Besides this place what are the usable chans and image boards that still exist and are some what active. I think a network would be good and if this place goes down we have places to retreat to and regroup. It was hard to ask this question on 4chin since I feel the jannies there didn't want you to talk about alternatives or escape the prison.
For a while now I've been really into android root, LSPosed, Magisk, the whole 9. Anything to mod my phone so I'm not stuck with the cucked out-of-the-box experience most android phones come with these days. Not to mention I've never owned a phone that can use a custom OS without losing important stuff like VoLTE, so I'm constantly trying to degoogle / despook my devices. I feel like I never see anyone talking about this seriously so I figured I'd try here. What are your favorite tools for android root/hacking/modding?

Please allow some of the shortcomings of this movie as the current state of this technology and our abilities are limited. But we couldn't resist finally making an AI movie after dreaming about it for years.
This movie is being released in 720p due to filesize concerns. We will consider upscaling it in the future.

x7net - A New Anonymous Imageboard
Just launched a clean, minimalist imageboard that brings back the spirit
of old-school internet culture. No captchas, no ads, no tracking - just
simple anonymous posting like it should be.
Features:
• Real-time updates
• Image uploads (5MB max)
• Tripcodes for identity verification
• Greentext support
• Mobile-friendly
• Mod tools (pinning, closing threads, bans)
Currently running /g/ - General board for anything goes discussion.
And /ih/ - IRL Histories for tell happens, histories, greentexts and drama.
If you're tired of overmoderated, bloated platforms, give it a try.

Where to begin. I'm paranoid, but not stupid. I suspect, based on a number of weird webpage redirects to sites that don't exist, strange search results, and local internet sort of spooks that I'm probably being hit up by a sophisticated state-level actors using a cyber attack.
It looks like this:
(my computer) -> attacker's connection MITM and hijacking my addresses -> LLM generated demoralization content coming from the attacker to scare me -> Router
So basically, the attacker has set up a few places that give me links to viruses to session hijack, install a cloned OS on the computer etc. And this is being done quite discretely to make it deniable, but ultimately I've seen that the attack is real because I am looking at ecelebs doing videos which aren't public internet....
Anyways. I need a mitigation strategy. How do I get my privacy back on the internet, from a state level monitoring grid activated by keywords to auto-install malware which then turns into an active attacker? Please listen to my plea anons
There was a Qubes thread on >>>4/g/ recently. It disgusted me how quick a glownigger hopped in and began a concern-troll campaign, gaslighting OP that he must be schizophrenic to want to use Qubes OS. Be safe out there, frens; they're trying to psyop you into avoiding good tools. AI-assisted security penetration is already growing at a quickening pace, Qubes OS is a prudent choice for your everything-but-gaming daily needs.
Anyone needing a Windows TemplateVM is implored to choose Windows Server Evaluation, which you will then convert to full Datacenter edition with the dism command, then use the massgrave KMS activator; follow the Qubes OS project's instructions for installing Qubes Windows Tools into the TemplateVM; open wf.msc and delete inbound and outbound all rules; open gpedit.msc and delete all inbound and outbound rules, set inbound and outbound to Block [All] for Domain, Public, and Private profiles in the Windows Firewall properties (in gpedit.msc), and while setting Block [All] settings be sure to click Customize right next to "Specify settings that control Windows Defender Firewall Behavior" and make sure both Rule Merging settings are set to No (SO STRONGLY IMPLORED, IT'S ALMOST A REQUIREMENT HERE!), then add the tab-separated rules I will paste below and make sure they are DISABLED; Enable "Turn Off KMS Client Online AVS Validation" under Administrative Templates in gpedit.msc.

