Yeah. Well I made a seperate package.unmask file for ncurses. 
With the suggested safety measure to disable all other packages in the repo, I also had to unmask these dependencies in a package.unmask file: games-util/steam-meta
games-util/steam-launcher
games-util/steam-client-meta
games-util/game-device-udev-rules
and likewise accept the ~amd64 keyword for them in package.accept_keywords:   GNU nano 7.2                                       steam

Just searched for random videos about gentoo on jewtube and on the top were of course your typical anime hipster faggots and that 4chan nigger with his obnoxious wojack thumbnails who lately pops up in my recommendations.
Makes me really self reflect on what an autistic hipster faggot I am and I'm seriously considering uninstalling gentoo again.

Seriosly I'll put a blacklist in my router tomorrow and rid myself all that jewtube crap etc.

You are in serious need of self reflection alright.

I'm running Linux Mint on a wifi connection and at what seems to be a little over every 60 seconds my connection speed drops to zero for a brief time, killing any DLs ongoing and causing "ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED" errors in browser if I happen to be opening a new page at the time. The connection stays connected (video streaming will keep going). This error does not effect any other machine in my house, it happens across two USB wireless adapters (which use different drivers. One BrosTrend the other Panda Wireless) on the same machine but not when the same machine is using a phone tethering. Any idea what's going on?

Try disabling IPv6 in network manager. You can edit it by clicking on the nm-applet control panel and selecting "edit connections".
Maybe try the other suggestions from this article:
https://itsfoss.com/network-change-detected/
took me like a 10sec google search.

The other suggestion is to disable IPv6 via a kernel parameter. Maybe that's the better method. 
But try doing it via nm-applet first.

>>10126
Thanks. Seems to have worked. I constantly hear PulseAudio is a trashfire, which explains why its defaults were so retarded (assuming everything is a laptop and shut down soundplay after a few seconds of inactivity) and needed to be manually edited. Why is basic internet functionality such an issue?

>>10119
It's true that some dorks install Gentoo just to get nerd creds. They probably don't even select any USE flags themselves, they just copy+paste the Wiki and blindly copy everything. There are really some valid reasons why Gentoo is such a great distro, for example, you can disable stuff to remove some bloat (or stuff you don't need or even want) and you can easily apply custom patches or you can have a Linux system where most programs are statically linked (if you want to). And the USE flags and Portage automates most stuff. I'm not aware of any other distro or OS that allows these and that is as convenient as Gentoo/Portage (if you don't count Funtoo, but I have tried both and Gentoo > Funtoo).

>>10125
>>10130
>recommend me good VPS providers
The only good one is Mullvad.

>>10127
>Maybe that's the better method. 
It is, if you don't need IPv6. Just add ipv6.disable=1 to your Linux kernel cmdline parameters (in /etc/default/grub).

>>10133
>There are really some valid reasons why Gentoo is such a great distro
The main thing that made gentoo good was the hardened project. But now grsec is private and all the toolchain hardening has been upstreamed to gcc. Learning is the only other good reason to use gentoo, if you want to get into tech as a profession then learning the ins and outs of essentially rolling your own distro will teach you a lot. Hacking on your own ebuilds in an overlay will also teach you about how different software projects are built and distributed if you are interested in software development.

>>10133
>Mullvad
VPS, not VPN. I want to host my own matrix instance and maybe create my own open vpn server.

>>10130
>VPS
The only one I can somewhat recommend is BuyVM. I think smuglo.li is still running on that, as long you don't host anything blatantly illegal they don't really care.
The uptime is not the best, though, and they're constantly out of stock, Buyvm stock notifier is your friend.

>>10133
Some reflections on my experience thus far:
I think I already learned a lot I wouln't have learned on other distros. 
It certainly teaches patience and reading up on things yourself, although anons here also have been a great help.
 I certainly am not afraid of making my own custom kernels anymore after setting up the manual kernel from scratch.
Another useful aspect is I had some problems with my hardware on Arch and those are now gone,  now that I have individually selected every firmware component and kernel option needed.

I try to keep useflags to a minimum.

The control over licenses is also very useful and the ability to make exceptions for individual packages.
The eselect repos are more secure over the AUR and give me a sense of better security, that I can strictly discriminate what I want to have from those repos.

As far as I'm concerned another great feature of portage is that it can install several versions of the same package, avoiding a lot of dependency conflicts.

Overall I'm happy that I can finally maxx out my hardware and it is a pleasure to see how quickly packages are compiling my Ryzen 3600. Librewolf took under half an hour.

I guess its mostly placebo, also because I haven't used this PC in a long time, but everything feels much cleaner and incredibly snappy. Programs open in a matter of uSeconds.
I guess it would be more noticable on slower systems. 
I've seen some fag install gentoo on a 486 and running programs including a web browser on X. Might try that on my K6.
Though ofc. with the downside that compiling is a pain on such slow systems. 
Maybe there's a way to have another PC compile the packages.

Its always important to keep notes. With those portage quirks now obvious to me I think I could install, I think I could install a full system in a matter of hours.

>>10136
A friend recommended me ITLDC. He made several OpenVPN servers with that.
Any experience with it?
>BuyVM 
Prices are better than on ITLDC, though if I get uptime as a downside, I don't really think it's worth it - at least for my matrix project.

I will definetely consider making a VPN server with that. The cheapest option having unlimited bandwith is unbeatable as far as I'm concerned.
That would far outdo anything Mullvad could provide, right?

Sucks that BuyVM only has Luxemburg as european location. Will they care if I download my pirated movies whatever?

The cheapeat option is out of stock. Of course it is

>>10138
>unlimited bandwith
That's actually bullshit, you get something 25Mbit/s per GB of ram, except burstable. So yeah, bandwidth is unlimited, speed is not.
>>10139
>Will they care if I download my pirated movies whatever?
I regularly use my VPSes as proxy to download from crappy file sharing sites, nobody cares about that. Not sure about torrent though.
And yeah, Luxemburg is usually out of stock, since that's the only DMCA-free region.
>>10140
Try 8 - 10 AM PST, especially on 1st and 7th day of the month, that's when they process most of the cancellations.

On the other provider you have a bandwith limit of 2tb.

How can I auto decrypt multiple drives upon bootup on Gentoo OpenRC?
Just putting the additional drive in my crypttab doesn't work.

It works creating a script in /etc/local.d but it will get decrypted AFTER fstab tries to mount the partitions and also I would like to think there should be a much cleaner, elegant solution.

