How do you manage computer security in your devices?

I feel that just common sense isn't enough nowadays, because of several reasons:

- Browsers especially (even if you disable JavaScript, which is often not feasible in many sites), but also email clients, torrent clients... can all be exploited somewhat easily.
- Some games require kernel-level anti-cheats, which have complete access to your computer. Even if you trust the developer, these kernel drivers are often buggy and can be leveraged by malware.
- Legitimate programs or Steam games might receive malicious updates if the developer or their supply chain is compromised.
- If you use third-party dependencies for development, you might also be compromised if any of them (or their recursive dependencies) are malicious, not uncommon in ecosystems like npm.
- If you play doujin games or eroge, you often have to download them from random untrusted sources.

I've concluded that it's not really possible to trust a computer if you use it for activities like these.

I'm thinking about getting a second device only for sensitive stuff, like banking, shopping and managing passwords. It seems a bit of a hassle, but I can't think of any other way.

Note I'm not opposed to VPNs in practice. I'm just opposed to buying a commercial one and thinking it equals safety. Most people buying VPNs have absolutely no need for them.

I set up my own using either cheap VPS servers. For example, the gateway into my media server is a VPS I pay like $3 a month for or something like that. It serves as the log-in portal for clients. Then it passes along the information to connect to the media server (the current IP address) and creds to the media server to allow the log-in. I'm not doing anything like operating a private VPN for my users to connect. Since it would require configuration on each and every device/network they might use. I just accept connections from the entire internet but only talk back if the right IP is calling as verified by the VPS.

In other words. I don't mind exposing one of my home machines/servers to the internet at large. I'm just careful about how I do it and who I let them talk to. I don't do things like use a VPN to download torrents for example.

The thing I'm seeing in the wild most often now with people getting auto-exploited is because of IPv6. Lots of people demand an IPv6 address these days because it's the only way they can get a public IP. Since so many new ISPs are CGNAT. What these people fail to realize is once they get their wish each and every device within their own LAN is not talking directly through the internet. As opposed to the typical IPv4 set-up where they're all behind a NAT serving as a poor man's firewall.

So what ends up happening is their devices constantly get port scanned and spammed with ssh log-in attempts. Many of which work because most people don't bother to secure anything. This is how all those Ring cameras and all the "smart" devices get pwned.

What you need to do is setup a firewall and grep through your log files out of habit. I've slipped up many times only to catch it a day or two later. But I only caught things because I bothered to read my log files or notice when something wasn't right. Like some process eating cpu/bandwidth that I know isn't supposed to be there. Generally, I've been okay though because I don't do stupid things.

In summary: The most important thing is a proper firewall. The second most important thing is properly configured web browser. The third is to not do stupid stuff. Like instaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Ojou-sama... Do you live in a mansion?
My house is small and comfy. When I ran the network I bought a lot of cable. Why do one drop when you can do 5? I made sure I had at least 4 ports anywhere I put them. I also did a bunch of direct runs so I could pipe usb and hdmi devices over ethernet. That way I could do things like play video games on the same system from any TV in my house. Living room+bedroom TV have usb hubs under them. I can pause a game. Walk into the other room. Plug a controller in and keep going. The gaming machine they're both connected to is back in the server rack with all the other stuff like the media server.
>How'd you do the thing with the flash drive?
I use OpenBSD but you can do it with any UNIX OS and the tools that come with it. shred/dd for example. You just write a small script so you can invoke them to wipe the drives with one command.
>And if someone did steal the system, they could see the partition table and see the encrypted drives, couldn't they?
It would depend on their level of skill. 99% of people that would break into my home to steal it are just going to assume it's the main installation and nuke the data on the HDDs to re-sell it. The point is they can't access the main install without the dongle+password. If a state level actor gets it I'm sure they have a way to get in. But they're really going to have to work for it. That or beat me with a pipe and/or lock me in solitary until I cough up the password. But if I destroy the thumb drive even I can't get back into it. Since the password is useless without that key.