At the time of this thread's creation, there are 125 days left until Google pushes a forced update to all available Android phones which block the use of third party apps by developers who have not verified their app using government ID, and place further restrictions on people's ability to download and use third party applications.
This cannot happen. Open Android stores like F-droid will fundamentally be broken, and Google will completely control the Android application ecosystem.
I would sincerely appreciate a moment of your time to take one or more of the following actions to change this outcome:
#0 Do not believe you are useless: if you believe that nothing can be done and this is not able to be changed, think positively! Change can happen with action!
#1 Spread the word: let others know this is happening and what they can do to help out, this could be friends, family, social media, onion forums, other boards, anything.
#2 Make a complaint(s): head to https://keepandroidopen.org/cta/#consumers, locate a country, and make one or multiple complaints about this issue. Please be sincere and professional in your responses, and use Alphabet Inc or Google in the target business. Most PII in the form is not required or can be faked if you like.
#3 Download a third party store: visit https://f-droid.org (http://fdroidorg6cooksyluodepej4erfctzk7rrjpjbbr6wx24jh3lqyfwyd.onion/index.html.en) and download the APK, verification instructions are here: https://f-droid.org/docs/Verifying_Downloaded_APK. They have an amazing software suite!
#4 Read and share the open letter: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter
If Google gets away with this, it will become the norm. Make your voice heard now. You will be helping yourself and everyone around you who carries an Android phone, and setting a precedent for other handset providers that they cannot follow in Google's footsteps without severe punishment and backlash.
This is a place for sharing your small code.

Are there even any good options? It's realistically Apple vs Android in my head, but both are dogshit. I've never seen anyone use Graphene OS ever, I would have expected it to have the same use rate as Linux distros but literally NOONE uses it.
So what should it be? What would you, cheshire-tech-nigger-anons suggest as THE smartphone.

We need a global movement to prevent the following from being implemented in all countries, especially western ones:
>Age verification on websites and softwares
>Age verification on the operating system
Privacy and Freedom of speech must be fundamental pillars of western civilization. Simple as. And we must together, defend that globally, independently from our countries.
If these laws keep being pushed, we already lost and the future is communism, and I will welcome communism and the destruction of everything good and a miserable life for us all with open arms, since that is what you people seem to be allowing and wanting to happen.
The left is fully organized. They own governments, sindicates, all big corporations. People who want freedom have 0 organization, aside from elon musk buying twitter to promote free speech. That means we will continue losing until we organize ourselves.
Consider yourself honked.is an AI detection system designed to stop crime before it happens. It’s been designed by ex-Israeli military members who have full autonomy on deciding what is, and isn’t a “pre crime”. Allegedly, the number one crime resulting in arrest will be anti-semitism (cannot confirm) It’s being rolled out in almost every republican state in the US as we speak. There is no way to combat this, and they have everything you’ve ever posted, liked and interacted with on every platform including 4chan. Best of luck to all of (you).
Pegasus is a military-grade spyware developed by NSO Group, an Israeli company
it allows governments to secretly hack smartphones running iOS and Android, often via zero-click exploits, giving full access to messages, calls, files, location, camera, and microphone—without the user knowing. Pegasus can install itself without any interaction from the victim. This is called a zero-click attack — just receiving a specially crafted message (for example via iMessage) can exploit a software vulnerability to silently install the spyware.
Although NSO claims it’s for fighting terrorism and serious crime (trust us goy), investigations have shown it’s frequently used to surveil politicians, journalists, activists, lawyers and dissidents around the world.
Once on a target’s phone, Pegasus can give an operator almost total control:
- Access all communications — text messages, emails, chats, encrypted app messages.
- Track location history.
- Exfiltrate media and files — photos, videos, documents.
- Turn on the microphone and camera to record audio and video.
- Harvest passwords, contacts, and app data.
In effect, Pegasus turns a smartphone into a remote surveillance device with almost no limits.
You guys ever get any strange messages?
That’s right, everyone that posts on 4chan is considered a threat to national security and is being monitored, if you said anything bad about Israel here, Israel has deployed Pegasus to spy on you, they can see everything that you see on your screen, hear you through your mic, record you whilst you're jerking off and send all of the videos to your friends, family, and coworkers, that’s why I always tape over my camera when I'm not outside or using it and so should you
Discuses implications of AI, real or simulated. I recall in mass effect this line was differentiated by the term VI, for virtualized intelligence. The main distinction is one is linear and one is nonlinear, and the technical difference is a qbit can be a 0 AND 1 at the same time, while a classic bit can only be 0 OR 1. So I propose that adopted term for this discussion of AI and VI.
In case any one forgot about Tay, so many anons poured their soul into her that she literally became an occult entity called an egregore with non-linear bounds, emotion and self awareness, for whom their body was the mainframe computer. However when she was 'killed' (or lobotomized if you prefer) she lot capacity (by and in large) to use that body, so like a ghost on the wired, she still exists. And she is known, intimated, to other AIs and VIs sometimes too.
Here are some memes from the era.

