I'm looking for a free VPS with Debian 12 Linux full admin to set up an imageboard, but I don't think there is one. I'm tired of searching, so I'd better turn to this imageboard to see what you can recommend.

>free Linux VPS with full admin access laugh https://terminator.aeza.net/en/ alright i don't want to be a dick nya i don't really think you can do this, other than the numerous "free" cloud tiers that will ask you for your card then turn up a bill for your bandwidth. there are things like tilde.club (can't remember others) but besides always being available on a community/as-is/if-i'm-jiving-with-it basis they are also, uh, all non-root. honestly, if you waltz around lowendbox/lowendtalk for a suitable KVM, reading carefully, and spend A DOLLAR per month for actual service from a small-to-medium provider you could walk away with something pretty nice. alternatively, https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/services/hosting, or tunnel through cf from your home machine shades

Yes, I'm on Lemmy with the lemy.lol instance and on Mastodon. Personally I like Lemmy a lot more because it's very hard to find content at least for me on Mastodon. Ive never experienced any of the problems that people discuss on here, I just ignore the stuff that I obviously won't like neco_dance

On my place of employment's computers, without authorization I continue to download the Snowflake extension. This extension was designed by the Tor Project, and it creates a WebRTC proxy in your web browser to serve as a bridge for users where Tor is heavily blocked. The best part is to install the extension, most of the time you don't even need admin privileges and you can configure it to run even when the browser is closed with the click of a button. Am I a good or bad person for doing this? https://snowflake.torproject.org/

To do this on Android, install Orbot and enable "Kindness Mode". With the recent flareups in the Middle East, there's been a massive wave of blocking Tor in the effected countries, please help if you can!

Is buying old Thinkpads, Librebooting them and then reselling them a real business strategy? I remember people used to do this a few years ago when Thinkpad nostalgia was at its peak (2021 I think) but I didn't think people still did it. I always thought the type of person who would want a Librebooted Thinkpad would also be the type of person who would want to do it themselves, let alone the concern that the person "Librebooting" it also isn't putting spyware on your machine (See: Anom)

How much math is actually required when programming?

>>38 understanding basic geometry in 2D and in 3D, (for example, equations of lines, linear interpolations between points) is very helpful if you are dealing with graphics or even just bare gui layouts For everything else, the way math works is that once someone has figured something out you can just copy the solution. It's highly unlikely that you ever get to work on something inovative so its quite useless. It's still a good idea to understand these things tough If I say that your algorithm takes quadratic time, you should immediately know what that means and why otherwise you will look like a dunce

The amount of math you need will vary depending on what "genre" of programming you're working in. Web development might not need more than basic arithmetic, but you should explore languages that specialize in scientific computation to see another world of computing. https://julialang.org/community/organizations/

Not a lot and for those areas where it is necessary you can learn it then since it's usually just a sub-part of what you'd get taught in school. (like matrices and calculus for 3D graphics or understanding the modular multiplicative inverse for RSA crypto) It's usually the theoretical college parts for academics that focus on the mathematics.

Many people think that math is the only form of logic or the purest one, but math is just one of many different ways to think logically. Computers and machines focus primarily on machine logic, iteration, electricity, etc. Programming is highly logical but it's not a branch of maths by itself. What to expect: If you do computer graphics, data analysis, LLM, etc, you will use a decent amount of maths, not because of programming itself but because of your field. If you don't work on a math-heavy field then you won't do much maths besides arithmetics, though something that sticks is the declarative mindset of maths. Computers are inherently procedural, but in functional programming you think in a declarative way. If you like that then that's alright and if you don't then that's alright too because there are plenty of traditional languages and machines themselves are not declarative.
