Do you encourage people to go to alt tech, while you continue to be using big tech yourself? +2. When somebody calls you out for using big tech even though you're against it, do you make up excuses (example: reaching out to a wider audience, waking up those still asleep, getting new followers etc)? +3. Did you consider recommending people to set up their own decentralized, federated platforms? + +If your answers are yes, yes, and no respectively, then congratulations, you're a 100% Tech Jew! + +So basically, a Tech Jew is someone who forces people into separate technologies they believe are "against the narrative" even though they're all controlled by the same people who control the big tech platforms.\ +Don't believe me?\ +Just consider the fact alone that with the exception of Rumble, every single alt tech platform uses Cuckflare, which is just as Zion as Goolag, Fakebook, and Amazon, and Rumble is using AWS, which is from Amazon, so we're full circle now.\ +How can you even take them seriously!?\ +It's having a big corpo fucking everybody in their asses, then a smaller corpo shows up and says "hey dudes, dudettes, and dude-in-drags, you should join our dope shit, we actually respect your body", but they never tell you that they rely on the cock of that very big corpo they "saved" you from in order to even be able to exist, so the only way to find out is by finding their whois information, going to their platforms over Tor (and see if you get stopped or not), read HTTP request headers, check what they require you to have in order to sign up, read their Toss (Terms of Disservice), PeePee (Privacy Policy), and Cock (Code of CONduct) pages, or otherwise experience censorship first hand (or 3rd hand if somebody gets as loudly deplatformed as Alex Jones or Joe Rogan, which are both controlled opposition Jews too by the way).\ +So you're basically being fucked in the ass by somebody else's dick, who on their turn are fucking them in their ass, and sooner or later this will become a pretty gay chain. + +And this is exactly how alt tech works too.\ +They claim to be anti-big tech, but rely on big tech infrastructure instead of just setting up your own infrastructure.\ +None of them even have a darknet mirror at all, which too is saying a lot. + +Not saying that you should avoid big tech infrastructure like a plague, somewhere down the chain there will be a big tech corpo even without your knowledge, because after all, the internet is being held together somehow.\ +This is purely regarding those who willfully choose to rely on big tech architecture, like putting your entire platform behind Cuckflare and mandatory Javascript UIs even if you don't need it.\ +And the reason why I call them "Tech Jews" is simply because all these big tech corpoes are owned and run by Jews, and Jews always stick together, and will refuse to work together with anybody else.\ +And the Jews really want to kill off as much competition and opposition as possible, and they do that by subverting real opposition and/or inventing controlled "opposition", pretending to be in opposition while in reality they're all working together. + +Fediverse and federation and/or self-hosted solutions in general (email ([not so much anymore](/blog/liberate-email-ignore-dkim/)), XMPP, IRC, Mumble, Newsgroups, BBS, and so on) is one way to make platforms that aren't Jewish owned/controlled, or otherwise use their tech and explicitely exclude them (like in the case with Mastodon, PeerTube, and Matrix).\ +The best is to have a static HTML+CSS-only (and/or Gemini) website exclusively on the darknets (Tor and I2P, though I2P is more based, but harder to have it keep working), but there's no conversation through that, which is why we have the technologies I put in the sentence above. + +But this is why you can't find me on JewTube, Shitter, Fakebook, InstantKilograms, TikTok, Gab, Parler, Gettr, so-called "TRUTH" Soycial, GC2, Mixi, Niconico Douga, Pixiv, BITCHute, Opussy/LBRY, Rumble, Twitch, OnlyFans, Vimeo, Pornhub, or any other big tech or alt tech (which rely on big tech TEEHEE) platforms, I simply don't exist there.\ +All I have are this website, [Pleroma](https://social.076.moe/ryo), PeerTube (though that one is on the way out, which is why I don't link to it), [Gitler](https://gitler.moe/ryo), email, XMPP, and IRC (which I'm planning on providing info to soon).\ +Well, you can find me on the PINE64 and The Crowhouse forums, but I stopped using the PINE64 forum a very long time ago, and I'm not as active on The Crowhouse, simply because while I did make good friends on there (and 1 troll), it's just not my type of thing anymore.\ +I joined due to our agreement on what anarchy is and how the world should be like, but in some cases (especially when it comes to technology, entertainment, and drawings) I disagree with most of them, and eventually I found my own path I branched out of, so I'm fighting this battle my own way now. + +The reason why I still don't provide my email, XMPP, and IRC information is because I'm not decided yet on whether I'll make use of [loli frog](http://6qiatzlijtqo6giwvuhex5zgg3czzwrq5g6yick3stnn4xekw26zf7qd.onion/)'s infrastructure, or set up my own.\ +And the reason for that is because email is such a bitch to set up, because iRedMail only works on Debian, which has SoystemD, and I don't want to have any servers with that, they claim to be supporting the BSDs, but any attempt at setting them up has failed so far.\ +OpenBSD has its own SMTPd (OpenBSD's own Postfix basically) service out of the box, but I still can't get it to work even after following the official fucking guide.\ +And anything related to Postfix is an absolute nightmare to set up.\ +The positive is that both Ergo (IRC) and Prosody (XMPP) are pretty easy to set up especially if you already know what you're doing. + +I already have email and XMPP, but it's on the 076 infrastructure, and I really want to make my own Tor and I2P-only ones.\ +Though I think I'll make them I2P only, Tor would be only for this blog, and thus once again I'll need to figure out why the fuck it's not working (oh hey, even more motivation to fix this crap!).\ +Or perhaps skip email altogether and go just for XMPP

+tags:technology,linux,bsd,internet +threadid: AMKpSYMDvvqpvze7e4 +---- +# Update + +> The reason why I originally called this article "Artificial "laws" have a purpose, and barely anyone is making use of it" is because I originally planned on talking about how the so-called "laws" governments are pushing are only incentivizing people to resort to going underground.\ +> Like how Luke Smith said he thanked the USSA government for incentivizing him to become a Monero hodler, because he would have otherwise spent it all long ago. +> +> But then I went very offtopic, and became a topic on how to prevent self-doxxing instead. + +Remember the whole insult "law" that got launched here in Japan?\ +Seems like it's spreading pretty rapidly, because Airstrip One, and a couple more countries implemented this same "law" too shortly after.\ +If the world was filled with chads, these types of "laws" would have served as a wake up call, an opportunity to nuke every single online account that requires a dox, and explore the superior alternatives.\ +But unfortunately, we don't live in a world of chads, we live in a world of pussies, or comfortists to keep it a bit more politically correct. + +## So what counts as a dox? + +Pretty much everything that can be used to trace back to you is a dox.\ +This includes your real name, your selfies (or profile picture of your real face), your physical address, your company name, your (mobile) phone number, copy of your ID, your credit/debit card number, and to some extend your IP address and email address. + +### Real name + +Should speak for itself.\ +Use a nickname instead, or a fake name if you need to have a first and last name.\ +Seriously, no webshop nor delivery dude will give a fuck about what your real name is, only Fakebook and Quora are this invasive! + +### Your photos + +You can actually do a reverse search, and find out who you are.\ +Super effective if you happen to have a Fakebook or Quora profile, since these 2 soytes require your real name to be doxed for the entire world to see in order to use.\ +Just use an anime waifu as your profile picture.\ +And make sure you ALWAYS delete exiv information from your real life photo's of your delicious bowl of ramen before you upload it to the internet. + +On a good operating system like any Linux distribution (minus Android and ChromeOS) or BSD variant (minus iOS and macOS), you can easily install the "exiv2" package, it should be in every distro or variant's repo's.\ +Then in the command line: + +```sh +exiv2 rm (FILENAME).jpg +``` + +Or *.jpg if you want to nuke glowdata from all your photo's in that same directory in 1 go. + +For those of you on WinDOS, macOS, Android, iOS, or ChromeOS, please refrain from posting photos online until you have access to a Linux or BSD computer with Exiv2 installed on it.\ +But then again, if you're taking this article seriously, you shouldn't be using any of these 5 proprietary shitware anyway. + +### Physical address + +If you rent out, your name is going to be attached to that address.\ +If you bought your property and/or land, then it's a matter of calling the government on your GlowPhone and demand a dox.\ +Let your packages get delivered to the nearest convenience store (or PO Box if you're in the USSA, or some questionable pick up point if you're in the Eww), again even Amazon doesn't give a fuck where you let your stuff get delivered, as long as they get the money. + +### Company + +If you run a company, I hope you have an anarcho-company (aka, one that's NOT registered with any government), otherwise your personal information is public record.\ +Otherwise make sure your online persona NEVER gets linked to that company. + +### Phone number + +Your phone number is no different from your national ID number (it's called differently in every single country), as it contains every single information on you.\ +This is exactly why I refuse to use Discucked, Telegram, Signal, LINE, and anything else that requires a phone number. + +### Copy of ID + +The only reason why you'd want to use a disservice that requires an ID would be crypto exchanges.\ +Even then, you can easily mitigate that by using Bisq instead, and TradeOgre if you already have crypto. + +### Credit/debit card + +Unless it's a prepaid card, you can be doxxed using a credit or debit card, since they're registered on your name and address.\ +Just use Monero like every single chad does.\ +Credit and debit cards are just for the slaves. + +### IP address + +Most people would probably not have to worry about that one, because your IP is most likely dynamic (unless you paid extra for a static one).\ +At least, if you're using IPv4 only, if you're using IPv6 you might already be fucked. + +But if you're still worried, use Tor, and [set up all your internet enabled software to go over Tor](https://technicalsuwako.moe/blog/all-softwear-in-tor/).\ +Article is in Japanese, but even without knowing any Japanese you could still follow along by reading the commands. + +### Email address + +This is the nonest of non-issues you'd worry about.\ +The only worry would be if you're stupid enough to use your real name as your email handle.\ +This used to be the easiest to mitigate, but then you get to face the fact that almost every single email provider nowadays requires at least some dox.\ +And if not a dox, then they'll block you if you're using Tor, or they'll use Goolag reCAPTCHA, or some other bullshit that has nothing to do with email. + +## Alternative software + +For every glowware there's a superior free (as in freedom) alternative.\ +Instead of WinDOS, macOS, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS (and to some degree Ubuntu), you can run [any](/blog/recommended-linux-distro-2/) Linux distro or BSD variant, [my favorites being Artix Linux and OpenBSD](/blog/recommended-linux-distro-3/). + +Instead of LINE, WeChat, KokoaTalk, WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessenger, Discucked, Skype, Matrix, Telegram, Signal, and whatever more we have in current year, you can use XMPP, IRC, Mumble, and/or Tox.\ +Session and DeltaChat are perhaps decent options, but they're both Electron crapps, so I'd rather jump into an active volcano instead. + +Instead of SlaveCard or Pissa, there's Monero or cash (not really software, but still).\ +Instead of smartphones there are real computers (again, not software, but will still liberate you).\ +Instead of MacBooks there are (older) ThinkPads, no really, you can easily use a 2008 ThinkPad with Linux on it as your daily driver in 2022!\ +Instead of

unavailable in Linux, and has never been available, so this rendered so much of the internet unusable.\ +Most Linux users would probably have given up and switched to WinDOS over that, but someone like me who literally had no idea there's even a WinDOS in the first place, all I thought was "sigh...yet another websoyte stopped working, just boycott it".\ +And this was made possible because IE blatantly ignored web standards, and instead adopted its own proprietary standards, this was the case with IE4, IE5, especially in IE6, though Microshaft started backing off with IE7 by adopting web standards to at least some degree. + +To add insult to injury, lots of websoytes have grown reliant on plugins like ActiveX, Flash Player, and Shockwave.\ +None of these plugins existed in Linux, though Adobe at one point finally did something unthinkable: releasing Flash Player to Linux.\ +However, by the time they did so, most websoytes were already in the process of replacing Flash Player by HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, at least the western soytes did, Japanese websoytes still stayed with Flash for a couple more years before they finally realized that web standards actually exist. + +And many Japanese websoytes also refused to let their Internet Exploiter dependency go for a very long time after the west have long switched to Furryfox and adrenoChrome, which was very frustrating.\ +This even resulted in government soytes to be inaccessible to me for most of my life (and nowadays they're inaccessible again because of their dependency on Cuckflare).\ +Yea I know, as an anarchist I don't need to even consider being able to access government soytes to be necessary, but some of their soytes are pretty useful, like the earthquake and typhoon information ones for example. + +## Goolag adrenoChrome + +After a while of IE dominance, we had a "Best vieawble in Furryfox" for a brief time, until Chrome took over, which is still the case today.\ +Lots of soytes made by hipsters who can't code and were never supposed to code in the first place use retarded technologies that should have never been invented, like Webpack, Angular/React/Vue/whatever, ECMA, and all the other bullshit all work in the latest version of Chromium and its 1000s of skins (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, Iridium.......), fewer on QtWebEngine browsers (qutebrowser, Falcon, Konqueror), much fewer of those work in Furryfox and its skins (Librewolf, Waterfox, Iceweasel, Firedragon, Icecat......), even less on Webkit browsers (Safari, Badwolf, Luakit, Epiphaty), and not at all in any of the independent (and actually good) browsers (Pale Meme, Dildo, Netsurf, Lynx, w3m). + +This time there are no buttons, but plain text notices saying something like "This websoyte only works in Goolag adrenoChrome 99 and newer or Furryfox 100 and newer", this is no different from basically saying "if you don't show me your papers, then I will deny you from entering the store", which to any reasonable person is pure fascism and pure evil, although many brainless and soulles government drones don't seem to even realize this as it was made clear over the past 3 years. + +What's worse is that more and more websoytes are growing dependent on Cuckflare or some other malicious CDN soyvice.\ +This is the direct result of their servers being unable to handle their soy apps, so instead of taking the little bit of time to make their shit more lightweight and more usable, they resort to Cuckflare, as they're in denial of the fact that they're a bunch of browser fascists.\ +And in addition to that, they're even more discriminatory by blanket banning all Tor and most VPN users.\ +This is a triple middle finger towards the people who are in big danger, political refugees, dissidents, the resistance, and people who just don't want to be tracked wherever they go. + +## The Any Browser Campaign + +All this makes me support the efforts done by the [Any Browser Campaign](https://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/).\ +A little tip I can give is that you keep the frontend code as close to web standards as possible.\ +Instead of using a bloated JS framework, just use plain HTML and CSS, and maybe some vanilla JavaScript just to make your pages a bit more interesting, but keep it sane and make sure the content of your website is fully readable and all pages are perfectly navigatable even with CSS and JavaScript disabled.\ +That way you don't need to worry whether your site doesn't work in certain browsers, always worth to check it to be sure, but I guarantee you that you'll end up spending far less time making frontends from scratch using web standards than you would using a JS-only framework.\ +It's actually ridiculous that I even have to teach you something this common sense... + +Even if you need any of these, provide alternatives.\ +For example, the comment section on this site is an iframe, but I understand that not all browsers support iframes, which is why the "Comment in SNS discussion here." link, so you can simply click that link, and still see all the comments even without frame support. + +Or for one client they wanted me to submit a select box on click, which only works with JavaScript enabled.\ +So I implemented a submit button wrapped around "noscript" so that you can still make use of that feature if JS is disabled, while those who have JS enabled won't see that button, simply because they don't need it.\ +Or the way phpBB is doing is pretty clever, as they have certain JS-only features, but if it detects you have JS disabled, it'll replace them with CSS features and/or separate HTML pages instead, so you still have a fully functioning forum software with JS disabled.\ +And I believe this should be the norm rather than the exception, because unless you make something like Goolag Maps or OpenStreetMap, or a loyve streaming soyvice, there's literally no reason to have JS as a dependency. + +By the way, it's 9/11 today, so have a nice teLOLIst day. diff --git a/src/blog/cdn-is-bad-for-year-health/index.md b/src/blog/cdn-is-bad-for-year-health/index.md index b18c802..ad9dbf9 100644 ---

going to take it down", but then they got just the enough amount of pressure from the mainstream media, tech-related news soytes, and even politicians, so that foot collapsed on itself, and Cuckflare has deplatformed Daily Stormer.\ +Later on a similar thing happened to 8chan, except instead of using "nazi's" as an excuse, they used either Qanon or pedophillia, can't remember, but it was either of the 2. + +Now the same thing happened again with Kiwifarms; Matthew refused to take it down, until he decided to take it down anyway.\ +Again after getting enough pressure. + +I should point out that Prince deplatformed Kiwifarms only 3 days after Prince [openly admitting](https://torrentfreak.com/cloudflare-rejects-role-as-internet-or-piracy-police-220901/) that deplatforming Daily Stormer and 8chan was a mistake, basically looking for forgiveness.\ +Clearly Cuckflare can't be trusted as a hosting provider, an anti-DDoS soyvice, and all the other stuff. + +Now I'm closely following the whole piracy saga, as the copyright (which is a scam) [MAFIAA](/glossary#mafiaa) worldwide is having Cuckflare in their crosshairs.\ +To bring you up to speed on this one: [Japanese Manga publishers vs Cuckflare](https://torrentfreak.com/major-manga-publishers-prepare-to-sue-cloudflare-over-pirate-sites-220131/), [Americuck MAFIAA vs