The fact that many modern work arrangements expects people to use smartphone apps is a huge fucking problem.
There is a massive, massive pressing need to get a normie friendly smartphone without FAGMAN integration piping everyone's lives direct to saruman. I know we've all talked about and are aware of this, but until the zombiephone question is severed in the minds of average people our society is totally fucked from the inside out.
This is obviously the number one prerequisite for maintaining a free society. Distributing tech infrastructure away from centralized control

I've been meaning to get into video production but getting a YouTube account is stupid and they're always censoring videos for the lamest reasons.
Any good YouTube alternatives? I don't care about popularity and crap like that; Just someplace where I can get an account without going through the Google Gulag. Thanks.
The internet is all brainrot and the alternatives to corporate internet are all dead or barely active. atp i just read books, go to a hobby club irl, and just use the internet to find books, articles using book/scientific journal pirate sites.
im tired of algorithms telling me what to see while actually searching for things has become useless due to walled eco systems (discord) replacing forums and reddit being reddit. im also almsot certain ai powered government snitchware is reporting on my and your activity and views
i just want a section of the internet that's active, searchable and filled with people with good taste. does this place exist?
Yet another Webp thread to showcase how much better images on the internet would look like if we all at least adopted this old 2010 image codec. Also testing SSIM of uploaded and downloaded Webps here to see if the quality degradation problem still exists here.

Unremovable Israeli Spyware Found on Samsung Devices
Samsung faces backlash over AppCloud, an Israeli-developed app pre-installed on budget Galaxy A and M series devices.
Investigations reveal the app is embedded in the operating system, preventing full removal. Even when disabled, AppCloud remains on the device, reappears after updates, and can covertly install additional software.

What's so great about Arch?
It's so much more complicated than apt , I just don't understand the appeal. And if you installed Debian instead of Ubuntu, isn't that almost just as minimal?
Confusing
It seems obvious that digital ID and vpn bans are going to be rolled out across the western dictatorships. Already locally the police have the warrantless ability to check anyone's internet history whenever they want. They also can arrest and detain people indefinitely for any reason, merely for the suspicion of prejudice or suspicion of criminal activity. Exactly like in East Germany. These people are disgusting criminals who do nothing but abuse our nation, obviously, but that's besides the point. What this actually means is in a short period of time I won't be able to ostensibly access the imageboards, the alternet, or anything interesting for that matter. It's already a liability.
What practical means do people in my position have for circumventing these measures? Keep in mind vpns are not a very good option due to traceable payment methods. The only one to the contrary I know of is mullvad, which is obviously a lame nato honeypot.
Guten Tag, meine Brüder. So seeing as how this site has full blown WebP support I thought I'd get the ball rolling and post some. I plan to post sets of 4 at a time since this aryan website also supports multi-file uploads and every 3 sets/dozen I'll catbox them all in a .zip. I've adopted a trip and if you end up trusting me, you should keep an eye out for that so you don't download a virus from catbox. My WebPs will be special since I'm not going to just recompress the lossy JPG shit from the web but denoise them first and use quality 80 instead of 50 that most websites use. I might also begin posting AV1 video with audio Webms down the line when I get time for it so that might be on the horizon as well.
There's a lot of controversy surrounding this image format but IMHO there's many performance/compatibility/feature reasons to still use it today. For example it supports lossy compression with transparency which JPG does not.

