According to local monero, the full blockchain is now ~115GB, which probably means that the pruned chain is 4+GB

I hate blockchain so fucking much, when will we get a p2p that doesn't inherently suck ass on every level?

Seriously, buying drugs online is supercool but who ever thought it was a good idea to store every fucking transaction ever on a immutable log file? It is so fucking stupid i hate it so much, all cryptobros need to get shot in the ass fuckfuckfuck

>>21346
>pruned chain is 4+GB
I meant 40+ obviously

>>21346
>p2p that doesn't inherently suck ass on every level?
Isn't that pretty much everything other than blockchain?

>>21346
So you don't know how Monero works. Unlike bitcoin, transactions cannot be tracked back to you. When you are controlling a node, you can wipe/not save all the logs you want. Nobody is forcing you to keep logs on yourself lol

bohemia/cannabia might be exit scamming

I never understood the appeal of LED fans. Yes I did have a LED PC phase when I was in my 20's but I've mellowed out to a more subdued look, No LEDs,. just letting the performance of the computer speak for itself in a nice MicroATX case, with no windows. And it has a nice big 200mm or so fan in the front with a fan filter. And it does have 2 5.25 inch bays, one I put in a Blu-Ray/DVD Drive so I can watch the DVDs I collected over the years.

>>21340
>I don't like pretty things SO WHY DOES EVERYONE ELSE
Want a cookie for that?

>>21341
No, bright LEDs are more obnoxious than anything else and the whole 'Gamer" look is overpriced junk that looks ugly as hell.

>>14130
Not exclusively. Aesthetics are certainly important to many but a more expensive case often has different properties in other ways in terms of materials, function/capability, and in some cases manufacturing and other factors that influence its price.

>>14212
I'm from this era. There were a lot of differences back then and aside from some of the more extensive mods (often done for shows, LAN events and more ) the features and support that we used to have to mod in at considerable expense were eventually adopted into new classes of cases for enthusiasts which was generally a good thing. However, the increasing financial and technical accessibility of PC gaming in the 2000s and definitely by the 2010s meant that things evolved but not always for the best. There's a lot more to discuss about the changes since that era, but its not as simple as most make it out to be.

>>21216
Most office cases were made with horrid compatibility for components (often using non-standard mobos, PSUs and others at times), bad cooling potential and the like. They were meant for massmarket, price point focused for businesses. I think one could pick enthusiast cases from older eras that had better features and similar aesthetics. For instance, I had the LianLi 6070A in one of my early custom builds which was full aluminum (old LianLi was full aluminum, modern LianLi is sadly often aluminum only on the outside and steel structure or other materials) and had a very clean aesthetic

>Gamer Aesthetic
A lot of this is really just contrarianism because it has become more common. Its just like hating RGB LEDs. Back in the day we would have killed for addressable RGB that was standardized and worked. Sure, people who leave everything looking like rainbow vomit isn't the look I prefer, but the "I'm going to go out of my way to not have any LEDs because I am a mature sophisticated person unlike those GAMERS" contingent strikes me as trying way too hard and looks ridiculous. Just about every set of decent RGB features can be turned off entirely or controlled to whatever color profile you wish. You want a single color or twPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

its nazism. look at the swastika in the first photo

>Find the forum for your phone on XDA-developers and have at it!
How? What exactly do I look for in the forum especially if I'm a noob?

>>21324
If you're a noob it might be better to get an old phone and fuck with that before messing with your main

>>21330
I already managed to flash GrapheneOS onto it. Looked around seems like avbroot is also good to patch it with.

>>21332
damn nice work for a noob. planning on getting a graphene phone sometime. I wonder how it identifies itself to the network, like is it a massive advertisement that you care a lot about security?

>So Marxism-Leninism is obviously opposed to abstraction since it's idealism
Dialectics are an abstraction.
>what will be the fate of programming languages that have their entire root in abstractionism like Python and R?
C pointers and structs are abstractions. No double** pointers exist in real machine code, what the CPU process is nothing but a sequence of bytes, which are also an abstraction, since bytes are nothing but electrical current interpreted as binary numbers.
>so clearly programming languages have suffered from the same kind of idealistic penetration as biology itself.
MLs are also idealists. They think they can apply the pure idea of the Russian revolution to the current material conditions, and they can't get their shit together since the fall of the USSR.
>Will communism destroy idealistic programming languages like python and R?
No. You WILL program with Lisp macros and strongly typed languages and you WILL like it.

neither marxism nor materialism are opposed to abstraction in all cases anon

This kind of thinking is how you get shit like Lysenkoism. Filtering everything through a "Marxist" lens in this way is vulgarization.

I'm gonna work on this a lil more and use it as an input image next

damn these suck but it was worth a shot (1st was input)

>>20889
much closer to the input. Goes hard.

>>21039
Wow, this pic goes hard. Mind if I save it?

pretty sure that only works on sites that have both jpeg xl and webp versions of images

youve just made yourself more easily recognizable for no benefit

>>21041
I'm okay with an image not loading tbh.

Seems to be a rare alunya pic or one that's new, I've never seen this one

I may be an idiot, but… WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THREAD ABOUT??

