>>1584 molestors' presence only prove that the distro is secure and good. if its not good then molestors won't be there, no? >>1589 physiognomy hasn't failed humanity yet.

fucking chimp face

makes you wonder why debian names their releases after toy story characters

I've been using Tor Browser more than a decade with scripts disabled. You can do that nowadays by setting the default security level to "safest" through the shield icon in the browser bar. I don't really know what else is out there but this is what I use, and this is what I recommend everyone else to use as well.

>>1661 >>1662 Thanks for the insight hikarin. I agree that Firefox is generally the best bet to be usable on the modern web, but it's nice to dream about a less shitty version of the modern web sometimes. Sucks that Pale Moon threw away their credibility to be furry spergs. A bit unrelated, but do you have much experience with alternative webs? Things like Gopher, Gemini, Freenet, IPFS, etc? I like the idea of them and absolutely see the appeal but from my (limited) experience they're a bit too niche and often too limited to have much content. My idealistic cope fever dream is all the people of the "dissident web" (for lack of a better term) who use IRC and altchans and such to migrate off the clearweb into some sort of alternative internet protocol(s) but I know that will not happen.

>>1666 I've been using gopher since before http took off. It's pretty nice. But hardly anyone hosts content on it. Freenet I've tried but I'm not really in a position to say whats on the network. Same for Gemini. Isn't Gemini the one that requires you load javashit and have to host the content of the pages you browse? I can't remember why but I stopped using it. I think it was because of pizza spam. IPFS I really like but the developers refuse to fix basic things about it like the fact that you have to store data in the datastore and on your local HDD. Meaning for every TB you give it you have to have 2TB. There is an option to prevent this but it has been broken for many years. Another big issue with IPFS is it really taxes your router/modem. I was running it for a week and it murdered my LAN. The router got so hot that it was shutting down due to the thousands of requests it was getting a second. The network is really unstable because of that. But I do like the idea in theory. The main issue with it is the developers and their attempts to turn it into yet another crypto scam instead of a real free encrypted network for data. They have many long time bugs they simply refuse to fix. Instead they've been courting big tech companies and trying to get them to use the software. They're going after the tech bro investment money instead of making something for everyone to use for free. Another big problem is new p2p protocols aren't taking off because users refuse to donate bandwidth+space. They're opting to use things like private torrent trackers instead. Which are stupid. I refuse to engage with those people because they're bad actors and don't follow the spirit of hacker ethics. They don't care about the data being free for everyone. All they care about is clout and money.

>>1669 you're wrong hikarin, gemini is basically just postmodern gopher with markdown instead of gopher syntax... and mandatory encryption

>>1669 >>1670 I think that Hikarin is thinking of Hyphanet (Formerly known as Freenet).

>>1617 Emacs does not have any of that "inside" of it. It is not a text editor that that fell to scope creep, but instead a Lisp interpreter/VM. As a side effect it provides a fully mutable environment which has resulted in the creation of many Lisp programs, some of these come packaged with Emacs, and the user may run or delete these programs as he sees fit.

>>1625 I love emacs key bindings. I use them for everything. They're faster once you get the hang of it and move ctrl to CAPS. I can't stand modal editing. I use vi fairly often but I avoid it and use emacs whenever possible. Emacs has become my entire OS for the most part. I only leave it to use Firefox and a couple of other applications. If I can do something in Emacs I try to. I made a manga reader for it in about 20 lines of lisp because the one I was using was so annoying and pulled it so many other things. I was using emacs as my window manager for a long time. It was okay. But had some quirks I didn't want to live with. So now I'm back on dwm with emacs loading as a daemon when I log-in. It's pretty comfy.

>>1660 If you ever want a simple in and out vi-like experience in the terminal but emacs style, you might enjoy mg. I use that when I want super user privileges without having to use TRAMP.

ee and nano

>>1665 Yeah mg is part of my OS I use it pretty often. I only use vi on remote machines where I can't install software.

HolyC

>>424 I want to learn Racket. It's sound so fun to craft your own meta-language I don't know what I'd use it for tho...

Not fluent, but I've made "projects" in Lua for making mods in Garry's Mod, though I am just recently learning Python in college. I've made way too many disappointing attempts in trying to learn Python or any other programming languages prior to college, during high school. I just hope college motivates me to be better, because it really sucks being lazy, I'm trying to break away from the habit.

C++ since you can do RAII and make the memory work for you or you can have free control to do all the memory management yourself like C style. Wide range of control and architecture you can have in C++ makes me love it.

Mostly C, various lisp dialects and sh scripting. I use lisp more and more each year. Trying to slowly work my way down the stack and make everything lisp when possible. I'm frustrated though because I'm using 3 lisp dialects right now and I'd prefer to use just one.

Nvm figured it out. Using handbrake I can rename the audio settings and subtitles as well as make it an mkv

>>1646 Good job. Hikarin must be very smart

>>1650 I can be sometimes

In the mesh radio world there is LXMF, which is built on the Reticulum Network Stack. The two apps you can use with it is Sideband for mobile and Meshchat for desktop (it comes with a NomadNet browser too - a pretty comfy web alternative built on LXMF). If you can't reach a destination, it will store the message on a procoolation node nearby or of your choosing then send it to the destination once it's available. Keep in mind every single packet on Reticulum is encrypted so node operators won't be able to read anything. Reticulum is way too autistic for normalfags right now, even more than TOR/I2P so I haven't tried it in the real world yet, though I want to set up my own LoRa node in my area and get my friends to set up their own, that way I don't have to use the internet at all.

>>1652 fuck wordfilter can't even say "prop0gation"

>>1425 go is dope

63 posts and no mention of lisp

>>231 Rust >Cargo Need I say more? needing to wrap everything in "unsafe" for interacting with the native API is getting really old, though. I do like how I can use the msvc toolchain for x64 and write asm, though, since M$ decided intrinsics can replace inline asm for whatever reason. C and Go are great languages, though. Golang is amazing for backend work.

Haskell and Lisp, I love em.

>>231 im quite fond of both python and C++ or C# since both languages have been around and are very robust and generally pretty darn secure

What is your reason for using it?

>>1595 i mostly started using it out of curiosity. the laptop i have it installed on is really only used for college and extra-curricular studies so i thought why not. there is also the privacy aspect, which is always nice. is Qubes a bit more than my threat model needs? perhaps for now. but that may change in the future. honestly it functions quite well for my usecase, and the focus on compartmentalization strokes my autism a certain kind of way.

why are you gae

cool
