Why? Our party van is lots of fun! :D

I'm no legal expert, but I don't think law enforcement actively tracks people, who more than obviously and self-evidently had contact with that stuff by accident. I think they can differentiate between an actual criminal and you, for example. Also, this site has clear rules against CP, so it's blatant that you didn't type in tohno-chan.com into your URL-bar with the intention to watch CP and (as far as my understanding goes), that is what actually matters to the police.

Another addendum, with the release of version 0.5, those peers wont work anymore. You should check a recently updated page in https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/public-peers

Also, you might have to look in C:\ProgramData\Yggdrasil and update the configuration file there too.

Installing Yggdrasil seems to have been made easier on Windows. I didn't need to manually add peers on a fresh install this time.

Have any of you guys experimented with CRXN and DNS42?
CRXN seems to be also based on IPv6 and P2P, like Yggdrasil, but unlike Yggrasil, it seems to be more focused on learning networking, playing around with it and generally being more open to allowing a richer set of protocols. Have any of you found any interesting sites or found anything other noteworthy? Regarding, DNS42, I don't know much at all, besides a lot of people, who are using CRXN, also use DNS42, additionally it seems to be merged with CRXN or something.

I looked at it a bit, but the barrier to entry is higher and there's enforceable content restrictions, which means it's not a "real" network in my eyes and more of a purely hobbyist thing.

With them starting to require accounts for downloading ROMs, I recently created one to download a Vita game. Most likely the only info they have of me is my e-mail and IP address.

If/when IA falls, what do you reckon are the chances/amount of data lost, aside from what they intentionally remove from the archives. Forgive me for my ignorance, but what's there to stop splinter groups from forming with the partial amounts of the data they have access to?
IA could go down or become unaccessible and that would suck, but what I am scared is if that meant any amount of data that is not backed up being lost/deleted, inaccessible to the public or not.
I recall them having some backups internationally, but from what I can tell they all are only partial backups, outdated and stagnant.
If only some benevolent oil barons spent money creating backups of the archive in various countries...

IA has always felt like it was run on tin cans. I'm not surprised this happened, they really don't seem to have much technical competence (for the longest time the wayback machine scraper failed at its basic job and never saved resources like images, this was only fixed in 2017). And of course others already commented that for some reason they seem oddly fixated on trying to poke the law with their ebook lending program rather than shutting up and staying out of the limelight (Anna's archive has already mostly solved the ebook archival problem).

>>3483
Oh and don't forget that if they aren't brought down by this, an earthquake eventually will: Whose bright idea was it to put their datacenters in a city that's known to be at risk for severe earthquakes? I cannot find any evidence that they've taken measures to seismically retrofit the buildings, so I assume they haven't.

They seem to be similar, I can't find good comparisons. HTTrack allows multiple-connections + multithreading looks like. HTTRack seems to be more gui-focused, although there is a CLI version?

I think given httrack is more focused on mirroring it might work better out of the box for more complex websites.

There is also this:

wget --mirror --page-requisites --adjust-extension --convert-links

The --mirror flag is, as far as I understand it, different in the way, that it doesn't pick up on external links and just focuses on plain mirroring. The man page doesn't say much about this flag, except for it being '[..] suitable for mirroring'.
Also, the --adjust-extension is probably irrelevant for TC, but it changes .cgi, .php, .py, .asp to .html. The man page states, that the --adjust-extension is the same as --html-extension, but with a different name.

Which version of man pages are you looking at, mine seems to say "mirror is a superset of recursive - "--mirror" option turns on recursion and time-stamping, sets infinite recursion depth and keeps FTP directory listings. It is currently equivalent to ‘-r -N -l inf --no-remove-listing."

Which seems fairly clear. (Other gnu projects do have unfortunately terse pan pages, for some reason Gnu hates man pages and prefer using "info" doc tool, which is pretty stupid.)

>>3477
>Which version of man pages are you looking at
GNU Wget 1.21.3 2022-05-14 WGET(1) on Debian 12.
I copied the relevant section and it reads as follows:

--mirror
Turn on options suitable for mirroring. This option turns on
recursion and time-stamping, sets infinite recursion depth and
keeps FTP directory listings. It is currently equivalent to -r -N
-l inf --no-remove-listing.

It's a damn pain if it isn't however...

I also have a 6tb HGST enterprise drive and a pcie->m.2 adapter, but couldn't find either on pcpartpicker. The 450w power supply is basically a ticking time bomb, have had it for almost 10 years and been edging it for the past 5...
Want to upgrade to AM5 but it's so god damn expensive.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bD9Yyg

Some caveats:
the PSU is actually an FSP Si series FSP700-50ARN, but I couldn't find it in the list. That other one looked close enough.
Couldn't bother to check if that is the exact model of the optical drive, but it's that line of drives.
I also have some mystery tan-coloured SM SD/MMC MS/MSPRO CF/MD card reader/writer 3,5 inch drive.
All of the peripherals are too ancient or obscure to be listed.

>>3463
An internal multi-card reader isn't something I've heard of before, but it makes sense for photographers and the like. Amazing how that functionality can be found in a USB device now.