Cuckflare](https://torrentfreak.com/austrian-isps-had-no-choice-but-to-block-pirate-sites-and-cloudflare-220829/).\ +I ordered them on publishing date, but feel free to read them in any order you want. + +The reason why I'm following it is because of the striking similarities to both the Daily Stormer and Kiwifarms saga's with Cuckflare standing firm of not obeying, and then cucking out and obeying anyway.\ +So while pirates are safe with Cuckflare for now, expect it to no longer being the case really soon. + +## Don't trust any western corporation + +After having seen examples after examples of western corporations to be untrustworthy when it comes to guaranteeing free speech, it got to the point that I really can't trust any western corporation at all.\ +The biggest reason is politics.\ +In the west, politics influence business all the time.\ +Left leaning businesses (which are the vast majority of them, including all the major ones) will be deplatforming you for anything that's not in support of "the current thing", any questioning of AUTHORTAH!! will get you cancelled.\ +Right leaning businesses (usually smaller businesses, almost exclusively in the USSA) on the other hand won't deplatform you over questioning AUTHORITAH!!, but they will over drawings, anything that even remotely represents Japanese anime is enough for them to deplatform you.\ +The only European right leaning business I know of is Bitchute, but Europeans in general are once again extremely sensitive towards anything related to world war 2, plus pretty much all tech savvy people in Europe tend to be soycialists from what I've seen (there are exceptions though), making them no different from hosting with a big tech corpo.\ +However, from my experience visiting Europe a few times, there are 4 outlyers: Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, and Turkey.\ +Netherlands and Denmark are more what I would call "soycial-capitalists", while Poland and Turkey are more like "capital-soycialists".\ +And Ausjailian and New Xiland hosting providers come with the same issues as right leaning Americuck companies when it comes to drawings, although they don't seem to be as sensitive towards politics as the rest of the western world. + +Japanese corporations are only concerned about copyright (which is a scam), and almost all will blindly cuck out to the artificial "laws" (which in itself are mostly illegal anyway), but other than that as long as you keep giving them money on time, they don't really care.\ +Same is true for the rest of Asia; give them money, and they'll leave you the fuck alone.\ +Just like how CHAINA!! handled western SJW's when they were complaining about Genshin Impact; they just ghosted them, exactly how you should do. + +## What you can do instead of relying on Cuckflare + +What if I told you that everything Cuckflare has to offer can be done without them?\ +Why should you trust a corporation that is hostile towards you? + +While most people use Cuckflare for DDoS stuff, some people use them for other soyvices.\ +For DDoS mitigation, you can make sure you run decently written code on your server instead of using soyware.\ +You can easily harden the server itself, like disabling password authentication for SSH (so you must have a trusted SSL key in order to log into your server), use iptables, nftables, or ufw to limit port listening to only 80 and 443, and whatever other ports you need to be available to the public, separate your Tor and I2P mirrors from your clearnet one, host a server at your own home (more about this in a minute) so you don't have to broadcast the SSH port (and any other port you don't need to broadcast) over the entire internet at all (limit it to only be available over LAN only), disable logging (or make it only log critical errors), and so on.\ +The use of lightweight code is extremely important, as it makes a successful DDoS attack much more difficult.\ +The reason why DDoS is made possible is exactly because of soyware being so heavy on resources.\ +The clearnet server loli frog is hosting at her own residence is an 8 GiB RAM machine, and with all the websites running on it so far (which is quite a lot), the server itself uses only 150 MiB of RAM total, so good luck DDoS'ing that! + +Another thing you can do is to mimick their DDoS mitigation by having multiple servers in multiple countries across the world.\ +If one is taken down, make people point to a different server. + +For SSL certificates, just use Let's Encrypt.\ +Other than the fact that you have to renew once every 90 days, there's really nothing wrong with that. + +For web hosting, get a decent VPS hosting at a decent provider.\ +However, the problem with that is that there is no decent provider with API access these days.\ +CloudVPS/TransIP, 1984 Hosting, Cock.li, and Njalla are pretty decent providers in Europe.\ +CloudVPS and TransIP (they're the same provider nowadays), a Netherlands-based VPS hoster, provides API access, but doesn't take Monero.\ +Cock.li (Romania) and Njalla (Sweden) on the other hand take Monero, but don't provide any API's.\ +And 1984 (Iceland) provides neither.\ +The reason why API's are important is simply because I prefer to manage everything using my own custom UI, which is especially helpful if your VPS's, object storage, domains, and DNS are spread out over many different providers. + +A decent Japanese VPS hoster is ConoHa, but they don't take Monero, and on top of that are shilling hard for SDGs.\ +Plus they're using Goolag reCAPTCHA for login, and last time I had to login, they wasted 10 minutes of my time on clicking stupid boxes. + +Some of the bigger VPS hosters like Linode and Vultr all rely on Cuckflare, and especially Linode is known for deplatforming you over DMCA (which is a scam) claims, and they won't even take the time to check whether the claim is actually true or not, they just kick you no questions asked. + +You can as well get yourself a static IP address.\ +Here in Japan there's a service called Interlink that provides static IP addresses for cheap, and their IP location is pointing to one of their datacenters instead of your residence, so there's no danger in doxing your real location in this case.\ +I'm sure similar services exist in other parts of the world, and I highly recommend you look into it.\ +Apart from paying for the IP address and the usual electricity bills, you're basically hosting any spec server you want for free.\ +And even if you take the IP address fees and the usual monthly bills into account, overall it's still way cheaper than using a VPS hosting, and on top of that more censorship resistant too. + +Not really related to Cuckflare alternatives, but it does help.\ +I recommend you use OpenProvider for domain name registration.\ +They offer a huge selection of TLDs to choose from, prices are pretty low (and often provide insane discounts too, like the .site domain was literally free of charge at the time I registered it), and they don't even care if your name and address are fake.\ +They even provide options to use their addresses for TLDs that require a local address in order to register. diff --git a/src/blog/cuckflare-vs-microshaft/index.md b/src/blog/cuckflare-vs-microshaft/index.md index 56779ab..7cf483c 100644 --- a/src/blog/cuckflare-vs-microshaft/index.md +++

Web 3.0 is still being advertised to this very day, as I saw it on one of the many ads in a train, which is always filled with ads, and 100% of the time they're all a scam anyway. + +In this ocean of Web3 shills, not a single one of them noticed the fact we all created entire communities on protocols rather than platforms, that we used to make websites in HTML and CSS from the ground up typically on services like Geocities, Angelfire, and a couple of others, nobody mentions 4chan which was still created in the Web 1.0 era, or all the countless web forums that existed back then.\ +Instead they only show Wikipedia, a service that didn't even exist during the Web 1.0 era...

+Except, they're no solutions.\ +Every single solution so far aims at fixing their problems while at the same time creating even more problems.\ +Just for some simple examples: + +Left wing commies have a problem with ads, trackers, and discrimination, so they set up websites with no ads and trackers, but are incredibly discriminatory towards certain groups of people and businesses in general.\ +What they ultimately want is a walled down echo chamber for themselves and their 2 or so friends, where each person has 200 different sockpuppet accounts each just agreeing with each other all the

domains, Cuckflare CDN, Amazon AWS, and what not.\ +Even if you use other providers or become your own provider, you'll still need to deal with SSL certificates which are defacto mandatory now and the CA can kick you off (simple solution: get a certificate somewhere else), DNS providers who can kick you off, VPS providers who can kick you off (looking at you, LINODE!!), NIC services which are only a handful of them and all controlled by the same entity in the end (which is why the UN already conspired to kick off websites they don't like), and on a bad day you might face problems like mandatory JavaScript, cookies, websoytes optimized for smartphones only, soycial media buttons, ads, trackers, paywalls, cookie walls, among other insanities.\ +Make no mistake, this is all deliberate, they really want you to stop making your own websites and rely on just a handful soycial media platforms instead.\ +And the so-called "resistance" will find themselves on just as centralized platforms all on Cuckflare's MITM botnet, and Cuckflare is a CIA honeypot. + +Meanwhile, the darknet doesn't have any of these problems.\ +They might have all the "bad day" stuff I mentioned above, but none of the stuff that can get you kicked off, maybe except if you're facing a power outage, but no big deal, you can still get your server back online with all the contents on it even after many months like you might have seen with this very website throughout the entirety of this year's summer. + +All you need is an old computer you used to use as a daily driver with an ethernet port, a stable and sane OS (I recommend either Devuan or OpenBSD for servers), and at the very least some basic HTML, CSS, and RSS/Atom skills.\ +Maybe you want to set up something like a mail server, XMPP server, IRC server, newsgroup server, or whatnot on that same machine that's accessible over the darknet only, but let's focus on just websites first.\ +Install the OS, install nginx, tor, and i2pd, keep these fuckers up to date, and make something in HTML and CSS.\ +You don't need to make something fancy, and you absolutely don't want to make a spaceship, even something as simple as a black background with white letters and just links (instead of buttons) is enough, as long as the content is worth reading.\ +All this so-called "modern way of making websoytes" was deliberately designed to make you think that making your own website is an absolute pain in the ass, and thus you're better off just creating a Fakebook account and a JewTube channel, but you really don't have to make "modern" websoytes at all in order to let people know what you have to say.\ +In fact, making your own website is so easy, even your grandma can do it, and perhaps she might change her pronouns from "she/her" to "anonymous/hacker" if she'd make her secret recipes in pure HTML and CSS. + +Alright Ryo-kun, that's all nice and well, but how about content distribution?\ +How do I let people know I posted something on my own website without soycial media?\ +This is where RSS or Atom comes into play.\ +We nerds used to use RSS feeds all the time until the normies started flooding themselves into the internet space, and ~~forces all of us~~ decided we should use soycial media instead.\ +You can either make it manually or automatically, though if you make HTML and CSS by hand, you will likely have to make RSS and Atom by hand as well.\ +Just like how you can configure web browsers to go over Tor or I2P, you can configure your RSS reader to go over Tor or I2P, and if not, you can just prefix them with proxychains. + +But Ryo-kun, how about comments?\ +I want to communicate with my audience!\ +You could add some bits of PHP or JavaScript and MySQL to the mix once you're more comfortable running a static website, it can be easily done in just a few lines of code (if you're not using any frameworks at all that is, because if you do it'll takes billions of lines of code before you even start developing anything at all).\ +Alternatively, and for the purpose of this blog, we could set up an XMPP or IRC server for instant messaging, or a newsgroup server which is what we used to use before forums (and now they've kind of been taken over by pirates), or a mailing list, so you can just use whatever email address you already have.\ +Just like a static website in HTML and little bits of CSS, none of these should take up lots of space, and since they're all self hostable, none of these can be censored. + +Nice and everything, but why should we self host?\ +Why can't I just pay some ultra rich investor to create platforms for me?\ +Well, just look at how it went with Gab, MeWe, Minds, Locals, BITCHute, Opussy, Rumble, BrandNewTube, GETTR, Parler, and the list goes on and on.\

7.4 is EOL since last month), on top of that they both are made using a framework (therefore, the PHP code is fake on top of all that), very anal to install, though at least JS is not required which is already an improvement +* PeerTube: JS (NodeJS), PostgreSQL, JS required, not that hard to install but updates can still destroy the instance +* Hubzilla: it's that fake PHP (aka, PHP framework)

We need to try this shit out, let's make our dystopian mark of the beast system open source then!", and so they did.\ +For example, Microshaft came with Visual Studio Code, which even admits it's OSS and not FOSS.\ +Goolag already did that before them with Goolag Android (so not Android AOSP), Chromium, and so on.\ +The thing is, all of these still contain lots of spyware, they still send lots of telemetry, they still phone home all the time.\ +Sure, they all have versions that strip this shit out, but would you really trust it?\ +The 2 corpo's are still the ones calling the shots, and as Luke Smith famously said it, it only takes 1 line of code to completely compremise your entire system, and [a litteral attempts by the glowniggers](https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2013/10/09/the-linux-backdoor-attempt-of-2003/) proves he's right.\ +Other 2 known attempts include [this](https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2013/09/20/software-transparency-debian-openssl-bug/) and [this](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/11/nsa-ask-linus-torvalds-include-backdoors-linux-father-says-yes).\ +Also, did you know that all these massive OSS projects by big corporations all include an EULA you have to agree to in order to use the software?\ +This is something that never happens with FOSS projects at all. + +FOSS on the other hand stands for free and open source software, because as I already said, free software comes with open source by default, but open source software doesn't necessarily come with freedom by default, and there's no way to actually enforce that too.\ +So with corporations gradually swapping their proprietary boots for open source boots to stamp on our heads for all eternity with, this distinction between OSS and FOSS had to be made.\ +FOSS software is software that actually respects your freedom, which automatically respects your privacy, human rights, and the right to inspect, fork, modity, and redistribute the source code too, this is all synonymous to one other when it comes to software.\ +Which is literally impossible if you have an all-in-one solution (like SoystemD) that also includes telemetry and backdoors (like SoystemD) with a bloated codebase (like SoystemD), and blatantly goes against the UNIX phylosophy (like SoystemD), and doesn't have a phylosophy of its own (like SoystemD), and by that just tries to be a jack of all trades and a master of none (like SoystemD).\ +And the word "SoystemD" can be swapped with "Chromium", "Visual Studio Code", "WinDOS", "macOS", "WordPress", and other OSS/proprietary soyware of choice by the way.\ +Sure, with the exception of WinDOS (macOS is mixed source though), all of them are open source, but the question is, are you willing to get through their massive codebases just to make sure that it respects user freedom? + +As for FLOSS, it's basically the same as FOSS, but just making it clear that it's all about respecting user freedom by adding "libre", because in English if you say "free software", it might be confused as "pirated software" (which is really just sharing software Robin Hood style) or "software that is free of charge" (which is either Freeware or Freemium or Free to Play, depending on the earning model). + +And proprietary software is all the software that has an EULA, is or isn't open source, has a copyright (which is a scam), and basically you can never own (the closest would be owning a license, which is not owning the software, it's permission to use a software). + +I run Artix Linux on my ThinkPads, and I'll get another ThinkPad to run OpenBSD on, plus I'm running GhostBSD on an old MacBook Pro, Devuan on my darknet-only server, Mobian on a PinePhone and Surface tablet (and I really need to replace them, I only use Mobian on these because there's no good non-SoystemD distro for PinePhone, and the Surface Pro tablet is just extremely picky as it seemingly can't read any Live USB that isn't either Mobian or Ubuntu, and on Artix I can't get the WiFi drivers to work).\ +With the exception of Mobian, they're all SoystemD-free, and even though I've never written a single line of code for any of these OSs, I actually own them, because the GPL license (and also the BSD license for OpenBSD and GhostBSD) says so.\ +Likewise, if you're using WinDOS, macOS, Chrome OS, iOS, or Goolag Android, you're not owning them, you merely have permission to use them.\ +Microshaft, Crappy, and Goolag all make that very clear in their EULA's. + +And because they are the owners and not you, they preserve the right to finger their systems whenever the fuck they want to, whether you like it or not, and since the first WinDOS version with WinDOS Updates (WinDOS XP I believe?

