Lately I've been interested in looking for a final solution to the imageboard problem, deplatforming and relying on centralized authorities for hosting. P2P through TOR seems like the most logical path forward. But the software would also need to be accessible, easily installed and understood by just about anyone, and easily secure/private by default.

Retroshare seemed like a decent choice, but unfortunately its forum function is significantly lacking in features. I haven't investigate too much into zeronet either but from what I recall that was a very bloated piece of software and I'm looking for something that's light and simple. Then there's BitChan (>>507) which fits most of the bill but contrasted with Retroshare is not simple to setup.

I know there is essentially nothing else out there so this thread isn't necessarily asking to be spoonfed some unknown piece of software that went under the radar of anons. But I think the concept of P2P imageboards should be further explored even though the failure of zeronet soured a lot of peoples perspective on the concept. Imageboards are so simple by nature I feel this shouldn't be as difficult as it is. Retroshare comes close but as I understand it you can't really moderate the forums that you create. Plus the media integration is basically non-existent, though media is a lesser concern. But having everything routed through tor and being able to mail, message, and ha

On top of that, it is perfectly possible to embed images (and other files) into usenet files, so you could even make an imageboard that has a usenet server as its backed, and a frontend that looks like any other imageboard. You'd still need a permanent IP so that people can connect to it, but people could just run their own instances and share netnews via NNTPS. Or you could tunnel them via whatever fancy darknet solution you prefer. There's an example of a forum that is just a frontend for a usenet server:

My friends made an app. It's very cool. Imagine a youtube-like interface except you fetch videos and data from different sources and people write plugins for each source. As a result, a creator can switch from e.g. Youtube to Odysee to whatever else is the best without losing their audience. There's also decentralized comments and thumbs upping and downing

We are destroying Youtube's network effect. They are fucked.

This is a project I've been planning on doing for a long time: a cross-platform and open source image editor that completely supersedes MS Paint and all it's cheap imitators (for digital images, so no printing features). I want to hear thoughts and ideas.

The objective is to take MS Paint and polish an even better version out of it: minimalistic, extremely light weight and fast, and very easy to use. Everything should take as few clicks as possible and to just work, the feature set is intentionally limited and designed to work well even without transparency or layers. For example the brushes should all be pixelated (reasons in the attached webms), I think it was a mistake on Microsoft's part to switch to the soft brush as a default. Maybe advanced brushes can be added as a side feature, but I feel like they just don't belong into MS Paint and nobody uses them for any real purpose.

Do you see any problems from the mockup? Have other ideas or things that should be added/changed? How would (You) improve MS Paint? Does some other image editor have a feature that you like?

I think MS paint is the wrong tool for creating game assets to begin with, there's just a lot of features missing to make it practical for art creation. It's more for quick edits, cropping images, mockups, tests, simple fun drawings, a blackboard to scribble onto...

It's not like there aren't 800 other free art programs you can use to follow your rotoscoping dreams. All of them are kind of shitty in their own ways, but still.

removing boomers from the internet would solve all its problems

on the turn of the century we all used the internet as teens. we all had msn and icq, maybe irc. we all knew how to browse and make websites. run emulators, download music. use forums. download pr0n. say niggerfaggot. play video games. maybe write code

we knew not to follow advice from the internet. not to run random .exes. we were 10-14.

then the boomers came, around 2010. before that they didnt even know what the internet let alone a computer is. they saw that teens are using the internet

A couple things to note about that. In comparison to the US, in the EU both road and rail are wholly overshadowed for share of cargo ton-miles by the inherent geography of deep seacoast penetration and crisscrossing inland waterways that the more  US lacks:

Also, while pickups/SUVs are less popular in Europe than the US, they are also less necessary. Cars (sedans, coupés, hatchbacks, stationwagons, etc.) overwhelmingly favoring manual trannies in the European market are rated comparably to a light truck or better in terms of towing capacity, whereas in the US this feature went extinct (due to regional differences of both mechanical and regulatory nature) in the 1980s, just in time for the burgerlard pickup/SUV conspiracy:

How do i build ratio on private trackers in a  good way? For example torrentleech. I tried seeding new torrents but lets say something just got uploaded then theres like 50 people with seedboxes that autosnatch the torrent and i cant compete with seedbox speeds. Lets say i dl a 20gb file. Then i'll at most get a few gb upload but then its done. Next to no one seems to leech on there so you have to seed the file for 10 days which is something i cant do at the time.
That brings me to my second question.
I want to get more storage. Im pretty computer illiterate but would getting a nas and putting some ssds in it be better than putting some ssds in my pc? For seeding ofcourse. And what about raid. Should i even bother with setting that up? When i think about nas i think about vulnerabilities because its connected to the internet but with a nas i wouldnt have to keep my computer on at all times. I have port forwarding on the vpn i use so seeding should work fine in the first place. It's just that i don't seem to have the storage or time to do it in the first place but thats something i want to change. In the first place i think 10 days is very strict. A 1080p remux can be between 20-40gb and mind you thats only ONE movie. I watch alot of movies so my drive would be filled to the brim before 10 days to even get the first movie to be watched.

How does /tech/ feel about tablets in general? I find that they failed to become the laptop replacements many thought they'd become back then, mainly due to their OS, which is funny looking back as Windows 8 ruined a lot of Microsoft's reputation because they were certain that iPads would be the end of them... however they're still good at being what Steve Jobs introduced them as, something between the computer and smartphone, that's worse than both in general, but better than all other devices in a few specific things, justifying their purpose to be.

I personally love mine as its replaced my laptop for most things, due to my usecase allowing for it, but it's also the best device I have for a lot of things, like digital art, reading comic books and manga, books and document reading in general, and media consumption, it's great.

The good part about Android is anything will let you root it with enough fussing and it's always designed to allow that. The bad part about Android is the ease with which rooting can be done varies ENORMOUSLY, so if you're the one picking it's a very good idea to shop ahead and pick the most cooperative device.

Same for other stuff like long term OS updates, and 3rd-party distro/driver support.

>the web has no practical purpose to begin with
To be fair, back in the early 90s it must have seemed like a great idea to give the writer of the document the power to specify the colour of the background and the ability to embed some pictures into the text. But as those horrible late 90s webpages showed, it only really gave people the power to waste bandwidth with unnecessary clutter. And by the 2000s it became obvious that you could also use it to track people and to build ever more centralized systems.

And in hindsight, the very idea that someone else should decide for you the exact appearance of a hypertext document is flawed. How could some random faggot know better my preferred colour scheme and font than I do? Not to mention that I like it when I can both read text and stare at fat 2D tits at the same time, which is not a feature supported by the average website. At least by now many websites have both a light and a dark colour scheme, but it's not standard, and many of those themes are quite horrible. Not to mention that websites have to support a practically infinite variety of resolution and aspect ratios, so the more elaborate and specific a website's design the less likely that it'll work as intended.

The conversations I've had on imageboards are far more real and of value than anything I've gotten from real people. Also, as this is not a giant website like halfcuck, it's more of a pond. Pissing into a koi pond would kill the fish/userbase. This makes us koi rather than sharks. Fake plastic robot fish would be better than real koi as you'd not have to worry about harming the fish. Real or fake I do not want a pet  shark. I keep waiting for people to make realistic fake pets and they won't do it on a serious level to the point like you see in the original Battlestar Gallactica and such, though that thing was smarter than it needed to be for a pet.
