Title gives my conclusion from empirical events I witnessed and inside info. PSP runs on the same circuit, but isn't the backdoor per se, which has been around for much longer.

The same way AMD was able to change the crypto algorithms for the Zen chip they licensed to China, they can change how the CPU behaves at any system, even those already deployed. This can also be used to sabotage any program or computation, making BadBIOS vastly nastier than Stuxnet.

American military made a grave mistake to partner with the morons of the Brazilian military, who are letting knowledge of this spread like a fire (and misusing it for petty profit and inside jobs to justify a police state). Israel, UK and France also have access, but are much more professional.

Dunno if OP is correct about his leak but it's pretty much a known fact you cannot trust modern AMD or Intel chipsets (would not be surprised if the same goes for those Mac M-series CPUs). On the upside of things you can use ARMs or ancient processors just fine and so long as you can run a modern graphics card you shouldn't really experience much bottlenecks. The issue with be running modern RAM alongside old CPUs. You'd practically have to make your own motherboard if you want that best-of-both-worlds situation. You can use ARMs of course, but then you're limited to shit that runs natively on ARM... unless you just make it into an x86-64 virtual machine with GPU passthrough. Your CPU speed will be shit in the virtual machine, but still fast enough for ordinary purposes and the GPU should work great while you use DDR5 RAM so all told it's a working option.

About using old ARM socs.
The CPU is a massive bottleneck. But not as big as memory. Virtually all ARM boards you can buy are socs, that means there is no replaceable memory. The gpu on those machines don't have much acceleration capabilities. It drops frames playing 1080p vp8.
It struggles so much even when running natively, and you suggest running a vm?
Get any arm board and see for yourself. They are pretty cheap.

The point is using new ARM for at least DDR4. If you want oldschool just use the AMD FX 9590 which has no PSP and use DDR3 RAM.
>>16043
making your own motherboard is not sufficient to use ddr5 if your cpu only supports ddr4, unless speed is of no concern to you.  even then, it might not be sufficient.  the memory controller is located on the cpu itself, and will not support ddr5 speeds.

The modern internet is absolute cancer, so here's some old-school alternatives to some of the major aspects of the modern web. If you have any others you'd like to mention and discuss, feel free.

Instead of social media and forums, try using Usenet and BBSes. There exists many a BBS to choose from, and you can even create your own. Usenet newsgroups exist for many, many topics, and if you wanna create one (ideally based on a topic with some decent amount of appeal), you can even present your idea to the folks at alt.config and they *may* create a newsgroup for you.

Instead of blogging on sites like Tumblr, Myspace, and all those sites with period blood smeared all over them, try running a Gopherspace. It's text-only and uncluttered, and there's no JavaShit to bog down the experience.

Instead of GitHub, host all your code on an FTP site. And instead of posting videos to JewTube, you can make the videos downloadable on that same FTP site, along with anything else you wanna offer up.

Finally, instead of insecure messaging applications, use encrypted email.

What's wrong with encrypted email?
Replies: >>17976
>>17974
Current email protocols were designed in the 1960s, where the size of a "byte" was still undetermined and the only thing you could count on was every computer being able to output and parse English characters, so all the protocols are in plaintext. Security and encryption also wasn't a consideration at all in the original protocol.

Since then a bunch of extensions have been added on top of those mail protocols, all of which are horrible because mail servers can and will mangle plaintext, requiring more hacks to be resistant to mangling (take a look at DKIM "relaxed" canonicalization for example).

For encryption to be secure and private, you should:
- encrypt the message body, which is relatively trivial
- encrypt the subject, which probably isn't too hard
- encrypt the sender and recipient, which probably isn't feasible
- encrypt other metadata in the headers, which you can forget about
And that's just implementation. How do you ensure that encryption actually works? Even if your setup is perfect your contacts can still fumble it and end up leaking a whole conversation anyway.

If you want encryption to be effective, it needs to be always on at all times. Allowing non-encrypted modes carries too much risk. Email was never designed to be encrypted and it is very hard to make it airtight. A message protocol designed to use encryption always and everywhere from the get-g

This is the draft of a research paper from 2006 that explores a common problem encountered by programming teachers: there appears to be two very distinct groups of people, those who can into programming and those who absolutely cannot.

