hello, I work in cs (pentester) and I'm looking for hacking based imageboards !!!!
lainchan used to have pentesting groups, or least 5yrs before lain become mainstream that is
I'm fairly new to messing with my NAS and using Docker to install a program. Does anyone know how to set up Gluetun with Mullvad. Mullvad dropped support for Openvpn and I dont want to run qbittorrent on my NAS without some sort of VPN in the same container. I just cant get the projects to work on my Synology no matter what I configure 
According to the github page for gluetan, it supports Mullvad using Wireguard. Is this an option for you?
Any Gentoo Friends on this board? If so tell me what you love or hate about it. What USE flags do you use? In the meanwhile I will post some of my favorite Gentoo Desktops!!
Ok I tried emerge -pvu @installed and turns out I could update 200 pkg, including qt >Conflict: 23 blocks (all satisfied) But you should update your world set, not @installed anyway.
How do you guys keep your system nice and tidy? Personally I just --depclean and eclean-dist/pkg/kernel but I was wondering if there was anything else to keep in mind
>>449 My installation of gentoo has been without desktop manager for 3 years, since patching dwm is long and tedious (for me, i want like 13 patches) and I just kinda burnt out. I want to finish it this summer! (this week even?)
What's the advantage of Gentoo over Arch or Void? I understand a bit about Gentoo, like how it's source based comp and ability to tailor it to your hardware, but is that all? If your hardware is only 5 or 6 years old, then is Gentoo worth it? Asking because I'm deciding between building a cyberdeck using Radxa Q6A or buying a Thinkpad from around 2022. Will use it for watching anime, reading manga, playing emulators and Morrowind/Oblivion (original, not the shitty version), and general use.
https://github.com/victorvde/jpeg2png There's this rather obscure tool on github from a decade ago called "jpeg2png" that's designed to remove jpeg artifacts. I've been using it for a decade now and nothing else even comes close to it in terms of quality. Even those expensive neural network based ones are considerably less effective than this tool. The only real flaw of it is that some images that actually do contain significant noise and are saved at low quality get smoothed out slightly. Understand though that importantly, that this is not smoothing in the sense of blurring, but reduction of the JPEG coefficients. In general, this tool does not result in any blurring. I believe the tool works by tweaking the DCT coefficients to result in the minimum noise and maximum coherence, which usually results in a result very close to the original. The reason the smoothing happens for high noise images is presumably because it is because the solution it finds is just to tweak every DCT coefficient so it is slightly smaller to minimize the cost. I wonder if this issue could be simply fixed by detecting when most DCT coefficients decrease, and not changing them in that case. In cases where they are legitimately being decreased, the reduction in cost would be significantly higher and the changes in DCT coefficient should be pretty much evenly spread, as the errors were introduced by quantization/rounding, which is not biased.
Hey Hikarins! I've been saving money from my new job recently and I've been looking at upgrading my monitor! I currently have a generic HP 1920x1080 at 100hz and I want y'all's advice! I'd kind of like to keep the resolution because I like the wide, single monitor setup but if there's something really exceptional out there, let me and the other people in the thread know! 
Honestly 1080p is enough still and if you dont care all that much maybe try the jump to what others call 2k (2560×1440). It's a huge jump in quality and wayyy easier to run than 4k. I wouldn't recommend ultra wide unless you know how to mod games and all your shows will have black bars. I will say you should try a dual monitor setup! It's convenient if you ever wanna boot up something separate or put a video on the side. Sometimes I'll play my ps3 on my main monitor and transfer files/do other tech stuff on my pc in the background. 100hz is good but if you can affordably get 144 or 175hz I'd recommend that too. Realistically you shouldnt't need to spend more than ~3-400 dollars on a new monitor, especially around holidays or days like fathers/mothers day. They get real cheap around them at places like Best Buy usually. Last bit of advice: price check always. I bought a monitor off Amazon for 50 dollars more than I would have paid on Newegg
Are you using an HDD or an SSD currently? I haven't upgraded to an SSD yet and I was wondering how common of an upgrade this was, because everyone I know has an SSD in their desktop except me
I have an SSD in both of my computers. You may as well upgrade, hikarin. It's a noticable improvement.
