Sharing tips (obviously I am not an expert):

1. Use browser addons for security, privacy, browsing experience, etc.
2. Don't save your password on a plaintext on your computer, create and remember one good main password and let a password manager like KeePassX that has autocomplete generate the rest.
3. Buy a router compatible with OpenWrt and install OpenWrt.

i think we should stay away from browser stuff unless we plan to rewrite what is in the wiki. i like you router idea maybe we could create a guide or gather other guides for making a router. i am currently in the process of doing so.

>>59015572
I am considering getting a smart watch but I find the need to recharge every day a hassle. Perhaps turning off GPS will help, that has been a power hungry function since forever.

First of all it has to look the part with functions (or "complications" as the term is)
- hands for hour, minutes and seconds
- window (or "aperture" if you prefer) for day and date
In addition, since it is digital and we are free to add to our preferences
- full triple date YYYY-MM-DD
- week number (used a lot here in Europe)
- GMT hand with noon up rather than midnight up - easier for sun tracking

>>59015572
Pebble got bought by Fitbit, so it didn't really fail so much as sell out.

Without Pebble I think we're going to start seeing an end to devices that were hacker-friendly at all. Also, in the case of the watches we'll see them increasingly marketed solely as fitness products instead of the lifestyle items they used to be.

Shit's fucked.

>>59016276
Trouble is when A buys B, A tend to kill B's portfolio, as happened here.

Then you have A buying B because of product P and after a while A loses interest. Google and Nest is a prime example, leaving many customers high and dry.

This is where open source can protect your investment.

BTW Google tends to lose a lot of interest in the strangest things in a manner as unpredictable as a teenage girl. I still miss Google Reader and iGoogle.

this was hilarious
they slapped a logo on an already obscure handset and made it dollar for dollar the same price as the itoy

Android has gone so far down the drain at this point that the move with the Pixel made me switch to the ishit. This is coming from a Nexus power user that has used the line since the 4.

They're all tracking devices. At least with iOS I get 4 years of sec updates unlike the 2 years promised on the Pixel.
I wonder when Google will get its shit together in terms of sec and offering a proper product.

I'll be honest, Mumble is and always was the best option for VoIP, but Discord became the standard through the "free as in free beer" nature of running a server and ease of setup combined with some sort of viral marketing.

Chatsubo is also based on a preexisting community that was Discord-based, so for the sake of continuity and not having to move everyone we just stuck with it.

aaathats3as.com is my favorite Mumble server if you're wondering.

Let's be honest with ourselves though. There's no fucking way this movie is going to go near the level of quality or cultural relevance of the original.

>>59021008
of course not. GitS was to some extent genre defining. I just hope it won't be a total disgrace to the genre

>>59020486
Fuchsia is based on a micro kernel written in C. There is noting new here, and no apparent reason to reinvent the wheel yet another round. There is HURD (kind of, it never really gets ready) there is however Minix 3.0 which works. Also L4 is there in many variations. Also the Plan 9 followup Inferno uses micro kernel and also virtual machine.

So why should Google do this again?=

At least Redox OS does one better by implementing this in Rust.

In summary: I think it will fail.

>>59020902
if you thing the aesthetic is they will fuck up i doubt it

>>59020788
>live action GitS?
It will be to the anime what Johnny Mnemonic the movie was to the original short story.
People who never knew of the original will like it, the rest will not.

To be fair, from the trailers the live action GitS doesn't look bad. I think it'll be a decent (perhaps even good) film in it's own right, it'll just bee a poor GitS film. I mean, they already appear to have changed Kusanagi's character/backstory and the aesthetic/atmosphere of the setting.

So yeah, pretty much this:
>>59021927
People unfamiliar with the franchise will like it. GitS fans won't but may still enjoy it as a film if you ignore the inevitable raping of the manga, original film and anime series.

I totally agree if your point is security (I've been known to crack a few WPA keys here and there), and I would never use it on mission-critical machines, if I had any.

