Since Windows 10 is reaching its End of Life, what's the best Linux distro to use? I was thinking of Linux Mint possibly but I want to see if any Hikarins had any better suggestions

Hello hikarin three channel. I am poasting from ReactOS. Ask me anything.

I found this abandoned repository https://gitgud.io/parley/Haruko. It's imageboard software that's not that old but still works. This is what it looked like: https://archive.is/qiLyz. and I would like your help in updating it. It would be a project for “new” imageboard software made with PHP because, from what I've seen, there aren't many like this left, so I created this repository: https://github.com/bigdustycheese/AobaIB which I will update and you will also help me with. >>Why should we help you with this? What do I get in return, OP? It's simply a collaborative fork. If you want to help me, that's fine. No one is forcing you. (If you see this on other imageboards, it's not spam.)

I am in dire need of more IRC channels!!!! Ones that aren't completely dead, although I understand it is IRC so I'll take what I can get. No specific topic that I'm looking for, just interested in seeing what else is out there. Right now I frequent Sageru's #jp, #linux, and #qa. I am also in the Hikari3 IRC and Wapchan's IRC. Recommend your favorite IRC channels gomennasai!

Could the newly announced Steam Machine technically work well as a NAS? The specs were just announced but I'm assuming Steam OS has all the capabilities of a NAS but I'm not sure and new to all this.

Do you still use CRT monitors? I do

I've been wanting to switch from pidgin to a different irc capable client, preferably an open source one but not necessary. Which ones do you guys use?

Have you tried any Peer to Peer E2EE messaging program? Some examples would include Briar, Cwtch and OnionShare. In the past, I didn't like these types of messaging programs because they require both users to be online at the same time in order to function, but these days this fits my use case better. I've heard that by using Briar, you can communicate over Bluetooth which is pretty cool

Why do people use Chromium-based browsers and act like they don't use Google products? Is it really any different?

How did some of you learn to code? My attention span is literally worse than a toddler

Are you using an HDD or an SSD currently? I haven't upgraded to an SSD yet and I was wondering how common of an upgrade this was, because everyone I know has an SSD in their desktop except me

Modern consumer-grade laptops tend to have durability issues, while business-class laptops tend to be highly durable but refurbished ones are a few generations behind. There's also smaller companies like Tuxedo, Slimbook, System76, etc that seem to make durable laptops as well. At this point, is there any mainstream consumer-grade laptop that is actually durable, or are we now limited to business and Linux laptops?

hello, I have a hifiwalker H2 and I tried to rockbox my thing but I failed and I don't understand the step. it's too confusing for me. can someone help me please. my hifiwalker h2 version is v2

Hey Hikarichanners! This thread is for people to discuss rigs and help with building rigs, and I need help pls. The only experience I had with building a compooter was watching a friend of mine build my last one, which didn't go so smoothly, so I want to just do it myself. I'll take any advice given to me, especially since I will want to use Linux (It's mainly for privacy concerns, and my building hatred for Microsoft, but I would also like to use it for gaming and probably video editing in the future). These are the components I found through PC part picker that were recommended to me from the monitor I chose. I mainly picked AMD components as people say that AMD is more compatible with Linux, also AMD parts are cheaper, and it helps fit my budget of around £1500 - £2000... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Gnwmt3 COMPONENTS CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM Cooler Motherboard - MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard Memory - Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory Storage - Kingston KC600 1.024 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage 2 - Seagate ST4000DX001 4 TB 3.5" 5900 RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive GPU – AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card Power supply - MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Optical Drive - Asus BW-16D1HT Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer Case Fan - Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap 60.09 CFM 120 mm Fan x2 Monitor - Acer Acer Nitro XV272U W2bmiiprx 27.0" 2560 x 1440 240 Hz Monitor PERIPHERALS/ACCESSORIES Keyboard - Logitech G PRO RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard Mouse – Logitech G403 HERO Wired Optical Mouse Headphones - Logitech G PRO Headset Main problem I have right now is picking out the case. I couldn't find one I liked from PC part picker, so I searched around for one and found this... CiT Classic Micro ATX PC Case and 500w PSU, Budget Friendly Office PC case | Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BFH98R2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?smid=A1ENGI3QDWM2UF&psc=1 It has USB and optical drive slots at the front which I wanted for my case, but unfortunately I don't think it will be able to fit all the components I found. I wouldn't mind downgrading so it can all fit in, as long it can run games at the monitors specs on medium settings, or just changing the PC case completely. But the maximum dimensions I can take for a PC case are 25cm w, 48cm l, 52cm h.

What was your first Linux distro? Over a decade ago, on my shitty vista laptop, I flashed Gentoo on to it, because people said it was best to start with in a chatroom I was in... I ended up figuring it out somehow though.

Recently at DebianConference '25, a convicted handholdingual predator. According to court documents, before he was eighteen, Jeremy Bicha committed "thousands of assaults". In response to the criticism of hosting a child predator while policing the political opinions of other contributors, they removed anyone from their channels who mentioned the topic. How do you feel about this situation?

hey Hikarins. i want to talk about alternative browsers: which ones you like, which ones you dislike, which ones you think are interesting, whatever. we all know about Ungoogled Chromium, Librewolf and Pale Moon, so although discussion of those browsers is fine, i really wanna see some niche stuff. bonus points for browsers that function on the modern web or browsers that have weird designs or usecases. this is also a good opportunity to talk about projects that push away from Google's domination of the browser market through Chromium and their proxy Mozilla. my browser to start this thread is Basilisk. used to be owned by the Male Poon team but now is independent. runs a similar codebase to PM but has some modern technologies like WebRTC and such. from what i can tell it seems to function fine as a modern browser, and although it's lacking in extensions/themes it has the necessities like adblock, userscripts, etc. i'd consider this as pretty independent from Google/Mozilla as far as functioning browsers go since the codebase is based on old Firefox.