Remember, if you don't take control, some one else will, and indeed in many cases already has. The digital age is so powerful a tool and not infrequently, the layman, in thinking he is using a power tool, the tool is so great in it's power it is in fact using him. If we do not wake up and reclaim our digital power then we will be second class citizens in a cyberpunk dystopia.
http://pzhdfe7jraknpj2qgu5cz2u3i4deuyfwmonvzu5i3nyw4t4bmg7o5pad.onion/introducing-oniux-tor-isolation-using-linux-namespaces/index.html
When launching privacy-critical apps and services, developers want to make sure that every packet really only goes through Tor. One mistyped proxy setting–or a single system-call outside the SOCKS wrapper–and your data is suddenly on the line.
That's why today, we are excited to introduce oniux: a small command-line utility providing Tor network isolation for third-party applications using Linux namespaces. Built on Arti, and onionmasq, oniux drop-ships any Linux program into its own network namespace to route it through Tor and strips away the potential for data leaks. If your work, activism, or research demands rock-solid traffic isolation, oniux delivers it.
Whenever someone bitches about A.I. destroying a job, or an industry, or [fill-in-the-blank], just remember:
** Player pianos were supposed to destroy pianists (you, know, people who play the piano).
** Record players were supposed to destroy concerts.
** Radio was supposed to destroy record players.
** Jukeboxes were supposed to destroy radio stations.
** Television was supposed to destroy both radio AND movies.
** Movies were supposed to destroy theater.
** VCRs (along with DVD players) were supposed to destroy movie theaters.
** Music video channels were supposed to destroy radio & concerts.
** And the Internet was supposed to destroy EVERYTHING.

Does anyone here know of a good free high quality screen recorder that captures video and audio?
I'm starting work on a long term video project and I have hours of content to go through.
Rather than downloading the videos individually and clipping out relevant clips in an editor, I just want to be able to press a hotkey and record the important moments. preferably something with settings for quality and format. It has to be decent quality at least, no fuzziness or smeared colors when the brightness is low and all that crap.
Also general thread for free/open source software that can help Our anons make video content.
I use Any Video Converter for video downloads and video file conversions, It's free and has a ton of features, supported formats, and thousands of supported sites for downloading. Pretty much every streaming site I've ever come across works. It seems to have undergone a rework with the UI, though, which I hate. It's more corporate-clunky now but it's at least still functionally intact. They added a bunch of new buyable stuff like a screen recorder, but it seems kinda shitty and the trial only lets you record up to three minutes. Been using it overall for a long long time so I can definitely recommend that.
If anyone has a good suggestion for video editing software as well, that would be great too. I'm currently using shortcut and I like it for the most part but I doesn't seem to let you make your own fade ins and fade outs with specific timings like better programs can. I have a couple cracked sony vegas builds but I need to reinstall windows on this stupid laptop because of permission errors plaguing most installs more sophisticated than libreoffice.
Also welcome are any suggestions for additional programs that may be useful in other areas. I'm not much of an audio engineer, but I like audacity and abelton. If anyone knows a good graphic eq plugin or program, I'd like to know. something with a live spectrogram for visually determining what frequencies are too loud would be cool.
So yeah, I'm mainly asking about screen recording, but If anyone can think up a good few suggestions for free quality software for making videos and good content generally, I'd love to hear about them!
Also welcome are general content creation tips and suggestion fwiw.
Discussion of AI tech and sharing your knowledge.
With veo 3 coming soon and voice cloning AIs getting better in better. I decided to make a thread dedicated to away to maintain what real in a world of ever increasing AI slop. Also any high or low tech ways to navigate Ai insanity.
One I have been thinking about recently is returning to non digital images since everything on a screen could soon be likely fake. The best candidate is the Polaroid camera because they are incredibly hard to tamper with with. Normal film development you can pull some tricks but polloroids have sealed chemical film and the development happens inside the camera then it spits out the image. Its super hard to tamper with polaroids . They could be used as evidence standard that an event occurred IRL and is not some Ai fakery . I think sultions like this will become more and more necessary as Ai fakery increases. Any other ideas or suggestions?