Plus, the quote itself is from George Carlin's "Modern Man" bit. I just thought it sounded cool.

>>59023687
>SDR could double as wifi
Deep inside Snapdragons there is one Xtensa for Bluetooth and another for WIFI and both are in reality SDRs. Trouble is, it is extremely hard to obtain documentation for this.

Also unconfirmed rumours are that also the baseband is SDR, possibly based on old Sandbridge technology that was bought.

Also, what would the third item be used for (hardkernel pc with 4 SDR)? I've done a little research into SDRs just now and it seems it would be useful to pick up a variety of communication signals. But why 4?

I was just watching a video on that. I'd really only consider the benefit of that is keeping out a single malicious person from accessing your computer quickly.
Like if my crazy ex gf got to my computer terminal I wouldn't want her to be able to do anything with it, logging out and having the list script encrypted she probably wouldn't know the first place to start to try and unlock it instead of getting an easy login prompt even if she knew the commands and you can log out as fast as you can type, and it can fully encrypt even the tree if they try to list the file system so if they're not clever enough to know what gets listed in what order to sort out a pattern and start developing a key to read the gibberish they might just get confused enough to abandon even entering commands they know would work if it returns random garbage output instead of entering commands like username*password even though the return output of that would give a generic reply encoded that they could start to figure out a key to it comparing the generic text to whatever your encryption is spitting from the command not working.

Those bands reserved for astronomy are also under threat. Latest was - wait for it - iRobot who wants to use a reserved band for indoor RF stuff. Arguments were thin. Most likely real explanation is to make it impossible for others to make compatible spares since a license will be required.

Hey /cyb/. /pol/ here. Wait hear me out! I'm more "nu/pol/" even though I've been there for a while i'm not really into fascism. What I am into, however is crypto-republicanism and crypto-democracy. I specifically want your opinion on the idea of such a society. What do you think of the idea of replacing bureaucracy and a large part of personal identification with cryptography and blockchain technology? In general how do you think existing technology can be leveraged to improve systems of government?

>>59058432
A telescope on the Moon is in a stable position. A telescope in orbit will need careful orbital adjustments and you will need to be careful in determining exactly where the telescope is if you want to enjoy that long baseline.

Also stable orbits around the Moon are surprisingly limited but even so there will be orbital decay.

Finally there is hope to mine and fabricate most of what you need on the Moon so you can save the effort in launching gigantic structures in orbit.

>>59060583

First off, you're expecting the government, which is largely composed of stupid, reactionary individuals who only trust themselves and Israel, to implement anything more than a number change effectively, in a way that could affect a lot of people.
Second of all, I don't like the idea of something as nebulous and as far-reaching as Government relying on something as finicky as technology. I don't know what it is about the internet, but every time the government tries to implement something related to the internet that doesn't involve watching people fap, it sucks. So, you have a shitty thing that's in everybody's life, that's under the control of something that breaks everything it does related to the internet.

Of course, that's just USA. With that being said, you have the thought police lined up in the EU.

Don't get me wrong I think it'd be tits to be able to have working tech set up on the moon, but it's still going to get covered in moondust, if it has any adjustment gears and stuff the dust will get in it and seize it up. The dish itself that collects the wide range of radio waves is going to get covered with dirt and enough of it is going to block out signals. Not to mention take a look at all the impact craters on the moon, that sort of thing is going to kick up even more moondust to coat stuff. Tell the truth I don't even know what moondust is made out of element wise it could have ground down element/particles that disrupt radio also laced in it. Who's going to clean that stuff off the dish? People thought the moon landings were pointless waste of tax dollars and the russian just write it off as a propaganda trip since they lost the race even though it was more than worth doing I wish I would of started compiling a database of a lot of the tech and products spun off from space exploration and research because it's returned an insane amount compared to what was invested.

when something impacts an equal and opposite reaction happens which sends moondust flying

3If it has a motor system to rotate it gravity might be light enough from it shifting to move dirt around on it's own even if it's not the moving part in contact with it.