understand for beginners".\ +This too is quite a bullshit claim, instances like mastodon.soycial/.online, mstdn.jp, Pawoo, and many more have all been welcoming beginners to the Fediverse at one point, and not even once I've seen them complaining about a federated SNS being difficult to understand.\ +Sure, it's quite a new concept if you're a zoomer who only knows Shitter, JewTube, Discucked, TikTok, and Instantkilograms, and perhaps never used email before with addresses that aren't on GayMail.\ +But even they got a hang of it a few days later, and it all become a non-issue. + +Fediverse aside, there have been many different things that used to have a higher barrier of entry, then somebody stepped in in the attempt to make it all more "beginner friendly", which only destroyed everything. + +One such example is the internet itself.\ +To even get on the internet you had to know to do so, technical skills were a must.\ +Then it all became super easy, the mainstream came in, and now it's all either big corporations, or music labels who refuse to learn to code, or deranged lunatics getting offended by literally everything, all of which have introduced Orwellian censorship and spying, and now they're all as unhappy as all the rest of us are.\ +All the veterans have been pushed in the corner so much, it's a matter of time before the boundaries break, and we veterans just fall out of it. + +Another example is Linux.\ +Before Ubuntu you had to have technical knowledge in order to use it.\ +Then Ubuntu came along which made it easy for newcomers to get in, and now we have Flatpaks and Snaps for the total newcomers, which have destroyed the environment for both the newbies, and veterans.\ +Luckily the independent distro's like Arch/Artix, Debian/Devuan, Gentoo,

+tags:technology,internet,server +threadid: ANabNdTTwrCW4KA1Ee +---- +There's a lot wrong about centralization.\ +I've already said enough about Cuckflare, and this article is about VPS providers, so I'll not talk about them this time.\ +I only mentioned them because of their very centralizing powers. + +What is equally a problem is AWS (Amazon Web Soyvice, or some shit).\ +Here in Japan, every single company is hopping on the AWS bandwagon, even web hosting companies that previously hosted all their servers at datacenters or even at their own offices now all host on either AWS, or GMO, or Sakura Cloud.\ +This is an extremely dangerous move, as you're willingly putting the entire internet in the hands of only 3 corporations. + +## Problem with Amazon AWS + +It's Amazon, guess I don't need to explain any further. + +## Problem with GMO Internet Group + +Apart of their name, [they're all in](https://www.gmo.jp/csr/) on the [SDGs scam](/blog/sdgs-dangerous/).\ +That page alone confirms they're all about GMO food (TEEHEE!!), indoctrination, the end of the nuclear family, financial slavery, ban on personal transportation, forced consent, and centrally controlled economy (most relevant to this topic).\ +None of which has anything to do with technology, web hosting, domain name registration, or anything else.\ +New World Order on full display, GMO Internet Group is pure evil! + +Some of 076's infrastructure is hosted with GMO (ConoHa), and we're working on moving them all to local servers.\ +More on local servers in a bit. + +## Problem with SAKURA internet + +While I can't find any evidence of them cucking out for Satan Klaus in my 5 second long research, they do seem to very proudly boast the [\*aaS scam](/scams/whateverasaservice/), in this case the scam is IaaS (Internet as a Disservice?). + +## Problem with other big VPS providers + +These aren't the only problematic corpo's.\ +Others include Bluehost, Vultr, Linode, HostGator, and so on.\ +But since I only have experience with Vultr and Linode, I'll only mention these 2. + +### Problem with Linode + +They have a track record of deplatforming entire servers over baseless claims, plus they use Cuckflare. + +### Problem with Vultr + +They too use Cuckflare, and any complaints about it gets dismissed because "we do not undo security meassures", which is ironic because Cuckflare makes your stuff less secure.\ +I should add that every time I tell an unpopular opinion (mostly unpopular to the mainstream, but often unpopular to non-mainstream as well), everyone tells me to fuck off, they refuse to listen, and yet I get proven right pretty much every single time, because as soon as ideology challenges reality for a fight, reality ALWAYS wins. + +## Nobody is your friend + +As you can see, none of the VPS providers is your best friend.\ +At least, none of the big ones that is.\ +There are some decent smaller options, more on that in a minute. + +## The DNS dillema + +I originally didn't plan on including this section here, but [as I was discussing it on SNS](https://social.076.ne.jp/notice/ANZQ9t7DhoPTs11uXQ), I think it does have added value.\ +There is no "decentralized registrar", as everything ultimately points to ICANN one way or the other.\ +And every ISP makes their DNS compatible with that too. + +Although you can technically make it decentralized, which involves people setting up their own DNS servers and invent their own TLDs, and have something somehow cross-reference all the DNS servers to each other.\ +That way not only you have full control over the content and the SLD, but also the TLD.\ +So once you have full control over TLD, we actually have a way to stop censorship. + +## Solutions + +Fortunately, there are ways to solve the problem. + +### Solution 1: Static IP and home server + +This is my 2nd best recommendation.\ +Just take a Raspberry Pi, hook it up to a router with a static IP address, and you have free server hosting really!\ +I talked a lot about Interlink before, the same company that manages the .moe TLDs.\ +However, most of my readers are outside of Japan, so I can't recommend Interlink to any overseas people.\ +But basically, find a static IP seller that doesn't cost much.\ +You can already disgard your ISP, as 9 out of 10 of them will demand fortunes every single month. + +#### Pros + +Hard to take you down, and even impossible if you use a custom DNS.\ +The only way to take you down will be through a DDoS attack, but I already talked about that [here](/blog/cuckflare-is-not-neutral-again/) under "What you can do instead of relying on Cuckflare".\ +But tl;dr, don't use too much soy (preferrably none at all), and make sure you have good enough specs hardware to handle lots of requests. + +Also, by hosting your own server, you're in control of your own server, and not some shady corpo that can just shut your server down from the VM control panel.\ +I have worked with XenServer before, so don't tell me it's a conspiracy theory, as I literally had full control over all the VPS's running on a single server 12 years ago. + +It's also possible to harden the server to reduce possible attack vectors like SSH, FTP, and whatnot (so make these ports available over LAN-only. + +#### Cons + +Acquiring a static IP can be pretty expensive if you don't do any thorough research first.\ +Cheap providers do exist, you only have to find them. + +Your IP location is very likely doxxed to the entire world.\ +The good thing about Interlink is that they ASSign the IP location to one of their datacenters, so it doesn't even come close to your real location. + +Electricity bills might be a problem (especially if you're living in the Eww).\ +Not a problem if your server is a Raspberry Pi, or some other machine that doesn't demand much power (like a lower end CPU or a basic GPU chipset, or both), but it also depends on what kind of stuff you decide to run on your server. + +### Solution 2: Darknet (Tor and I2P) + +The darknet is my very best recommendation, it's the safest, most free (both as in freedom and money), and easiest to set up. + +#### Pros + +Darknet is impossible to censor.\ +Just like with a static IP, you control the server.\ +Likewise, hardening the network to reduce attack vectors is possible. + +#### Cons + +It's hard to advertise long hashes with .onion or .b32.i2p at the end.\ +Tor network can be slow, and new I2P Eepsites will take long before they're accessible.\ +Just like with a static IP, there are electricity bills to be paid. + + +### Solution 3: Get a VPS at a small company (least recommended) + +#### Pros + +They (most likely) didn't bend the knee to the New World Order (yet).\ +The IP location is guaranteed to not be your real location.\ +No bottleneck on electricity bills.\ +You support small businesses by hosting with them. + +#### Cons + +Most of them will still cuck out to court, government, or outrage mob orders to kick you off.\ +Server specs are lower end, which is a non-issue for personal websites generated using a static website generator (or made by hand), but most people are soydevs or use soydev products, so they need very high end VPSs.\ +You most likely have to give them your private information, so it's more dangerous than knowing your IP location, because at least an IP location can be inaccurate, but personal information is clear as day.\ +They are still volunerable to bait and switch, for example them being anti-Cuckflare until they aren't. diff --git

getting rid of guns will remove evil.\ +Sure, a gun is used for evil (wars, murder, robbery), but it's also used for good (protecting your property from criminals, preventing government overreach).\ +And the same is true for technology; it can be used for evil (digital ID, CBDCs, mass surveillance), but it can also be used for good (waking up to the fact you're living under a tyrannical regime, establishment of a parallel economy when shit hits the fan). + +Many people chose to give up on their guns, and then tyranny kicked in.\ +Likewise, people might choose to live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere and never interact with technology ever again, and then they suddenly find themselves in the middle of a warzone with skies filled with drones and grounds filled with robo-military and all that, and can't figure out what the fuck is going on, and where to flee to now, or get weapons to fight them all off.\ +As a tech guy, I do recognize that technology has brought lots of evil to the world, but they also brought lots of improvements.\ +Technology is here to stay no matter what, so it's better to turn technology into something that improves quality of life rather than just letting quality of life get destroyed while you move to the middle of nowhere, because the technocratic tyranny will come to you eventually.\ +You can hide somewhere in the jungle inbetween mountains, sure it's beautiful, but eventually the government will find you if you allow technology to be turned to evil by running away from it.\ +If they want to get you, they will. + +Which is why instead of giving up on tech completely and ignoring the fact that technology exists, I think it's better to reclaim technology, cause a chain effect, so you can prevent a total takeover from happening.\ +Of course you can't liberate technology 100%, but every tiny input you give counts. + +Does soycial media turn the internet into a dystopia? Make your own Fediverse instances.\ +Does the normie internet go full blown JavaScript-required, AWS, CuckFlare, Discucked in order to communicate? Make your own website on a more independent network (or darknet, so it's completely independent).\ +Is the gaming industry going beyond wokeness? Make your own games.\ +Can't buy food with fiat because banks cancelled you, and cash no longer exists? Use crypto.\ +Can't use the internet because you don't have a digital ID? Use the darknet. + +Technology gives you many little things you can do to prevent or delay the NWO takeover from happening, and you don't need a massive crowd for that to happen.\ +Even a small minority of anonymous hackers that resist the NWO internet is enough for their dystopian plans to fail.\ +Being able to code is really an extremely valuable skill too many people forget about.\ +Being able to make software is like being a digital kami-sama, or God, or Allah, or however you want to call it.\ +And as long as technology can still be used for good, hopes aren't lost.\ +We have to be thankful for the Free Software movement in the 80's and 90's, because without them we'd already be living under a digital tyranny the day the PAT-RIOT act got introduced 21 years ago, we'd already

note PC, and while using it for a while, I honestly notice no difference at all between that note PC and the other note PC from 2016, same brand, same Linux distro, same window manager, same applications, just 10 years difference as to when they were released.\ +But same experience.\ +Why is that?\ +Wouldn't I get far better performance on the 2016 note PC?\ +Nope, performance is the same.\ +This is because modern laptops are just a scam. + +## Processor + +All IntHell processors made in 2008 or later all come with the IntHell Management Engine, and all AMD processors made after 2013 or later all come with the AMD Platform Soycurity Processor, although [you can allgedly "disable" the latter one now](https://hozon.site/archive/1662816002/www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-PSP-Disable-Option.html) (it's proprietary, so I'm still suspicious).\ +Any processor before that don't have it, they did have something else in its place, but the free software community has long overcome that, so it's no longer an issue.\ +As a result, old laptops can be Librebooted, whereas modern ones cannot. + +Also, the best Core 2 processor, a Core 2 Extreme QX9775, is a 3.2 GHz processor, whereas the best Core i processor, the Core i9 12900KS, is a 3.4 GHz processor.\ +The QX9775 came out in March 2008, the 12900KS came out in April 2022.\ +So if in 14 years time we only managed to move up by 200 MHz, then what the fuck is even the point of getting the latest processor!? + +## RAM + +RAM on the other hand is one area that kept on evolving, but that has more to do with the constantly more hardware demanding soydevs that just take hardware for granted, very unlike how we used to program in the past, when we were challenged to squeeze out as much performance as we possibly could while on limited hardware.\ +But still, you can take an old ThinkPad, and put a 16 GiB DDR3 thing into it, and it's like a current year ThinkPad.\ +Yes, the norm is 64 GiB now in the soydev world, so they'll ridicule you for having anything lower than that, but unless you need to use soyware, 8 GiB is more than enough, which is what my 2006 laptop currently has.\ +I never hit higher than 4 GiB on that thing, simply because I never need that.\ +For every soyapp there's a chad terminal app that does the exact same thing in a far more sustainable and environment friendly way (by not having JavaScript or Electron or Webpack, or some other unwanted bloat). + +## Disk space + +Another area that didn't evolve much.\ +But fair enough, if the idea is to turn computers into basically dumb thin clients so that you're obligated to have fiber internet access in order to connect to "The Cloud" (which means somebody else's computer) in order to even use it, then you don't need to have much disk space.\ +But those of us who prefer to maintain technological freedom (which includes 100% of this blog's regular readers, because that's the main subject of this blog) will want to have lots of space. + +And honestly, we we went up from 64 KiB all the way to 2 TiB very rapidly, but since then it seemed to have been stuck at that.\ +Over time we managed to push a bit further into the 4 TiB area, but I haven't seen anything higher than that.\ +2 TiB is what we already accomplished in 2012 or some shit, and you can plug them into old laptops perfectly fine, as long as they have a SATA connector instead of IDE. + +The only true difference is between an HDD and SSD.\ +Nowadays we also have the NVMe, but honestly there's not much difference in performance from SSD, maybe they're a tiny bit faster, but that's all there is.\ +Performance differences between SSD and HDD on the other hand is clear as day, and literally noticeable from the moment you press the power button. + +## Graphics + +New video cards come out all the time, but unless you're a gaymer or a crypto miner, you don't need to worry about this one at all.\ +If all you do is coding/programming, text editing, browsing the (good) web, and so on, even the crappiest IntHell HD Graphics chipset is good enough.\ +And I heard from a JewTuber that he's still using an NVIDIA 1080Ti to play the latest PC gaymes at high settings without any issues, a GPU released back in 2017.\ +So again, unless you're playing the latest AAA PC gaymes (which is all woke garbage anyway) or you're mining crypto ([and perhaps Europeans will soon stop doing that due to their increased elecriticity bills](https://social.076.ne.jp/notice/ANPhbGITNg6fE1KgYi)), do you really need a high-end graphics card just to browse the internet?\ +Maybe, because clown world and the soydevs it created. + +## Repairability + +Remember the days you could just unscrew 1 screw, and replace whatever hardware you want?\ +I do, and it used to be the norm!\ +Nowadays not only you have to unscrew a fuckton of screws, you're required to have a special screwdriver too, you have to remove the glue, you have to be careful to not destroy ribbon cables, you have to use one or more old credit cards or have your hands cut off.\ +And once you finally get it opened up, you'll realize that all components are soldered on, and you have no idea which part is the RAM, which part is the SSD, and all other shit.\ +So basically, all you can do is just throw it away, create more eWaste, and buy a new computer. + +This was my exact experience when trying to repair a 2018 IdeaPad which broke last year.\ +After all this, I thought to myself "this was the last time I bought a new laptop, so from now on I'll only ever buy old computers".\ +I stuck to that promise, and bought a 2016 ThinkPad, and later I bought a 2006 ThinkPad.\ +My 2016 ThinkPad still works, but my 2006 one is now my daily driver, especially since it's Librebootable.\ +In fact, I'm even writing and publishing this very article from my 2006 ThinkPad, all without any issues whatsoever! + +## Sustainability + +Older laptops (especially ThinkPads) were designed to last forever.\ +Take any ThinkPad from the late 2000's, whether from IBM or Lenovo I don't care, take any ThinkPad from the early to mid 2010's, and take any ThinkPad from late 2010's to current year or any normie laptop from early-mid 2010's to current year.\ +The latter ones will break the moment the warranty expires.\ +This is even more true for those laptops that have their hardware components soldered on to them, which is more and more common even among ThinkPads in current year. + +Older ThinkPads don't have this problem.\ +Did RAM break? Replace the RAM!\ +Did you spill soda over your keyboard? Replace the keyboard.\ +Literally impossible with current year laptops! + +Because new laptops are all designed to break over time like a ticking time bomb.\ +You're supposed to consoom more, slave! + +Old laptops, especially those made in 2008 and before (or 2011 and before if it's an AMD processor) on the other hand are made to last.\ +Well, not all of them, the consoomer laptops were already ticking time bombs, but the business lines were the ones that kept on running forever. + +And now you have the globalists complaining that the world is not sustainable, and are now advertising sustainability on some of the least sustainable websoytes I've ever seen.\ +Seriously, their "cloymet friendly" websoytes waste far more electricity than my website, and I don't even try to make it use less, it just does because I know what the fuck I'm doing, and I don't have an agenda to make your hardware obsolete quicker so that you have to buy new computers quicker, while they do! + +## Verdict + +So with that all said, I just wonder why the fuck should I put myself into the position to buy a new overpriced computer once every year, if I can as well just buy an old laptop, Libreboot