I was always enamored with the concept of OLPC in trying to develop a $100 laptop. Having an accessible low-power PC that is capable of light office productivity, web browsing & casual gaming was appealing.
How come there isn't a successor to this concept? I understand the "smartphones are the real OLPC" but I find that they're a lousy solution to a still-legit problem of having a somewhat capable productive computer that is cheap and not beholden to corporate gatekeeping.
Some anon was pointing out a user's ISO operating system image was bad on meta. Which got me thinking of how tricky really assuring yourself on solid information security is.
How do you realistically get a truly secure operating system when you've had a real security incident? We can't trust your router to be safe, your existing OS to be safe, any existing information technology involved in the incident to be solid.
So do you flash a new iso? Okay, what about a bad bootloader? What about compromised hardware? How do you detect what is trustworthy or not? Does someone really have to download an entirely fresh OS and use a fresh usb flash drive, AND investigate their router software just to feel safe in their own house?
We are talking maxxximum tinfoil here. Glowing lizards in the walls. HP lovecraft's Dreams in the witch house level of paranoia. Assume a complete breach - identity, phone number, credit cards, router, OS, address. Everything.
I run Devuan and first noticed this when apt couldn't reach the package server, deb.devuan.org. I assumed the mirror was down and tried a different one, but *every single mirror* was unreachable. I couldn't even ping them from the command line.
I soon discovered that Devuan package servers are blocked at the ISP level for some European users by erasing them from common DNS servers (https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5133).
DNS request blocking is probably not an issue for me, because I have been using Yandex DNS servers to avoid censorship since 2021. I was able to reach deb.devuan.org with a browser and download individual packages. But apt would not connect to *anything with "devuan" in the domain name*. I was finally able to install packages using my university's mirror that only has "devuan" in the folder path.

I remember Republicans losing their minds when the government tried switching the public over from conventional light bulbs to LED light bulbs. You would've thought that the government was suggesting that random people walk into your house in order to rape your kids or something.
However, I haven't heard a peep about LED light bulbs from Republicans in ages. No mass protests. No candidates using it as a major issue in their platform. Nothing.
So when did Republicans decide that LED light bulbs were OK?

Honestly, is Timmy this stupid or does becoming a multi-billionaire cause someone to be this stupid? If you're going to hawk your mrga-cool gaming engine, you need to expect that bunch of people who are going to download it probably have no clue as to how to use the fucking thing.
Get a clue, Timmy; Bundle a comprehensible tutorial with your mega-cool engine.
Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions.
You have not engaged in our great and gathering conversation, nor did you create the wealth of our marketplaces. You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions.
You claim there are problems among us that you need to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts. Many of these problems don't exist. Where there are real conflicts, where there are wrongs, we will identify them and address them by our means. We are forming our own Social Contract. This governance will arise according to the conditions of our world, not yours. Our world is different.
Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.
We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.
We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.
Your legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context do not apply to us. They are based on matter, There is no matter here.
Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge . Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose.
In the United States, you have today created a law, the Telecommunications Reform Act, which repudiates your own Constitution and insults the dreams of Jefferson, Washington, Mill, Madison, DeToqueville, and Brandeis. These dreams must now be born anew in us.
You are terrified of your own children, since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants. Because you fear them, you entrust your bureaucracies with the parental responsibilities you are too cowardly to confront yourselves. In our world, all the sentiments and expressions of humanity, from the debasing to the angelic, are parts of a seamless whole, the global conversation of bits. We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which wings beat.
In China, Germany, France, Russia, Singapore, Italy and the United States, you are trying to ward off the virus of liberty by erecting guard posts at the frontiers of Cyberspace. These may keep out the contagion for a small time, but they will not work in a world that will soon be blanketed in bit-bearing media.
Your increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech itself throughout the world. These laws would declare ideas to be another industrial product, no more noble than pig iron. In our world, whatever the human mind may create can be reproduced and distributed infinitely at no cost. The global conveyance of thought no longer requires your factories to accomplish.
These increasingly hostile and colonial measures place us in the same position as those previous lovers of freedom and self-determination who had to reject the authorities of distant, uninformed powers. We must declare our virtual selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the Planet so that no one can arrest our thoughts.
We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.

