what can I do with this little thing? I know you can do little robots or mini pc or host a server but what else can it do?
>>718 Sandisk is what I use. Use a micro SD card with at least 8GB, maybe even 16GB storage space to avoid it bricking itself after a year due to not being able to allocate bad sectors.
>>12 my Pi 4 sits next to my desktop and plays downloaded Youtube videos and music it also does a handful of LAN web things like running a few local instances of some web applications (in particular, poti-board for oekaki!) and SMB and the lot it's very useful having another computer next to your actual computer, although I do want a Pi 5 since doing web browsing anything is unbearably slow (although I don't expect a major performance bump) >>718 using an SD card with a Pi is probably a bad idea if your use case can boot from USB running over a cheap SSD over USB with a SATA-USB cable has been way, way, way better, just head and shoulders faster if you do need an SD for your specific use case, prioritize speed and then size a too slow SD card on a Pi 4 or 5 will cause extremely painful UI stalls, found that out when moving my old Pi 2 card to a 4 and although technically everything was faster when you measured the times, the UI was vastly less responsive while a too small one will absolutely brick itself since you need some buffer space to spread out writes, and a boot drive will absolutely be hammered by regular writes

Anna's archive, Libgen, and the Pirate Bay can't be accessed in Northern Ireland anymore or at least I can't get to them. Can someone please get me 1. Trashing the Planet: How Science Can Help Us Deal With Acid Rain, Depletion of the Ozone, and Nuclear Waste (Among Other Things) 2. Planned society, yesterday, today, tomorrow; a symposium by thirty-five economists, sociologists, and statesmen 3. Any books on Lisp or Lua game development 4. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 5. Any Book on the Euro currency and how it was introduced
Damn the entire thread actually conflicts with rule 2

You gonna conquer the world?
Can I join in???
>>1109 Yes I will conquer the world and establish a world government but it will be an one to stop the new world order. Yes you can totally join in
What linux distro should I use? Help me out, friends, I'm so confused. 
>>1085 how bad my privacy is on windows now? I already don't have the schizo level of privacy, but I still try to use things like ungoogled chromium. I disabled all the telemetry, deleted edge and copilot etc.
>>1087 >how bad my privacy is on windows now? Not bad really, only it would take them exactly one click to enter your system because all mass market proprietary software is backdoored, and the backdoors are coordinated by you know what government. I'm not sure linux in a panacea but it seems since linux is used exclusively in privacy conscious scenarios, it is more expensive to enter a linux machine. Though if you use your usual systemd with gnome/kde, you don't win much, since all of them are designed as malware as well. If you think open source cannot be openly malware you're dead wrong. Simply make unnecessarily complex and over engineered """solution""" and call your backdoors """"zero day RCEs"""" and chill. Since moving away from systemd is not possible and since it seems Linus is going to be deposed in upcoming years, I doubt you win anything by switching to linux. I'll probably keep some kernel tarballs just in case, but I think software freedom is doomed and unless something happens with the world, we will not be able to own our own system anymore.

>>1087 depends on your threat level. for the majority of people what you're doing is fine. if your threat level is something more casual like "i want to stop companies from selling my data for algorithms" then you can still do that to a satisfying degree on an LTSC install with disabling scripts. using trusted, open source software (like ungoogled chromium/librewolf, libreoffice, krita) and healthy amounts of caution online will be a good effort. if you want to go even further you can use invidious, nitter, and other alternative frontends for data hogging sites. the hikarin above me is correct in the sense that you can't really hide from the government, but that is not within most people's threat level (including mine).
You know those programs with in-terminal GUIS (e.g alsamixer), how does that work?
>>1053 it's called TUI, in principle you can make one just using your terminal's protocol. there are libraries like pdcurses, termbox2, crossterm or ncurses that include utility functions and add a compatibility layer so you don't have to learn the different terminal protocols. and then there are higher level libraries that even come with widgets and multi-platform input handling like tuibox, libtickit*, libvaxis or ratatui* these last two don't depend on any curses emulator and use their own, significantly less bloated, stacks there is also imtui if you want a terminal backend for imgui *: c **: zig ***: rust
Finished my rice a while ago, but Syrno said I should post it and then stole my fastfetch config, so here we are! Dotfiles available upon request!
>>966 Ngl it only took me about a week after installing hyprland for the first time to get the bulk of it done. But tbf, i had been using kde for the better part of a year before switching.
hyperland is a waste of cpu usage and too much desktop effects
It has no soul tbh, very bland. looks like any other rice. 5/10
While reinstalling my system I accidentally tarballed /srv/http outside of chroot, then deleted my old data, now have to rewrite the website i was working on from zero
I once unpacked an entire system outside of chroot, rewriting my current one and breaking everything.
i know of Xen, Bhyve (which is like a vmm but with a hypervisor too, but its kinda less capable), or KVM (i don't really like GNU/Linux but ill get over it eventually i guess, im in a love hate relationship rn because distro fragmentation kinda sucks a lot)
Xen apparently may or may not work on my current hardware, unfortunately, and i also don't know if ill even benefit from it anyways, since i really don't have a problem with running a host, its 2024, i have enough computational resources for having a resource intense host
i would also say NetBSD Virtual Machine Manager is an option but i can't run NetBSD on most of my hardware as a host, and nested virtualization is not really possible on FreeBSD Bhyve iirc, and id rather not do a QEMU/KVM setup just to run NetBSD, it would be really heavy and sluggish for the most part, but idrk
plan 9 also has a virtual machine system, but i don't really have a reason to start a 9fs grid since im broke af and can't buy a bunch of machines, so yeah, idk
Hyper-V might be fine, im not opposed to Windows at all, but its gonna take a bit to learn how to use Windows. Solaris 11 is also an option but id rather not depend on having an Oracle account, even if its "free", however if its virtualization is actually good i might just use Solaris as my host, especially since it still supports SPARC (i plan on buying a SPARC machine)
> what hypervisor should i use? I don't understand what you are trying to do with your hypervisor? I think in most cases, you should be fine with KVM though. I don't see why you would use anything else as it's (except for Xen and Hyper-V maybe) the most capable, stable and best-supported out of your list.
There isn't a "good" hypervisor. Just know what works best for you. I recommend using VirtualBox, I personally use it. It's cross-platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and it's free.

If that's not interesting or useful for you, try using VMware or some other visualization computer software...
How 2 exit it?? Is it malcious software?
Fear not, young lady! I am a wizard, and I shall help you. Press escape and type in this spell: ":wq" No need to thank me. I'm just doing my duty...
It is cruel irony that I find vim the most comfy terminal based text editor. No other compares to it. But is so fucking complex and overloaded with features, that every time I need to correct my workflow it's major pain the ass.
>>881 vis may be of your interest: https://github.com/martanne/vis Haven't used it too much though
Anyone know a free VPN add-on for Firefox with lots of IPs/servers? I only know UrbanVPN.
>>893 Are you crazy? It's dirty cheap for services they provide. mullvad and ivpn are probably the only ones that are not openly survey your internet activity. You won't find this quality for a cheaper price, ever.
>>894 Anything that's not free is too expensive for a NEET like me.
I don't know if this would fit your use case, but whenever I need to access a website as if I'm in another country, I just use Tor and configure it so the exit node is always in the country I want to access the site as.
I've been doing this a lot lately to access Niconico as if I'm in Japan, since they recently applied a lot of restrictions to overseas users