+I2P is now my new best friend, sorry Tor. + +Those of you reading on I2P will not need an introduction (because you're already using it), but for those reading on Tor, I2P is a darknet just like Tor.\ +However, there are quite some differences and similarities. + +The biggest difference I2P notes is that Tor was developed by the USSA military, whereas I2P was developed by a group of regular civilians. + +## Speed + +The first thing you might notice is the connection speed.\ +Tor is extremely slow, whereas I2P is actually surprisingly fast.\ +This is because Tor relies on 3 different nodes you're going through, and the vast majority of the nodes are in Europe, so Tor might be loading decently fast if you're also located in Europe, but for those of us in the extreme east of Asia, the loading times are a pain in the asshole.\ +Not really researched the garlic routing as thoroughly yet, but while the official explanation is that it goes over random numbers of nearby nodes, to me it feels more like a more direct connection between client and server, just like on the clearnet, except without all of the bureaucratic bullshit like DNS, domain registrars, SSL and their CA's, doxing of your IP address, and so on. + +## Accessibility + +Both require you to set up a proxy and a daemon.\ +For Tor use a SOCKS5 proxy with 127.0.0.1:9050, install the `tor` package from your distro's repo.\ +For I2P use an HTTP proxy with 127.0.0.1:4444 (SOCKS5 is port 4447, but address helper apparently only works over HTTP), install the `i2pd` package from your distro's repo if you're on a based Linux distro like Artix or Gentoo, or a BaSeD OS like FreeBSD or OpenBSD, but if you're on something more vaginal like Debian (or anything based off that) or any RPM-based distro, it's suggested you download and compile the latest version of i2pd from source yourself. + +Tor Project provides entire browsers to make it easier to access it, so I2P is much more of a nerd-only network, whereas Tor is more a nerd-and-criminal-dominant network with more and more normies finding their way into it. + +## Backwards compatibility + +Tor is a kind of an extension of the clearnet, as it can access the entirety of the clearnet (unless it's Cuckflared or otherwise blocked, like 95% of the entire clearnet), so it's perfectly suitable as an anonymous (and free of charge) VPN too.\ +I2P on the other hand is more like an entirely separate internet as it has no access to the clearnet or Onion routing, so it's either I2P or GTFO.\ +I think this is actually a good idea, considering that us nerds actually get a separate space for great stuff again that's actually more resiliant towards subversion.\ +But you most likely still need to use the clearnet, so best is to have a separate browser for just I2P, in my case I chose to use GNU IceCat for that, since it's the only Furryfox-based browser on my Artix machine that was still left unused.\ +Although I had to disable the "Force HTTPS" extension to prevent it from using Eepsites over HTTPS, which it just doesn't support. + +## Discoverability + +Discoverablity is definitely easier on I2P.\ +You can register your own easy to remember domain, and find others on the same Eepsite where you register your domain ([http://reg.i2p/]()).\ +It provides a list of available Eepsites, an address helper, and a description, so no need for a search engine, the entire network can be found from 1 database. + +On the other hand, Tor hidden services is pretty hard to find, well duh, these are hidden services for a reason!\ +So the use of webrings and linking to each other like in the Web 1.0 era is more important on Tor.\ +However, you can set up your clearnet site to redirect Tor users to Tor as explained by loli frog ([Clearnet](https://technicalsuwako.moe/blog/automatic-nginx-tor-redirect/), [Tilde](https://tilde.club/~technicalsuwako/blog/automatic-nginx-tor-redirect/), [Tor](http://6qiatzlijtqo6giwvuhex5zgg3czzwrq5g6yick3stnn4xekw26zf7qd.onion/blog/automatic-nginx-tor-redirect/), [I2P](http://technicalsuwako.i2p/blog/automatic-nginx-tor-redirect/)), which helps a bit with discoverability. + +## Ease of self hosting + +Ever tried to self host a website at home?\ +It can be quite a pain in the asshole.\ +You need a static IP address, then you need a domain registrar, a DNS (or use theirs), an SSL certificate (just use Let's Encrypt), and now your IP address is known to the entire world.\ +Now download some Torrents, and you might possibly expect some glowniggers at your doorstep. + +Not the case with Tor and I2P.\ +Both of them are extremely simple to set up and host without getting caught, or even your ISP knowing about it, although Tor is the easier one of the 2.\ +Tor is literally just add a few lines to the config, and restart the service.\ +I2P is like that too, but it's getting a bit more complicated once you go a step further by requesting an actual domain name.\ +This process is still miles easier than on the clearnet, though keep in mind you need to use an HTTP proxy for the address helper to work, something the official manual doesn't even mention anywhere, and the reason why I couldn't get my own domain to work. + +## Language + +Tor is written in C, and has always been C.\ +However, in September of current year the Tor Project has announced to be rewriting the daemon to Rust, during the same period the Linux kernel started going Rust too. + +I2P on the other hand is originally written in Java.\ +However, a C++ implementation exists called "i2pd", and it's officially recognized by the I2P people too.\ +If it wasn't for i2pd, I wouldn't be looking into the I2P network at all, so they deserve quite a lot of credit. + +## VerDICKt + +As I said, I2P is my new best friend.\ +That doesn't mean I hate Tor now, in fact I like both a whole lot, it's just that I2P is better.\ +I'd say on a scale between 0 and 100, clearnet would be a 10, Tor an 90, and I2P a 100.\ +I'd say things like Lokinet, Zeronet, Freenet, IPFS, and the others would go somewhere between clearnet and Tor, because while those are still way better than the clearnet, they're all still inferior towards Tor and I2P. diff --git a/src/blog/if-websites-were-homes/index.md b/src/blog/if-websites-were-homes/index.md new file mode 100644

comes to servers.\ +If I like FreeBSD enough, then maybe it'll be time to change from Linux to BSD. + +Debian is a mess because of SoystemD, Devuan is a mess due to the lack of SoystemD (because so many web applications are designed with SoystemD in mind), and OpenBSD feels just right, it has its own webserver, SMTP server, and other awesome tools as part of the OS (only disabled by default), and since these are tools developed by the same team, they work great with one other.\ +On the Artix side of things, I still like the distro, still having 0 problems with that, and I'm planning on continuing to use it.\ +The problem I'm having isn't necessarily the distro's or Linux itself, Linux will forever have a special place in my heart because I grew up with it, up to middle school I didn't even know anything other than Linux, which by itself is quite a deal considering I happen to grew up in a very Microshaft-centric island nation in the far east of Asia, but it's all thanks to the fact my father was a system administrator having to deal with all sorts of operating systems throughout his carreer.\ +If you wonder why "was", he's retired, it's an old guy after all. + +But anyway, I'm going too much offtopic.\ +I thought of changing to BSD because my experience with OpenBSD on servers has been way nicer, and my bit of experience with FreeBSD until the laptop's battery died was very nice too.\ +It's just like what Unix Sheikh said, BSD feels like a complete operating system (because it is) where everything clicks, whereas Linux feels more like a bunch of lego blocks being glued togetheer by a distro.\ +Well, the strong point of Linux is that it's so modular, so you can simply replace each individual part for another one.\ +On the other hand, [this can sometimes result in some pretty loony bugs](https://xkcd.com/2700/). + +The other reason is Richard Stallman, he's right on everything when it comes to technology, but a total idiot when it comes to everything else.\ +The GNU project served its purpose well, but [the core utils are just bloat](https://youtube.076.ne.jp/watch?v=v4_RlOwhkII), powerful, but bloat. + +And another reason is Linus Torvalds, he used to be really based in the old days, but then a troon successfully managed to destroy him so much that he took a break for a couple of months.\ +But when he came back, it just wasn't the same guy anymore.\ +Back in 2010 he admitted that the Linux kernel was a bloated mess, and we need to make it smaller, and then post troon-bullying he decided that bloat doesn't matter because "hardware got faster", as a user of decades old hardware myself, this alone hurts a lot.\ +Then he lashed out at somebody who rightfully so was concerned about enforcing statist propaganda at an event where it doesn't belong, Torvald's response was to [just shut the fuck up and get poisoned](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27466344) like a good government slave.\ +[I wonder if he regrets having sad that by now](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/covid-response-forgiveness/671879/), and now, anyone who supported this PROPRIETARY!! poison jab, forced wearing of face diapers, and the

awakening, but after a series of real life events with these covAIDS cultists in and around Tokyo, I decided that they too fucked up forever (which is also why I refuse to give NomadBSD and NetBSD any hope).\ +The final nail in the coffin was the addition of Rust into the kernel.\ +I don't like or dislike Rust as a language, simply because I never even worked with it, but I do believe that Rust should be kept in userland, it has no place in the kernel, the kernel shall remain purely C.\ +ASM should be better, but given the many architectures the kernel has to support combined with the lines of code, it might be unrealistic. + +Oh yea, corporations having infiltrated Linux is yet another reason for me to go to BSD.\ +The Linux folks no longer seems to be serving a mission of having a free and open source world, a bunch of them are now there to serve globohomo big tech agendas.\ +The [open letter](https://hozon.site/archive/1669428768/lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/12/459.html) drops some great redpills. +Unless you're using a distro without SoystemD, using Linux no longer feels like running a free and open source alternative to proprietary peasant OS's, it now feels more like running a freeware version of those proprietary peasant OS's.\ +So if you really want to stay on Linux, at the very least run some distro that's openly against SoystemD like Artix or Devuan.\ +Void is nice, but they're not explicitely against SoystemD, they only don't use it because musl doesn't work with SoystemD.\ +Gentoo is another nice one, but only the OpenRC version, they also have a SoystemD version, so be careful with that one.\ +I heard some good words on Obarun, which is another Arch-based SoystemD-free distro, but from the 5 minutes of their forums I've seen that not only do they spend their time mocking Arch, they are mocking Artix as well.\ +I wouldn't recommend antiX simply [because of their left wing extremist agenda](http://kphht2jcflojtqte4b4kyx7p2ahagv4debjj32nre67dxz7y57seqwyd.onion/r/linuxquestions/comments/ojadcw/antifascist_antix_distro/). + +As much as I'd prefer the forever Linux additude, this proves once again that there is no such a thing as "forever".\ +Eventually it's going to be time to change ship as it's starting to form holes at some point in time.\ +And I guess the red devil and yellow fugu are going to be my new friends rather than the penguin with its pink spiral/not so pink boomerang, blue triangle(s), orange circles, green rectangles, silver fish, or whatever mascot your distro of choice is using.\ +And while the BSDs are much more resistant to such bullshit, it's always a good idea to prepare to eventually be switching to Plan 9, AT&T UNIX, TempleOS, MikeOS, or even FreeBSD and one of its forks with a GUI (yes, these actually exist). + +Oh well, enough ranting, I guess my next blog will be me giving my opinion on FreeBSD, and perhaps the final conclusion of whether I decided to switch or ditch (spoiler alert: no spoilers because I don't know yet).\ +But even if I switch, I'll still keep at least 1 Artix and 1 Devuan machine, because again Linux does still have a special place in my heart for the fact I grew up with it from the very beginning, but also for compatibility reasons because as a developer I still want to make sure my stuff runs across as many Unix-like systems as possible (except for macOS, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS, I don't mind not supporting these). diff --git a/src/blog/my-vpn-service-is-better-than-yours/index.md

elites/obsoletes/freemasons/Jesuits/(Khazar fake )Jews/illuminazi/gloybalists/deep state/shadow government/glowniggers/howeveryouwanttocallit (I'll call them "obsoletes" from here on, since it's the most accurate description of who they are).\ +The simple answer is, it's a grassroots invention, but later on got infiltrated by the bad guys and weaponized it against all the rest of us. + +The people who make the claim that technology and internet (for convenience sake, I'll refer technology and/or internet both as just "tech" from here on) is just a control device by the obsoletes are typically people who have probably never even seen a computer before until using the internet became mainstream in 2003-ish, so they've been here for long enough to know that MySpace existed before Fakebook, but definitely not long enough to know that the internet used to consist almost entirely of personal websites.\ +Before 2003, the internet was exclusively a nerd-only playground, [you had to have knowledge about computers in order to even know how to connect to the internet in the first place](/blog/not-using-cli-is-for-retards/).\ +And it's pretty evident that those claiming that it's a control device lack basic technological knowledge, not only boomers and zoomers, all generations included. + +It's just that the invention of soycial media in 2004 (Fakebook), 2006 (JewTube), or 2008 (Shitter) depending on which platform you came to first marked the start of a hostile takeover of the internet from the nerds to the obsoletes, and the internet stopped being this decentralized web of personal websites, and started becoming this centralized spider taking over everything creating ever taller barriers of entry to make it as impossible as possible for you to start your own website without having to depend on their tools, their languages, their infrastructure, their whatever.\ +And it's still possible to do so, though at this point it's only possible on the darknets, as the darknets are basically what the standard internet used to be.\ +There's actually a reason why I said that [darknet is the future of the internet](/blog/decentralize-federate-is-solution/). + +If you just look at how many websoytes heavily depend on Cuckflare, [one of the big 3 JS frameworks](/blog/browser-fascism/) (Angular, React, Vue), one of the major SSL CA's (Let's Encrypt, Comodo, Cuckflare), surveillance (ads, trackers, ANALytics, CDNs, Goolag Tag Manager, soycial media share/like buttons, video embeds, image hotlinking), [major email providers](/blog/liberate-email-ignore-dkim/) (GayMail, Hotmail/Outlook/Live, Yahoo, Protonmail), Discucked chat rooms, domain name registrars and the TLD owners, [major VPS providers](/blog/get-off-vps/) (AWS, GMO, Vultr, Linode, Digital Ocean), it's pretty easy to see where they're all coming from.\ +On the other hand, darknets just like the old internet don't rely on any registrars, TLD owners, and SSL certificates, they may or may not use a VPS provider (you don't have to, it's very easy to host from your own home in a secure way) or Discucked, they might still use JS frameworks and surveillance, but most darknet-only sites don't use it simply because its users are far more weary against the use of JS, so they disable it all the time, plus your average darknet user is much smarter than your average clearnet user anyway, so the surveillance gets mitigated before you even attempt to install them. + +Speaking of which, did you realize how the darknet gets villified all the time by saying it's filled with black markets, drug dealers, weapon sales, child porn, and so on?\ +While they do exist, most of these are glowie ops anyway, they're just a tiny portion of the entire Onion routing, and only the dumb people would even fall for them.\ +But did you know they said the same thing about the regular internet back in the 1990's and early 2000's?\ +I still remember my mom going absolutely ape shit every time she saw anti-internet propaganda on TV and tried to make me stay away from it.\ +"Internet so dangerous, it's full of child porn, drug dealers, weapon sales, and black markets." or "The use of tech will make you blind." or "Internet users are an infinite times more likely to commit suicide than those who don't." were extremely common messages in the mainstream media back then.\ +Sometimes entire documentaries were produced about how technology has literally destroyed somebody's child life and traumatized them for life.\ +But then the Big Tech oligargs infiltrated tech, and all of the sudden it's as necessary in every day life as eating breakfast.\ +Yea right... + +You can easily see that the only reason they call it dangerous is because of the lack of regulation.\ +And the lack of regulation is exactly what has made the old internet and the current darknets so awesome in the first place!\ +In fact, if tech would have been regulated and owned by the obsoletes from day 1, it would have never gotten to where it is today.\ +It would have just been an extension to TV and the printing press and nothing else. + +The way internet started was basically 2 frens connecting to each other over a telephone line or some shit.\ +Which is very different from how it would have been if it was started by some obsolete.\ +Hell, it even took governments ages to even learn what an internet even is, and all while they were still boomering around with a pen and paper, all the rest of us were communicating with one other over the internet already.\ +So really, don't believe that internet is "their" technology, it really isn't.\ +It only became so with the invention of soycial media, and similarily computers were never "their" technology until the invention of the iPhone.\ +It's basically like saying that nature is a control device owned by the obsoletes because they started planting trees in Ueno park back in 2011, and then expanded to all sorts of parks worldwide since then, even though nature has already existed for bazillions of years. diff --git a/src/blog/no-website-big-problem/index.md

