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

That can't be true. The average car has heating and air conditioning, which the average yuropoor has not yet figured out the mystery of despite decades of dying from lack of both.

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:
https://theicct.org/toward-a-greener-global-freight-transportation-system-oct25/
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:

Post your favourite wallpapers and wallpaper sources.  Pics related are a few of what I've been using; screenshots from a dead game called Blacklight: Retribution.  I never played it myself but it had some neat visuals.

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. I was expecting it to go bad that entire time, but never mind.

I'd previously assumed that Electron-esque garbage like Snap and Flatpak were just a fad confined to lazy commercial software, but along with a slow general decline in community packager activity, I've recently noticed more and more dev projects like GIMP and Handbrake abandoning official Linux builds for distro-native package formats. Reading a bit about it, the underlying tools and standards for packaging appear to be in general decay, and I was surprised to see some distros like Ubuntu and Fedora making noises about completely abandoning their package managers at some (usually vague) point in the future!

Throughout the span of modern Linux distros, before the need to resort to manually installing every single version of a piece of software, as an alternative to waiting for the distro's repo to update from (sometimes painfully outdated) stable versions, there were pretty much always builds of whatever available from either the developers themselves or some helpful person's PPA. Without that, Linux will become much less convenient to use at best, far more bloated and broken at worst.

It has been suggested by some, such as this article:
https://ludocode.com/blog/flatpak-is-not-the-future
that the main problem which allowed such moronic software to gain momentum (aside from security flimflam exaggerating its sandbox capabilities) was Linux's not

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but imagemagick got some pretty bad CVEs recently, including one where a maliciously crafted .bmp could do arbitrary code execution whenever imagemagick tried to decode it. funnily enough, if you use git blame on the code that was responsible for the vulnerability, it was from a "claude assisted" commit (imagemagick has recently implemented an ai-tolerant policy)

Considerations:
-is the format simple, efficient, small?
-is it open source, free, or at least without patents or some other shit
-is it supported by large amount of software? for import and export
-is it malware? has hidden metadata and other shit? complex and proprietary?

Eh. You don't need that to read non-code text unless you have severe forms of ADHD (which, ironically, are so severe and crippling that normalfags usually don't recognise these cases as ADHD), and especially not when you're reading text on a physical page.
>links
Hyperlinks actively harm reading comprehension by triggering brief focus breaks every time your brain quickly evaluates whether to follow the link or not.
>figures

>HTML/PDF export
That's your main actual disadvantage.
>multitasking
Objectively less productive than focused work thanks to the overhead of mental context switching. It's another thing if you're interleaving bouts of focused work with short breaks and focused work on other things, as this'll help you work on problems in the back of your mind and assist with knowledge transfer, but if you're quickly jumping from one thing to another on your computer, the lost focus will ultimately mean you waste more time and depth of insight than you gain.

Markdown is the best for visualization, can edit anywhere and it's just a text file.
I really like Obsidian and similar apps, mostly because they are just text but you can sync, add images, etc.
The one I liked most is Anytype. Just wish it was a bit more generous with free storage, 100MB is like e-mail in the 00s.

If you really really want something fancy and fully custom just use html, it's what everyone uses and will be using for decades.
Works for mobile too. If you want it you can add fonts, Javascript, CSS and whatever you need, even server connection and APIs.
Cons - have to program and host your schizophrenic dreams on it, wasting time.

Secure Scuttlebutt is the answer to unfucking the internet. Nobody knows about it because it's a ten year old JavaShit frankenstein made by europeans who got cold feet and abandoned it when they realised they were creating a free speech weapon.

But the mechanism of how SSB functions is very very strong. We need to bring SSB back to life and use it to build a bullet proof network now that the internet is having its throat cut.

SSB is an HTTP-equivalent protocol that has been redesigned and reimplemented here in about 1000 lines of python. If you don't like python, good news: you can reimplement it in your favorite trans or retarded language of choice with little effort.

http://lfxii7ummavpv4da4o4m6fydbrxns5q3lrp2u7qzuexzdkko7sw32aqd.onion/

Nostr and at proto were both created as shitty corpo versions of the original ssb protocol. SSB is not an alternative to them, it is their originator, and it's better because it isn't designed to be broken on purpose.

In its current state it needs hackers and application developers. If that is not you, ok. It is fully functional as a social network on the command line only. It turns out application development fucking sucks. But on the CLI it does chat, messaging and posting, and file sharing.
