/cyb/ /sec/ general: cyberpunk and cybersecurity

Placing /cyb/ on the banner did nothing (see previous thread) so I said fuck it.

"Well, it looks like we have to pull out of the Paris accord because... um... coal miners? Yeah. Those guys. All 13 of them. They gave me no choice! I had to decide: protect the earth for all of us? or protect the jobs of a few coal miners that hate their life? It's was a no brainer!"

Clean air is not very /cyb/

>air is not very /cyb/
Yeah but the point of cyberpunk isn't to fetishize dystopia. It is to fight it.

Dystopia is by definition undesirable. So if you desire a 'dystopian' future, you aren't describing dystopia. You're describing an aesthetic.

I would say that experience is subjective and one mans Dystopia is anothers Utopia.

last thread died at 30 replies even with a giant /cyb/ in the image. should we just stop trying? no one cares about cyberpunk or security anymore.

Lainchan is acting as a containment site reducing intrest in /cyb/ on /g/

Is there a modern (GNU plus) Linux equivalent to Truecrypt's "hidden operating system" feature? Like, I could enter some special incantation in GRUB's menu and it boots something other than what it shows as the default options, so that I could have one "Nothing to see here, officer" operating system and one real operating system with some means to select between them transparently at boot time?

Really? I saw lainchan.jp/cyb/ listed in the OP, but didn't know there was much crossover with anons of /g/. It's pretty aesthetic I must say.

Well, the recognition was that of a clear neon green rastered isoproportional font. A thin pale antialiased condensed font just does not have the same recognizability.

Please don't give up on that part yet.

Last one died after a massive rush in all other threads. I logged off for the night and the next day it was gone. Since /g/ is a fast board and /cyb/ is not the thread for immediate gratification there is a risk it will fall off page 10 in just a few hours.

this thread is fucked

as a regular lurker of this thread, it just seems like you try too hard. We are already living a horrifying cyberpunk dystopia, so why you need to meta-live it?
Plus, almost nobody needs to hide their data with so much secrecy, it's just too little of a niche.

Found this on the uber site, is it interesting?

Seems like an internal archive of python packages but there's also some shit to with phone numbers (???). You can follow the links and download python packages, but I can't tell if what you download could have some credentials in.

BEWARE, the page is very big, may hang your browser or fuck your connection.

everyone who gets in position of power and influence gets their ass handed to them with "oh, you browsed this, how about some character assasination if you don't comply with us".

It's deep state secret rule you dummy, of course "nobody" needs to hide because "it's not important".

Dumb cuck, you prolly won't get out of that basement for long enough to become of interest to anyone.

the UMWA is a big labor base, with a lot of dependent industries.

first of all, fuck everyone else. the yids, cameljockies, africants, yurotrash, pajeets, slavs and chinks would all cut our throats for a penny. india and chinas pollution PER CAPITA might be lower, only because there are so many to skew the results.

american coal fired power plants are cleaner than anything in india or china. people who go to china from the west, die in 10 years from the pollution there.

is NORDVPN a good VPN? and does anyone have a discount code for them? I was thinking of getting the 2 years for $96

"You"? Who is this "we" you speak of?

> We are already living a horrifying cyberpunk dystopia, so why you need to meta-live it?
Meta? Sounds like post modernism is back. I thought Derrida et al. were dead by now.
>Plus, almost nobody needs to hide their data with so much secrecy, it's just too little of a niche.
My credit card details are secret, pretty big niche you have there.

Can someone tell me what artificial intelligence actually is? I've been researching it and I can't see how it's substantially different from normal modern computers. I mean you can teach computers to recognize things visually and understand language or make prediction based decisions, but these things have been possible for years. Is there something unique in the research/technology for "AI" that makes it worthy of its own category, or is it just a fancy term to get dumb people to invest in snake-oil?

In my experience, when people talk about "artificial intelligence" they usually have an imaginary idea of a new super advanced type of smart technology, and they're also 100% convinced that construction of this technology is in progress right now. But if you ask them to define it as it exists in the real world, then you get one of two answers:

1. They don't know anything about the technology and they're just going off what they've seen in movies and new-wave bullshit.

2. Their description sounds pretty much identical to standard technologies that aren't termed "artificial intelligence."

So am I missing something?
