I have been wanting to learn cybersecurity, but I want to get into the ways of the darker stuff. I thought I'd console people on a forum or some shit, cause they'd probably have info. Thanks!

There's a Nintendo 64 app called retro-crypto that can encrypt data and generate wallet addresses and stuff.

Because what do you trust more to encrypt your messages, your "smartphone" or your N64?

That's kinda cool but how do we know they implemented crypto correctly? Cryptography libraries have to be audited, and an n64 probably lacks some of the hardware support a modern processor users for crypto, meaning it would have to be re-implemented in software, and who knows if they did that 100% correct.

 No.13775

>>13771
You'd be surprised how much power the N64 has, if you look at the github it's mostly just stitching together existing libraries: https://github.com/bowler-bear/retro-crypto

However, more code review is still needed before this can be recommended for more than testing. (Fixed github link after I had it wrong before)

also, in case anyone was wondering, I don't remember if systemd does fstrim by default but instead of a cron job I just run fstrim every few days (since it hangs during) to maintain solid state drives e.g.
sudo fstrim / -v
sudo fstrim /home -v

Warning: Moar NixOS shilling

NixOS is a source based distro. It will either copy pre-build binaries from a binary cache if it exists, or if you customized some packages, it will download the source code, and compile it for you.

In my case I have a computer I use as a router, so it hosts wifi. But to do that it needs some non standard kernel configurations and patches for the wifi driver (because of some legal bullshit with radios).

That router computer has a relatively slow CPU compared to my desktop rig, so for a major update the kernel alone takes about an hour and a half to rebuild.

But NixOS is crazy - it lets me run the nixos-rebuild command with an option to use my other computer for all the compiling heavy-lifting. So I'm sitting here right now watching my 16 core machine compile the kernel for my router. And all I had to do was set up an ssh key and run the command.

Admit it that's fucking cool.

Gatekeeping a socialist chan from mobile users makes no sense.

Chans famously work like dogshit on mobile, so I want to explore the best possible way a chan can look on a mobile device.

>What app in your opinion is the gold standard for mobile UX?
>Have you heard of any UI toolkits that you think would work well for a chan?
>Have you ready any modern design philosophy that you think is worth looking into to implement?

Bottom line: what should leftychan look like on a phone(idealized version)?

This needs to be thought about eventually if we don't want to completely die out. New generations won't understand how to navigate a website that doesn't work the way they expect on their device.

I use the "Chance" app to browse 4chan. If you could make this site compatible with that, that would be tremendous.
>>

 No.13767

>>13764
Cool, I checked it out. It's pretty feature-full but a bit cluttered in terms of design. And I think it only supports 4chan, so you would still have to download another app to use it I think.

But it is one way to do it, you're right. I'll keep studying design though, I think chance can be improved-upon.

I was using icecat for android for so long that it was since removed from fdroid. It's horribly insecure and out of date and I had to switch to regular firefox android (or is it called fennec? Idk). It's livable, and ublock and privacy badger work so I'm relatively happy. I'm a lot less enraged today than I was 6 months ago, but that's because I've become a better person not because mozilla is better.

So the US Congress has been busy the last four years or so trying to build a draconian internet surveillance bill under the guise of protecting the children. Britain has been trying to push something similar to this for the past year, and many other countries in the American hegemony have working for several years now to outlaw encryption. The good news at the moment is both chambers Congress seem unable to reconcile the differences between their two bills and combine them into one.

https://reclaimthenet.org/the-house-just-voted-for-kosa

Let's say they finally do pass a bill like this though. Would it be the outright end of anonymous forums based in Western countries? Is it even enforceable? Will people revolt to decentralized/distributed protocols?

What would be the future of online discussion?

I don't know about you, but 4chan has long needed peace; it has not been anonymous for a long time, it uses a captcha that collects user data, and if it blocks users, that's just life. Where is your anonymity? Reddit, at least, allows you to create an account with a proxy or VPN. And what is 4chan? There is also a Russian-speaking equivalent called Dvach, which is even worse; it even blocks posts that are not from Russia. What kind of nonsense is that? There is also a law prohibiting GPT, and God forbid you joke about politicians; they will simply ask the owner of Dvach to leak your IP, and that's it. So the only anonymity is the absence of identification, but for the provider, you are still the same. In short, these sites are dead. In short, I have long been waiting for your opinions and criticism; if I am mistaken or wrong about something, please let me know.