It's going to be pretty awesome when smart watches are made as smart bracelets like a pipboy or those pads from COD:BO2 instead of traditional looking watches that people don't like because it's too small and limited.

Those craters are from billions of years ago. It is not as if it is raining rocks from space. The late heavy bombardment is over, eons ago.

Kind of a /cyb/ question - If a location - be it a city, country, or planet - is full of artificial intelligence, is it still artificial intelligence or just intelligence? Thoughts? I feel a lot of cyberpunk literature discusses AI and human cohabitation questions, but what about a society of just AI?

>>59020956
I just did a quick look in there.
I am first-language English speaker and I did not comprehend a word in there, and I consider myself intelligent.

>>59072368

Sounds more like a philosophy question. I think it would still be classified as artificial intelligence, but it would also be classified as the norm.

Whereas non-synthetic intelligence would be "natural" but viewed as unusual.

>>59071120
bah! anarcho-capitalism ftw

>>59072368
if we create an artificial intelligence, which then begins to reproduce (by cloning or upgrading versions of itself), and it then takes over earth, eliminates every living thing on the planet then goes on an eons long quest to truly purge all intelligent life in the galaxy, and truly succeeds in its task and become ubiquitous, governing all that is and will be, then it doesnt matter for there is only the AI to know itself. And certainly it will know it is artificial.

if we just encountered a random planet and there's life there and its intelligent, then that's intelligence. if said life was wiped out or merged into a computer and all that remains are sentient computers/AI, its still and will forever be artificial. it was purposefully created by man/furries from outer space/tentacle rape monsters.

it never stops being artificial same as you can never stop being "natural".

ofc we "evolved" so we can be said to have been "created" by nature, which would make us artificial but such a distinction is pointless and semantics the likes of which philosophy teachers will masturbate over for aeons because they have no real job anymore.

for real people like engineers, we're natural, everything we make is artificial. the end

Well, what do you mean by crypto-republicanism and crypto-democracy? There is already secret aspects in most democracies in that the election is a secret ballot.

Also, strictly speaking bureaucracy means that you get your case handled on its merits based on rules that are the same for everyone. The massive inefficiencies that follow have their roots in incompetence and greed for power. So how do you believe cryptography and blockchain technology can fix this?

Personally I believe far greater transparency is the way to go, in that all cases and decisions are transparently handled and fully available to as many as possible. Privacy is steadily decreasing and the youngest seem to be the most exhibitionistic so there is probably little loss.

A problem is that better government relies on a better educated general population and I am not sure everyone finds that sufficiently interesting.

Any suggestions on getting a super safe/private portable device?

I was thinking something like phone/tablet that is secure from google's botnet / people republic of china's backdoors and such.

Basically, a device that can be used to access and store files on the go that's safe. Connectivity and ssh clients would be a plus.

My best option so far seems like a rootable android tablet that I could install debian on (not on top of android, but instead of it).

Did you see the Northpoint magnet implant?
Kind of considered it because damn its nice to think of something techy that won't track me for once FUCK

>>59077018
A very sensible answer. I too believe greater transparency is the way to go, or else we face what by definition is a cauldron of conspiracies.

>>59079103
The least unsafe solution is probably (gotta take all possible reservations here) is to start with an FPGA platform and bring up a soft CPU that can support a sufficiently adequate OS.


Windows, Linux, and BSD variants are probably all compromised and shot through with backdoors. That is where the focus is. Try something mildly obscure with a lesser attack surface
- L4S based OS including Linux (perhaps)
- 9front, plan9, inferno: interesting stuff. You can get 9front on ZYNQ.
- VAX/VMS on FPGA: is available, works and VAX/VMS has uptimes measured in years and solidity on a geological level.

Avoid windowing systems if possible: that is just another attack surface, a huge one. KDE? Avoid like the plague.

