Hey, you!
Yes, you.
You can help keep 4chan up and running longer just by changing your posting habits.
This is a friendly reminder to compress all of your images so that hiro doesn't go bankrupt.
>>57847918
Was it really worth it?
>>57847918
But I don't know how to do that :(
>>57847918
why doesn't someone implement compression in 4chan-x so when you post an image it will try to loselessly compress it

Apparently they are going to be buying LG panels and rebranding them. I don't see the point honestly unless they are adding better calibration tools in firmware or Black-Frame Insertion to make the panel low-persistence like G-Synch monitors/CRTs and a better game mode to reduce input lag all for the PS4.

Meanwhile leaks of LG's own 2017 lineup will include the same sized panels with some updates including a wallpaper model (OLED65W7) that's as thin as a credit card, flexible, and mounted with magnets like refrigerator calendars/white boards.
>>57847912
i want that wallpaper thing
what resolution do they have?
>>57847912
Sony already has OLED panels.

You will never say

>starbucks has an intelligent computer system capable of understanding you and then reconfiguring and replicating matter on a molecular level with 100% precision
The presence of actual replicators in real life would bring too many problems.
But libs would loose their minds the second the media said you could replicate a gun. So far that value alone I hope they become a reality.
Okay /g/ what phones are good?
I've had a HTC Wildfire for years now and it's really showing its' age now. It's simply too old of a model to do certain app-use that newer phones can do, such as Snapchat, Kik, etc.
I might get a new phone this holiday season so any helpful input would be great
what the fuck did you say to me motherfuckair

o-oh...this seem...p-pretty expensive
Hey /g/
Government firewall has been kicking my arse lately, I'm motivated to do something about it and felt that I'd brainstorm here
Amerifats might be interested given possible action on VPNs etc.
Basically, OpenVPN can be detected via deep packet inspection, it has a signature.
PPtP isn't officially secure but it's good enough for casual use however regardless, it's a fixed port and easily blocked.
Long lived encrypted connections can be detected over time and blocked or throttled.
I've experienced all of the above at various times, plus connections outside the country are often just slower (because of keyword scanning against url/page content and packet inspection and because fuck you that's why) so sometimes VPNs just die because the handshake lags out without being explicitly blocked.
I made a feature list that I'd want for a VPN and nothing delivers it.
Feature list follows.
>>57847616
I'd want something like the following:
* frequency hopping/spread spectrum over ports
* emulate game traffic or other potentially whitelisted protocols
* nominative steganography - insert encrypted binary content into jpg wrappers (or other whitelisted file types) and send as http
* no exactly regular keep-alive, randomise port and time
* detect disconnected state but allow reconnect when bandwidth recovers
* avoid mindless polling when disconnected, use whitelisted IPs that won't attract government attention to detect bandwidth recovery before resuming contact with VPN
* support encryption plugins
Basically only the last one is really a feature of existing VPNs.
This means that I really need to code my own.
>>57847640
TCP networking is complicated though and I'm definitely inexperienced with it.
So my thoughts are:
* Rip the client and server code out of OpenVPN
* Write an API to these
* Move all port/timing/handshaking/keep-alive/reconnection code into swappable module classes
* implement custom code in those classes
>>57847652
So what does /g/ think of this as a project?
Any interest in helping out?
how to add a white 5px border to featherlight images :( :( :(
wat do??
>>57847552
find something not-retarded to worry about
>>57847552
gimp, enlarge canvas size by 10px vertical and horizontal, center original image layer...
>>57847552
>Autistic editing of fictional characters onto real photos (and not being a joke)
>Massive amounts of JPEG artifacting
God damn, it would have been a pretty decent image otherwise, and the shitty background makes it so you can't search for it.
Curious what the startup community is like out there
Well I start my PC up every morning.
>>57847403
Never knew that board. Think I found a new 50-50 home. Thanks.
Thoughts on the Arduboy?
>>57847334
>>57847339
would be cool if it was an emulator instead of a shitty open source engine with shitty open source games and a $49 price tag
>I just can't keep dust and dirt outta my pc...
Well.

Do pic related with oil and you can not damage anything . I think destiled water could work too but do not take my word for it.
Ever heard of compressed air?
>>57847881
Yeah pure water doesn't conduct electricity so you'd be good.
how can i troubleshoot SPDIF sound output not working in Linux? PC is hooked up to amp via an optical SPDIF cable, but nothing comes out. analog 3.5mm connection works fine.
pic related is my alsamixer screenshot
>>57847249
When I run into that problem its usually the Desktop environment sound mixer not ticked on. Or some sort of ALSA/PulseAudio conflict.
alsamixer and alsa in general is like too difficult to wrap your head around. i usually torubleshoot using pavucontrol. if you dont have pulse installed/enabled idk
try runningalsactl initand rebooting, fixed it for me a couple days ago when my sound was kill. if that fixes it, you might want to add it to the autorun for your DE
Is there a wrapper or lib for PouchDB that'll make it do lazy loading for all its replication? I'd like to use it for a project, but I've got ~10 MB of document data that I don't want to just pull down all at once on first load.
what language?
>>57846754
>PouchDB
>javascript database implementation
>>57846767
uh on your client
what was the cheapest computer you ever bought and what kind was it?
hp elitebook 8470p
180 dollars
raspberry pi doesn't count btw
>>57846637
i bought a chromebook on craigslist for i think $100 during that craze because i figured it would be good to wipe and install a lightweight distro on. turns out drivers were amazingly bad and even a macbook would have better drivers support in linux. also you had to root it to install a real distro other than chrome os.
it was still fun to use for a while but i learned my lesson. no meme computers
>>57846637
Lenovo x131e

IS FreeBSD really THAT much better?
>certified UNIX
>has far better gaming performance than both GNU and Windows
>no SystemD cancer
>Wayland is in the process of being ported to it
the only trade offs are
>no software
>no hardware support
Should I switch to FreeBSD?
>>57846627
>>certified UNIX
Okay, what now?
>>has far better gaming performance than both GNU and Windows
You are not going to use Orbis for daily use, are you?
>>no SystemD cancer
Explain why you are being the cancer, idiot newfag
>>Wayland
lol NO.
Wayland is going to be dependant on systemd-logind, it's a Linux only technology.
>has far better gaming performance than both GNU and Windows
[citation needed]
>>57846711
Wayland does not require SystemD

First for fuck anime
Anime is amazing and so is Haskell