Ok, it's called dmcrypt on OpenRC.
Weird that crypttab did work in conjunction with dracut using the auto root decrypt on my full disk encrypted system

>>10094
>3.89
Sorry for the late reply, what I was trying to say is that your dependencies in emerge is not able select which NSS version. Something is pulling NSS 3.79.4 in your current system, but the available version requested by librewolf is 3.89 and it doesn't know which to choose (likely because you are using an overlay). 99% of the time you can fix this by just upgrading to the latest version.
Try passing this:
emerge --ask --oneshot =dev-libs/nss-3.89
and emerge librewolf again.

I have been thinking about getting a drawing tablet so I could get rid of the endless amounts of paper I print out and have no place to store. I'm not an artist, so I don't need a high end one, but searching the internets for things like these become more tiring every day with the insane amount of paid shills, plus the insane amount of retards using linux these days, so I'd like to ask you anons if any of you have any experience with them. What I'd like:
>hdmi + usb, connect to computer as a secondary screen
>pen + touch screen (so I can even use it without the pen if I don't have to draw)
>linux support
And by linux support, I mean normal support, not that binary garbage (aka botnet) some chink tablets have. Also preferably without OpenTabletDriver (who the fuck though writing driver a in .net is a good idea? And it also requires gtk3. Why does a driver need a gui, it's supposed to be just a config file with some variables, only retarded windows niggers have these preconception of every fucking thing needing a fucking gui for no fucking reason. And if you decide to write a fucking gui at least don't use the fucking worst widget toolkit in the whole fucking universe for fucks sake).
Nice to have:

>1920x1200 resolution (fat chance)
>doesn't break the bank

I didn't get a single kernel panic on my fully manual gentoo install

I don't know. If you want strong linux support, wacom has the best chances. As usual, search the model up before buying to make sure it works.
The only thing that comes close are recent 2-in-1s with a stylus enabled screen. For example a second-hand surface.

Oh WHAT THE FUCK

Everytime I run the system for an extended amount of time and then change something about the screen configuration, the whole system becomes completely unresponsive for a minute or longer. 
If I can remember correctly, in the past it sometimes locked up completely, leading to a reboot.

>>10177
You have an rx 380  with Gentoo right? Try setting in kernel or boot args for dpm to be 1 or 0, it's a bit fucked since they set it one way and then inverted the choice.
Also, kernel version, your graphics settings, and is your AMD GPU drivers built into the kernel?

>>10180
Yes, it's r9 380x

AMDGPU is built as module. I'll build it directly into the kernel. Should work since I have dracut configured to include firmware in the initramfs, right?

amdgpu.dpm=1 ?

>>10181
Ok found this https://www.mikejonesey.co.uk/linux/amdgpu-linux-driver-parameters
Won't this toast my GPU then if it can't dynamically throttle down clockspeed?

The arch wiki also suggested this kernel paramter for another error message that I don't know is related to this issue: 
amdgpu.vm_update_mode=3

>>10181
Built the kernel, disabled dpm, let's see if this fixed it.

>>10181
Just remember if you build amdgpu into the kernel, the firmware blobs must be included as well (see Gentoo wiki page)
Also, what is your performance governor? Performance seems to have issues at times with the old cgn cards (and has shit drivers for these... I know because Polaris has been an eternal shitshow). Use ondemand or conservative.
I think it's just dpm=1 (try 0 as well) since 4.xx kernel.
Another thing to check, are you using multiple outputs (like 2x HDMI etc)? That causes issues and has not been fixed since 4.14....
What is your kernel version?
>AMDGPU built as a module
That's fine. No need to build in initramfs, that's if you build it into the kernel. I was asking if the old ati module is not being built, or if it is, blacklisted.
> amdgpu.vm_update_mode=3

A tip: you generally want to use set -eu in scripts because you probably want to stop when you encounter errors. Adding also set o pipefail  makes the script fail if one of the piped commands fails (you don't want to use this always). Also, use shellcheck (unfortunately, it's the only way to make shell scripts less annoying to write).


If you want to enable tap to click permanently, the correct way to do it is to use xorg.conf.d:
language: bash
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/43-touchpad.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "MyTouchpad"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "3"
EndSection

I got this config from a web search result because I use libinput(4) driver on my laptop. I have this in my config:
language: bash
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/43-touchpad.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "MyTouchpad"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Driver "libinput"
    Option "Tapping" "on"
    Option "ScrollMethod" "edge"
EndSection
See also: libinput(4) or synaptics(4) and xorg.conf(5) Especially the comments about "MatchProduct", if you want this option to be enabled for 1 device (get the product name with xinput list).

You can also learn to use the Gentoo wiki and a search engine https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Libinput#Touchpad_tap-to-click

I have syncthing set up to sync the whole directory structure, of my data drive - including complete massive virtualbox images - between different computers, all using btrfs, which runs snapper to provide additional security if something goes wrong.

You can mount with autodefrag, but that can have horrible impact on the performance of bigger sqlite databases, and maybe disk images, so I stopped doing that. Alternatively there is btrfs fi defrag to manually defragment a file, but  its effectiveness greatly degrades as soon as you start having snapshots/COW copies of that file. You can also try nodatacow to prevent the issue in the first place, but that interacts with snapshots in a non-obvious manner: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/285763/taking-snapshots-of-a-btrfs-volume-mounted-with-nodatacow
In the end, COW and data deduplication generally leads to higher fragmentation. If you try to defragment it, you'll end up with higher disk usage (but less fragmentation). I also recommend getting btdu, which can show you how much space is lost due to broken up extents.
One alternative that I use is to use LVM2 and create separate LVs for the VMs. They won't fragment, but also you won't be able to snapshot them together with the btrfs subvolume. (Look` into lvm thin if you need thin provisioning/better snapshotting support).

It's been a year since I used i2p. I didn't use it because I used to be on shit internet, and now that I've got better internet, I want to use it again.

I forgot to write down the account and password for my router, and I'm essentially locked out. I have salvaged all that I needed from my ~/.i2p and ~/.i2pd folders, completely erased them, erased the old install, and installed the latest version of i2p from the website.

No matter what the fuck I do, i2p still asks for an account and password. The only source about resetting passwords is a six-year-old reddit post that is outdated as fuck, and FUCKING NOTHING on the i2p forums.

I am at my wit's end. I don't care what happens to my router as I barely used i2p in the first place.