>Were/are you a CISO in some company?
I went to school to learn CS+Networking. Although I was already pretty much self taught at that time. I've mostly worked freelance all my life because I hate having bosses. But I've been brought in as contractor more than once to supervise setup of a network or fixing someone else's mistake. I mostly do it because it's fun and I've been fascinated by it since I first helped a family friend set-up a network for our family business as a young child. To give you an idea of how long ago that was: We used vampire taps.

speaking about games, what do you personally use to play? i have pretty much the same setup (openbsd with base besides browser and stuff like ffmpeg for multimedia) and i was thinking about making a rig for playing emulators up to ryujinx/forks + proton, and my idea was to make a separate desktop with linux. do you think it makes sense to separate things?
i would like it to be openbsd still but i never ported anything on the system (still), but we do have DRI up to date with linux now theoretically. otherwise i thought about just buying consoles and mod them but some are still pretty expensive af.

also, what do you think about anonymizing networks? i had a pretty paranoid period where i exclusively run a tor transparent proxy for about a year but then i thought that running EVERYTHING through unknown computers 24/7 is pretty risky and just a massive red spot for LE. hell, i even tried using ftp(1) with a perl script to parse html as my only browser for a while, but now i use ungoogled chromium otherwise i can't post on IBs (unless you know how to do magic with nc(1) i guess)

I'm feeling really, really tempted to get a 5090 even though it's a massive scam and it's months worth of savings. It's not the rational thing to do, but I do AI stuff a lot and it brings me joy. (no I don't condone AI shitting up the internet and art)
There's also 3D modeling I want to take more seriously after Palworld reignited my passion for building stuff. Obviously you don't actually need a top of the line card to do this stuff, but it does allow more geometry to be active and speeds up rendering massively. More VRAM means you can have more processes open so jumping between programs is smoother.
AAA gaming sucks apart from Capcom so that doesn't really enter the equation at all. I guess ironically retro pixel filters are known to be VERY demanding if I decide to do that. Might be more demanding on CPU, though, I can't remember.
I'm in that CG tracker that went private 5 years ago so software and assets are no issue, but man this is still such a huge amount of money.

If you have no AI plans, AMD is definitely something you can do as a cheaper and much better price point. The 9950X3D is probably something you should only buy if you already have specific plans to make use of it extensely, which most people don't. The 9800 is already really powerful at its price and that's why it's so popular.

>One of the difficulties in doing this is that everything I get has to be from a local store ...I'd like to please ask for help choosing a graphics card, motherboard and PSU, then RAM if necessary.

Sorry, to be clear I more meant I can't order off Newegg, Amazon etc or buy second hand because the purchase is being made by my mother's company and has to be done locally. It's a chain and they have a website: https://www.pbtech.co.nz/
Another store that sometimes has more niche products is https://computerlounge.co.nz/. I don't know if I can buy from them in this instance however.
The 9800 sounds good. I'm sometimes a bit wary of buying a very popular part, or even something popular outside of hardware, because it often seems like it's for a common use case, but I suppose I fit such a case when it comes to PC use. And thank you for reading my post, sorry I got a bit rambly.

Hmm... Well, I'm not too familiar with AMD cards but I'd say you want at LEAST 12gb of VRAM. Personally I don't think you should bother buying a card with less than 16gb. If you can't afford the extra $100 New Zealand bucks (or the company rather) then save until you can.
But... hmm.. I just really don't know AMD stuff. I haven't had an AMD GPU since like 2002 or something. I'm just too paranoid over driver issues with obscure emulators and stuff. It's better these days, though.

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).

Oh, nice. The stuff I've seen is images included with a URL. Like an introductory message that includes "external media" to load an image, but it's a very static thing. I saved a card like a year ago where a girl would send pictures and it seemed elaborate, but I should look at it again and see if it works on deepseek.
I'm thinking the ideal is probably something that incorporates a model to summarize the chat environment into descriptive natural language and then have that converted into booru tags. I'm pretty sure those models exist, but I'm not sure if anyone has incorporated a streamlined way to do it in chat.

You mean in sillytavern? there was a /vg/ poster who had a fully animated 3D model along with voiceover who had it setup in sillytavern. sillytavern doesn't support image generation in the same way as risu, and as far as I know there is no easy way to AUTOMATICALLY generate an image after every message. risu can connect to comfy UI (or other image gen methods such as an novelAI sub) if you use it locally and there is the functionality to convert your last message into an image prompt and send that prompt to your comfy UI workflow or whatever to spit out and image automatically, which is pretty nice.

there's a variety of assetbots, but something like this should give you a general idea of what to expect
https://realm.risuai.net/character/5dc9dc70-48ff-434a-b85f-3234af1308ce

and there's even assetbots with their own BGMs that try to emulate a VN feel
https://realm.risuai.net/character/b53b855a-c986-4ec6-8813-f058160cf15c