ADHD zoomers need not worry. This paper only has 21 pages, 2.5 of which are references, and it is rather amusing instead of dry and boring. I will still write some highlights that I think are important for the conclusion I will draw at the end.


Sections 1 and 2 lay some context and previous work related to this issue:

>most people can’t learn to program: between 30% and 60% of every university computer science department’s intake fail the first programming course. Experienced teachers are weary but never oblivious of this fact; bright-eyed beginners who believe that the old ones must have been doing it wrong learn the truth from bitter experience

>A study undertaken by nine institutions in six countries [22] looked at the programming skills of university computer science students at the end of their first year of study. All the participants were shocked by the results, which showed that at the conclusion of their introductory courses many students still did not know how to program.

>In [5] the same authors put forward evidence to support the startling theory that prior knowledge of one programming language has a negative impact on novices’ attempts to program in a second language. Soloway and Spohrer [28] looked at novices’ backgrounds, and opined that skill in natural language seemed to have a great deal of impact on their conceptions and misconceptions of programming.

>Many of their subjects tried to use meaningful names for their variables, apparently hoping that the machine would be able to read and understand those names and so perceive their intentions.

You're retarded.
Internal verbalization is the inevitable internalization of rubber duck debugging.
The process of internal verbalization allows the practitioner to route concepts and ideas through alternate sections of the brain, which allows them to get outside of their normal train of thought.
The basis and benefits of internal verbalization are no different than internal visualization.

People who cannot program have feminized minds.
Feminized minds cannot chain logic; therefore, to the feminized mind anything that is not immediately obvious is a leap of logic.

I am retarded, of course, but I can recall that I was unable to make any sense of any of it until I had this insight:  a computer is a machine that executes instructions in exact sequence, exactly as you write them.  I taught myself BASIC on an old, old 8-bit micro and got into the mental habit of thinking of line numbers as being analogous to sequential memory locations and visualizing the instruction pointer going down line by line.

This allowed me to grasp and learn structured programming.  OOP confuses me badly.  I tried to take a course years back.  The instructor was a very enthusiastic young fellow who began by yelling "Everything is an object and objects are everything!  A dog is an object!  A potato is an object!"  As far as I can tell "objects" are little blobs of code containing both instructions and data, sort of like subroutines except for being ugly and inelegant and wasteful of RAM and clock cycles.  I still don't grasp how one object calls another object or communicates with it.  I have decided that my BRANE is too small and smooth for this and took up digital art instead.
Replies: >>17917
>>17890
There's OOP and there's a whole bunch of other features that get associated with OOP but aren't really necessary, as well as implementation details that may confusing if you just want to grasp the concept.

IMO the simplest model is: an object is something that can perform actions in response to messages it receives.

Example: your computer is connected with the zzzchan server. It can send a message to request a page, to submit a post ... Your computer and the server are objects.
Your computer consists of a CPU, RAM, storage drives ... If your CPU wants to read memory, it sends a message to the memory controller. Likewise, if it wants to read from a hard disk it sends a message to the disk controller. Objects are composed of other objects.

Note that a lot of communication involves a request followed by a reply. Incidentally this maps very cleanly to call/return, so message passing can easily be implemented as method calls.

Other features like inheritance, interfaces ... may be useful but are not essential to model something as OO. OO is very general.

>Van Someren looked at novices learning Prolog [29]. He came to the conclusion that those who were successful had a mechanical understanding of the way that the language implementation – the Prolog virtual machine – worked.
>Mayer expressed the opinion that the formal nature of programming (he called it syntactic knowledge) is the difficult bit [20]. He believed that experts were able to think semantically.
>Thomas Green put forward the notion of cognitive dimensions to characterise programming languages and programming problems [12]. Like Detienne in [11], he rejects the notion that programming languages can be ‘natural’: they are necessarily artificial, formal and meaningless.
Couldn't you solve this through an education program built around the classical trivium? It attempts to teach semantic thinking and improve overall knowledge transfer through the study of a specific grammar (that of a particular language such as English or Latin) and general grammar, Aristotelian logic (which transfers over to writing and speech more easily than symbolic logic), and rhetoric.