technology,foss,computer,internet,programming +threadid: APUxLUBGiV6zTJDj3g +---- +This is a kind of response to Unix Sheikh's [When you use open source software you are not entitled to anything!](https://unixsheikh.com/articles/when-you-use-open-source-software-you-are-not-entitled-to-anything.html) blog post.\ +I believe he's right, though this isn't limited to open source software.\ +I've actually seen far more entitlement in proprietary soyware, where it makes even less sense. + +Because with open source at least you can fork it, make changes you want to have, [like the dreaded double slash bug that otherwise nobody else cares about](https://social.076.ne.jp/notice/APULYOQZcbH38R6g6a), and submit a pull request which the developer might or might not add to upstream, which also grants you the right to brag about contributing to a project either way.\ +And if it doesn't get added, then you can run your own fork. + +However, this is not what most people want, most people only want to consoom and pretend to be producers.\ +Instead of them being as productive as they claim and fix problems themselves (the source code is in the open, they can literally do it this very instant), they just wait for the developer to come in and fix it for them, which depending on what it is might either satisfy or anger an entire userbase.\ +Yes, I complain about how open source projects are being done sometimes, like SoystemD and Furryfox for example, but these codebases are so gigantic, it's basically like having a transparent suitcase with a lock on it, but only the main developer (Poettering or Cuckzilla respectively in this case) has the keys to unlock it, and then they demand you to just make changes. + +I actually invented a word for "open source" software with codebases so complex that they're effectively unmodifyable: glass source software.\ +You can see the source code, but it's so complex that any change might render it unusable.\ +Just like how you can look through glass, but as soon as you hit it with your fist, you not only destroy the glass, but also your hand.\ +I did that before, trust me, I don't recommend that at all. + +He also pointed out licenses.\ +You do know that EULA's in closed source soyware always get marked as "I've read the terms and I agree with them" while nobody ever reads it right?\ +Same thing with FOSS licenses, except the difference is that FOSS licenses are only a few varieties and they are universally applicable.\ +So if something uses the GPLv2 license, you know what it's all about without reading it.\ +If somebody uses the BSD license, you know what it's all about by the name alone, and so on. + +So clearly the use of licenses isn't the problem, the problem is user laziness.\ +What should be an issue isn't that users of (F)(L)OSS software feel entitled for using (F)(L)OSS software, but rather that its users are unwilling to contribute by fixing what bothers them themselves to help out a developer that otherwise doesn't have the time to do it for you.\ +After all, everyone who's making open source software has a job (full time or freelance) or study on which they spend 8 hours or more a day on, then 8 hours are allocated to sleep, among the remaining 8 hours there's commute, shopping for and making food, taking out the trash, doing the laundary, washing the dishes, taking a bath and/or shower, taking a dump, learning a new (programming or human) language, walking the dog, feeding the cat (or dog), masturbating to porn, and so on.\ +All the work we do is really just hobby, we make software because it's our passion.\ +But please be mindful that often times your contributions are far more appreciated than you being basically a bug tester and then nagging the developers to fix problems for you. + +What's different between Hozon Site and say Furryfox is that Furryfox is literally a project by a corporation, they have lots of developers who get paid for developing Furryfox.\ +Hozon Site on the other hand is done by just 1 person in her free time who also lives alone, and therefore in addition to having a full time job and commute back and forth from Mondays to Fridays, she has to do all the household work too.\ +The reason why I point that out is that usually the same people who feel the entitlement to steer a project into whatever direction they want without having their own input into it also tend to make a distinction between projects done as a hobby and projects done as a commercial job.\ +If you really can't fix by yourself, you might perhaps find some left wing commie autist who's living off state handouts while still living with their parents that also happens to have coding skills that might fix it for you, those people generally have 18 hours or free time a day (the rest is allocated to food and sleep) rather than 30 minutes to 3 hours like those of us who have to provide for ourselves first and foremost. diff --git

which one would it be?\ +There are lots of programming languages, all of which are good and bad at stuff, some are better than others, some are worse.\ +I'll compare the following:\ +C, C++, C#, PHP, Ruby, Python, Javascript, Java, Go, Lua, Shell. + +## The ideal language is the following specs + +### Is non-bloat + +What this means is that you don't need to have a high end Intel i29 processor, an Nvidia 2 billion XTI, a trillion Petabyte of RAM......no.\ +I want to be able to compile (or run) on old hardware without too much lag. + +### No mandatory object orientation + +It's OK if the language in question supports stuff like classes, namespaces, and whatnot (rather not), but it should be optional and not mandatory. + +### Has official offline readable documentation + +I want to be able to access documentation while on the go, in the train, in a cafe, in the jungle, on the moon, literally anywhere.\ +My smartphone is ALWAYS at home, I never take it with me, so I want to be able to access documentation without the need to have internet.\ +Other bonuses of that is that you don't have to worry about documentation requiring Javascript (if your offline documentation does, then it means it's broken, FIX IT!!), no worries about Cuckflare's "we're checking your browser" meme because it's offline. + +Preferrably in PDF format, but TXT or HTML (or Tarballs for that matter) are OK too.\ +Please no EPUBs, nothing like that! + +### Can be written without an IDE + +This should go without saying, but anything that requires an IDE because otherwise it's hard or impossible to read is an instant garbage language.\ +Especially if it requires an official IDE, developers of that kind of language need to be beheaded. + +### Clean, common sense syntax is a must + +Syntax needs to be clean and make sense.\ +Unless it's ASSembly or literally machine code, I don't want to see something like "system.penis->cum[0].print('Hello world!')", humans are supposed to read and write the code, not half robot half alien half ghost type of franken-cyborgs. + +**Note: this is NOT a tier list!** + +## C + +First start with my most favorite language, the language that inspired just about every other language on this list, and the language that nobody cares about anymore.\ +Just so you know, when I say "C", I mean "ANSI-C", or "C89". + +It checks almost all checkboxes.\ +The only thing it lacks is an official offline readable documentation, [it does have an official book however](https://kremlin.cc/k&r.pdf).\ +But [GNU's single page manual](https://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-c-manual/gnu-c-manual.html) is pretty good too, it's online, but it's just a matter of pressing CTRL+S to save it locally, and it's literally the exact same thing, no internet necessary at all.\ +So I consider it to be acceptable, though not ideal. + +Other than that, it's not bloated, not OOPs at all, can be written with just a simple text editor, syntax is clean and common sense.\ +Sure it has keywords like "strcat" and "char *variable", but you can still figure out what they mean pretty easily, and at the same time doesn't require much typing. + +By the way, there used to be a PDF version of GNU's C manual, but I can't find it anymore, so [I'll just host it for you](http://ass.ryocafe.site/gnu-c-manual.pdf). + +```c +#include + +int main () { + char name[10]; + scanf("%s", name); + printf("Hello, %s\n", name); + + return 0; +} +``` + +4 out of 5. + +## C++ + +Some people will tell you this is C on steriods, but I'd rather say it's like a frankenstein C.\ +It's bloated, though not by a lot if you compare to most other languages, but it definitely is compared to C.\ +Just like C, it doesn't really have an official online documentation (let alone offline documentation) and has an official book instead, though [Cplusplus.com](https://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/) is considered to be the best online documentation, but it's not offline readable.\ +So just like with C, resort to a book, which is not ideal, but the additional problem is that the best resource is online-only. + +It has OOPs (it was created for this very purpose), but it's not mandatory, so that's OK.\ +It can be written without an IDE, good. + +Syntax is quite a clusterfuck, it makes your brain melt. + +```cpp +#include + +int main () { + char name[100]; + std::cin >> name; + std::cout << "Hello, " << name << std::endl; + + return 0; +} +``` + +FUCK!!\ +Like, what's wrong with the way it's done in C that you had to make it all so retarded!? + +2 out of 5. + +## C# + +Despite having "C" in the name, I always found it to have more in common with Java than with C.\ +Or put differently, an OK-ish version of Java.\ +It's made by Microshaft, therefore it sucks.\ +OK OK, let's not discriminate on who developed it, origin of the language isn't one of the 5 criteria. + +It's bloated, has mandatory OOPs, has no official offline readable documentation (online only, excluding books), but at least it can kind of be written without an IDE, but it's not all that obvious.\ +Not to mention the fact that Microshaft maintains the world's worst documentation ever made.\ +Visiting the official documentation is like having a mystery to solve, and after wasting 8 hours in a library, you exit with even more mysteries to solve while none of the already existing ones have been resolved. + +Microshaft has pushed C# to force people on to Visual Studio and .NET Framework, so 2 crimes in 1 go, incredible...\ +However, it's actually possible to write code without the 2.\ +I mean, Mono exists. + +But the syntax is pretty reasonable at least, although to me the language always felt to me like playing with rubber.\ +C and C++ both feel more like metal. + +```cs +using System; + +namespace ItsaMeMario { + class Hello { + static void Main (string[] args) { + string name; + name = Console.ReadLine(); + Console.WriteLine($"Hello {name}"); + } + } +} +``` + +1.5 out of 5. + +## PHP + +When I say PHP, I really mean the vanilla PHP, not that weird ass .NET-wannabee framework PHP you'd see in things like Laravel, CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Zend Framework, Symphony, and whatever other frameworks are out there.\ +PHP is my 2nd favorite language, and one I'm the most familiar with.\ +PHP is technically a web framework for C, the language itself isn't just based on C, it's literally written in C, and many standard functions resemble C functions too. + +It's bloat, as PHP does lots of stuff for you out of the box that most other languages don't.\ +It doesn't feel like bloated, but it definitely is.\ +The bloat does mean that there's barely any need for any external dependencies, which is actually a good thing.\ +The downside is that it results in breaking changes with every single major release, unless you're like me and make custom functions using only the most basic commands that will guaranteed always be part of the language (unless it turns out it's so buggy that it's beyond repair, like how "mysql" got replaced with "mysqli" and "PDO"). + +OOPs is optional (since PHP 5.whatever, can't remember exactly, but before that it used be to no OOPs at all), official documentation is readable offline as HTML files in a Tarball (other formats are also available), it can be written without an IDE (in fact, if you do use an IDE for PHP, I guarantee you every single PHP (again, I mean real PHP, not framework PHP) developer will consider you insane), and syntax is insanely basic, just about anyone can just pick it up and make stuff easily (which is perhaps why so many PHP frameworks exist, can't have you writing code correctly). + +```php + +``` + +4 out of 5. + +## Ruby + +Ruby is pretty different compared to the languages I mentioned so far.\ +I don't have lots of experience with that first hand, so I'll skip the bloat part.\ +It's not mandatory OOPs, though it kind of is if you're using Ruby on Rails.\ +It has official offline readable documentation, though you have to look for it.\ +It can be written without an IDE, though it's pretty rare to write in Ruby without the Rails framework for whatever reason (kind of like how it's rare to write C# without .NET).\ +Syntax is plain simple and clean, maybe it really is the ideal language for your girlfriend (or you if you happen to be a girl yourself). + +```rb +#!/usr/bin/ruby + +name = gets +puts "Hello, #{name}" +``` + +4.5 out of 5.\ +The half point is because I can't comment on the bloat, so I'll give it a half point as a benefit of doubt. + +## Python + +The language that ALWAYS breaks if the Python intepreter version on your computer doesn't exactly match with the one the developer used.\ +And this is exactly my frustration with this language, considering that most Python devs tend to be on Ubuntu, which always run on incredibly outdated versions of everything, while I use Artix btw, so I will almost always have the latest version installed, and then I want to play around on Devuan, postmarketOS, and OpenBSD, each of them come with a different version too, FUCK!! + +Code-wise, Python is not bloat, however the intepreter makes it incredibly bloat.\ +Plus every project, even if it's just a small 1 file script, requires quite a lot of dependencies to even work.\ +Just check your installed packages in your distro's package manager, notice how many of them start with "python-", "python2-", or "python3-", it's going to shock you. + +From as far as I know, there's no OOPs at all.\ +Maybe there is if you use some weird framework, but the language itself seems to be as procedural as it gets. + +There is official offline readable documentation.\ +It can be written without an IDE, and the syntax is clean, however it's NOT common sense!\ +When I saw an example code for Python, I couldn't distinguish it from plain text quite easily.\ +No round brackets around if/elif/else statements, no initialization like "", "#!/usr/bin/python", no static typing, and so on. + +```py +name = input("Name:") +print("Hello, " + name) +``` + +3 out of 5. + +## Javascript + +The language I hate the most, not necessarily because the language itself is garbage, but rather because of how 99% of the JS devs abuse the language which is what turns it into garbage.\ +Likewise, when I say Javascript, I mean vanilla JS, and not Angular, Node, React, Vue, Express, Angular2, Electron, and whatever else is available nowadays, can't even keep up anymore.\ +And I also mean anything before ECMA. + +The language itself is not bloat, in fact, it only has a handful of syntax and you have to write the rest by yourself, which is what made the language into the mess it is today, plus the lack of standards, every single JS project I touched had completely indistinguishable syntax even!\ +Even the "official" syntax is anything but common sense. + +I'll have to show you to make you understand. + +```sh +$ node