You might also want to check your suspend settings (maybe initramfs is fucked). I don't use suspend or hibernate. check also that in the kernel AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT is unset (try passing kernel parameter mem_encrypt=off)
What was your dracut parameters? Try passing the module "resume" explicitly or  using genkernel's initramfs since it seems to be more stable for me.
I suggest you browse the gentoo wiki/irc/forum, otherwise. Like I said the Volcanic Island cards really seem to get the short end of the code quality stick. Your card might just be fucked and on the way out too.

>>10235
Have you disabled SMT (Inlel calls it Hyper-Threading) in UEFI or Linux? Some motherboards don't support suspending on RAM if you disable it. If you are talking about suspending on disk, you need to make sure to set Linux kernel cmdline resume partition param.

My nvme started having controller reset issues in dmesg and the filesystem would be remounted ro afterwards. I transferred all data to another nvme drive with a usb enclosure. I had to point a fan to it and limit speed to be able to transfer the whole thing.

Have you tried removing and then reinserting the drive? How about putting it in the USB enclosure to see if it fixes the problem? If neither of these work then I'd feel confident in saying that the drive is dead by now.

I got an idea.

You can (optionally) run Alpine Linux off RAM and store changes on a SD card or flash drive (you need to do this manually). Alpine can be installed on disk, too. The only caveat with running Alpine as your desktop/laptop OS is that proprietary software doesn't work with musl. But GZDoom works, Chromium/Firefox works, and so on.  I recommend that you use stable release first but you can upgrade to edge (-current) if you want to. I ran Alpine Linux edge as my only desktop OS for like 2 months.

You're really close. the return 0 in calcFinalprice should be the last line of int main. The line in calcFinalprice where you do your math shoud start with return. Also, you only need to #include <iostream> for your functions to work.

>>10269
>Are GParted-formatted drives simply not accessible from Windows?
No.

>Why is that?
You formatted your partition as a format that is not supported by Windows. Windoze doesn't support EXT4, for example. Use NTFS or FAT32 (for smaller partitions that you want to be easily accessible everywhere, like your flash drives.).

What's the feasibility of using a docker-focused distro for daily driving? Or at the very least using it solely for vidya while the rest of the host is doing it's own thing?

>What's the feasibility of using a docker-focused distro for daily driving?
What you mean by that? Are you talking about Alpine Linux? Or, do you mean that you want to play video games on a server PC that's doing $other_stuff at the same time or do you mean that you want to run games inside Docker containers? You can use nice/renice to make processes more nice to other processes (i.e. change their priority). If you are talking about Alpine... I used to run it as a daily driver for a couple of months and it works (provided that you don't need proprietary software because non-free software expect that you use Glibc. For example, GZDoom just works on Alpine, as do most other FLOSS games.). If you meant that you want to run proprietary programs inside Docker, then the performance penalty is smaller vs. using a full-blown VM but I have never used Docker like that. Either way, you want a lot of RAM (except, if you meant Alpine Linux without VMs or containers.). I think it's easier to run sever stuff inside containers and play your video games outside of containers.

>Can you detail your procedure for formatting a disk as NTFS/FAT so that it works on Windows?
This is what I do for my flash drives but I used similar method on my old PC for making a Fat32 partition for sharing stuff between windows and Linux.
I'm on Void Linux and I have gparted version 1.5.0.
1. open terminal emu
2. sudo gparted
3. select device from the drop down menu (first make sure it's not mounted, umount it if it is. you can use lsblk to check it).
4. (optional) If you want to nuke everything: menubar => device => create new partition table => GPT for partitions that are larger than 1TB, otherwise use MBR/MS-DOS.
  Or shrink/delete a partition.
Note: You should use Windows disk management GUI for shrinking NTFS partitions because I heard that there is an edge case that wasn't properly handled years ago.
5. Right click on the free space and select New.
6. select FAT32 as the file system format and press add.
7. press Apply from toolbar (green check mark)
8. Done.

You can alternatively use cgdisk (gpt-fdisk) or cfdisk on terminal. Then use mkfs.??? /dev/sd?n (change ? to correct letter and n to correct partition num) to format your partition (check the output of lsblk first). You want to set the partition type to 0B or 0C aka "FAT32 win95 LBA" or something similar (on GPT HDD, Botnet 10 used partition type 0700 for NTFS but pls use Windows tools for making the NTFS partition but use gparted to nuke or delete partition(s).).

>No idea what you're talking about, sorry.
different anon, but you can probably also use the disk management GUI or go to drive properties on the explorer GUI and change the drive letter there?

>Details on docker daily driver.

Short answer - Steam does not play well with WMs on my system. I was wondering if using docker would keep steam and games not related to steam more stable, secure, and private while the host end I could edit what I want in regards to the WM/DE. Your link to "Gui in docker containers" is actually extremely relevant to my interests.

Long answer - Steam does not like it when I change from mainline DE (XFCE, KDE, etc) to just a straight WM. Depending on the WM I switch to, it will cause some form of badness that makes me unable to play vidya. Because of this, I've been using XFCE, but otherwise I'd prefer to use as little overhead on the WM/DE side of things within reason, but I keep going back to XFCE.

Don't get me wrong, XFCE is a perfectly-good DE, and it's light relative to all the bullshit on the market, but I wanted to "use as little overhead as I can" with my DE/WM, and thus, thought of keeping steam, other vidya, browsing, and anything GUI-related in a docker container that contains all the shit that steam needs to function at best (within the limitations of valve's programming).

What I was expecting, is that I could set up a docker container using say, either ubuntu, linux mint, or steamOS's (as a last resort) files, set up steam, and theoretically, be able to play vidya with as little problems as possible on a linux setup, while retaining the low drag of having just a WM on the X side of things.

The link you posted has shed quite a bit of light on what I am to expect when it comes to docker containers. What I want is a balance between the security of my system and the convenience of just being able to get shit running in a few clicks. With my current system, VMs are either too slow, or too clunky for me, so I've been using jails otherwise.

From your link, it shows that using docker with the first method doesn't stop spying at all, and I'd need to look more up on VNC before I'd decide if it's worth going through the trouble setting it up.

Either way, thanks, and if this helps, I hope to know what you think on this.

>>10287
Not him and I don't know if launching games are related to steam. If you want to run steam in its own de, you only need to run an xephyr or xpra session. If you want more security, you can mount the xephyr or spra socket to a container.

>>10288
I'll keep that in mind too, thanks!

