path, mode, key) then every program would need to explicitly support it and if they do that they can just include a library and do the decryption themselves instead of building it into the filesystem.

>>43124792
Speaking of minio.
PyDio also does that. And it's basically the file part of nextcloud. Kinda neat to store your pony folder away from prying eyes.

Memory bandwidth is only 100 GB/s which is not that great. If RAM prices weren't gigafucked right now, you'd be far better off spending the same amount of money on RAM + GPU upgrades for your existing computer. Even with the RAM prices you might still be better off, actually.

How can 4chan tell I'm using Incognito browsing mode? No site should ever be able to know about this in any way whatsoever, is this just some quirk of Chrome (it happens when I'm using my phone)?

>>43129389
>How can 4chan tell I'm using Incognito browsing mode?
4chan-JS / extension.js has this in its code:
>if (window.isIncognito) {
>>let el = $.id('qrFile');
>>if (el && el.value && !QR.painterData) {
>>>QR.showPostError('Uploading files in incognito mode is not allowed.'
>>>+ '<br>The File field has been cleared.');
>>>QR.resetFile();
>>>return false;}}
either disable native extension or use 4chan-x

>Would it be a good OS for my X220 laptop?
Yes. I run it on an Intel i5-4570 and you wouldn't believe how quick it is on ancient hardware. Now that a mad genius has ported the Nvidia Turing+ GPU drivers, I'm looking forward to building a newer box just for it. It's my favorite OS by far.

I don't mean to discredit Nvidia. I'm really pleased they did that in the first place. But someone had to go through the trouble of getting them to play nicely with Haiku's odd architecture.

Maybe. I prefer to use desktop hardware.

don't know about you, but I really want to use Haiku on SBCs like RPi

>>43129773
iGPUs are a form factor, to support the raspberry pi you'd need drivers for whatever integrated GPU it has (some kind of ARM-land bullshit probably).

>>43129791
iirc RPi 4 has some weird bootloading process that requires GPU

tfw been archiving all my bookmarks from the past decade.
I have to make gallery-dl use a 3 second delay between grabbing pics on twitter or else my IP gets banned.
The script has been running for 4 months and it's only 1/3 finished.
But at least now I have some lost media because good artists delete their accounts so often.

>>43129844
Also my archive already takes up 6TB. I had to buy a new hard drive and I'm not even sure if the new one is big enough for everything.

I think they will selectively enforce this law. A dozen walmart cashier computers that haven't been updated in 20 years and don't have the mandatory age verification? No problem, just a $500 fine. Police randomly tackle a guy with a backpack, plant 1 ounce of weed on him then illegally search his laptop and find an outdated version of debian installed without the age check? That's gonna be 20 years of jail minimum, no parole.

>>43129853
the law tries to regulate "OS providers", not regular users
in fact that "Ageless Linux" project advertises itself as "breaking the law" by making anyone using it "an os provider"

>>43129846
6TB of just pics? That's insane. That's millions of pics. Are a lot of them videos/animations or are you just following tens of thousands of prolific artists?

>>43129876
It includes 2TB of youtube vids, but yes I have thousands of artists bookmarked. The unfortunate thing about social media is that a lot of these accounts spam the utter shit out of reaction gifs and irrelevant 50 megapixel photos of everything they eat which inflates the archive size. I plan to trim it down after everything is done downloading, though that may be a monumental task. And this is with my config skipping retweets and replies, so I'm certainly missing things like fan art and commissions and bonus artwork.

>>43129882
Oof.
Yeah twitter sucks ass cheeks as an art website, and I cannot fucking comprehend why artists INSIST on using it as their primary medium and not only that but even their only fucking medium.

>>43129885
>why artists INSIST on using it as their primary medium
IIRC it's the biggest social media platform so if they want to maximize the visibility of their art they flock to it, despite twitter not being designed as an art site.
Besides, there really aren't that many options for hosting art. Deviantart is an AI only site now, pixiv is basically only for japs, boorus are for coomers, FA for hardcore furfags, tumblr is dead, and self hosting is both expensive and nobody's gonna visit your site anyway.

>>43129709
Thanks for the answer anon. Really strange that a browser would expose such a function to the website in the first place. I wonder how this "feature" is supposed to help the user.

>>43129894
>help the user
:^)
Google dictates web standards.

>>43129885
Because legacy artists only care about their massive egos so maximum visibility is their only metric. They were never making art for art's sake.