Delete Fakebook and Quora + +Fakebook and Quora require you to dox yourself to the entire world, therefore you literally can't have privacy on these.\ +So just delete them, might also improve your mental health too. + +## 1. Act differently everywhere + +It can be pretty hard if you have a too large ego, but definitely not impossible.\ +It's a matter of blending in with the crowd, so on Twitter you'd be the pro-Ukrainian tranny gaylord nigger zoomer in a wheelchair who's 4 times boosted and still got the covAIDS, while on Gab you'd be a pro-Trump white Christian boomer who's is thoroughly anti-vax, hates the Jews, consider the covAIDS to be just the flu, and believes Alex Jones religiously, and on Varis Hangout you'd be an anti-vax lolicon millenial, who considers all religions to be retarded, and knows that the covAIDS doesn't exist.\ +Cross linking identities is ultimately how they get you in the end. + +But let's be honest, this is extremely hard to accomplish, even I have a hard time accomplishing exactly that.\ +The trick is to drop your ego to as low as possible, save your real self for your own blog or some shit. + +## 2. Never use your real name and face online + +Back in the cyber-dinosaur era (which was only a few decades ago) it was common sense to not reveal your real identity, because the glowniggers might be watching.\ +Nowadays though, people have been conditioned to dox their entire work history on LinkedIn or they won't get employed anywhere, which is absolute bullshit because I have no LinkedIn, yet I have quite a lengthy employment/freelance history.\ +Hell, back in the 1950's people were very weary of phone calls because they could be evedropped at any moment, they even knew how to notice that.\ +But now they're more than happy to uncontiously share their entire family conversations through Amazon Alexa, because "I have nothing to hide", and if you ask them to unplug that thing because you value your privacy, you get stared at as if you were some drug dealer or human trafficker or some shit. + +This is extremely important, and this is why Fakebook and Quora are not an option at all.\ +There have been so many arrests made towards people who doxxed themselves, the latest example being [Andrew Tate](https://youtube.076.ne.jp/watch?v=MS0ZrSY32BI) who got arrested by Romanian feds just yesterday, but also [Moro-san](https://video.076.ne.jp/w/7YLp5zpJ3wAn1uwyimmqfE) who had to fight for 4 years but ultimately won in the end (and the video includes even more examples), and too many examples to remember of people in Ausjailia, Airstrip One, Norway (which turned out to even have a dedicated Ministry of Reality apparently), and Deutschland who got arrested purely for saying stuff online, the only ones who got away with it (people in the same countries) are the ones who have never exposed their real name, location, and face.\ +Apparently, even people who are trying to stop the Indian tech support scammers are getting in massive trouble because of their lack of anonymity, [like how Malcolm Merlyn explained](https://youtube.076.ne.jp/watch?v=VJHgKqfSs9I), which is what inspired me to write this article by the way.\ +Especially since the internet never forgets, and nothing is truly deleted, you'll need to have the habbit of remaining as anonymous as possible from day 1.\ +This also includes never using anything that requires a phone number, a satanphone, or multi factor authentication (except for OTP, because you can still mitigate that using GNU Pass), because those alone are enough to get you doxxed. + +If at one point you fucked up, it's best to go dark for a while, and then return under a brand new online identity and personality.\ +It can however be hard to make a balance, because you should still use some traits from your previous personality, most people fuck up by absolutely avoiding everything that matches to the old identity, but people aren't that stupid.\ +At one point somebody would notice that you're the exact opposite of your former self, and will still be able to identify you properly.\ +You can make it less obvious by repurposing some traits, but make it all different enough to not get noticed.\ +Your attempts of censoring when you get caught is another way of getting you exposed.\ +A lot of people make the mistake when they get outed of being the same guy as the one under his previous identity, they freak out and try to hide it all as much as possible.\ +It's a fully understandable reaction, don't get me wrong, but all you're doing is you're confirming that you indeed are the same person.\ +Treat it as if they mismatched you with somebody else, that way you can create doubt, and will most likely believe they mistook you. + +Some of you might have noticed how I keep changing myself depending on who I speak to, like being very antisemitic to some people and respecting to others, anti-ideology to some people and pro-capitalism to others, promoting spirituality the one day and considering it a cult the other day, and so on.\ +This too is entirely by design.\ +The golden rule you should remember, if you don't know the person in question in real life, then it's possibly an agent.\ +If you do know the person in question in real life, then it's possibly going to snitch on you.\ +Never fully trust anyone, no matter what.\ +Yes, this even includes me!\ +Sometimes state actors are so good at acting, you might not even notice their glow until maybe years later.\ +So you better act pro-actively rather than re-actively.\ +Be water! + +## Eye break! + +| | | +|-|-| +| ![](http://ass.ryocafe.site/ylc0fhf35wp31.jpg) | ![](http://ass.ryocafe.site/media_FkxEGFpaAAIDJOK.jpg) | + +## 3. Never use your real voice + +If you're making videos or podcasts, it makes sense to use your own voice.\ +Your voice is even more identifyable than your name actually, because there might be multiple people with the same name as you have, but your voice is unique.\ +Maybe not to the human ear, but a CIA-made AI can definitely distinguish.\ +And it's not even state of the art technology either, they've been confirming to have this ability in Hollywood movies, animation, and so on for many decades already, and usually when they show this tech to the public, it means they've been deploying such technology much earlier on already. + +Your best weapon would be to use a text to speech.\ +Voice distorters can be fine for now, but it's not as waterproof, as you're still using your own voice for the input, at one point there will be technology to undo the distortion and that will still bite you in the ass.\ +Pixelated images can already get depixelated, as seem [in this example](https://thecrowhouse.community/viewtopic.php?p=28480#p28480).\ +![](http://ass.ryocafe.site/blur-futility.png) + +## 4. Manipulate real life events + +It's perfectly understandable you want to talk about what happened in real life online.\ +But don't be too truthful about it.\ +What I often do is that sometimes I share the real events as is, sometimes I postpone revealing the events just to make it seem like it happened on a different day and time, sometimes I make alterations to the events (like location, people involved, environment, whatever), and sometimes I just make events up altogether.\ +This is on purpose, because you reporting on real life events is what would get you identified.\ +Glowniggers are watching you, no matter what.\ +Especially if you go through the trouble of protecting your identity as much as possible, they'll try extra hard to deanonymize you.\ +And consider the fact that CCTV camera's are absolutely everywhere these days, smartphones are absolutely everywhere, there might be somebody recording you whether willingly or unwillingly, smartphones automatically record your voice, and so on.\ +If you're too honest about your real life events, at one point a link will be created.\ +So by mixing in fake events, delayed events, and manipulated events will make the data on your actual real life events pretty useless. + +## 5. If you record real life footage, randomnize your locations + +Some people rely on recording real life locations on video, never do so near your home.\ +The link I gave at point 3 has some examples of that if you scroll up (not down, because I linked to a specific ancker point).\ +Avoid recording in a major city, because they're pretty unique, and thus are easily identifyable.\ +Instead, try recording in some small town you don't live in, occasionally record in your own town even around your own house if you will just to create extra doubt, but make sure you randomnize it with recording in other places too.\ +Small towns all around the world are generally more generic, so it's much harder to pin point the real location of these.\ +So it even allows you to say "I am recording from Iwate" while you're actually in Kitakyusyu for example.\ +Though watch out for billboards, these alone can very easily expose you. + +## Summary + +So never use accounts that require real life information, act differently everywhere, never dox yourself, never use your real voice, mix real event with fake or altered events, and make yourself as untracable as possible.\ +And have a nice new year break! + +![](http://ass.ryocafe.site/b0781b820ce2ed571e0be0536e4b1d90-712x1024.jpeg)\ +![](http://ass.ryocafe.site/20220912174457.jpg) diff --git a/src/blog/problem-with-minification/index.md b/src/blog/problem-with-minification/index.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0db5e55 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/blog/problem-with-minification/index.md @@ -0,0 +1,43 @@ +title: The problem with minifying CSS +author: 寮 +date: 2022-07-22 06:30:00 +tags:technology,internet,webdev +threadid: ALjH3UGhXbR8STPgLw +---- +I was going through the final code review yesterday before going on a little trip with my grandparents (I say that because if you won't see me appearing online over the next few days, it's probably because I have no time to get online).\ +And what annoyed me to no end was, a frontend developer made an error in CSS, and I had to fix it.\ +However, the file in question was minified CSS. + +For those of you who don't know, minified CSS is basically a CSS file with literally everything put on a single line.\ +One example I can give is the following CSS files I just stole from TorrentFreak:\ +[Original version](http://ass.ryocafe.site/style.css) | [Minified version](http://ass.ryocafe.site/style.min.css)\ +So basically, they made a 3276 line long CSS file (probably generated, there's no way a human can possibly make a this bloated CSS file by hand!), and then ran a tool that strips out all the comments and white spaces. + +Just for comparison, I made the CSS for this website that's only 1.7 KiB (so not even reaching the 2 KiB mark!) with just 116 lines (at the time of writing).\ +[And that's without minification, mind you!](/static/style.css) + +So what's the problem you're asking?\ +Just open the minified file in Vim or Neovim, or Gedit, or whatever other text editor you want, try to move the cursor around, and see what happens.\ +LAG!! FUCKING LAG!!\ +Not to mention the fact that it's totally unreadable. + +The minified version is 82 KiB, while the original one is 95 KiB, meaning you're saving up 13 KiB so that you can fill up 20 MiB worth of trackers, ads, JS, cookie warnings, images, fonts, and whatever else in its place, wow, such an achievement!! (not)\ +To me as a webdev with almost 2 decades of experience, the whole idea of minification is totally alien. + +Instead of minifying your CSS, I'd rather recommend you go through your webpage, take note of what you have, and try to rewrite your HTML and CSS so that you end up with the exact same design, but is far lighter in resources.\ +I can't really complain about a 95 KiB CSS, it's actually pretty impressive to fit this many lines of code in such a file, but you could as well just split this single file into a bunch of smaller files, and only load the files you need for the webpage you're viewing.\ +It makes no sense at all to load 100s of lines of CSS code specific to the frontpage while you're viewing a news article for example, so make 1 file for the frontend, 1 file for news particles, and load whichever you'll need to use.\ +I thought of doing that just to prove my point, but considering I'll be on the move in a few hours or so, I couldn't do that, and instead I might save that for another day. + +Yes, I too load stuff what's not relevant to the page you're viewing, like table stuff or webring images, or videos, but if you look at my CSS file, it's just 32 lines of unused code, not thousands.\ +The file is still easily readable and editable, so in that case splitting the file up would basically mean I'd be resorting to something more complex just to save up on 200 bytes or so. + +This bloated CSS stuff gets even worse if you ever loaded a Vue.js or React project.\ +Yes, I too have to do that from time to time, and that's almost always to remove the dependency on JS and convert the websoyte into a real website.\ +But seeing something like "app.js (15 MB), app.css (8 MB)" is pretty common while running `npm run prod`, but despite NPM warning you about the fact that it's far too much, nobody ever seems to do anything about it, often times soydevs even double down on that by spamming the node_modules folder even further...\ +I often even get handed over Node.js projects with more unused dependencies than used, because the soydevs installed a bunch of dependencies, then replaced dependencies for other dependencies, and never bothered removing any of the old dependencies.\ +This is why I always say how much JS is a disaster, not because the language itself is a disaster (or well, not until Chromium basically took over the entire web engine space), but rather because of the way the language is being abused these days. + +It's actually pretty cute how many people are (rightfully so) worried about JS bloat, but at the same time they say no word about CSS bloat, which is quite a growing (pun unintended) problem.\ +One day, we'll find ourselves blocking both CSS and JS in order to get a sane web experience, just blocking JS alone is not going to be enough.\ +But before that happens, I really hope a feature will be implemented that lets you choose your color scheme like how the Gopher/Gemini browsers do, because staring at black text on a white page is going to burn my eyes down. diff --git a/src/blog/problem-with-philosophy-less-software/index.md b/src/blog/problem-with-philosophy-less-software/index.md new file

out last summer](/free-software-and-proprietary-soyware-is-imcompatible/), proprietary slave OS's (WinDOS, macOS, Android, iOS, Chrome OS, and soyware like Matrix, Apache, PulseAudio, and SoystemD) are basically a Swiss army knife, so 1 tool that can do everything, but achieve nothing.\ +Free software OS's (Linux and BSD) are basically a toolbox, so a whole set of specific tools that can do only one thing, but actually get the job done.\ +And trying to be everything while sucking at everything is exactly what "being a jack of all trades, and a master of none" means. + +Linux and BSD do share their differences, like Linux being more of a "here's all the building blocks, make your own dream house" type of system, whereas BSD is more of a "we will provide you a complete operating system" type of system.\ +However, both of them do have in common that they make use of different smaller tools that can work together.\ +A very common one is `less`.\ +So for example: + +```sh +convert --help | less +``` + +With this, you're pulling up the instructions (so like a manual, but more to the point) on how to use ImageMagick's "convert" tool, and pipe it into a completely separate tool called "less" which allows you to scroll up and down freely, and also search for specific words by typing a "/" and than whatever you want to search for, and use "n" to go to the next one or "N" to go to the previous one (like in Vim).\ +On proprietary operating systems on the other hand, it's expected that you can pull up the instructions and search and scroll through it while already within the application. + +Another thing you can compare is having Neovim as the text editor, Git as the version control tool, lf as the file manager, and GCC as the C compiler, like on Linux and BSD.\ +Or you can have Visual Studio (WinDOS) or Xcode (macOS) that can handle the text editing, version control, file management, and compiling from 1 massive interface (and then run unbearably slow and ultimately crash because they're just way too bloated and buggy).\ +Or you can just install all of it in Emacs, but that's a 3rd way of using computers, as Emacs is technically an OS within an OS anyway. + +It's possible to use a bloated and buggy all-in-one solution on Linux and BSD, and kind of replicate the toolbox system on WinDOS and macOS, there are people who do computers like that, but they're not really made to be used that way.\ +But I don't really have against that, because if it works for you, then so be it.\ +As long as you can get your work done, there's no problem at all. + +But since I'm a user of ancient computer hardware, my workflow must be the "do one thing and do it well" way.\ +And since I've been using Linux since I was a little kid, and have almost no exposure to proprietary OS's (I do have exposure to Android though, but even then it's almost exclusively GrapheneOS or LineageOS, not Goolag Android, so it counts as FOSS OS's kind of), so this has been my workflow from the very beginning anyway. + +Oh, and for those people who can't think for themselves and/or can't handle someone who does think for himself, [here's a Wikipedo article on being a jack

they're annoying to write, and I just don't like to shill products I can't claim credit for unless it's free and open source.\ +However, you probably know by now how much I hate smartphones and the zombies it has created, so I've been constantly working on making it as irrelevant to me as possible.\ +Like for offline payments I have cash, for online payments I have Monero, for internet and using computers in general I have a real computer (or well, many), for photos and video recording I have a real camera, for navigation I have a functioning brain, for dark spots I have a flash light, for music I have an MP3 player, for checking the current weather I have eyeballs and a window to look through, and for weather forcasting I have knowledge about clouds and wind direction.\ +Until now, all I had left I needed a smartphone for were phone calls and portable internet router, and now I can dash out the portable router from that list. + +I have bought specifically [this router](https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B09CYRN8G9), because it's tiny, cheap, and it just works.\ +Well, configuration is needed, I'll get to it in a minute.\ +Of course it arrived without a SIM card, which the product page made very clear, although for some weird reason the order history showed that it included a rental travel SIM.\ +So when it arrived, I re-purposed my Rakuten Mobile SIM card which I used to use on a PinePhone which is basically broken now (I mean the screen specifically, dead pixels around the edges to the point I can't see a thing anymore).\ +The PinePhone uses a Micro SIM card (why the fuck did they call it "micro" if it's not even that much smaller than a normal SIM card though?), but the router uses a normal SIM card, which got me at first because it couldn't get the SIM card to work at first.\ +But I figured that if I moved the SIM card a bit more away from the edge so that all the pins would touch the chip itself, the SIM card got recognized.\ +The next problem that arrived was that there was no service.\ +But after reading the manual, it seemed like I had to manually set the APN, and it can be done by connecting to it, and going to 192.168.0.1, and logging in with the default password which is "admin", just like on a home router!\ +The interface is available in Japanese, English, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean, which is what you'd expect from a product bought in East Asia anyway.\ +But I'm fine with the default language, which of course is Japanese. + +After setting the APN (by default it's set to Vodafone for some reason, which is weird because there is no Vodafone in Japan), it still didn't work.\ +So I rebooted it, and now it finally worked!\ +Connection is great, speed is great, battery life is good enough (not really good, but for my use case it's fine), and it works like how I expect it to work.\ +Since it's using 4G, it's showing me how much data I've used up thus far on the screen, which is a very handy feature.\ +In the admin web portal you can also read and send SMS messages, which is a pretty nice extra, although I don't think I will really use it.\ +Apart from APN and SMS, the router is just like a basic home router, you can even set up port forwarding, DMZ, DDNS, and all that. + +The very tiny device's display is quite colorful, but easy to understand.\ +There are 2 buttons that kind of remind me to the volume buttons on a smartphone, the first button turns the screen on and off, or turns the device on and off when doing a long press.\ +The second button rotates the screen between your SSID and password (it's displayed in plain text, so be careful!), the data usage I just mentioned, and a QR code, which is something I won't use.\ +The battery is being charged using a micro USB cable by the way.\ +There's also a hook for an arm strap, but who cares?\ +I don't intend on replacing a smartphone's tethering feature with a portable WiFi router to have it attached to my arm. + +The thing is not perfect though, one thing I have to complain about is that there's no way to use special characters (!"#$%&'()=~\\|@`[]{}+*;:<>,.?/_) for the WiFi password, and there's apparently no way to change the web admin password at all, so I'd not want to share my WiFi details with anyone other than myself because of that.\ +The other issue is the fact it's unbranded, it's probably just some cheapo CHAINA!! device that can just explode out of nowhere at some point.\ +But if by any chance the device dies, where am I supposed to go to?\ +It's not made by TP-Link, or