>>10287
>steam not playing well
Are you using X or Wayland? Steam does not support Wayland because they literally haven't ported the animations over properly.
>Containers
If you have an extra disk, I think one disk can work if you encrypt partition but I am not a fan of that) what about this setup:

<webrowswer like fagfox
>Encrypted Swap
>shared transfer disk
It's not like you can escape udev + dbus these days on steam  and dependency hell.

>>10292
>X or wayland
X. I doubt I'd touch wayland except for work or other use cases where vidya isn't as important. 

I'm currently on Slackware 15 since it's the distro I'm most comfortable with. I've had other distros break on the next boot after an update years ago, and I haven't quite got-gud-enough to install gentoo unironically, yet.

>Encrypted system with shared transfer disk.
Haven't really thought of that. I'll need to get another HD, first. The current ones I got are at least ten years old, and I don't know how long they'll last.

>It's not like you can escape udev + dbus these days on steam  and dependency hell.

>>10286
I'm using Void Linux as well but version 1.4.0 of GParted.
>This is what I do for my flash drives
Thanks, that worked (for FAT32). But I think there's a problem when resizing partitions:
<burn ISO to flash drive using Rufus on Windows
<result is one FAT32 partition readable by Windows
<shrink partition and add a second one, also FAT32, using GParted on Linux
<second partition is unreadable by Windows
<attempting to "change drive letter" of second partition using disk mgmt on Windows results in an error (pic related)
<attempting to format second partition also results in an error
So I took your advice:
>use gparted to nuke or delete partition(s)
And did the following:
<delete second partition using GParted on Linux
<unallocated space is now properly shown in disk mgmt on Windows
<however can't re-create second partition on Windows, all the "New ... Volume" options are grayed out
So the bottom line is GParted can't properly handle NTFS nor FAT32 partitions. Other than simply formatting an entire disk as one partition, GParted is useless and produces unusable disks.
Is there a different GUI program that actually works? I'd prefer something on Linux so I can live-boot it and use it on the go where Windows is unavailable.

>use Windows disk management GUI for shrinking NTFS partitions because I heard that there is an edge case
Now that you mention it, I believe I experienced this problem some time ago... I formatted and multi-partitioned a new disk on a new PC in preparation to install Windows 10, where all the partitions were NTFS. But during the W10 setup I could neither format nor install on any of said partitions, despite the setup recognizing each one of them.

>>10285
>wait for a message box to show up
See above.

>>10295
>So the bottom line is GParted can't properly handle NTFS nor FAT32 partitions.
>GParted is useless and produces unusable disks.
That's not true. But there is (or at least was) NTFS edge case that wasn't properly handled by gparted. The reason for that is likely the fact that NTFS is proprietary FS. I have used gparted extensively for creating and resizing FAT32 partitions and it has always just worked (it has worked fine for shrinking NTFS partitions, too. But I wasn't aware of the unsupported edge case, back then. I can't recommend using gparted for NTFS anymore, though.). The only thing that's not fully supported is working with NTFS partitions.

>Is there a different GUI program that actually works? 
I have no idea why it is not working for you but I have used gparted for the whole time I have been on Linux (10 years) and it has never failed me. gparted is the only partition editor GUI that doesn't suck.

>>10293
>Another disk
Yeah, the main idea for that is to prevent them from reading your personal data  If you wanted full anonymity you wouldn't being using steam. The telemetry will send your MAC address at a minimum though so spoof it. At least with LUKS they can't decode your shit unless your dumb enough to leave the keyfile on your compromised os.

Personally, if I had the monies I'd just get a RISC-V unit and falsify the user agent somehow to show a different OS and architecture since that's a dead giveaway, not too many people (relative) use Slackware.
What's really funny is that the Chinese government is trying to switch to riscv but keeps getting styimed cause all their shit was online web browser IE 9/11) only.

If you've done any distro hopping you might have noticed when you try to open or save a file with a popular app like firefox, the file picker window looks completely different if it is a GTK based desktop or QT one.

The desktop portal service is like a proxy that the app connects to when it needs a file picker dialogue and it figures out which one to use instead of the apps themselves worrying about it.

So I would check if the xdg-desktop-portal service is running or crashed or isn't installed. That could be the issue. You can also try installing a different one (either xdg-desktop-portal-gtk or xdg-desktop-portal-kde).

Personally I think everything about GTK3 styling is ridiculous and gives me eye cancer so I replace the gtk one with the kde one and even though I'm running xfce I get sane looking QT file pickers in all my apps which is nice.


The "portal" and FileChooser stuff is a proxy service. When you want to save a file in the browser it connects to this

I kinda get you. 
Sure it's evil, just looking at what the CCP are doing to their own people and its ambitions to take control of western countries and its ties with israel etc. 
On the other side the JewU, or "the west" as a whole is barely any better, actively genociding its own populations by controlled mass immigration and all the anti white policies. I just think the two are a different kind of evil with the CCP not really concerning us as europeans that much yet. 
Which is the lesser evil is up to you.

I myself have bought a lot of chinkshit in the past, mainly electronic components which has gotten a bit on my consience as well recently with all the scamdemic shit and the role CCP has played in the whole affair. 
As such being a tea addict, for my own consience I started ordering from Taiwan mostly.
 
On the topic of electronics though the other guy is right, just buying used shit is the best way to be independent from the globalized economy. Otherwise you can check out suppliers like Digikey or mouser. 
They stock european made electronic components. Sometimes the components are even cheaper than AliExpress - with the new EU tax - with the added bonus that you can be sure it's not relabeled bogshit. 
You'll have to plan in advance and order in bigger quantities though, since shipping is quite expensive.

How can I use a hosts file to block domains on a wireguard server?

I tried it on the peer computer, as well as on the server, but the file doesn't have any effect.

>>10356
DNS is normally resolved on the client, so you need to edit the client's hosts file, not the server's one. Alternatively you can block IPs using iptables on the server, but that works on IP level, not on a domain level. (Unless you use some kind of deep packet inspection, like this, but I never tried it: https://github.com/Lochnair/xt_tls), or set up a DNS server on the server, but in that case you still need to point resolv.conf at the server's IP.

Well, since you have a hosts file, probably the easiest is to set up dnsmasq (you only need to enable dns server, not dhcp/tftp/whatever else it supports), point it to the downloaded hosts file, then point your clients to the DNS server. You can actually even use this without wireguard, if you want.

>>10363
If he's just trying to censor himself the easiest thing is to install privoxy and put all the websites you don't like into the blockfile. Then you configure your browser to use privoxy as a http proxy and you're done.

