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 ?

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?

>>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?

>>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.

I bet everyone's making a fuss about something that happens often because this time it's Chinese.

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?

no one uses xmpp, and it doesnt have cryptography natively….
not all implementations integrate with omemo and its ass and ugly and annoying, plus again no one uses it
Whats the problem with Signal? also there's p2p fork of Signal… not a great idea but also federated servers take effort so i guess for most people centralized makes sense here, its not optimal but fr what did Signal do to compromise security? they do real e2ee that is supposedly authenticated on each client, and its open source afaik so whats the deal
no matter what your metadata is fucked pretty much
also xmpp is federated too… so its also kinda ass for that
