On my place of employment's computers, without authorization I continue to download the Snowflake extension. This extension was designed by the Tor Project, and it creates a WebRTC proxy in your web browser to serve as a bridge for users where Tor is heavily blocked. The best part is to install the extension, most of the time you don't even need admin privileges and you can configure it to run even when the browser is closed with the click of a button. Am I a good or bad person for doing this? https://snowflake.torproject.org/

To do this on Android, install Orbot and enable "Kindness Mode". With the recent flareups in the Middle East, there's been a massive wave of blocking Tor in the effected countries, please help if you can!

>>1437 fyi, it's a proxy to the actual Snowflake bridge. it's not an actual bridge itself.

You inspired me and did the same. One more proxy!

Is buying old Thinkpads, Librebooting them and then reselling them a real business strategy? I remember people used to do this a few years ago when Thinkpad nostalgia was at its peak (2021 I think) but I didn't think people still did it. I always thought the type of person who would want a Librebooted Thinkpad would also be the type of person who would want to do it themselves, let alone the concern that the person "Librebooting" it also isn't putting spyware on your machine (See: Anom)

Its a little off topic but I recently bought a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 with 32GB of RAM and a 13th gen Intel i7 CPU and I'm loving it so far love This is the first time I've ever used Windows on a laptop before without it being insanely laggy laugh

>I always thought the type of person who would want a Librebooted Thinkpad would also be the type of person who would want to do it themselves I think some people want the benefits of it without having to actually do it themselves

How much math is actually required when programming?

>>38 understanding basic geometry in 2D and in 3D, (for example, equations of lines, linear interpolations between points) is very helpful if you are dealing with graphics or even just bare gui layouts For everything else, the way math works is that once someone has figured something out you can just copy the solution. It's highly unlikely that you ever get to work on something inovative so its quite useless. It's still a good idea to understand these things tough If I say that your algorithm takes quadratic time, you should immediately know what that means and why otherwise you will look like a dunce
>>
The amount of math you need will vary depending on what "genre" of programming you're working in. Web development might not need more than basic arithmetic, but you should explore languages that specialize in scientific computation to see another world of computing. https://julialang.org/community/organizations/
>>
Not a lot and for those areas where it is necessary you can learn it then since it's usually just a sub-part of what you'd get taught in school. (like matrices and calculus for 3D graphics or understanding the modular multiplicative inverse for RSA crypto) It's usually the theoretical college parts for academics that focus on the mathematics.

Many people think that math is the only form of logic or the purest one, but math is just one of many different ways to think logically. Computers and machines focus primarily on machine logic, iteration, electricity, etc. Programming is highly logical but it's not a branch of maths by itself. What to expect: If you do computer graphics, data analysis, LLM, etc, you will use a decent amount of maths, not because of programming itself but because of your field. If you don't work on a math-heavy field then you won't do much maths besides arithmetics, though something that sticks is the declarative mindset of maths. Computers are inherently procedural, but in functional programming you think in a declarative way. If you like that then that's alright and if you don't then that's alright too because there are plenty of traditional languages and machines themselves are not declarative.
>>
>>38 none. you can learn math by programming in fact thats what most people end up doing.

>>1341 I know there's some SGI boards that use their own protocol or whatever but mine's a 9500829 that just uses PS/2, I don't actually have anything to plug it into, though... My PC motherboard doesn't have a PS/2 port sadly, I convert my vintage keyboards to USB with Pro Micros or get custom PCBs made for them. The Model M is a good board, enjoy it! I assume you meant to say rubber dome (Quiet Touch) instead of membrane because all Model Ms use a membrane for sensing, even the buckling spring ones. I own a few Model Ms myself, but I prefer my Model Fs since the springs are a bit lighter and the bottom-out is firmer. I actually "cushionless modded" one of my Ms and I think it feels much nicer, though I wouldn't recommend it for most people since it took ages and there's a possibility of breaking stuff, also changes the sound a lot which you may not like.
>>
>>1342 oh ok so that's why they fried. personally i use a cheap ps/2 to usb converter for now because i suck ass at soldering btw a couple of years have passed since i researched into it before buying (forgot all the terminologies) but yes i was talking about later variants using rubber dome >though I wouldn't recommend it for most people since it took ages and there's a possibility of breaking stuff, also changes the sound a lot which you may not like. yeah just for the rarity of these things where i live (not US) i'm even scared to just clean it up. by the way, do you know if the springs eventually break and if there's a way to change them (how?)
>>

>>1344 I don't live in the US either, so I know how it is, it took me a while to build up the collection I have. Those who search long and hard enough are rewarded... No, buckling springs don't go bad on their own as long as you don't mess with them, and Yes, there is a way to replace them using a toothpick or something I believe, you don't need to if they all work fine though so don't worry about it. What you *might* have to worry about is that the Model M keyboard assembly is held together using melted plastic rivets that eventually break off over time and cause the keyboard to not feel/sound good anymore or even not function properly. This can be remedied by replacing the rivets that break off with screws and washers as illustrated in pic related. Your Model M might be in good enough condition that it doesn't need it, though. Give it a gentle shake to hear if there are any small plastic parts rattling around inside, that would likely be broken-off rivets.

>>1346 Here's the hardware you need for it, M2x8 Self-Tapping Screws (Countersunk) and M2.5 or M3 Washers (6mm or 7mm Outer Diameter), you will need 60 of both to fully screw mod a fullsize Model M, but I recommend only replacing rivets that have broken off and leaving those that are still intact alone. Make sure you have a 5.5mm nut driver to actually open your Model M up, as well. Screw mod isn't to be confused with bolt mod, which is an older mod that accomplishes the same thing, but is more intensive and finicky.