I have been unsuccessfully trying the whole day now to get this fuckshit to work now.
Anon. I'm asking again, because you've always been able to help me.

I have this unusual setup:
>openwrt
>connects to public wifi instead of WAN
>all traffic goes through a wireguard server

I want to run transmission on openwrt and it should pass through the wireguard vpn just like everything else, but it won't connect at all.

I tried all kinds of port forwards and shit, but I don't really know what I'm doing. 
I have the feeling that I'm just missing something essential here. 
Any idea?

>>10444
this tutorial doesn't even mention anything about port forwards etc.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/downloading_and_filesharing/transmission

>>10444
Did you do something stupid like stop transmission-daemon, configure, and then forget to start transmission-daemon? I've done that.

>>10444
I would have posted about how you should learn why port forwarding is used. But you got trips and I am in mood.
If I read it correctly, you have a wireguard peer as vpn server somewhere on the internet. You need to setup port forward on the wireguard server instead of openwrt.
>don't know what I'm doing
Try to learn about it then.

>>10446
>Did you do something stupid like stop transmission-daemon
No. It's definetely running.
>>10447
>If I read it correctly
you did :^)
>You need to setup port forward on the wireguard server instead of openwrt
I have opened the port on the firewall. But I guess this is something different again? A google search brought up this https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vpn/wireguard/rules.html
Though it's too late now. Will bother with this tommorow.

Also if I run qbittorrent on my computer connecting to the fritzbox it works without a problem, so that's what made me doubt it's got something to do with port forwarding.

Anyone know why my unjewgled-chromium performance is ass on linux? Can't even browse large threads with lots of images without scrolling being extremely laggy while using tons of CPU.
Librewolf works fine, never had any issues with Windows unjewgled-chromium on the same machine.
Running Artix and Xfce if that helps.

>>10457
Are you using the bin package (AUR or universe repo) or ungoogled-chromium PKGBUILD from AUR? You could try changing -march=generic-x86_64 (or similar)  to -march=native /etc/makepkg.conf and remove --mtune=xxxx flag.

>>10458
The reason why bin packages may have bad performance is that they may have been built without LTO. Or they might be debug builds because some AUR packages started to default to options=('debug') after Arch introduced the debuginfod server (this is one of the reasons why you should read each PKGBUILD from AUR!).

>>10458
>>10459
https://packages.artixlinux.org/details/ungoogled-chromium
Same repo as Librewolf. Don't see why it wouldn't have been compiled with decent but generic optimization flags. I'd rather not spend a gorillion hours compiling browsers, I've been down that road before.

>>10457
Intel GPU? Try to remove that gay rainbow shit from devconsole, or switch to a theme that doesn't have a non-scrolling background. Chrome have abysmal rendering performance with certain Intel iGPUs. Also try disabling the WM's compositor if you have one.

>>10461
It's running in a VM with 3D acceleration disabled because they broke it. Disabling the rainbow animation was the first thing I did when it was added, it's not relevant.  As far as I can tell it only happens with lots of images. I already tried disabling compositing, HW acceleration and toggling a bunch of chrome flags but can't find anything that makes any difference.
Just seems like some weird bug that needs som magical setting to fix since neither Librewolf nor the Windows version of the same software has any issues.

>>10462
Then dunno, chromium is not really optimized for software rendering, so I'm not sure whether you can do anything about it. Chromium has been broken for at least 5 years in this regard on my notebook...

Tried downgrading to a version with working 3D acceleration, had to enable the #ignore-gpu-blocklist flag for it to work. The lag with lots of images as well as the abnormal guest CPU usage is gone but it just breaks a bunch of other shit ironically the compositor is one of them on top of using more host CPU than the pure software renderer in the end.
Seems like the only real option is to use a browser with a functioning software renderer like whatever firefox fork is popular this week.

>>10465
Is the wireguard server working? It is hard to tell from the info you provided.

>>10467
Forgot to disable #ignore-gpu-blocklist with 3D acceleration off and it still works, now I'm just confused. Don't think it's worth the CPU overhead, especially on videos where it eats a retarded amount of CPU, but still.

Planning on migrating my home server from Kubuntu 18.04 to Devuan 3, which requires a full reinstall since there is no way to go from an Ubuntu distro to a Debian-based one. Currently has several programs on it and I need to know the best way to migrate each one.
>Transmission, specifically how I can keep my seed ratios and if there will be issues in having it relocate the data on the other drives, which will remain untouched
>Jellyfin, how it will migrate its watch stats, users, and other metadata edits. There is a script for this on GitHub but it's designed around a Windows to Linux Docker migration instead of Linux to Linux
>Syncthing, how it will keep its sync status the same and not cause issues in overwriting or wiping files on my other devices when I get them all linked together

>>10521
Keep your /home, and make sure in the new install you have the same username and uid. /var and /etc are also places where system-wide settings/data might be stored, but you shouldn't blindly copy it over (especially /etc).
Unless you're really short on space, I recommend you do the install on a new partition/disk, so if the shit hits the fan you can still go back or grab the important files.

Problem can be on both sides. Check iptables rules. Change them back to a minimal working state, confirm connection, then work your way up to port forwarding.
Post iptables if you have trouble.

Nigger, if you are doing a serious configuration on a router, do it in the mother fucking command line. This requires you to login into root from your router through ssh, and from there you can know what the fuck was going by typing dmesg. Treat it as like your second linux computer. It's a same fucking shit. Right now I would suggest you to start it all over again by deleting your current vpn configuration and redo it from squere one. If you ever install any opkg pakages that is related to vpn, delete those too and reinstall it fresh back again.

All I did was right click something on the taskbar. Also, the desktop image keeps going away after I changed it to one of my own. I have to manually click it every time. It is installed on it's internal ssd I just put in a thinkpad t430 today. I figure I should install windows instead at this point if I can't get an icon to show up on a taskber without help nor get a desktop image to stay there. This shit's gay. 

>go to post shotted images

Just makes no sense at all, linux. It's like it's broken on purpose.

>>10603 (me) 
Or maybe it was never in documents but I could have sworn it was supposed to be. That aside I'm just not having a good time so far. I wasted many hours setting up stuff other than this then realized I was losing control. Gimp, vlc (and it's dvd breaking thing), dolphin, mednafen, mupen64+-QT, etc, but also copied lots of files over. I've turned it off and on lots, so inb4 that, and of course I updated it before installing stuff. It's lubuntu 18 rather than 20ish though, I read 20ish is more broken and I used to trust this OS in an emergency but never REALLY tried to use it much until now. I basically did not do much to it but suddenly, and I do recall it happening before, this wifi applet bullshit? How do I even open it without the icon? manually it looks overly.... manual, to add a network. There's no searching when I go through the start menu looking thing. Network connections is not it and Network is not it either. It's just a pain. You should not NEED that icon and using nm-applet to make it show up temporarily is just plain broken.