Realistically, this is probably the most correct idea.
Using hardware you FULLY understand more so.
No silly advanced features, no obfuscation and other nonsense.
Just straightforward processor with weird instruction set. At least if it is weird, it'd require someone to brute force it if they ever got in somehow.
Add a hardware ticker for invalid instructions and warn you if it ever goes over 1. Only valid reason for that is if you yourself fucked up when writing code.

Software, equally simple.
Complex software just overcomplicates things.
if you want to remain as unhackable as possible while online, better to be text browsing or extremely simple graphic browser with your own JS engine with most features disabled that can compromise security.

Media viewing?
Air-gapped machine that gets hardware re-imaged every session.
Software re-imaging can be interfered with.
Full boot to RAM from solid-state with the write line disabled / read-only mode enabled.
Storage drives mounted using your own driver, over ethernet.
Full tracer that runs on every file access, any change to any file is recorded. All software viewers are custom too, so they don't do stupid shit in the background when viewing files. (especially those shit programs that do stupid amounts of writes)

With this system, even if your networked computer got infected somehow, and transferred to media computer, the OS is write protected.
With the custom NAS drives, chances of accessing them? There'd be more chance of the sun exploding right now and you getting 15 blowjobs from a diamond ring.
More so if you have a stupidly long password on said session of the NAS on top of the weird driver.
Make it alert when there is any, ANY, access to the drives.
Apparently even NSA fucked that part up, hence the leaks. For security agencies, they sure are fucking lax on the security side of things. when's job?

>Automated government
It's always the same problem : who controls the (automated) bureaucracy ? Who can guaranty that vote (or whatever other system) will be secure, and not controlled by whatever bullshit NSA-like agency ?

All the system has to be open-source in some way, all the code must be available to everyone, everyone must be capable to verify what's going on.

Okay I would really like input on why a space gulag is a bad idea since I've been a vocal supporter of it in the past.
1off
escape is nearly impossible.
2 prisons are for reform. \
if people can't exist in society they get put into prison society, making prison society something that requires the inmates to adapt to in a technological manner which would over time make them evolve to do it
3 it pushes boundaries figuring out how to implement it benefiting other areas of space exploration and helping people survive in space

clearly tesla corp. is doing right in getting people into space, there have been a hundred years of air travel, and 60 years of space flight getting people up there is still a challenge. relying on one thing to do it all is freaking crazy and just slows down progress.

>>59084879
There is nothing bad in those reasons you stated.
Think of space gulag like a prison planet in riddick movie

>>59084667
there are articles about these things but mostly in niche publications. It is very visible in big pharma. Fearing the "patent cliff" they have done absolutely unbelievable things like conducting trials in slums with shall we say limited paper trails.

One side effect (no pun intended) is that patients have been exposed to new medicine which later turned out to be worse than what they replaced. Again this was due to tests that were less than good.

>>59086396
Are you implying secretive clinical trials that don't meet the minimal standards of someone legally being able to shoot you going on without trial subjects shooting you?

>>59084879
coast is the only thing

>>59086469
>Are you implying secretive clinical trials that don't meet the minimal standards
Yeah, I do. (not sure what the rest of that sentence means).

The potential upside is enormous and irresistible to someone who will not hesitate to bump off a few hundred in the slums of India, the preferred site for "tests".

The normal process is basically this: test on mice, rats, cats,. dogs, monkeys, etc and then finally humans *assuming* all goes well. If too many dogs die the process will be terminated and never be tested on humans.

We do however know that there are many things that will kill a dog but be harmless to humans (chocolate, onions and more). Clearly it is rather likely that trials terminated because some dogs died might, just possibly might be beneficial to humans. So what to do? Test in the slums, of course.

Trouble i,s the paper trail will be a problem. You will need to forge data showing dogs didn't die. and then fabricate data for monkeys etc and then re-do the human trials elsewhere. That process will take 5 years easily. So how to short circuit this?

Close down FDA. Cue lobbyists going against FDA. You can see it now.
