I know, you're asking yourself already, how the fuck are crypto's compatible with a leftwing communist image-board? Well, first of all, fuck you, we live under capitalism and as such must exchange and purchase under the current mode of production we find ourselves under.
Second, I would like some one to help me understand, exactly, how to set up a bitcoin, monero, what have you; wallet. I tried to set this up on my laptop but syncing with the bitcoin network is a huge MASSIVE bitch and took me months and I never got fully synced. Also, it takes a shitload of resources to work properly on my computer. I can barley do anything else.
So, my question is: What is the best way to get into bitcoin and use bitcoin and other cysto's like a boss? Am I doing something wrong? What are the best specs for btc and the like? As always, any help would be appreciated. Thank you /tech/!

Smart contracts, mining is getting removed, many other better features. It's not perfect, but Bitcoin is merely a store of value, while Ethereum is a effectively a whole platform running most of the other successful crypto projects.

bitcoins are not a viable currency and basically just a meme. You literally can't 'use' bitcoin for anything it was designed to do - the transaction costs are like $15 right now, it's slow, and it is completely public.

There are ok cryptos out there but not bitcoin.

did u try the official monero wallet gui?

I am currently going through my first OOP course in Uni and I can't shake of the feel that this is an overhyped meme. Sure, it is very useful in certain cases, say if you are making a video game or some other big project, but it just seems useless for day-to-day coding where you are just trying to execute a specialized instruction. I just don't encounter a situation where I would have that many different type of semi-related objects that it would warrant the use of family hierarchies and etc. Am I just too unexperianced with coding and miss something, or is OOP just not that amazing as its made out to be?

do you agree that when someone says OOP in 2021 they are talking about something which is distinct from Smalltalk?
no it doesn't have to be modern, I don't think people are against OOP for abstract reasons, but against OOP as it's implemented in Java and C++.
>>

 No.8428

>>8424
No, /tech/ have conclusively demonstrated that they don't know what they are talking about. Smalltalk is thoroughly OOP, you can't get any more OOP than it, and most of the criticism in this thread applies to it. It has deep hierarchies, dynamic dispatch (which imho is the defining feature of OOP), a complete disregard for how CPUs work (no wonder it pioneered virtual machines and JIT), etc. You will have to make up your mind about what you hate in Java and C++, is it the OOP? The imperative? The mixture of the two? But you can't just excuse Smalltalk because it is a hipster language unlike Java and C++ which are preferred by the unwashed programmer masses.

Why is setting this piece of shit up so fucking difficult? Come to think of it? What the fuck are computers so fucking difficult? It seems everything I do on a god damn computer these days breaks something, or, I didn't do it right, or it wasn't the right architecture, or, what ever the fuck man. Seriously, this shit has gotten out of hand. It shouldn't be this god damn hard to have freedom in my own fucking home.

Maybe Gentoo will shine with custom architecture Risc V processor ?
>>

>>8271
Alpine's performance mostly benefits compact programs like busybox.
Gentoo offers many distinct packages, but in fact most users follow the guide, that recommends packages for a bloated standard desktop like NetworkManager and DEs.

Most of alpine's base system and some packages are also statically linked, which is in most cases faster and than dynamic linking http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/dynamic-linking/
It links all programs against musl instead of glibc, so all binaries are generally smaller.
The musl chroot of gentoo is as well integrated as openrc for arch.

Of course the binaries cannot use any fast instructions of the local cpu, but you can still compile alpine packages with aports.

I remember compiling my own ports locally on a m68k machine back in the day optimising the compilation flags for my specific chipset and it made a noticeable difference back in the day

What's changed?
>>

 No.8282

>>8279
I think I'll install it later and see. I don't care for wide range of packages since I compile all my applications, I just want the system to be as fast as possible. I'm typically just a bit skeptical of all these "super tiny" distros because I feel instinctively if they were faster on decent hardware surely everyone would just use it?
>>

 No.8413

>>8280
Compilers are much better
You can't gain much by just enabling latest architecture instructions
(Distro maintainers use the same compiler)
Targeting it on skylake instead of Core 2 duo gives you meaningful performance increase only in HPC scientific workloads

A rocket China launched went into orbit but the launcher also accidentally went into orbit and will fall down within the next two weeks. It's pretty big, but it's not gonna come down and nuke a country. It'll likely catch fire on reentry and debris will fall into the ocean. There's still a possibility of it hitting civilization though.

Wobbly is a workplace organising platform, being designed and prototyped by a small voluntary team of developers. It’s a communication and coordination tool, with structures and processes modelled on the IWW’s organising style (hence the name, coming from the IWW nickname). We’re creating a space for energetic, powerful, and democratic unions to win struggles, grow.

Sometimes while using the onion website it says my posts are flood for dozens of minutes on end.
Could you possibly fix that?
Is there something i should do to fix that?
>>

 No.8296

whenever someone is using the TOR node to spam it counts towards the specific connections post limit(to prevent flooding). So it's likely you're trying to make one post after someone tried to use it to spam and you hit the same limit.

You have to use the onion address. Exit nodes are blocked because they are insecure.

I know that if I run my own instance of searx is the most private way to search things up. But what about public instances of searx like search.snopyta.org, are they any safer than just using pure duckduckgo? Because I am still trusting a 3 party with my data, the only other advantage that I see using a public instance of searx is that is completely open source. Are there any other positives?