>>10603 (me)

Also it says indicator applet twice inside it's taskbar setting rather than once.

Unfortunately, lxqt is going to be rough around the edges. And NetworkManager is uber gay, not that there's a good alternative for it if you need to use more than 1 wifi AP.

>>10607

Sure, if you want to mess with config files and restart the daemon every time you want to change the wifi network, then watch the log file to notice when the wifi finally connects.

>>10607
>>10610
>>10609
I fixed it, never mind. Also, desktop image just hated being in an external hdd for some reason so that's fixed too. 

"To fix the Network Manager not showing up on the panel issue, from the Lubuntu menu select Preferences > Default applications for LXSession, then click on the Autostart tab and under "Manual autostarted applications" type "nm-applet", then click the "+ Add" button on the left."

It's there again.... so far.

Looks like your screenshots were taken with the scrot screenshot tool, the Lubuntu devs presumably didn't set the output path to your Pictures folder so that's on them.

Lubuntu 18 (both .04 LTS & .10) is end of life, you should grab the latest LTS release online. If Lubuntu is still giving you trouble it's worth trying Xubuntu with XFCE instead.

With how post 18.04 does not support both 32 and 64 bit I figured post 18.04 was soullessly developed. *shrugs* But how fast is it going to break? Old windows lasts ages after no longer getting updates so...

>>10616
>post 18.04 does not support both 32 and 64 bit
Your T430 will have no problems with running a 64-bit OS.
>I figured post 18.04 was soullessly developed
The main motivation for distros (especially desktop oriented) dropping 32-bit support is that the number of 32-bit only machines still in use is very small, the maintainer time and server space for providing a 32-bit version and packages just isn't worth it anymore. Fortunately some distros still support 32-bit only machines, in particular those aimed for really old computers.
>But how fast is it going to break?
The main issue is that you won't get any security patches or software updates, since those will mostly come from your distro repositories. Unlike in proprietary software, updates for open source programs are genuine improvements more often than not (only a few exceptions come to mind and some of those are down to personal preference), problems do get fixed over time and useful features are added.

>>10603
>day one of trying to use an easy linux
Which distro? Both Xubuntu and Linux Mint with Mate/Xfce4 just works.

> figure I should install windows instead at this point i
Just use a sane distro with a sane Desktop Environment.

>>10607
>not that there's a good alternative for it if you need to use more than 1 wifi AP.
Have you ever tried wicd (tbh, I think it's dead) or ConnMan?

>>10608
>I'll install windows 7 later on I guess.
Imagine using an outdated OS that no longer gets any updates (while you can get an OS that's at least on par with the features and still gets updates, and you can download it for free).

.>>10616
If you need a 32-bit OS, get Debian or Devuan. Use expert install option, so you can choose the DE yourself during the install, or use aptitude or tasksel after installation (but they don't remove the old DE, IIRC). If you are going to install Devuan, I highly recommend choosing OpenRC during the installation.  If you don't want Debian/Devuan, try Void Linux. It's very comfy (it also has a TUI installer).

>>10610
>what is wpa_cli
Way to out yourself as a gui search-enginelet nigger.
inb4 terminal scary, install gentoo

>>10618
I've tried connman, half of the features and way more bugs. It was also very slow to start up, but maybe that was more due to the fact that I tried it on an old ass notebook with devuan. I think that also needs dbus, so another meh.
>>10619
I don't even have networkmanager's gui installed because I don't have gtk3. nmtui/nmcli works, mostly, I only seldomly need to edit its config files by hand. nmtui-connect at least makes it easy to select which wifi network you want to connect to, and also it handles some vpn types.
>install gentoo
My gentoo install is fine, thank you very much.

Windows 7 is still ideal for 99% of windows software. Windows 1* is noticeably more bloated which slows down your software considerably and it frequently tries to kill itself with updates >inb4 the muh updates fags tells you to just turn the updates off. Wine works 90% of half the time after you spend 3 days debugging shit and wasting time that you could have spent just using the software, for each individual application. Playonlinux makes wine work slightly more often for considerably more bloat. 
Alternatively you could just use linux software instead, but if you're considering windows in the first place odds are the alternatives you have are just inferior copies which are not only lack multiple critical features, but are also bloated, prone to crashing when using their limited features, hardcoded to use systemd for no logical reason, and have a COC.

I'm trying to download the videos from this site but it somehow resisted every tactic I know of. 
Seems the way it works is it redirects you to another server that only gives you the video if you have the correct headers(?) but that site also has some JS bloat to kill the page if you open the page inspector. I even tried some third party addons but I only got one that could find the links (but hides them internally) and it required a third party tool to download the videos. 
Currently I've given up and I'm using the russian link to download it at 100kb/s but here's the link if anyone wants to try. 
https://watch-wrestling.io/watch-njpw-strong-independence-day-2023-night-2-7-5-23/

Mostly copied from cafe/agdg/ but here's a summary of the current state of FOSS video tools:
>Screen recording
OBS Studio (GUI, main focus is live streaming with offline recording capabilities, most features & community)
SimpleScreenRecorder (GUI, focused on recording, easy to use but the most niche)
FFmpeg (CLI, swiss army knife of video programs, screen capture not a primary focus but lots of documentation and generally useful)
>Video editing
Olive 0.12 (GUI, hardware accelerated with OpenGL effects, most similar to tools like Adobe Premiere with major rewrite in the works)
Cinelerra GG (GUI, multi threaded with an FFmpeg backend, lots of features and not slow either but the UI is like nothing else out there so it has a learning curve)
Blender VSE (GUI, single threaded, not speedy but solid like you would expect from Blender)
AviSynth+ (DSL, a scripting language for video with multi threading, relies on tools like FFmpeg for playback and rendering)
Melt (CLI/DSL, single threaded library that powers tools like Kdenlive with ability to run scripts, slow and buggy like the editors based on it)
FFmpeg (CLI, capable of doing some editing too, doesn't have the standard features of other editors but can do some basic things)

>>10670
>most similar to tools like Adobe Premiere
Premiere is trash. After Effects does everything premiere does and more, and with a better GUI to boot. 
The closest I've come across is blender of all things, but even then it's quite janky.