I have a lot of books and documents I want to read but I would prefer to do so on a device that doesn't emit bright light all the time and is portable as well.

An e-reader seems like the best option, but I know little about them and I have a hard time figuring out what to get. My requirements are:
- FOSS operating system, as I want to possess full control over my devices.
- Good durability (/price). This is my biggest concern. From what I understand the cells can only be toggled a limited amount of times. I don't intend to watch anything animated on it but I can see myself burning through quickly if flipping through a lot of pages.
- Ideally a touchscreen + pen, though I can live without it.

I'm also considering rigging one together myself, but finding a screen of appreciable size is hard and the few I do find cost as much as a whole e-reader.

I've hacked something together that's good enough for now. I can go forward with a single press and back with double press (I keep long press reserved for other functionality). Going back is a bit awkward though, since waking from deep sleep is slow and you need to time the presses properly for it to register (I'd say ~1/3s press, ~1/3 release then 1/3 press again).
The documentation is atrocious. They seem to have nuked their previous documentation and replaced it with something that's blatantly incomplete. I wouldn't be surprised if it's partially "AI" generated. Their own README's have a bunch of links that are dead. e.g.:
>We support peripheral mode over UART! The commands are listed here [dead link]
Amazing...

The examples are better, though still nonsensical in a lot of places. e.g. the example that loads from HTTP manually does a lot of manual work, including pointless double buffering on the stack, while making no mention they provide a downloadFile function.
You need to be careful with having both WiFi turned on and drawing to the display. It seems a brownout occurs and the MCU resets because both the display and the WiFi slurp a lot of power. Digging through the provided library I see that WiFi gets taken out of sleep at the start downloadFile, then back to sleep if it was (and not if it wasn't). I just put the WiFi immediately to sleep right after connecting which is stupid but an easy hack.

Loading PNG images is very slow. I first thought something was wrong with their HTTPClient since I could see the request in the log, yet needed to wait multiple seconds for the image to appear. However, it takes multiple seconds to load an image from SD card too. Poorly optimized PNG decoder I guess?
FWIW I found that with 3-bit grayscale PNG compresses significantly better than JPEG. Yet, most images hover around 200KiB, while  1200*825*3/8=371250 bytes if you were to use raw bits to store the image. It probably makes sense to use a custom format with lightweight compression on top.

In any case, here's the code I cobbled together. I plan to make something more advanced, where the Inkplate is basically a dumb terminal for my desktop PC, but I'm not going to use arduino-cli for it since I find Arduino wrappers to be shit. Too bad the Inkplate library is specifically designed for "Arduino IDE". By the way, I did find e-reader software https://github.com/turgu1/EPub-InkPlate but I don't seem able to convert from PDF to EPUB properly, hence why I just convert to images and display that. For now this suffices.

(python3 -m http.server is pretty useful)

>ESP32-D0WD-V3 or ESP32-D0WDR2-V3 embedded, Xtensa dual-core 32-bit LX6 microprocessor, up to 240 MHz
... which should still be pretty fast. The Inkplate library uses pngle https://github.com/SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-Arduino-library/tree/master/src/libs/pngle which is optimized for MCUs with little memory. Probably not the best choice for an ESP32 which does actually have a lot of memory.

In a related phenomenon, GPT-4 required all the English-language content on the entire Internet, including gorillions of terabytes of digitized books and auto-translated content from other languages.  GPT-5 requires four to five more orders of magnitude of training material than actually exist, so the researchers have hit upon the brilliant strategy of having it write its own training data, in a never-ending digital Ouroboros of bullshit.  Sending the output of the sausage machine back into the grinder will surely create more sausage than existed before, and surely nothing can go wrong, amirite guise?  Amirite?

[Searching]
You should use a metasearch engine. Not only are they better for your privacy, but I've observed better results than single engines like DDG or Yandex.
https://searx.space/
Bookmark 3-4 reliable instances at the top of your browser and rotate between them or use an add-on such as LibRedirect.

Hacker News has lots of developers and skilled people posting on it. If there's a particular project/idea you're interested in its worth looking it up with their search engine.

Linux is depressing and makes you stupid. Kids would be better off with a simple 8-bit computer that boots to ROM BASIC.

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.