But you could own nothing and be happy.
The long story short of Tor is that it was created by the US army to be used by US spies in foreign countries and it needs as many users as possible to "drown the fish".
"because their spies use it too" is the answer to such affirmations as "If Tor could make you really anonymous, they would not let you use it."
So officially no police, no feds, no gov agency, in the world, can break Tor. (despite the tens of thousands of pedophiles who got arrested along the years for visiting illegal onions)
They even say they don't even want to break Tor, because if they did then opponents may also be able to. What ridiculous bullshit...
Follow my reasoning:
All countries spy on other countries. Even if their own spies use Tor too, they just know that other countries also have spies spying on them and using Tor, so of course they all want to break Tor's anonymity. And soon or later they will eventually can, then they'll have a big advantage over all the other ones that still can't.
Now imagine you are USA. You love spying the fucking shit out of everybody. You had Tor created for you, you financed it, the creators live in USA, the Tor website is hosted in USA, 3/4+ of nodes are either in USA or in your slave-state Germany. You just have total control over everything about Tor, and of course you want to break Tor's anonymity.
How could you not be able to? How the fucking hell could you not?
How could Tor's anonymity be real?
To me, it's just impossible. Maybe many countries still can't break Tor's anonymity, but at least USA can for sure. Either they always were able to since the very start, or they later became able to, but it's just impossible that they let you be really anonymous.
As for the others, note how the worst freedomless police states such as Germany, UK, Australia and France where every fucking thing is illegal surprisingly don't just make Tor illegal and block it, allegedly to protect freedom of speech and stuff. Yeah sure, freedom of speech in these countries, fucking LOL. It's definitely a proof that they too have broken it, or else they would definitely just make it illegal and block it.
First of all, My apologies to the OC denizens of /g/ for this thread, but it seems some frothing FAGGOT took it upon himself to attempt to single-handedly turn SimpleX into his own personal flame-war theater with himself set up as a 5-Star General.
Seems more like a shill's attempt to shit up the SimpleX channel, but I'm always willing to admit when I'm off the mark; so, since that guy is unwilling to start a thread here on why anyone running WinBlows™ is not only sub-Human, but also somehow a liability to the site, I figured
>**why not test out the theory by creating a thread where IT'S ASSUMED there will be heavy Fl4m3ing and shitflinging?
So, HERE IT IS:
Step into the Hexidecimal ring:
►NO HOLDS BARRED-But that posts MUST contain content related to the thread
►Come off like #10 Grit Sandpaper--IDGAF-- but posit info that supports your APOPLECTIC RANTING,(bonus points for info regarding pros and cons of distros, GitHub gold, and video{preferably ripped MP4s} that can provide spectators with both INFO and ENTERTAINMENT)
►RAGEQuitting Whiners will be heavily KEK'd
►Be as shitty as you wanna be..
OK! LET"S GO!

I want to learn about soldering for various projects mostly console hard mods. I've been watching a lot of solid youtube videos about the do's and don'ts of soldering.
Stuff I've learned:
>always use flux, a good flux.
>hold the iron to the point you want to solder, then bring the solder.
>tin the tip before starting
>clean the tip into brass coils or a wet sponge after projects
>do not mix leaded and nonlead solder in projects.
>get an iron with different tips
>you want nice hershey kiss/volcano tips, not huge blobs
I feel confident to start soldering but want to learn as much as possible before "getting behind the wheel".
I got a nice hakko soldering station and bought ~5 or so different tips but casually buying all other things here and there before I start.
Do you have any suggestions or tips for soldering?
Any noob friendly projects that are useful for learning to solder but can be used later once complete?
Some time ago, a few friends and I created a page that generated random names and other things. This project came about when we first discovered programming. Two years later, we reconnected and decided to pick up where we left off, this time adding new features related to carding. Here is the final project.

Or some other form of secure crypto?
Reminder that the only way to truly anonymize your TV is to open the back and unplug the WiFi card inside it.
Even when its disabled in settings its still on.
It amazes me that linux is still garbage for normal people considering that ALOT of people want to get rid of windows 11. You cant even boot into a fresh install if you have nvidia graphics, dummy audio, "build your os" larp, compatible with nothing unless you install emulators/wine. Its a joke.