>>10671
I've heard Natron is somewhat similar (it's a compositor at least) but no idea how it fares.

>>10667
You've tried yt-dlp obviously.

If you stream a video in your browser and open up the developer tools you will see something like this in the Network tab
>foo.m3u8
>bar1.ts
>bar2.ts
>bar3.ts
>foo.m3u8
>bar1.ts
>bar2.ts
>bar3.ts
>....
The .ts files are the actual video+audio chopped up into like 10 second chunks.
The .m3u8 file is a playlist file, that tells the video player what the next few .ts files to download are and in what order to play them.

So first things first grab the .m3u8 file and look inside. That will give you the URLs for the .ts files. Normally they are just numbed 1,2,3... etc. So one thing to try is just increment the number yourself and download all the .ts files for this stream with wget.

If it's a live stream they might only let you download the last 10 minutes or so. Once you have all the .ts files (or as many as you can get) you can join them all together into a .mp4 file using ffmpeg.

The nuclear option if the server won't let you download the .ts files with wget. Run mitmdump, add the fake SSL certificate to firefox, and just play the video in firefox. Mitmdump will record all the bytes flowing through firefox into a big file. Then you can parse out the video data into .ts files and then glue them into a .mp4 video with ffmpeg like above.

>>10667
Open the inspector network tab, start playing a video, grab the m3u8 link and then run:
>yt-dlp blabla.m3u8 --referer "https://watch-wrestling.io/"
probably
If it's still 403 you can right click the m3u8 in the firefox inspector network tab -> Copy Value -> Copy Request Headers to find the right referer (sic).

>>10683
>>10704
I can't open the dev tools. They have a script that detects it and redirects you to a random page to break the connection. 
Due to modern browser bloat the JS redirect even ignores browser configs.

>>10711
Disable JS and try to figure out where it gets the stream playlist from the source I guess. Alternatively find the inspector script and block it.

>>10713
Stream doesn't load without complex JS bloat and the script that blocks the dev tools it bundled in with those scripts.

>>10670
You forgot Shotcut. Flowbade looks good too, albeit I haven't used it personally.

>>10714
Put a mitm proxy between your browser and the server and capture that specific packet.

>>10715
Both of those use MLT (Melt), I've tried Flowblade but unfortunately a nice interface can't make up for the underlying shortcomings of Media Lovin' Toolkit, when the 8.x series is released and it has multi-threading & GPU acceleration all of its frontends like Kdenlive, Shotcut, etc. will benefit. Whether it will still suffer from general bugginess by then is anyone's guess.

Now that the dust has settled are goto statements le good or le bad?

>>10740
You should generally le shy away from them, but in some cases they can be le useful like when getting out of very deeply nested le loops.

>>10740
Fine as long you don't overuse them, but it also depends on the language. For example in C they are frequently used to jump to common cleanup code in case of errors, while in languages with deterministic destructors/finally blocks/etc you'll rarely use them.

>>10740
Goto is just a jump like any conditional, function call, or loop. There's nothing special about them. You shouldn't use gotos when other forms of jump are neater, otherwise use them. This is mostly in the way that is typical of C written by Unix hackers as >>10742 described.

>>10740
Goto can lead to code that hard to read and has bad performance since it breaks some assumptions CPUs have about programs, but as long as you don't misuse it it's okay.

>>10744
>bad performance
Wut? You know that every control structure will be lowered to something like if (...) goto ...; when compiling your code, right? CPUs only have conditional jump.

>>10745
I remember reading a post a long time ago where the use of goto in certain cases caused the compiler to fuck up and generate code that wasn't as fast as the equivalent without goto. I can't find it right now though, and it seems it's not an issue for modern c/c++ compilers.

>>10749
yeah the optimizer not the compiler, has more to do with what jumping in general does to cpu performance with the main focus of the optimizer being optimizing stupid branching or structure jumps in a way thats better for the cpu like grouping them as close as possible to make them short jumps instead of long jumps that require a different code segment to be loaded and messes with prefetching, goto doesnt have any jump pattern to it theres nothing to discern from it, optimizers just look for patterns so it gimps the optimizers ability to use common tricks for the patterned jump like unrolling the for statements or making jump tables with switch and if/else trees, or just getting rid of trivial branching like things that are just a cmov or some stupid arithmetic you can do with the cmp flags without having to jump

>>10749
Well, I'd say it's probably not an issue with modern compilers. Older compilers, sure, but they suck at optimizing many things.
I mean, just look at the LLVM IR, it has no loops, only jumps. The optimizer will build a CFG out of it and operate on the resulting graph, i.e. there should be absolutely no difference between a code using goto and the equivalent code not using it, (Of course, if you produce an irreducible CFG using gotos, that can hurt things, as then you're creating graphs that are impossible to create using structured programming. But in that case, it's not trivial what is the equivalent code using structured programming, and its speed could easily vary a lot in both directions.)
>>10753
Using goto doesn't inhibit any optimizations. Nothing stops a compiler from changing a goto into a cmov or turning a series of if-else into a jump table or reordering the basic blocks, but in practice there might be differences. switches will be usually turned into jump tables, but a series of if-else is usually not. But as I mentioned above, if you have a graph, most of these differences disappear after a few trivial optimizations (you need to turn if (foo) goto bar; into a single conditional jump, and not if (!foo) goto after_if; goto bar; after_if:, but afterwards they're the same). So yeah, there might be differences, optimizers usually have arbitrary limits when they stop optimizing, and if you happen to just push it over the limit with an extra goto it can hurt, but that should be a pretty rare edge case.
In any case, you should write your code for readability, and only mess with such low level optimizations when you really need it!

>>10753
>optimizing stupid branching or structure jumps in a way thats better for the cpu like grouping them as close as possible to make them short jumps instead of long jumps that require a different code segment to be loaded and messes with prefetching
You're talking like it's the 1980s. The stuff you're saying applies to the 8086 and C compilers of the era. 

The 8086 had an instruction prefetcher, it fetched the next instruction into a circular buffer continuously and jumping invalidated it. Today's processors cache blocks of bytes and not the list of instructions to run, jumps don't flush the cache. 

The 8086 had a short jump instruction that could jump an offset that was a signed 8-bit integer, if the code you wanted to jump to was too far, you had to use a long jump which was slower. Today, x64 still has short jumps, but a short jump on x64 is 32 bits, you probably don't have more than 2GiBs of code inside a function. 