said [it doesn't matter](/blog/recommended-linux-distro-2/) because as long as you go from a proprietary OS to a free OS, it's good regardless, which I still stand by.\ +But some people don't like that, and want me to recommend something I think is the best, the very best.\ +By this post I'm not saying "the previous 2 posts are irrelevant now", but rather "use all 3 posts side by side in order to get a bigger picture".\ +This time I will also add a BSD variant to the mix. + +## Best Linux distro: Artix Linux + +Normally I wouldn't recommend derivatives, but Artix and Devuan are exceptions, since the only difference between these and Arch and Debian respectively is the choice of init system, and their removal of soystemd dependencies from repositories.\ +Other than that they're the exact same distro's as their base. + +But Artix is Arch without soystemd, and Arch on its turn is a distro that just works.\ +It's minimalist, you can install anything you want very easily, and it encourages you to understand the system (unlike Ubuntu or Manjaro which build a wall between you and the system).\ +The problem I have with distro's like Debian or Fedora is that Debian does Linux the Debian way, Fedora does Linux the Fedora way, Ubuntu does Linux the Ubuntu way, Manjaro does Linux the Manjaro way, and so on.\ +Arch and Artix (and also Gentoo, Slackware, and Void) on the other hand do Linux the Linux way (well, Void kind of does it more the BSD way, but that's because the founder of the project was a former NetBSD developer). + +The nice thing about Artix is that it provides both the base install which gives you a more Arch-like install process, and a couple of graphical installers of choice which gives you a more Manjaro-like install process. + +Nice alternatives are Void, Slackware, and Gentoo, but Void comes with outdated packages, and by the time new versions come out, the Void respository's latest versions are already outdated. + +In the case of Gentoo, it's even more flexible than Arch and Artix will ever be which is great, but you must compile everything from source, which can take a hell lot of time.\ +Ever tried to compiling Ungoolagged Chromium before?\ +Takes days to complete, or days to return an error, depending on which one comes first, and every single time you update you'll need to get through the exact same process again and again. + +And as for Slackware, this is the one Linux distro that to this day refuses to give up on SysV, so you'll get the init system we all grew up with before soystemd came along.\ +However, it's a fixed release distro with a pretty irregular release cycle (they used to have one between once a year and twice a year until 14.1, then 14.2 got released 3 years later, then the next one which is 15.0 got released 4 years later).\ +Overall not a bad distro by itself, it's used by the Linus Torvalds himself, and many FLOSS fanatics praise it as the best Linux distro ever made, I just don't really like that it's a fixed release distro. + +So that's why I believe that Artix is the king of all distro's, because it's everything I want: minimalist, flexible, always the latest packages, rolling release, Linux-style Linux (and not Artix-style Linux), and so on. + +## Best BSD variant: OpenBSD + +I have problems installing OpenBSD on my old Surface tablet, but it seems to be specific to that tablet.\ +I always ran Debian servers, recently switched over to Devuan servers, and now I'm in the process of switching them over to OpenBSD servers.\ +Because Devuan is a great distro for server use, but I feel like OpenBSD is an even better OS for server use.\ +OpenBSD too is minimalist, flexible, always the latest packages, and BSD-style BSD.\ +The only thing it isn't is rolling release, but BSD variants generally tend to have a much more spread out release cycle compared to Linux distro's (except for Debian and Devuan), plus packages are nicely kept up to date, so I don't really mind the fixed release model in BSD. + +I previously recommended GhostBSD, since that's basically FreeBSD except it actually works, but having looked at it for a few weeks on an old MacBook now, it really feels like it comes with too much bloat out of the box, so I don't really like that.\ +I will perhaps get myself another ThinkPad to run OpenBSD on it, my current ThinkPad runs on Artix Linux, and I just like to have both systems running side by side. + +But in general, derivatives of BSD variants aren't as bad as derivatives of Linux distro's, since in Linux they're mostly just glorified, pre-configured rices, while with BSD they're more like "look, we'll make it easy for you to set up the desktop, other than that we'll be as close to the original as possible" (with the exception of macOS, by far the worst BSD variant, and worst Unix OS in general anyway). + +So yea, you wanted me to give a specific recommendation on a silver platter, here you go then! diff --git

sponsor!\ +Just kidding, sponsorships are cancer, and they need to fucking die!\ +Oh hey, an article within an article, how cool is that? + +There are [actually good responsive designs](http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/) [(note 1)](#1) out there, don't get me wrong.\ +However, most of the responsive designs are terrible, at least if you're browsing from a real computer.\ +Stuff 3 or 2 columns into 1 (I do that too, but that's simply because I have nothing to put on the sides), massive-ass images filling up the entire screen, buttons way bigger than Jesus, soycial media share buttons, gigantic font sizes, and so on.\ +This looks good on smartphone screens, but on screens of real computers it's quite literally eye cancer. + +It's as if those who support "responsive design" and "mobile first" actually mean "mobile only, PC is an after thought".\ +I've warned about that when the "responsive" craze started in the west back in 2015, because over here in Japan it started a few years later, and before that we used to have 2 separate websites; one for PC users, and one for phone users.\ +But then on one hand Japanese people went smartphone-only en mass, on the other hand mobile providers almost completely managed to kill garake's (basically flip phones with a degoolagged Android base and a heavily locked down UI), and on the 3rd hand (the penis perhaps?) companies here went like "oh, we're lagging behind on the west, so we need to hire western web developers to catch on with the rest of the world", and all of the sudden we got a massive increase of Web 2.0 websoy with an East Asian touch (so the globohomo style mobile-only "responsive" soytes with lots of conversation-style blog posts, Amazon links, Goolag Tags, and BBS-style comments section). + +For readability sake, it's better to actually do PC-first web pages.\ +Smartphone users are already used to do pitch to zoom in order to zoom in, but PC users don't use scroll to zoom in order to zoom out as much.\ +And don't forget about how polarizing responsive soytes are.\ +Just compare all the old websites with all the new age ones, the latter all look the same with just a different paint and different text, but other than that they all look like the exact same "the latest iPhone" page on Crapple's websoyte.\ +Though it used to be worse in that regard, because back when it all started everyone was using the Bootstrap CSS/JS framework, but it seems like at least that part got a bit more diversified nowadays. + +And by making PC-first web pages, hopefully we'll reduce the amount of smartphone zombies in public.\ +Last week while switching metros over in Tokyo, a smartphone zombie suddenly stopped walking exactly in the narrowest possible section of the station to watch an ad in the gatcha "game" he was playing while walking, and since I was walking behind him, I bumped into him, he fell over, and his phone's screen broke.\ +And while he was mad at me for "not watching out where I go", I told him to be glad that it's the only damage, because his actions could as well have destroyed his bones or face or some shit, and pointed out on the fact he did something dangerous himself.\ +Though at least he realized his own mistake, it's quite rare nowadays to do so. + +So by all means, make your websites as inaccessible on mobile screens as possible, we might eventually fix human behavior in real life through that as well maybe.\ +And by all means, make mobile "games" as resource heavy as possible, maybe then they will start looking where they're fucking going completely again! + +

usually all soydevs anyway) believe that in order to make your code more secure, you'll need to add even more complexity, add even more abstraction, add even more bloat, make your code even more unreadable, and all that.\ +However, this is proprietary way of thinking, and will only work on paper.\ +In practise however, the exact opposite of that is true. + +By making your code more complex, abstract, bloated, and unreadable, you don't fix security holes, you only create new security holes.\ +I remember my first ever personal project, sure it wasn't soydevvery, but the soyce code was still very unreadable.\ +Every time somebody reported a bug, it felt like I got punished for having to read my own code and try to fix it, or even figure out how the bug even happens in the first place.\ +Luckily it was all procedural code, so it was easy to know what file I had to edit to fix the bug, and I never had to jump from file to file and debug every single class just to solve 1 problem like what is always the case with object oriented code. + +But that one experience is what let me to set rules for myself, like keep code short, simple, and to the point, make use of proper indenting to make it easier to see where shit goes wrong, purge all unused code as soon as you no longer use it (so don't wait until you're about to release the final product), and so on.\ +Luckily I didn't have to teach myself to make sure my code is 100% self written, simply because back when I started coding PHP, there were no frameworks yet, even the whole concept of MVC in web development didn't exist yet. + +Over time I started adding in more rules, like total size of the project (excluding ASSets like images, videos, favicons, databases etc, but including HTML, CSS, JS, PHP or Go) should never exceed 1 MiB (or 1024 KiB, or 1.48 MB), which in many cases is quite a lot of space.\ +In perspective, the comments section is only 1.58 KiB (1.62 kB), Hozon Site is only 10.93 KiB (11.19 kB), URL Loli is only 6.86 KiB (7.02 kB), and Kensaku Online is 15.81 KiB (16.19 kB) for now (the last one can signigicantly change, as it's still in development).\ +With the exception of my comments section, they're all full blown web apps, and none of them exceed 20 KiB (again, for now), and my biggest project I made for a customer was a around 600 KiB (614.4 kB) total (would be 90 MiB if you include all the ASSets, but then again those aren't editable code anyway), so 1 MiB is actually extremely generous.\ +I only made the limit to be 1 MiB to allow complex management systems that require lots of code, but even with complex CRM systems I never manage to hit that limit. + +For the GenXers and millenials out there, 1 MiB fits on 1 floppy disc. + +It is however important that you don't make use of any frameworks at all, because just initiating one alone will shit out somewhere between 10 and 800 MiB of bloat, and that's before you even write a single letter of code, mind you. + +However, one mistake game devs often make is that they optimize code to make it use as little resources as possible, only to then make space for over the top bloated graphics and audio.\ +That too should be avoided, but not for bug fixing purposes, but rather for sustainability reasons (and I mean real sustainability, not that new world order SDGs scam).\ +But that's a topic for another time.

technology,internet,webdev +---- +In [my last blog post](/blog/done-with-sns/) I said I won't be part of the Fediverse anymore because all the current softs are so poorly written.\ +But then I got quite a few heart warming comments which I didn't expect, which made me reconsider, because those of you who follow me on Fedi currently are just too awesome to run away from!\ +So I decided to continue to be on Fedi even after the switch from Pleroma to Hubzilla. + +With that out of the way, today's blog post relates to what I said in the last post.\ +There are 3 types of userbases you as a developer will be making software for: yourself, a specific customer, or public. + +You might be developing software for yourself to make your own workflow much easier or automate it wherever possible.\ +Feel free to use whatever, because you're the user of your own software, so nobody cares.\ +For the other 2 categories, it does actually matter what tools you're using, but have some differences. + +The customer you're making code for is a niche, but that's where your income is.\ +The most logical thing to do here for most people is to make software that is broken by design so you can milk the crap out of that customer.\ +However, I disagree.\ +Remember that you're not Goolag or Crapple, these 2 can be as hostile and disrespectful towards their customers as possible, and they'll still give them more and more money every single year.\ +But if you do that, the customer will go like "fine, I'll ask somebody else then".\ +And there are much more ethical ways to maintain a consistent flow of money (or fiat) from them to your wallet (or bank account), like charging them monthly maintenance costs or monthly hosting costs for example.\ +Or offering them a service contract so when the software breaks or they want to add, change, or remove features, you can do that at no additional charge.\ +Or charge them for every change they want post-release, but in that case it's better to not have a service contract, but in return you can get away charging them a whole lot more if you make them pay for each change. + +And the 3rd category is software written for public use.\ +For example the development of Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, GNU Social, Hubzilla, Friendica, Mitra, and so on.\ +You can put up ways to donate, but expect to get no money and lots of reported issues, therefore it's better to do this as a hobby, not as a profession (something Gargeon doesn't seem to understand).\ +You can perhaps turn this around by making rock solid software, which is why it's crucial to use the right tools.\ +And this is what 95% of the developers fall for these days, because they make use of frameworks, Postgres, Docker containers, tedious installation processes, nonsensticle maintenance methods, and so on.\ +This is where my frustration is all the time, and this frustration is what made me want to leave Fedi 2 days ago.\ +What they don't seem to understand is that when they release software for public use, their userbase will most likely not be developers, let alone contributing code.\ +Most of your users will not be software developers, they'll be users who want to use something that just works.\ +Frameworks, Docker, going through a gazillion shell commands and scripts, having to periodically maintain Postgres, and so on is not what they want to have to deal with when they also have to host it so that many users can use it. + +Software that is easy to develop is often times not the same as software that is easy to use.\ +Sure, all of this might be easy for the developer as they get their shit done more quicker, but I see every single time that this is at the cost of ease of use.\ +It's important to make software easy to use FOR THE END USER, not for yourself, even if you make no money off of it.\ +Your money comes from the 2nd category, expect to earn nothing in the 1st and 3rd categories, my strategy is to make software in all 3 of them so that I can make quality software without having to worry about being able to put food on the table.\ +To put into perspective, you wake up in the morning, check your chatrooms, emails, soycial media, and so on, then you get to work.\ +But since I work way ahead of schedule, I only need to spend about 2 or so hours a day on my professional work (most of it is just checking if everything works, cleaning up the code, and committing to Git), then I can use the other 4 hours to work on free software, and remaining 2 hours on learning ncurses, SDL, SFML, Go, LMMS, Krita (manga production), and so on.\ +And then in the evenings I just do whatever the fuck I want. + +I already got myself into the position that gives me enough money to eat and pay bills, and I really don't need to earn more.\ +Sure, earning more is nice, but it's just unnecessary to me, I don't need to join the Freemasons, I mean the top 150 richest people on earth, I mean the Jews.\ +So I'd rather spend my remaining time and energy in making free software that actually works and lasts.\ +This is what me and loli frog are doing at the moment with custom Fedi software, though she really wants to work alone, so instead I took another project to work on so we can get them all ready quicker. diff --git a/src/blog/startpage-is-not-privacy-part-2/index.md

(not like anyone even cares anyway), no video search, just nothing!) and actively prevents you from accessing these parts too, and search results on CuckCuckGo's HTML version are even more useless

against satanphones, Web3, and the rest of the New World Order bullshit.\ +However, a few days ago on IRC, we were discussing on how we might get the good old Web 1.0 back once all the normies have dumped their web browsers in favor for satanphone crapps.\ +So I thought, now I suddenly support the raise of satanphones!\ +Those who want to get scammed by the New World Order should get what they're asking for, as long as you let those of us who prefer the old internet have computers, I have no issues with that.\ +But we know full well that they want to force all the rest of us into their slavery soystem as well. + +Now you might be thinking, what does this have to do with having tools of censorship or not, and free speech?\ +Because Web3 was never built to allow you to have free speech, their tools are still centralized, except in other people's hands.\ +The closest we can get to true free speech are the darknets, IRC, XMPP, email, Mumble, web forums, and Fediverse.\ +Some might argue that you can have true free speech on the clearnet by hosting on an IP address rather than a domain name.\ +On paper it's true, in reality not so much.\ +Hosting from home means that if you don't have a static IP, you'll have to update your bookmarks all the time, and have a channel open to announce your IP changes at any time.\ +If you do have a static IP, you might get the feds knocking on your door if it happens to be an ISP provided IP address, much safer if you get one from a 3rd party static IP provider, but might not be usable if you happen to live in an unsupported area.\ +Or you could use an IP address from a VPS provider, but they too aren't waterproof solutions, since they can just deprive you of your VPS when their feelings get hurt (AWS) or get copyright (which is a scam) notice (Linode).\ +Or you could get a VPS in Russia, until one of your users starts saying how evil Putin is, and that's the end of your VPS. + +Darknets are much more untouchable.\ +I2P jump services like [reg.i2p](http://reg.i2p/) can still delist you, and [stats.i2p](http://stats.i2p/), [identiguy.i2p](http://identiguy.i2p/), [inr.i2p](http://inr.i2p/), and [notbob.i2p](http://notbob.i2p/) will.\ +But nothing's stopping me from hosting an address helper myself (like in the menu of this very site for example), and a B32 address can only be taken away from me if my server dies and I was stupid enough to not back it up.\ +Likewise, an Onion address can't be taken away from me unless my server dies and I didn't backup my keys.\ +And there are other darknets out there, but I don't like them as much since most others require you to host everybody else's websites too, and who knows what kind of bloat they have, plus they dox your IP address.\ +A few others that might still be relatively worth at least something, like Lokinet and Zeronet, are kind of dead or lacky in a way.\ +But it took both I2P and Tor 20 years to even gain any popularity, so who knows, maybe Lokinet and Zeronet would become serious options to consider once each of them hit the 20 year mark as well? + +Regardless of technology, you might also expand by creating communication channels and communities which you'd host yourself.\ +An IRC server, Mumble server, web forum, imageboard, or BBS can be set up for large scale group conversations without the worry of getting censored.\ +At least, you the owner doesn't have to worry, your users still do, so free speech is still a matter of discipline. + +On the other hand, you can set up a federated communication

command line) suck, but it's understandable +author: 寮 +date: 2022-12-15 +tags: technology,computer,linux,bsd +---- +Online tutorials suck, at least everything specifically discussing Linux/BSD stuff.\ +It wasn't like that in the past, we had only a few major distro's (and everything that's not independent was either Debian based or Red Hat based), 1 init system, 3 DE's, less than 10 package managers, a couple of window managers, and so Linux tutorials and help threads would involve the command line.\ +Because while the GUI's were quite diverse, command line was almost entirely universal (only the package manager was different). + +But things have changed, now we have a shit ton of distro's (although most are based off Arch, Debian, or Red Hat, but quite a lot of OpenSUSE-based, Ubuntu-based, Devuan-based, Manjaro-based, Gentoo-based, and way more have shown up), we have dozens of init systems, dozens of DE's, a few dozen package managers, a shitload of window managers, and so on, and now Linux tutorials are basically useless. + +Let's take [LandChad](https://landchad.net/) for example, your one stop shop for how to set up your own servers.\ +It's very handy if you're running a Debian server, and maybe Ubuntu as well, but once you use something else (AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, or even Devuan sometimes, or hell, Debian testing even), you'll start hitting the wall quite often.\ +Or you take something from Digital Ocean (not linking to it, because Cuckflared), unless a certain tutorial is explicitely marked as for a certain distro or OS, instructions are going to be for Debian by default, and then people wonder why Debian is "the right tool for every task".\ +And it's quite understandable, because verifying across multiple platforms takes time, so you want to stick to a single option that most people most likely will use (for the record, in the past most tutorials used to be specific for CentOS only for the same reason).\ +Now