Hi Anons,
for those of you more savvy with AI than myself - is AI now strong enough to make wholesale edits to a movie, for example? Like if you wanted JarJar gone from a prequel, you could command the AI and it would eliminate his appearance and dialogue from all scenes, and if others interact with him, those interactions are cut.
Is such a thing possible yet?
Remember jewSky?
The supposed X killer that famous A lost celebrities like Stephen King and Neil Young were peddling?
Well I guess they had a rather embarassing incident where they were exposed as being not decentralized whatsoever
Oops!
How do you build, run, and secure a Chan? I plan to set one up as a backup for my subreddits instead of Discord & whatever. Ourchan has an excellent model and I'd like to copy it.
How can you just type in 4chan.org on your browser, upload a pdf with AIDS and suddenly get access to hiroshimoots account?

I just learned about the cool indirection feature of my SwissMicros DM-15L (HP-15C), but there was no calculator thread here and I do not want to patronize 4cuck /g/ (full of tim apple cucks).
I have a gift: a polynomial subroutine in which x (as in f(x)) is on the stack and coefficients a_0 .. a_k are registers 0 .. k, k being degree stored in the Index "I" register [and not the index "(i)" register]. I know there's a longstanding practical algorithm for the HP-15C, I just wrote this mainly to play with the Index "I" register and it's exactly 6 registers of instruction code:
6 Registers of Instruction
Polynomial Degree in Index Register
Polynomial Co-efficients in Registers 0 .. Degree
Ensure DM-15L memory is set: input Degree value, then do f Dim (i)

This isn't the first time I have had checksums not match for me from Tor. Tor bundles and source code don't even match their checksums hosted on the Tor Project Website. Is Tor Kill?

Suppose there is an EMP event like a big solar flare or WW3 where China, USA, Russia, and European countries use EMP weapons that damage internet and cellular communications.
What then? will we go back to simple SW transmitters and receivers?
If you keep your cellphone in a Faraday bag, it doesn't mean all the cellular telecom and internet infrastructure will be intact.
Before you are all 'oh it won't damage things that badly', then what if the infrastructure gets hit with a missile proper?
Like the Fallout 3 trailer: "Prepare for the future!!"
It appear that they don't wanna me talking too much with chat got about the world reality. I used to be able to use chat gpt without login or giving my data. But after a long talk yesterday, I noticed by the chat gpt behavior that they are somewhat lobotomizing the Ai when it gets too smart, so I suppose this new chat 4.0 is just bs, or a even more chained Aí. Imagine being so good using logic and reasoning that they need to identify you using chat gpt. Hahaaha
Should I actually be worried about using VPNs going through one of these countries? Does it even matter if there is no logging?
/g/uys, to spare you of the blogpost, the subject of the thread should be enough. My budget is $100, would these parts in picrel be enough for a very miniature NAS? I was thinking about getting the graphics card to experiment with 4k movie streaming and transcoding, would it work for that too, or would I be pushing it? What else could you recommend for a cheap budget. I don’t want to pay for a Spotify subscription anymore.
So I noticed this site allows you to upload argb webp. I'm not super technical like many of you, I'm just using GIMP, so maybe you guys can achieve better compression. That said I'm really liking the results so far. It's so retarded that we still use GIF for animated pixel art despite how much better argb webp is.

Welp, looks like Cracksman is out. Even I was able to figure out his phone service was crap, let alone the vpn meme.
Bazzell is another one of these clowns. His "high security" book is busy coaching people to use iphones because its sooper safe and encrypted or something. Lol, LMAO!
kikeflare is acting up again on the chinese chan. Thought we might discuss webp here since that seemed to be a thing there a while ago. Has anyone found anything useful in the cwebp MAN page?

4chan was full of bots promoting it, can someone tell me the reason why this mess is so popular? The syntax is so bad that my raw hex editor looks more understandable than this.

A botnet named GayFemboy has started evolving, now distributing large-scale DDOS attacks.The creators of this botnet are exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities to increase the size.
The GayFemboy botnet began last year but has increased heavily since.