>>43129890
>>43129900
>visibility
Yeah that's probably the answer. The mindset of "post a picture to get some likes/retweets and maybe patreon subscribers, then the next day work on more 'content' for more engagement" rather than "post a picture as another entry in my portfolio and artistic legacy".

>options for hosting art
Boorus are an excellent format for this. I only know of two communities using it, which is weebs and ponyfags (and I think furries with e6?), and the former almost exclusively for cooming, so I can understand the stigma. But by that same logic twitter is for political ragebaiting only. I know ponyfags host 99% of their art on boorus, a majority of which is non-coomer; it's a purely social problem, if artists were willing to engage it would have been trivial for someone to set up a "general art booru".
It's not like twitter artists are not filled with a massive proportions of coomers either.

But oh well, I guess that's the world we live in.

That's not a standard thing btw. If that's actually the code in the 4chan JS (I'm too lazy to check), then this property must be getting set by some other spyware fingerprinting dependency, probably based on analysing cookies or something.
Actually I just tried on a browser without 4chanx or anything (not even an adblocker) and I doesn't seem to exist either.

I'm reading core.js and it literally just cites https://github.com/Joe12387/detectIncognito

>>43129949 (Me)
for the record core.js is their "base" JS code that should be enabled even when inline extension is disabled

In what way would that be useful? The sign-in cookies are gone the second I close browser. Sites can't read cookies of other sites can they?

Cool, there's the answer then.
I wonder why I'm not seeing it on a 4chan tab though. Maybe ungoogled-chromium breaks it or something (though I'd be a bit surprised since the patches are nothing revolutionary privacy-wise, it's just degoogling)

You literally linked the javascript doing it, it's not something Google added to their browser. I will be the last person to defend Google's tyranny over the web, but in this case it is factually not Google's fault.

>>43129967
>wouldn't be surprised if something as simple as degoogling chromium broke its detection script
They are using a dependency so if it's broken it's not 4chan-js's fault. Of course it's still entirely possible the dependency still breaks on ungoogled-chromium.
Anyone with stock chrome can check if "window.isIncognito" is defined in their console? Because now I'm curious.

I wasn't aware of that stuff being a third party library when I started writing that post
and I didn't bother to rewrite it after checking core.js

that project's repo recommends devs to include the library statically to get around uBlock killing it and 4chan does so (github repo is just a commented link, lol)

Why would you ever report "the website is not tracking us as well as it could" as a bug

If you hate the proxypedos that's fair but incognito mode is not something that will bring down the proxy. Besides hiro has added a dozen even more invasive tracking scripts just for that, so we can only hope proxy dies painfully asap

because them fixing it would definitely result in a fuck-up on their side, making the site broken for an hour or so?

yeah afaik they are so low on IPs their nigger host asks people to shitpost less (pic rel for /mlp/)

>>43130000

I'm confused here can you restate your meaning please
I read your post as "we should report this icognito-detection bug to 4chan so that they try to fix it and in the process likely bring down the site for an hour or so (good)" which surely can't be what you meant

>they are so low on IPs
Fucking nice, sometimes it feels like those shits have literally infinite IPs
Maybe could be a good worthwhile to intentionally use the proxy to kill it faster then lmao

>>43130009
>I read your post as "we should report this icognito-detection bug to 4chan so that they try to fix it and in the process likely bring down the site for an hour or so (good)" which surely can't be what you meant
nah that's exactly what I meant: I want to see desuwa break the site in a fun way
imagine 4chan being forced into textboard mode for a day or two because no one with native extension is able to post files
>spoiler
this wouldn't be possible because they now only offer service to those who give them money lol (and pedo passes do get revoked for active shitposting, lmao)

>>43130018
>(and pedo passes do get revoked for active shitposting, lmao)
That's interesting actually. I don't follow it closely, now that they're moderating their anti-moderation proxy (ebin) are they still allowing pedo and spam shit? I never looked into it in detail, so I actually don't know if it's called pedoproxy because it's actively enabling it or just because it was a reliable ban circumvention tool that pedos could take advantage of alongside all other shitposters.

>>43130031
>are they still allowing pedo and spam shit?
of course, that's the point of their entire operation
>so I actually don't know if it's called pedoproxy because it's actively enabling it or just because it was a reliable ban circumvention tool that pedos could take advantage of alongside all other shitposters.
nah they specifically enable pedoposting on 4chan. The whole shitshow started on /g/ with violations of >>>/global/rules/17

>>43130038
Well darn, that's disappointing
Also seems ironic that they would forbid shitposting, when pedoposting instantly gets your IP permabanned

>>43130031
>I actually don't know if it's called pedoproxy because it's actively enabling it
It's more than just enabling. They literally have their own local board called "/c/ - Children" where they share 3DPD pictures of actual kids, they're not exactly beating around the bush about it lol

>>43131616
Tails is not meant as a daily usage distro, for your schizo cartel deals on public wifi you can ignore the desktop environment being not perfect for your preferences. Plus if you need keepass it literally says you can just install it.