Back in the day what statement you used mattered because the compiler was actually looking at your C code and not some sort of IR, so less used constructs got less attention from compiler developers. Today, everything becomes a conditional or unconditional jump in the IR of the optimizer of a modern compiler (basically just GCC and Clang) and goto doesn't generate unusually worse code, just remember that compilers can't reimagine your code, they only try to produce the best assembly of the C you gave them.

>>10756
>compiler was actually looking at your C code
Reminds me of old BASIC interpreters, where interpreters didn't turn your code into bytecode, but they were executing the actual source code, re-parsing each line every time they got executed. So if you wanted to speed up your code, you had to delete unnecessary spaces, shorten your variable names, and whatever else that would make your code completely unreadable.

>>10756
>but a short jump on x64 is 32 bits, you probably don't have more than 2GiBs of code inside a function.
I wouldn't be surprised if modern games started hardcoding the uncompressed textures inside functions with how increasingly bloated and unoptimized they're getting.

>>10758
Nah, that's not happening. First that would mean the exe file itself would have to be > 2GiB, second compilers no longer like to store code and data at the same place, third the texture is needed by the GPU anyway, and they're usually not *that* stupid to hardcode it into the exe (for one, that's actually harder to do than writing a function that calls fread), two game code and assets are usually done by different departments, so they would just make their own life much harder if they would do that).

I'm working on making a Huffman encoder in C, and I keep getting a segfault whenever I want to get a reference of an array index. Is there a good way to do this?

>>10760
its already normal behavior with arm to put static data in a literal pool between the actual instructions

>>10761
>>10764
Segfault means you have undefined behavior in a memory access, i.e. you ran off the end of an array or referenced memory after free()ing it or something of the sort. Run your program under valgrind and it'll tell you where.

>>10770
>valgrind
These days you can also try -fsanitize=address with clang/gcc, which might give you better or worse results depending on the state of the moon. But at least it's much faster.

What linux distro is right for me if I want to gaym while not getting stalked by mossad aaaand not deal with retarded problems?

>>10915

>>10916

>>10915
>not deal with retarded problems
Debian or Devuan. If you don't know the difference between the two, Debian.

>>10917
>arch
AUR distributes binaries compiled by randoms, can have malware, also no guarantee those package won't break the system when installed to it.
Has systemd. Generally takes all the RedHat jewniggercock.
The maintainer-side part of package management system is probably the least automated of all distros, they have to handle library versions and who depends on them manually for instance, so it's prone to human error. Arch in general has absolutely 0 quality control, so its packages are constantly breaking.

>Ubuntu
Also has systemd and generally takes all the RedHat jewniggercock. Has ads in /etc/motd. Is migrating to Snap. Has telemetry.


Remember that a Linux distribution is little more than a set of obligatory packages, a package manager, a repository, and what they require of those packages. i.e. Alpine mandates your libc has to be musl, Debian mandates your init has to be systemd, most distros have a "base" meta package with a set of packages that is the minimum you have to have installed. Debian doesn't build packages with non-executable memory on non-x64, gentoo hardened musl uses the strong stack protector for everything (by default anyway), etc. It's in those details that you're going to find out why a specific distro sucks.

DOS just worked. It didn't need updates constantly, and all the other bullshit that Linux has. It had shitloads of video games as well as useful software. And you didn't need a fucking botnet speculative supercomputer to run it, a 386 or 486 was fine for lotsa stuff. You could even do networking with NE2000 cards and install TCP/IP software. But hey just a terminal program like Telix or QModem was fine too. And you could also do basic multitasking with Desqview. I used to run that and have QModem logged into my ISP's SunOS shell where I'd be on IRC, and have another terminal open with my text editor writing Turbo Pascal codez.

Firefox' font settings have a check box that says "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above". Unticking it makes my font settings apply to all web pages.

Chromium has no such setting, but I can install the "Force Fonts" extension that does it. However, this actually disables all remote fonts entirely, so the custom font in e.g. the https://alogs.space/ header isn't loaded. Is there a way to make Chromium override fonts but fall back to remote fonts when I don't have a font for the glyph?

Why is ffmpeg GPU encoding not working like it should? I have a RX 550 but the max speed it hits is about 2x, and that's just on a 350MB AVI file. On my other PC using CPU encoding and just putting it through QWinFF it encodes in only a couple minutes, but now it's been going for about 20 minutes and it's still not done.

ffmpeg -i \
        "$file" \
        -c:v h264_vaapi \
        -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 \
        -vf format='nv12|vaapi,hwupload' \

You have vaapi working and no permission problem from the output. The problem should be in ffmpeg only.
From http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/VAAPI , you should use the render* card. At this point, I suspect the reason for slow encode is hwdec not being used.

Why are there no trinary computers? What would be their advantages if they existed?

If I do rsync -avz /source /destination, does it copy the files to create duplicates of existing files or what? Currently I'm doing the -avz options. Before doing rsync, I did a manual file copy from file manager and then it ended up getting segfault. Not sure why that happened. I kind of underestimate how slow it is to do backup through conventional file copying method using file manager. There's no compression optimization in "cp" which is why it is slow as hell.

>>11011
Last time I've read from some anon post. It was practically slower than binary. It creates overhead because of extra information process from trinary.

>>11011
they do exist theyre just stupid, you get an extra bit thats it, instead of using two transistors you can just use one its just more complicated without any exclusive benefit, weve always been able to just add more transistors so why bother, that extra bit per transistor is a pathetic reward for how much more complicated things become and circuits are inherently binary anyway, its either on or off, ie. high or low voltage which is the principle of how semiconductors work which is the principle of how transistors work which is the principle of how computers work, once you start asking for a voltage profile thats hi/mid/lo youre just over complicating your components and youll need different kinds, and more expensive, transistors since the classic basicbitch mosfets used for literally everything become useless fast when going above the threshold voltage which is the only way youre going to get a third state with off/on/you-fucked-up-turn-me-off-before-my-threshold-degrades-to-zero

What is a good protocol to chat with others? There's tox that's pretty secure over tor, but as far as I can tell you can't use it from more than one device and doesn't work if the other peer is not online. IRC is basically the same except you also have to trust the server admin. Matrix can be used from multiple devices and works even if the other person is offline, but encryption support is very flaky, and without that you have to trust both your and the other user's home server's admin (and group chat is a different layer of nightmare, where every metadata about you gets synced to every server that participates in the room). Not sure how well it works over tor.
And of course there are shitloads of proprietary botnet protocols, but I don't want to touch any of them.