Currently I'm wokring on a Game engine. Made in C/C++, raylib library and Dear ImGUI. I guess I will updating my progress here.

What timezone do tohno-chan timestamps use? Pacific time?

I just made a post and looked up where in the world that time currently is and according to some random site, it's Pacific Daylight Time.

Appearance-wise I would choose Ruby, because she doesn't look as depressed as the other girls and kind of cute, but otherwise if your questions were only about the language, then Shell. People underestimate how much you can do with simple POSIX shell scripts. Dylanaraps is a good example for this. Unlike what most people know him for, which is neofetch, he also wrote a file manager, an IRC client, core utilities, a transmission client, a package manager and more in pure Bash. What he has done of course only scratches the surface of what can be done in Bash/POSIX shell and I think many Perl/Python scripts could easily be replaced with Shell scripts if done right.

>>3362
Yes, the problem was caused by reading the schematic and writing it without the \n character. This was useful for part 1 and I was building on part 1 to do part 2, but I did part 1 months ago and didn't suspect anything about that.
Here's a link that will help you debug your programs(using a URL shortener because i suspect something in the url triggered the spam filter.)

oh, maybe I should've read the rest of the thread...

if you're wondering which year is the most fun to do, it's 2019

https://spectrum.ieee.org/ham-radio was a nice recent article on the current state of ham.

I guess "ham radio" as a community is dying, which makes sense since there are endless ways to communicate these days. Moreover, from a technological standpoint the ability to transmit information over distances via radio is no longer as captivating as it once was, since the Internet suffices for the vast majority of use-cases (especially since you don't need to get a license to experiment with it, equipment is ubiquitous, and development can be done at the software-level).

>>2435
Apparently you can use ham radio to make a mesh network.
http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/

I have a Baofeng GT-5R (which is basically a copy of the notorious UV-5R), but I never managed to receive anything with it, or at least no voice, which is what I hoped for. From my understanding, you need to connect to a repeater, to receive anything, so I tried programming it manually, to connect to it, but it didn't work and a second time I tried doing it with a programming cable connected to my computer, but it didn't work out either (apart from changing some trivial settings). I used a software called Chirp for it.

I probably agree with this Anon's >>2131 notion, that it probably sounds more interesting, than it really is. HAM Radio is heavily regulated, very expensive and at the end of the day, when you jumped through all the hoops, you just end up in a glorfied audio call, where you can say your name and location. Maybe there is more to it, but I think at that point you'd have to either spend an inane amount of money and time for it or do it professionally.

>>3454
Yeah the FCC restriction that HAM communications be "in the clear" kind of makes things boring.

It seems most of the recent attention in the radio-space has been around LoRaWan (using the unlicensed 900MHz band), since it's not subject to such constraints and unlike 2.4GHz the 900MHz frequency gives you enough range to do cool things.

>>3098
What do you use as a daily driver? If it's a Chromium fork, >>3026 is what I have to say about that. Adding something is a lot harder than removing it.

>>3098
There's always DILLO, anon.

chromium's meh but their dev console is so good i can't switch to anything else. using ungoogled chromium atm

How is it better than firefox's?

The jump from h264 to h265 is fairly big, most single-episode releases go from 1GB to ~400MB. The improvement from h265 -> av1 isn't quite as big as that, looks about 400MB -> 200MB or so.

h264 releases will likely keep getting made forever since its the lowest common denominator. h265 re-encodes are fairly available.

>>3341
>h264 releases will likely keep getting made forever since its the lowest common denominator
GPUs could stop supporting it like with VP8. Sure h264 is way more entrenched, but streaming is only getting more common and faster. If you're encoding everything in AV1(or something else) to begin with because of that, there's no reason to encode things in h264 for the blu-ray release. I'd say this shift will happen within 25 years.

>GPUs could stop supporting it like with VP8
I don't think vp8 hwdec ever had wide adoption in the first place? Unlikely that gpus would stop supporting h264, there is so much legacy media that it's worth it for that alone.

> If you're encoding everything in AV1(or something else) to begin with because of that, there's no reason to encode things in h264 for the blu-ray release
No one is encoding av1 but hobbyists and big streaming companies right now because encode cost is too expensive, and almost no devices support av1 hwdec. It's been about 20 years since h264 was released, now most devices can hwdec h265 and yet h264 is still popular. I doubt it will go away that easily.

I think discs are going to make a come-back, at least in the enterprise space.

>For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that optical data storage capacity can reach the petabit (Pb) level by extending the planar recording architecture to three dimensions with hundreds of layers, thereby breaking the optical diffraction limit barrier of the recorded spots.
>The storage capacity within the area of a DVD-sized disk can reach up to Pb level, equivalent to at least 10,000 Blu-ray disks or 100 high-capacity hard drives.

>The dataset behind GPT, which includes 5.8 billion indexed web pages and occupies about 56Pb of text, would typically require a playground area of hard drives for storage.
>However, the three-dimensional nanoscale optical disk memory can shrink this space to the size of a desktop computer, significantly reducing costs. Moreover, the energy consumption of nanoscale optical disk memory is several orders of magnitude lower than traditional methods, and its lifespan can reach up to 50–100 years.
