>>1722 pretty decent for the price, but even then id go for a 5800x3d, maybe look for one on facebook or something if youre in the UK, people throw those away now that they're upgrading to am5, the value you get is just too good

>>1729 For an AM5 build would the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU be good enough?

>>1732 the L3 cache size is just so insane for bideo games i cant imagine myself without my x3d chip, i think its worth the little extra $$, (if youre getting brand new) they're easy to find cheap

Alright, so I think I've managed to narrow it down between two builds. The first one that I've already talked about that's on the lower end... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6gx3xg CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor (£139.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler (£36.95 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Motherboard: MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£110.09 @ Amazon UK) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£90.00 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Black SN770 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (£109.69 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Seagate IronWolf NAS 4 TB 3.5" 5400 RPM Internal Hard Drive (£106.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Video Card: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB Video Card ( @ Amazon UK) Case: be quiet!

This build is on the higher end... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kDwrKq CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor (£319.97 @ Amazon UK) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler (£39.90 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard (£124.99 @ Amazon UK) Memory: Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (£94.99 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Black SN770 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (£109.69 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Seagate IronWolf NAS 4 TB 3.5" 5400 RPM Internal Hard Drive (£106.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Video Card: XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Core Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card (£429.98 @ Amazon UK) Case: be quiet!

Also, AM5 type PC builds are more customisable, so if I wanted to change parts later on, it would be a worthwhile investment.

>>1733 here! i love both builds!, imo, if you feel comfortable i cant stress this enough, check ebay or facebook for second hand barely used or new parts, people throw stuff away for insanely cheap! especially right now. if youre worried about money you might be able to pick up a part or two youre interested in that someones throwing away for pennies, only downside is that you may not get warranty, which can be a deal breaker for some. not to blog on but if i used my build for example, brand new would have cost me over 4k AUD, but i bought 3/4 of it off facebook either brand new or barely used and i only spent around 2.3, just food for thought

>>1699 How lewd!

>>1247 I loved how the spam filter was just regex and very bad regex at that.

Have any imageboards used it yet? I know there was this one called Dizzychan that was set up as a test but as expected it died within a week.

>>1703 There's basically zero interest because it's so outdated you need a server with very old repos so outside of a curiosity there's no reason to make one

They took it down. I wanted to see inside. Like what makes 4chan tick.

Some others you're missing: Mullvad Browser- firefox with secure defaults, operated by Mullvad team. KeepassXC- password manager, can sync database between devices with something like Syncthing. Tutanota- mail service out of Switzerland, supports encryption and auto-deletes accounts after a period of inactivity.

Respectfully hikarin, this list is pretty surface level and many of the options listed are objectively inferior. >duckduckglow >youtuber shilled vpns >proprietary password managers >le meme lion browser Cmon now.

>>1687 Surfshart, Nord, DuckDuckGlow, Brave opinion discarded

all part of a true hacker's basic repertoire

>>49 I'm on mint right now

>>1331 Alpine Linux

My first one was Mint, now I use Void. (1337 get)

A get deserving to be taken by a voidfag

>>48 Did they tell you to install gentoo

Gay Nazi Offensive Moronic Enthusiasts

>>1584 this guy looks like someone who would molest people ngl

>>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.