Gnome just fucking sucks, switching to it because it's "le default" is fucking retarded. I wasn't even aware of Gnome had a password manager before they removed keepassxc
also you overestimate average Tails' user's activity
>Plus if you need keepass it literally says you can just install it.
at this point my Tails installation might glow from extras I got installed

>>43131959
The main point of tails is to run tor browser, installing extra software is extremely unlikely to cause issues.
>Gnome just fucking sucks
Yes but so does Tor and so does booting into a stateless system. It's all inconvenient in the name of privacy. Using gnome because it's "le default" unironically makes sense for Tails, in the chance that for some reason the software stack matters (and entire the DE probably has a lot more chances to leak or be detected than your password manager). I wish gnome wasn't the default but it is and therefore to have the biggest anonymity set it makes sense to use it.

Removing keepassxc is indeed retarded but again using something like Tails is already inconvenient enough that it feels like a non-issue in the grand scheme of things.

im turning myself into a vibe coder, how do i stop?
regress and wear programming socks?

>>43132188
I think there's an interesting dynamic going on right now. The term "vibe coding" was invented when LLMs were notably worse than they were now, and only retards used them to build entire projects, so it became synonymous with barely working slop.
Nowadays LLMs are a lot more powerful, so you can unironically do a lot of work without writing the code yourself. It's spread even to experienced, senior professionals at respectable tech firms. Everyone is using coding agents to generate large chunks of code now, or "vibe coding" almost.

But there's still a difference between someone with no experience or knowledge prooompting the AI and just auto-accepting everything, and a real developer prooompting the AI, having the final word on the design, then reviewing the code and going back and forth with the AI until he's happy. In both cases you're not even writing code yourself, but in the former case it still ends up degenerating into a barely working mess (it takes longer than before, but it still fails eventually) whereas in the latter case it's possible to actually write decent code - well, decent enough for a corporate environment at the least. Both are technically "vibe coding" in the sense that the AI writes all the code, but the former is building up a house of cards until the slop comes crashing down, while the latter is no worse than your average wagie code monkey code and basically sustainable.

Too bad it's also fucking soul-sucking. AIs have turned programming into a full-time code review job and I hate it.

>>43132202
>AIs have turned programming into a full-time code review job and I hate it.
yeah using AI is either "autopilot that crashes in the long run" or "be a fucking nanny for a machine"

>>43132460
And the thing is being a nanny for a machine is still writer than writing everything out by hand, so it's not like I'm wasting time doing it. It's just far less enjoyable than it used to be.

I also have a problem that I always find big changes hard to start, so I would procrastinate a while at the beginning, then force myself to get going and then eventually get into the flow and wrap up the feature/work at a good pace. AI makes it much easier to get started since I just prooompt it and we "talk" through the design of a solution and it just goes ahead and does it, but then I'm basically skipping straight to the code review stage and it's boring as shit.

>>43132202
>AIs have turned programming into a full-time code review job and I hate it.
The way I use it is
>proompt
>let it run on its own (YOLO mode in an isolated VM) until it's done, usually an hour or two (my local setup is not super fast)
>skim the diff, try to decide in ~30s if it's good or if it's shit
>edit the good parts into shape and discard the rest
It ends up not being much like a normal code review, where you see something bad and have to write in English what you want changed and wait for somebody else to do it. It's more like when you get halfway through implementing something and you realize it sucks so you immediately go back and reimplement it a different way.

It's also been pretty good for motivation and productivity on my pony project. I'll usually give the AI something to work on overnight or while I'm at work, and then when I get up the next morning or get off work, there's always some in-progress thing for me to work on. No need to decide what to work on next because I already decided last night when I wrote the prompt. I've seen the advice before about always leaving something unfinished for the same reason, but I never liked doing that.

>>43132202
Kinda this.
But frankly with my usage I find using AI for coding is more of a disaster than anything.
The part I'm good at with coding is architecture and design, but fuck if i know synthax or the state of the art of doing things so I started proompting for designs to happen.
Man I can tell you those AIs are dumb as rocks so I basically use it like a glorified stack overflow question machine for that it's okay. I still wish it'd back up its shit with a link to the docs.