I think its very worth it, I have a t60 and upgraded it to an ssd, it took it from an old pc to basically on par with any of my newer computers.
>>1754 SSDs not only have faster read/write times (essentially quicker transfer speeds) but some games are now requiring them to load stuff quick enough. You may see an increase in performance and they have virtually zero moving parts (at least m.2's) so you don't have to worry about head crashes or moving parts failing/making noise.
>>1754 Me luv SSD I can just slam them and memory doesn't get corrupt. Like God intended. Stone tablet tier reliability
>>1754 I use SSD's for most of my computers at the moment but still primarily use HDD's for stuff like external storage, it is a pretty common upgrade and rather simple to do if you'd like to try it out yourself.
Hello hi/t/arins. I have an underpowered android tablet, a Samsung something-or-other. I am trying to decide what use I should make of it. Have any thoughts? I will flash a custom ROM and root it, so basically anything is on the table.
You might wanna try postmarketOS on it. It might be a funny homelab... given they suppport it... https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
Hikarin! It's time to discuss audio peripherals. This includes but is not limited to: >Wired/wireless over-ear headphones >Wired/wireless earbuds (including in-ear monitors) >Speakers >Mixers >Portable music players and more. Discuss and compare hardware, request recommendations, ask questions, and most of all have fun!
I am looking to switch out my over-ear PC headphones for some wired earbuds of some kind. Do you guys have any recommendations? From looking online I see people recommending these, the SENNHEISER Professional IE 100 PRO. My caveat is I don't really like the wired headphones that have the silicone tips, I'd rather have the kind that are shaped like the Apple Earpods but I don't think that specific design is very common unfortunately. Any thoughts?
Hey Hikarichanners! This thread is for people to discuss rigs and help with building rigs, and I need help pls. 
The only experience I had with building a compooter was watching a friend of mine build my last one, which didn't go so smoothly, so I want to just do it myself. I'll take any advice given to me, especially since I will want to use Linux (It's mainly for privacy concerns, and my building hatred for Microsoft, but I would also like to use it for gaming and probably video editing in the future). These are the components I found through PC part picker that were recommended to me from the monitor I chose. I mainly picked AMD components as people say that AMD is more compatible with Linux, also AMD parts are cheaper, and it helps fit my budget of around £1500 - £2000...

Main problem I have right now is picking out the case. I couldn't find one I liked from PC part picker, so I searched around for one and found this...
CiT Classic Micro ATX PC Case and 500w PSU, Budget Friendly Office PC case | Black
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BFH98R2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?smid=A1ENGI3QDWM2UF&psc=1
It has USB and optical drive slots at the front which I wanted for my case, but unfortunately I don't think it will be able to fit all the components I found. I wouldn't mind downgrading so it can all fit in, as long it can run games at the monitors specs on medium settings, or just changing the PC case completely. But the maximum dimensions I can take for a PC case are 25cm w, 48cm l, 52cm h.
Are Thinkpads really worth it? I have the opportunity to buy one for 387 USD, around 8gb of RAM and refurbished
Hey, OP here. I finally built the PC. Everything has been working fine, until I heard this rattling/grinding noise from my PSU. Is it something I should really be worried about? I may need to RMA it. https://files.catbox.moe/m8jka7.mp4
Anyone here know perl? I need a perl dev for mai site.

sorry hikarin i don't know perl
>Anyone here know perl? Perl is unknowable. A monk can train for a hundred years in the monastery at the foot of the masters without achieving satori. Reflect on Perl. Recite Larry's sutras. In time, you will find the Perl was inside you all along. Go in peace~
