What video players do people use these days? I've been using mpc-hc, but the final version was released in 2017 so maybe there's something newer and better out. I know there's one some people here use with a similar name, but it has basically no UI so I don't like it.

stuff I would like in my image viewer

- way to quickly edit a lot of pictures
- by censoring out parts of a picture
- basic filters and image adjustments
- adjust levels
- red eye removal
- temporarily reflect pictures so they look new
- move pictures to new folder
- without a face
- with only male, furry faces

I'm too scared to open up issues for them though.

Aren't those features for an image editor not an image viewer? And the last one for an image tagger.
I've always wanted some automatic image tagging program. I know there's Hydrus but I think it's just manual.

In light of the hack I had a thoght in the shower that imageboards should be hashing information such as IP addresses, emails and so on.

But instead of a one way hash where the information is never retrievable, it's a 2way hash that does not hold the key on a server. Instead people who need to see the information would be give a userscript containing the key which would decrypt information on a need to know basis.

That means that a hack would have to break through two levels of security to obtain any useful information.

My biggest concern is performance. But maybe WASM can get around that or mods would use a dedicated desktop app with more processing power available.

Public key encryption is cheap especially when TLS uses it so even web browsers already have that function and there is a Web Crypto API. Why would it be expensive?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Crypto_API
The only issue is making sure the user is not dumb and actually has the private key on demand. Good luck ensuring that. And because of that, I don't think it works.
I think doing a one way encryption with well known advanced algorithms is enough. Consider that PBKDF2 based on SHA2-256 is well known and used in the aforementioned Web Crypto API.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/deriveKey#pbkdf2
Just using basic principles to reason using thermodynamics means you have to use more energy than a supernova from an average sized star to brute force SHA2-256 has stood the test of time for 20+ years. Unless we get quantum computers worth something other than being able to generate citations in research papers, I expect it to keep standing the test of time.

What ever happened with the teamspeak revamp? I remember hearing people make a bunch of noise about it leading up to its release and theorizing that it could be the discord killer, but it's been a few months now I think and all that talk seems to have faded away. You'd think that with it being a private alternative that groups could run outside the purview of some top level moderation that more of the piracy/privacy and such groups would move over to it instead of relying on discord, but I don't think I've seen any change in how TL groups advertise themselves.

I can't imagine anything being a discord killer, it's just too big. Specialization is what's needed, and I don't think privacy is enough on its own. It's kind of the problem of discord in that it tries to be everything, as true of most tech companies these days.

That's insane. Man, all this LLM really is making a new world for us and we need to be educated about it.
It kind of reminds me of how Japanese artists in the beginning of the digital works would censor using just darkened squares or inversed colors, but sadly it became public knowledge to everyone that you could easily reverse it. I think they knew it was reversible and it was a cheeky way to share it.

I doubt it will work on static mosaics. There'd need to be some sort of pattern to follow for process of elimination to occur. The best AI could do is approximate the most likely path an artist would take with brush strokes and color going off of what other artists have done. It could get really close unless the artist throws a curve ball and renders the censored portion differently.

Hello /maho/, do you like keyboards? They're your main method of interfacing with your computer and the Internet at large, most of you probably spend the majority of your day behind one, so let's talk about them!

Here is a keyboard I picked up recently, it's a Focus FK-2001 made in the year 1995. This is around the start of the proliferation of cheap personal computers, which obviously necessitated cutting costs. Keyboards are a major area where manufacturers cut costs, and thus, the late 90s and the early 2000s saw a deluge of cheap, nasty rubber dome over membrane keyboards.

This one is still a mechanical keyboard, however, just not a very good one. It eschews the nice switches made by Alps Electric found in older keyboards in favor of cheap clones which don't feel or sound nearly as good. The case is light and creaky and is held together by clips which snap off easily. The dust cover is pretty cool though, and I do really like the look of the keyboard, particularly the keycaps, the Ctrl, Shift, and Alt legends are red, green, and blue respectively, which was supposed to help users of WordPerfect, I believe.

All in all, a pretty mediocre old board, I'll just be taking the keycaps and putting them on a custom keyboard build, and that's about it.

I'm not a keyboard enthusiast, but I do enjoy a nice mechanical keyboard. I currently have a Das Keyboard 4 Professional with CherryMX Blue switches. Practically, I've had it for years. I used to have the same exact keyboard, but through my own misfortune spilled a glass of water all over the keyboard and it never worked properly again... Just recently, as in a few months ago, I was browsing a local thrift store and managed to come across the same model I had previously in perfectly working condition.

The thread of fate was severed and I somehow found a restore point (´• ω •`)

Yes, I'm putting together a custom Alps keyboard build and I will be using the keycaps off this board on it.

>>2879
Definitely not my style, but the K70 is undeniably a modern classic. There must be a way to turn off the backlighting, check your manual.

>>2880
Yes and no. There used to be a great variety in mechanical keyboards with many different types of switches. Nowadays, the vast, vast majority of them come with Cherry MX mechanical switches (or clones thereof), which survived the proliferation of cheap personal computers by being relatively robust so they clung on in industrial and point of sale applications.

The difference between a cheap and an expensive OEM keyboard which uses Cherry MX-type switches is mostly just build quality, you can get the best of the best for like 120 bucks unless you go for one with a machined aluminium chassis, which just isn't worth it for most people.

>>2881
Congrats! It's a decent board, I've owned one myself. Make sure to keep your water away from now on.

MORE AI STUFF! It's weird how this is all happening at once. Singularity is near?

Alright, there's another AI thing people are talking about, but this time it shouldn't be very controversial:
https://beta.character.ai/
Using a temporary email service (just google 'temporary email') you can make an account and start having conversations with bots. (Write down the email though because it's your login info)
But, these bots are actually good. EXTREMELY good. Like, "is this really a bot?" good. I talked with a vtuber and had an argument and it went very well. Too well, almost. I don't know how varied the stuff is, but they're really entertaining when I talked to Mario and even a vtuber.
Sadly, it's gaining in popularity rapidly so the service is getting slower and it might even crash on you.

It says "beta" all over the site, presumably this is in the public testing phase and once it leaves beta it's going to cost money, so it's best to have fun with this now while we still can (and before it gets neutered to look good for investors or advertisers).

I think on an assistant front, outside of knowledge and hallucinations and boundaries due to "safety" and other policies, AI is as good as it will get and improved versions will really only improve or regress on the exceptions I mentioned. But otherwise, most of them are as good as they will be. However, for roleplaying, I think there is still potential for things to get better and for things to take a different path since we are really trying to twist the arm of assistant chatbots to roleplay when that was not what they were built on. And I don't see them actually ever learning and generalizing how to do it. In which case, all the synthetic conversions and teaching a chatbot how to be a good assistant and etc. won't do anyone much good. Still now, people mention how good old C.AI was and I truly believe that it was because of them using no synthetic data which became a plague starting around the Llama 2 era. Models got "smarter" but they lost their soul in the process. Unfortunately, no one outside of a big business has the resources to recreate a chatbot like that from scratch. Hopefully someone explores more on this front when local hardware gets more powerful for training.

Not stuck anymore on Mount Moon but fails to understand Rock Tunnel and getting to Lavender Town. Also there is a "competing" version of it using Gemini but the person running it is a mouthbreather not doing a like for like comparison and giving it all sorts of help like a minimap aid and etc.
Claude's main weakness is not enough long context at 200k while Gemini has 1M tokens context window, for example. I think also the thinking isn't solid on these models yet, we may need to see another iteration before the models have enough thinking prowess to beat the games.