[Tilde](https://tilde.club/~technicalsuwako/blog/i2p-domain-make/), [Gemini](gemini://technicalsuwako.moe/blog/i2p-domain-make.gmi)) released an article about how to register a .i2p domain name, and it makes me understand why tutorials are like that.\ +She tried to do her best to cover 4 (6?) different systems; Artix/Arch, Devuan/Debian, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD.\ +Some parts were specific to Linux and OpenBSD + a separate step for FreeBSD, some specific for Linux and FreeBSD + a separate step for OpenBSD, some were specfic for Linux as a whole and BSD as a whole, some for Devuan/Debian, Artix/Arch, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD, and so on.\ +I have much respect to at least take the time to test on all 4 systems before publishing, but it's easy to see why so many others opt to just 1 Linux distro and ASSume users of all UNIX-like systems can "just adjust according to whatever you're using". + +The funniest was [the tutorial on how to automagically redirect Tor users to the .onion mirror](https://technicalsuwako.moe/blog/automatic-nginx-tor-redirect/), it seemed to be quite uniform until the last part of where you need to restart nginx.\ +She just listed 5 different commands for 5 different init systems, why couldn't she just have said "just do `/etc/init.d/nginx restart`" then, which is the init system independent way of restarting a service?\ +It gets even more ridiculous at the [Tor exit node installation guide](https://technicalsuwako.moe/blog/set-up-tor-exit-node/) where even though she only covers 2 systems (Devuan and OpenBSD, though she threw in Debian at the very last moment), the Devuan part on how to enable and restart Tor and Unbound on 4 different init systems alone covers almost my entire monitor. + +OK, enough bashing (huhu, bash! use zsh you fucking bloattard! deeeeerp) of the over 2300 year old earth god, I really do respect her extra effort to cover multiple distro's/OS's/init systems, but I used these as an example because she's the only one I know of who does that, whereas everybody else just focusses on Debian stable (and thus with SoystemD) to show you why I can sympetize with all the others.\ +But it does result in situations where even tutorials that cover over systems often fall short.\ +For example [the guide on installing Pleroma on anything other than Debian](https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/installation/freebsd_en/).\ +Even if you follow the steps to the letter, you will fail to install it.\ +I even tried as a test last week on both FreeBSD and OpenBSD, so I know what I'm talking about.\ +Or iRedMail (not going to link to it, because they show the white screen of death if you have JS disabled, even though there's literally no reason at all to require JS).\ +Even though they (claim to) support CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD (and with the exception of Debian and FreeBSD they only claim to support older versions), it's only actually installable on Debian.\ +And even then, if you use Devuan, the installation script will punish you for not having SoystemD installed, and even if you manually remove all the dependencies on SoystemD in the installation script, it'll still demand it.\ +I failed to get it working on both FreeBSD and OpenBSD as well, despite these being allegedly supported.\ +There is someone who made a modified script for Devuan ([click](https://forum.iredmail.org/topic18895-force-install-on-devuan.html)), but that too failed to work when I tried it. diff

technology,internet,darknet,tor,i2p +---- +Here in Japan, new year marks the end of the old story, and the start of the new story, kind of like a rebirth every single year.\ +And since the internet makes things faster, the internet portion of my life restarted a few weeks early.\ +Quite a few things happened; 076.ne.jp's Pleroma instance borked (though 076.moe now has a GNU Social instance), because it borked I got quite a bit of success with my brand new IRC group (XMPP is coming soon), I moved away from the clearnet, and I prefer I2P over Tor now.\ +And this all reminds me once again that not only the modern internet is full of crap, but also that you don't need any of that crap. + +## I2P + +I'll start from the end, because this is the event change that happened first.\ +I used to be a massive Tor fanboy because it cuts out all the middlemen you need to worry about on the clearnet.\ +But while I was already aware of I2P to be a thing, I never really took it seriously because I would have to keep switching between proxies all the time (unless I configure an outproxy, which nobody recommends anyway).\ +However, after exploring it a bit more through [http://reg.i2p/](http://reg.i2p/), I realized how exploring I2P is so much easier than both Tor and clearnet.\ +Because on Tor you really have to know the Hidden Service already, and hope they have a webring so you can explore from there, while on the clearnet the search engines have been made more and more useless, not only because all you can find nowadays is REEEEdit, StackOverflow, Fakebook, and useless AI-generated websoytes filled with mass surveillance (people who have been reading my blog for a while know what I'm talking about), but also because governments keep censoring Goolag more and more (whether it be piracy or "misinformation" (according to them) or whatever else), which automatically affects just about every other search engine too, since there are only 3 major crawlers, 2 of them owned by the same company, and all of them owned by the same institutional investors, and those 3 influence all the "small and independent" crawlers. + +I wrote an entire article about I2P, so find out more [here](/blog/i2p-is-awesome/). + +## GNU Social + +So most of you will know by now, but the Pleroma instance [https://social.076.ne.jp/](https://social.076.ne.jp/) is dead, and will be euthenized by the end of this month.\ +However, loli frog has already set up a replacement, [https://social.076.moe/](https://social.076.moe/), which is a GNU Social instance, and it's advised that users of the Pleroma instance move over to GNU Social.\ +Not only because Pleroma will soon be deleted, but also because GNU Social is so much better. + +GNU Social doesn't require JS, you need to refresh manually in order to see the latest posts (and thus it removes all the distractions), and apparently [it got confirmed you can view it with lynx and w3m too](https://social.076.moe/conversation/1617#notice-2641).\ +So far I find it way more comfortable, Pleroma feels very chaotic in comparison. + +And the lack of all the modernity in GNU Social made me realize that you really don't need any of that.\ +You can still reach out to the wider Fediverse network (or rather networks, because Pleroma is limited to just ActivityPub, whereas GNU Social has access to the Diaspora and OStatus networks on top of that too), and since I have to manually refresh the page in order to see new posts and replies, I instantly noticed a 400% increase in productivity. + +## IRC + +And of course before GNU Social got set up, out of anger of Pleroma just breaking out of nowhere I've set up [an IRC channel that exists exclusively on I2P](http://chikahiroba.i2p/) (the address helper can be found in the menu part of this website).\ +In the first 4 days we've already got 10 or so people joining, many of which are actively talking every single day, and it consists of people from all sorts of countries worldwide too.\ +The most I've seen was yesterday at 12 users online at once, so if you can, please join us over on IRC, we're a very chill club.\ +Though because it's on I2P, it keeps all the low quality people away, which is a major plus too. + +## BSD + +A few months back I finally gave the BSDs a try, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and GhostBSD (which is FreeBSD pre-configured for desktop use).\ +And I fell in love with them, so much so, my servers are now a mix of Devuan GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, and 1 FreeBSD server on one hand, Artix GNU/Linux, Void Linux, and GhostBSD on my PCs on the other hand, and postmarketOS, Mobian, Ubuntu Touch, and GrapheneOS on my smartphones on my dick. + +And honestly, using Linux and the BSDs side by side is quite fun, and also helps me broaden my computer knowledge. + +## It's Web 1.0 all over again + +Now I'll reveal that the title of this blog was not clickbait after all.\ +I2P, GNU Social, IRC, these are all kind of resemblence of the good old Web 1.0, the internet before the normie invasion, before soycial media, and before search engines.\ +Well, GNU Social technically is more on the Web 2.0 side, but considering the rather "old and crusty" tech it uses under the hood (PHP, no JS requirement, it being lightweight, and so on), it does kind of get closer to a glorified guestbook. + +By the way, I'll publish my RSS feed file on the clearnet too now just to make it easier for those of you who can't figure out how to configure your RSS reader to fetch on the darknet.\ +The RSS feeds will have the I2P version, so all links will be based on that.\ +[https://ryocafe.site/blog.atom](https://ryocafe.site/blog.atom) diff --git a/src/blog/websoyte-ui-makes-no-sense/index.md

to load (unless you're something like Goolag Maps or something like that). +* You blanket ban Tor and/or VPN users. +* You overdependent on CDNs to the point that crucial features won't work if you use uMatrix. +* You load fonts from Goolag. +* You have a splash/loading screen. +* You use reCAPTCHA to maybe stop bots (for a few days until they get around that). +* You require users to use specific browsers, specific browser versions, specific operating systems, and/or specific operating system versions. +* You demand users to install a smartphone app or use a smartphone for specific tasks. +* You use 2FA/MFA for logins. +* You hide your communication behind Discucked, Matrix, Slack, or some other chat soyware. + +So how to solve that? + +## Stop requiring JS as a dependency + +Stop using JS unless you REALLY need to, and even then make sure your website is at least fully readable when JS is turned off.\ +The web was never made to depend on JavaScript, it was only ever made to depend on HTML.\ +"But it's current year, webdevs don't modify the DOM anymore."\ +Oh yes we do, every single day!\ +Modifying the DOM **IS** the most basic and most necessary web development skill!!\ +If you can't modify the DOM, then maybe you're not fit to make websites. + +## Don't blanket ban Tor and/or VPN users + +Seriously you're only going to lose customers, time, and money over that!\ +Even the mainstream normies have figured out VPNs, and they're actually using it, what a shock right?\ +Tor isn't as widely used, mainly because of its bad image, but the more governments, major corporations, and the [MAFIAA](/glossary#mafiaa) are going to jointly censor the entire internet and turn it into a mass surveillance dystopian space, the more normies will resort to Tor regardless of image. + +## Don't use CDNs, host locally instead + +Host all ASSets locally instead of relying on CDNs.\ +Loading from CDNs will NOT improve performance, it only makes things worse.\ +Plus most uMatrix users won't mind locally hosted ASSets, the real problems arrise from 3rd party soyces. + +Some arguments are that browsers will cache requests and thus will save bandwidth.\ +This was true 2 decades ago, but browsers in current year cache per domain, so even if the entire world would load the exact same library from the exact same CDN on 20 different websoytes, the browser will separately cache that exact same library 20 times. + +Another argument I keep hearing is that it loads faster if you're far away from the server.\ +Well, the websoyte is already hosted in far away lands anyway, so what's even the point?\ +It makes much more sense for me browsing from Japan to load the HTML, CSS, 5 images, and 1 jQuery file all from 1 random server in Germany than it is to load HTML and CSS from that same server in Germany, then 5 images from a server in Taiwan, then 20 completely unnecessary JS files from Russia, Brazil, Italy, Vietnam, Ausjailia, and Ukraine in random order. + +At the end of the day, all you're doing is making your websoyte load slower, break your own websoyte to privacy minded people, widen the attack vectors for your websoyte, and enable exploiters to insert malware into the library without your knowledge or consent.\ +But at least using CDNs is cool, so that's the only thing that counts, at least according to your university teacher. + +## Host fonts locally, or use the default font + +Download the fonts you want, and host them locally.\ +Or don't load in fonts, nobody gives a fuck about weird looking fonts, people only care about the readable font, which is the browser's default font! + +## Delete bloat so you don't need a loading screen + +I perfectly understand a splash and/or loading screen in video games, as it takes quite a long time to load in 3D models, 8 billion by 8 billion pixel textures, raw WAV files, and so on.\ +Guess what?\ +A website is NOT a video game!\ +If you need a splash and/or loading screen to hide the fact your websoyte is broken before you finally let me in, then your websoyte is plain broken, even after everything has been loaded!\ +Simply remove all the bloat, and there'll magically be no longer a need for a splash/loading screen. + +## Accept the fact you can't stop bots, and become user friendly again + +Don't use reCAPTCHA.\ +If you really need it, there's also hCAPTCHA, or the classic ones.\ +There's no use to be as hostile as possible towards actual humans just to stop a bot or 2 for a few days. + +## KISS! (Keep It Simple, Stupid) + +Make your website accessible on most or all browsers and all operating systems.\ +Sure, it's hard to keep up with all of them, but that's why standards exist.\ +Thanks to standards, you don't need to worry about all the different browsers and OS's, though it's still good practise to test in as many of them as possible. + +## Keep the web browser-based + +Websites should always be accessible from PC browsers without any extra hurdles.\ +Seriously, stop discriminating against users of real computers by enforcing the use of the NWO device that is the smartphone! + +## Encourage users to use a strong password + +Again, don't force people to use smartphones, even for logins!\ +MFA has nothing to do with security, and everything to do with tracking you by linking your PC's browser to your smartphone, and track you using your smartphone instead of PC browser.\ +I'm still OK with Authenticator-style OTP ones, because at least it's just a 6 digit code, and you can still do it on your PC, which mitigates the privacy issues.\ +But if you make it so that it ONLY works on specific Authenticator apps (some disservices started doing so!), then you're pure evil. + +A little technological secret I want to share with you that apparently very few people know, but will make you no longer want to use MFA: password managers exist!\ +GNU Pass is by far the best password manager.\ +Password managers should ALWAYS be PGP encrypted and local (so no internet connection needed!).\ +It's very important, because password managers that store passwords "in the cloud" (which are all the services you need to avoid at all cost) always end up getting hacked sooner or later, local ones only will if you're a complete retard. + +## Keep communications open, preferably in self-hosted forums + +Don't hide your community behind a walled garden, open communication using forums remain superior for all sorts of reasons.\ +I'll make a post about that next time. + +The only chat software that's good is XMPP, but since normies generally don't understand it somehow, that too should not be used as part of your community.\ +I have warned forum owners about the use of Discucked back in 2015 and 2016, and only 2 owners actually listened (both being modding communities for DS games).\ +One of them made strict rules against sharing Discucked invite links, but then her forum memebers threw her under the bus by setting up a Discucked chatroom behind her back, which then destroyed her forum so much that the forum no longer exists (dopemine is really THIS harmful!).\ +The other one wasn't as strict, but his forum too is losing ground to Discucked, and is even considering now to quit his forum in favor for Discucked. + +All the rest of them who didn't listen gladly gave up their sovereign space on the internet and accepted the digital handcuffs in a digital prison, because the latter is more "convenient" than the former... diff --git

it's easier for the machine, easier for the developer, way more optimal performance, way more easier to deploy the final release, and so on. + +As for the deployment, what do you think is easier for your normie clients?\ +Having to open up the terminal, login to SSH, create a new user, `sudo su - newuser`, clone the Git repository, install a bunch of dependencies through `apt-get`, run Composer/go build/NPM/Yarn/whatever to install even more bloat (I mean dependencies), configure stuff, run the migrations command, activate soystemd (only) services, put a service restart command in cron to automagically restart your web "app" from time to time because it's so bloated that it keeps crashing all the time, and then continue the setup through the browser?\ +Or just having to upload the files using (S)FTP, renaming the config file, filling in the DB details, create a DB in phpMyAdmin, run the installer script, and call it a day? + +For the people calling me a boomer for refusing to learn different languages, as a matter of fact, I can program in C and C++ very well too, but then again these aren't webdev languages.\ +I can write JS code, I can write C# scripts in Unity (RIP), I can read Java, Ruby, Kotlin, Python, Go, and Swift pretty well (though not really make stuff in it), and I'm even in the process of learning Go and Python, because these are seemingly the only 2 trendy languages that don't seem to go away anytime soon.\ +I patiently held back on these 2 until I concluded that they're not yet another meme languages that explode in poplarity for a year or 2, and then nobody cares anymore.\ +Though not a fan of Python for its dependency hell situation in which each random `pacman -Syyu` command can break an entire application due to a version mismatch of 1
