Welcome to zzz/tech/
Rules
0. All global rules apply: https://zzzchan.xyz/rules.html
1. /tech/ is a primarily SFW board. NSFW is only allowed if spoilered.
2. Keep the topics related to technology and computing.
3. When making a thread, put some effort into the OP. Low quality threads and template threads will be bumplocked. Some low quality threads that have already been bumplocked can be deleted if too much fills up the catalog.
4. For the QTDDTOT thread and the meta-thread, there can be only one unless the reply limit has been reached. If the previous thread is at the reply limit, anyone can recreate those threads. Thread quality rules do not apply to these threads.
5. Low quality shitposting will be met with DELetion or all files in the post being unlinked (frogposting, wojaks, >he doesn't use [insert thing here], Reddit logo spam, etc.). Otherwise, shitposting is allowed but try not to derail threads.

Posting recommendations
1. Try keeping most of your tech support questions, software recommendations, consumer advice, and other questions that don't deserve threads in the QTDDTOT thread. If there is a specific thread for your question, try asking there instead for a faster response.
2. Try not to ask questions that can be found on any search engines. You will most likely be told to search more and not receive an answer.

I think I have said it before, I am saying it again. You can either reroll on your INT or pick up another career. A few years ago, you can still pick up entry level positions without much skills. Now if you are not experienced or very well connected, you can kiss goodbye to any career prospect.
Case in point my place just cancelled raise and promotion for everyone. Despite me working my ass off for the entirety of my employment, with my manager telling me nobody is against my promotion just a week before.
In this market, you can't skill compete people, because nobody cares about your skills if you don't have experience. You can't resume compete people even more because lots of layoffs saturating entry level market with exFAGMANs.

My company just announced no raise and no promotion for everyone. I have been working my ass off for the past year well exceeding what a level 1 engineer should do. My team is stuck at dealing with a piece of crap where everybody who worked on it either quit or moved to another team. My manager told me nobody opposed to my promotion before this dropped. Ever since I have been applying left and right. ZERO positive response.

If I have some torrents seeding, all with a ratio higher than 1 and with seeders other than me, and I HAVE to stop seeding one of them, how do I decide which to stop seeding (as in ultimately being more beneficial for other people)? The one that has the highest ratio, or the lowest ratio, or the highest amount of seeders, or the lowest amount of leeches?

Ratio means how much you have helped in the past, it shouldn't factor in a decision for the future. It's the ratio between seeders/leeches that matters. If there are tons of seeders and not many leeches, you are not helping much. If you are the only seeder among a million leeches, you are their savior.

IIRC you can't truly wipe an SSD because of wear leveling but you can issue secure erase commands which in theory will make the data unrecoverable:

On HDDs you can use CLI tools like shred to do multiple overwrite passes before issuing secure erase.

It's too late to be sure you'll wipe all traces on the SSD. Those things basically need full disk encryption.

Alright, thank you for the advice. Wonder if the technicians will care enough to check if I used a keyserver to license Win11 after wiping the drive or if it's even worth the trouble to do that. Maybe I should just soak the drive in water or run a magnet over it.

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

>Meanwhile in reality gobberment/corporations would be issuing free IDs to their own official bots while everyone else get their balls firmly grasped by them.
Using public/private keys and web of trust would work though. You don't even have to give up anonymity because with zero knowledge proofs you can confirm that somebody has a minimum level of trust or a member of a trusted group without knowing who they are. And as long as it is a distributed network the values can't be fucked with either.
On the clearnet there is very little that can be done and it will only get worse.
Small, personally curated networks of associates is the way forward.

You should learn basic dc circuitry while diving into arduino stuff. Grab yourself a basic learning/breadboard kit and actually breadboard out something before soldering it. Doesn't need to involve a microcontroller, just enough to learn to read basic circuit diagrams and follow them. You don't need any fancy tools, just get a cheap multimeter and soldering iron (with some desolder braid, very important). "Getting started with electronics" by Forrest M Mimms is a great starting book too, has a lot of illustrations that make learning concepts easy.

No it does not. At the heart of this issue lies megabytes of autoplaying videos, tracking scripts, and massive JS abominations.

There's also the whole stack's inefficiency. At least one round trip for DNS (could be more with e.g. CNAME records or DoT), another for TCP, 2 more for TLS, at least one other for the HTTP request (could have redirects), and then the page itself links other domains elsewhere with parts of the page and it has to start all over, and the browser sends several HTTP requests to the same server because HTTP can't handle multiple files in parallel or batch small files (which means it spends significant amounts of time between finishing a small file download and requesting the next doing nothing), etc.

And that's forgetting that browsers are all several orders of magnitude slower and bigger than they have to be.
>>13282
No, progressive decoding does play a significant part. Like it or not.
Especially on imageboard servers which are sometimes pretty slow.
Webp and AVIF can't decode progressively. If the image is 5 MB, you have to download it all and decode it all before you get to see anything.