What's your text editor of choice? Vim for me

what programming languages does hikari use?

Does anyone know the best software to manage subtitles and audio on a .M2TS file or other video format? I was wanting to have them named Japanese and English instead of both being "unknown"

THE next New Big Thing is a combination of dicksword, Anonymous Imageboard and Feditwittereddiverse all in one, and there's not even a signup. I don't know what it'll look like, but I do know there would be 2 parts to the site(or... webapp?), the "Agora" part, which is the "imageboard" (no redditvoting, no democracy, just posts) but has some elements from twitter and reddit, but primarily imageboard, and the "Tavern" part, which is dicksword-like, but all of this on one site/whatever-it-is. Overcoming bots would have users do or say things that bots generally can't, manually. Nothing is "automatic" Overcoming CP would have mods round the clock perpetually. The site wouldn't really have "boards", but few, with few "topics" doing 'roots' and 'vines' to others, like a web, like mycelium underground, the mesh and crisscross would be so much to the point there's no one real entry point, but all can be connected to others. twitter's organic connected posts resemble this the most.

What's your favorite programming language /t/?

i'm poasting from QubesOS. ask me anything.

Sweet who would've thought after making a "Secure" email service that rats you out to the cops and an overpriced VPN service that Proton would make a shitty AI model that shills their own products?

Any Gentoo Friends on this board? If so tell me what you love or hate about it. What USE flags do you use? In the meanwhile I will post some of my favorite Gentoo Desktops!!

Came home today to my router was a very very hot, very dead, brick. Not sure what happened, but I assume it is due to me living in a house with ancient wiring (some of the oldest parts are knob & tube, and I am afraid of ever touching that lest I awaken demons). Now I am stuck with the ISP router until I replace it. I've rather liked MikroTik products in the past, and I'm eyeballing the L009. Anyone here use it before? Any ideas for an SFP-RJ45 module that will work at 2.5Gb with it? I'm also open to other ideas for routers, and other networking gear. I just don't want Gaymer bullshit, or built in wifi.

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

People tend towards ricing their desktops, but this is really just visual stuff. What kind of touches do you have to make the computer an extension of yourself rather than collections of other peoples software? I personally set the login PAM auth settings to have rootok as sufficient. getty logins run from uid 1 so you don't have to put in a password. Unprivileged users (including ssh) can't login without the rest of the authentication modules. Having a file that gets printed whenever a shell starts as a motd is pretty useful too.

How 2 exit it?? Is it malcious software?

What kind of projects are you working/worked on /t/? Or if you're not working on something, do you have any ideas you'd like to work on? Share your progress or showcase your works

>Erying 11th Gen Tigerlake ES CPU Motherboard (roughly an 11900H) >AMD 6600M Chinkshit Franken card >2x 16TB Seagate Drives (ST16000NM000J) in striped ZFS >8x 5TB Seagate Drives (ST5000LM000) in raidz2 (keeps a monthly backup of the striped array - drives always online so the SMR has time to unfuck itself - so far works fine - only had to restore from it once and it went well) >1x cold spare of each HDD model >2x 512GB Kingston NVMe drives (one of their lowend models) for / and /home >1x 512GB Teamgroup SATA solidstate drive for /home backup >Gentoo (~amd64) as OS (this was a mistake, but I didn't feel like doing a reinstall once I switched computers) >ZFS volumes are shared via ZFS built-in NFS (I am told this is a mistake, but it works) Most of it came from my old chinkshit/aliexpress PC build, and from old computers I got for cheap though various sellers. All of the storage was lightly used, but passes monthly scrubs and checks. Mainly serve Jellyfin from it, but I am also thinking of running multiple docker instances of octoprint so I can control all of my FDM printers from it. Also have an iSCSI set up for backing up my wife's homebrew TTRPG setting.

I'm looking for a free VPS with Debian 12 Linux full admin to set up an imageboard, but I don't think there is one. I'm tired of searching, so I'd better turn to this imageboard to see what you can recommend.

Are you (Lain) on the Fediverse? (ex: Mastodon)

This is my first ricing attempt so please forgive me if i suck very bad or if this is entirely impossible, but i want to know if i could replace the pillarboxxing on this laptop with a gif or some widgets maybe? REDDIT SPACE and before you ask, yes i use arch

this is like the only picture i have currently of my xbox 360 and ps3 together. i thought they looked really cute together it's kind of like yuri..

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/

we make our own OS

I always thought these looked badass but my life is far too boring to ever need one

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)

I want to buy an mp3 player but I don't know which one is the best, so I'm asking you to help me choose one, please. I found this: https://www.amazon.fr/AGPTEK-Bluetooth-Enregistreur-Supporter-T%C3%A9l%C3%A9phone/dp/B0CKV9HDP2/ but I don't know if its true or false. xhat do you think of it?