OP hasn't archived shit, it's just text files with filetype lists. He spent a month putting a dot in front of extensions he took from Wikipedia.
>>21105
>from kate gang(???) leftychan.org
it's filetypes, one of which is .apk, I didn't know leftychan.org hosted APKs.

>>21110
the filetype list txt files are for archiving tool.
to copy paste in httrack.
hence why i want a list full of all the file kind taken straight out of wikipedia.

this thread is the creation of my autismretardationspecialeducationadhdbrain.
hence why thread is looking derailed.

>>21113
>autismretardationspecialeducationadhdbrain
but anon, I have autismretardationadhdbrain and that's why I hate things that are complicated. Now that I understand what you want to do, I can tell you you could have used a single wget line.

wget -mpckE --user-agent="" -e robots=off --wait 1 www.foo.com

Explanation: https://dheinemann.com/posts/2022-02-05-archiving-a-website-with-wget

Then with { } and the && operator (or a shell script) you can download all kinds of websites, e.g.

#!/bin/sh
wget -mpckE --user-agent="" -e robots=off --wait 1 $1
echo "done"

save as archive.sh, chmod +x it and then in terminal:

$ ./script.sh www.leftypol.{org,net}

wget will automatically convert all pages to .html, make the links relative, and you will have an offline mirror of the website.

>>21115
woah. i will use this

>>21115

it blew my mind how good it was for downloading multiple issues of periodicals from libgen

what are you saying? graphene is secure. somewhat.

Where the fuck am I supposed to get the money to buy stupidly expensive and complicated phones and laptops? When am I supposed to find the time to learn not only how to use these devices, Linux variations, and other software but also the proper hygiene for all this shit? I feel like it takes so much time, energy, and resources to maintain a clean and untraceable apparatus that there would be no time to go commit transgressive or revolutionary acts. You’d be too busy updating your drivers on kali or making sure your phone worked.

>>17235
That's why a de-Googled ROM based on vanilla Android is the way to go: >>19332

>expensive and complicated laptops?
The best laptops for privacy are the old and simple ones. Old thinkpads, for example. Because it is only recently that intel put that ME into CPUs. A thinkpad T60/61 doesn't have the backdoor CPU stuff.

Based. The lefists are coming onboard.
burn down 5g towers and so on, they are means of control.

>I would recommend mounting ext2 and other journal-less filesystem with the sync option.
If this error message is from a journal-less filesystem then it must have come from btrfs, but thanks for the info.

>I'm starting to supect it's the flash drive or your usb hub is flaky.
It didn't work on two PCs with two OS's.
One is a 10 year old gaming rig, the other ancient prehistoric hardware someone gave away. Those should be different enough.

Lubuntu 5.x kernel, antiX 4.x kernel.

Could it be a bug in mkfs.ext4?
e2fsprogs: Lubuntu - 1.46.3, antiX - 1.46.2

Maybe its the flash drive, but why?
As I said above, even when I used cryptsetup and tried to format /dev/mapper/usb-encrypted I got the same result.

>>21170
PS: I'll test another flash drive later, gotta free it first.

>>21170
>Maybe its the flash drive, but why?
Io errors on block devices only happen with bad hardware, device drivers or partition tables, not because of partitioning tools.

Filesystems commonly have multiple superblocks for redundancy (they are at the sector numbers mkfs.ext2 prints during partitioning). Your fsck indicates all of them were garbage, so something must be very wrong.

Try this with e2fsck:

       -c     This  option  causes  e2fsck to use badblocks(8) program to do a
              read-only scan of the device in order to find  any  bad  blocks.
              If any bad blocks are found, they are added to the bad block in‐
              ode to prevent them from being allocated to a file or directory.
              If  this option is specified twice, then the bad block scan will
              be done using a non-destructive read-write test.

>>21173
>Try this with e2fsck -c -c
mkfs.ext4 -c -c tests for bad blocks before writing.
I downsized the btrfs sdb2 and created sdb3 for testing,
(0/0/0) errors and it still doesn't work.

Furthermore, searching for bad blocks on a usb stick is pointless afaik because those drives constantly check for bad blocks themselves, due to flash storage wearing out more easily than others.
Flash drives have an abundance of "secret" storage space that is activated whenever part of their memory breaks down.
This is the reason why data eraser tools can not reliably be used on flash drives
Afaik there's also custom driver software that you can put on USB keys to make that backup space accessible, thus increasing available storage space.

Back to me:
If on 128GB of storage even a small 1GB partition can not be ext2/ext4 formatted, that's impossible when 45 GB video data on 120GB btrfs partition can be written (and read again) flawlessly.

Btw here someone says it doesn't make sense at all to check for bad blocks on newer drives of any kind:

If im reading it right, it seems like they only added an option to switch to local instances (there are no other options) but then it hides all public instances
Im going to do what you said and add my own redirects with that extension, thanks for the suggestion

Does it "redirect" by editing links on the page or by editing your request? And how does it handle embed media? Can you use regex for configuring "redirects"?

>>17462
>LibRedirect
I'm getting errors, it won't redirect me anywhere.
