What tech companies do not produce their products in mainland China? I'm trying to find an external hard drive because my current drives are a little full, and I'm trying to become more aware of where my products are made. However, I cannot find out which companies produce their products where. Does anyone have a list of "safe" tech companies who produce their material outside of West Taiwan (Or, even better, are made in the U.S.)?

Hydrus Network General #2 Anonymous Board volunteer 04/20/2021 (Tue) 22:48:35 No. 3626 [Reply] [Last]

This is a thread for releases, bug reports, and other discussion for the hydrus network software. The hydrus network client is an application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf/webm collections. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. Advanced users can share tags and files anonymously through custom servers that any user may run. Everything is free, privacy is the first concern, and the source code is included with the release. Releases are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. I am the hydrus developer. I am continually working on the software and try to put out a new release every Wednesday by 8pm EST. Past hydrus imageboard discussion, and these generals as they hit the post limit, are being archived at >>>/hydrus/ . If you would like to learn more, please check out the extensive help and getting started guide here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/

>>5003 that reminds me; kernel updates on my system regularly fail. I should get that looked at. There are other computers, but they aren't entirely mine to fiddle with. The computer I'm using now is the best i've got. >Unfortunately, that booru seems to be offline now, I am sorry. What? I'm browsing the site right now: https://ourobooru.booru.org My ultimate goal is to have a backup for this booru with all the tag metadata, so reinstating a new booru if the one in use goes under becomes trivial. Thank you for the help, I've learned a good bit trying to get this to work. I think I might just get a new computer and try it there, since I've been considering getting something with a clean slate for a while anyway.

>on big import page >accidentally hit f5 >nice order of files is now gone does this happen to anyone else? it'd be nice if there was a sort option that would order files based on their # in the file import log window. sorting by time imported doesn't quite work because all the previously imported files end up at the top. i guess that would basically require hydrus to do a known url search for each and every url in the file import log, though. which might cause an unreasonable amount of lag for large pages.

Experimental Release Tomorrow! Anonymous Board volunteer 08/04/2021 (Wed) 04:04:03 No. 5031

I had a mixed week. I completed a long delayed maintenance routine for repositories, letting them track tags, siblings, and parents processing separately, but it proved much more complicated than I expected, and while I am happy with the work, I have nothing else to show. Since the change also touches core areas of repository processing, I want to do a limited beta test before I roll it out to everyone. The release should be normal time tomorrow, but it will be an experimental release, only recommended for advanced users.

It will teach you in half an hour all that these soy-dripping websites do for free, plus you can run in on a potato without internet access and you don't get your browser data harvested. After that you can start using Vim and read the user manual bit by bit. Don't try to read it back to cover, read a bit, use Vim a bit, read a bit, use Vim a bit, and so on. To access the manual type ':help' in Vim. The manual has roughly to parts: the actual user manual and the reference documentation. The reference goes into detail and is intended for people who know what they are doing. Read the actual user manual instead. >>4963 I find these video counter-productive. Just do the tutorial yourself. The video format is better suited for short "tips" style videos, but YouTubers have to make 10+ minute long videos for that sweet advertising money.

Tor Discussion Anonymous 06/15/2020 (Mon) 04:52:53 No. 449 [Reply] [Last]

So, what's so bad about Tor? >it's a honeypot Not really, I have done extensive research into this and the only people caught on it were dumb fucks who made OpSec mistakes. Plus, the only people championing this point are schizos who use VPN services or set up their own VPN, or even just use their plain ISP-given IP address, all of which are way riskier than using Tor. If you're concerned about onion links being honeypots, then set up your own. It's one of the easiest things in the world to do. >it's slow Fair enough. >a lot of sites block it Yeah, and a lot of sites are fags anyways, a lot of sites are also using ReCatapha and require phone verification and use Cloudflare or AWS. Sites have been against privacy for a long time and are banning VPNs too. >it's operated by sjws&trannies Literally everything is now, including VPN services and ISPs, there is no escape unless you want to fully disconnect from the internet and live in a cabin in the woods, which considering people are still using this site, I don't see happening. Also, the directors are known privacy-advocates. >firefox Firefox is rapidly becoming a shit browser for privacy, yes, Chromium is worse, "Ungoogled" Chromium is still Chrome garbage, same with Brave, alternative Firefox builds are usually outdated, and Opera is blatantly spyware. Meanwhile, Tor usually strips out all the tracking that Firefox tries to push in new releases. >relays and nodes operated by governments Which is more of a reason to get more people using Tor so more people can set up nodes and relays aside from government interference. Not opening this to start an argument or a bash on how bad Tor is or just to simply praise Tor, I want a discussion, because most points about Tor being bad for privacy are easily debunked and usually only used by schizos and I want to ensure my personal privacy.

>>3336 >It seems like gentoo maintainers have been going on a killing spree with anything that goes unupdated for a year. even if it really doesn't need updates. Talking from the future here, but LXDE didn't get removed. That said, being unmaintained upstream isn't just about getting new features, it's about getting support when code eventually rots and becomes unable to compile/function properly on modern systems. LXDE currently requires very few patches, but I'm sure if a bug or two appear that aren't trivial to solve, they'll consider it for removal again. You're usually free to contribute to keeping it alive, if you can fix the issues. Same shit happened with opentmpfiles, as the latest version had significant bugs and had to be masked, nobody stepped up for over a year to either fix those or release a new upstream version, so they decided it wasn't worth keeping around.

Welcome to /p2p/, the dedicated peer-to-peer thread for /tech/ and the bunker for /t/orrentfags. What is P2P? Peer-to-Peer technologies allow decentralized networks to share data. They can be used to bypass oppressive government regulations on speech or to download the latest seasonal anime. What are my options? First and foremost is BitTorrent, a common protocol where files are split into chunks which are then shared via swarm, which works to get everyone a copy. There are many BitTorrent clients out there, and everyone has a personal preference. Some are owned my corporations and full of spyware. It's recommended you use something open source, like Deluge or qBitTorrent. Won't my internet get shut down? If your ISP is cucked then they might, but thankfully there is a solution. Use a VPN! Don't trust any VPNs that advertise all over the place. What is IPFS?

Has anyone already tried to get shingetsu/saku (p2p/federated imageboard) running over i2p/TOR? It doesn't seem to work straight-up with the standard tunnels, and modifying the code to set the proxy in urllib.request.Request fucks up something else, presumably with the HTTP requests, so peering stops working for TOR and straight up stops the entire thing from running for I2P. Anyone solved this already or am I the first to try this?

>>392 I like BiglyBT's searching capabilities. It lets me scrape and search the DHT, and has RSS support. I think you can use it to search trackers in the same way as QB but I never have to. I just search the DHT, and if I get no results I can set up a "subscription" which just repeats that search and stores the results while I'm idle. There's also a swarm merge plugin that does this automatically with files you're downloading so if one of your torrents only has X% availability it automatically suggests other torrent files it found that have the same file in it. So you might end up finding 2 torrents with 50% and merging them together to fix the swarm for both of them. It also ships with i2p support out of the box if you ask for it, which means extending those searches beyond the clearnet. I never stop seeding my torrents but I stop seeding them on the clearnet at 2.0, and I'm sure others do the same. Among a ton of other shit. It's one of the oldest clients and its modular so a bunch of plugins exist around automation, search, etc. >>4458 I host a node but honestly never use the thing for search. I think I spend more time looking at its cool statistics graphics more than anything else. It's a good idea though so I contribute my disk and bandwidth to it for now.