I think ST has everything Risu AI does since they use the same card format, the V2 thing that people download from websites. But, it seems Risu AI adds some buttons it can interpret from lorebook entries? Custom commands? I don't quite get it. The "modules" it lists are Lorebook entries with the name of said module and they're named like slash commands so I can't tell if they're meant to be typed in Ritsu.
Pic related is the Stable Diffusion lorebook entry with the /st/ name, which happens to also be the SillyTavern command to generate using SD, but I don't know how this could do anything on its own. The card description makes it sound like it's just loading this guide it when the user types /sd to prompt. Well, hmm... if it's called /sd I guess it's added to the context when /sd is invoked? But how does Ritsu invoke it? Hmm... I'd have to look at it, but I'm quite happy with ST and don't want to learn two different chat interfaces with their own extensions. I'm sure ST has a way to invoke it automatically somehow. Whether Ritsu or ST it needs a way to convert natural conversation text into booru tags so I'm not sure how that works. GPT4 wasn't able to do that a year ago, but maybe the newer models can. Multimodal? Whatever.
I need to do more research into ST, too, since I want to start ERPing with bots again.

I remember seeing the extension stuff for the live2D stuff for sillytavern like, uhhh.. a year and half a ago or so? At the time it was very poorly set up and a total CPU hog (yes it used CPU for some reason) and had some major limitations. I think I remember reading about a possible 3D thing, but I think it specifically uses vtuber or VR Chat models. I guess people work with what they're familiar with. This is stuff people pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to commission to create due to the work involved so it's certainly out of reach of most people to create unless they really, really like a specific character and plan to communicate with it extensively. It would be a lot more convenient if it was something people could freely import and export from common programs like blender with a common shared skeleton and morph/blendshapes/whatever system for emotions. Hell, just use koikatsu or something.

>I think ST has everything Risu AI does
By this I mean capabilities, not using the same format for things. It seems like the Koreans have a format that they support and stick to, though, while ST is overwhelming to people with lots of different stuff that few people utilize. ST can do background music and sounds and TTS and all that other stuff, but few people do it since it's exhausting to set up... for one character.

Actually I downloaded Risu to look at the card and... neat. I don't understand Korean so I don't really understand most of it, but I see embedded scripts and custom CSS and stuff? That's pretty cool, but also intimidating. I didn't actually see it in action since I'm too lazy to plug in a bunch of model data, but it seems promising.
Do you have an example of a card that does the stable diffusion generation thing for each reply? Maybe one with an emotion image set too? I'm just trying to figure out of I should consider trying to move if it's not overly complicated.
It might be better if I just try to get something working in SillyTavern since it's what I know and I'm not going to learn programming to write ERP cards.

Anyone else been messing around with the stable diffusion algorithm or anything in a similar vein?
It's a bit hard to make it do exactly what you want but if you're extremely descriptive in the prompt or just use a couple words it gives some pretty good results. It seems to struggle a lot with appendages but faces come out surprisingly well most of the time.

Aside from having a 3070 i just followed this guide I found on /g/ https://rentry.org/voldy to get things setup and it was pretty painless.

Good lord. ComfyUI is... AWFUL. I can appreciate the tongue-in-cheek name, but that's about it. Sadly most stuff released in the past year or so is aimed at this thing because the older UIs stopped getting big updates. If you want to try generating any of the new video stuff, you unfortunately have to do it here.
This is definitely a UI made for programmers because it makes my eyes bleed. Someone looked at texture stuff for 3D models and decided "Hey, usable UIs are too good, let's replicate that for image generation!"

I'm trying out some ComfyUI workflows. I think ComfyUI is the solution to SillyTavern integration if you can get some sort of text interpretation model loaded to take chat text and convert it into booru tags. Or maybe it's something that should be done in ST itself?
Well, whatever. Either way, ComfyUI does indeed generate faster, although I'm not sure why ADetailer is taking so long here.

Oh, and after about a week of looking at giant comparison images I have the Kissumix 2025 FINAL model made, assembled from the layers of like 8 other models. I'll upload it later. Unless something drastic happens it's the last SD model I make in 2025. I'm not sure what else could happen with the tech.

Decided to take a more interesting approach and see if I can come up with a solution that doesn't involve a concentric circle.

The first shape that comes to mind is, a rectangle inscribed inside the circle but that doesn't seem to be possible. As the rectangle dimensions needed to create equal area portions result in one of the sides being longer than the circles diameter. I used pythagorean theorem to calculate chord length in terms of apothem and radius. The apothem can be rewriten as the rectangle width/2. So I can use this to write the area of the rectangle in terms of chord length and radius. Then by applying the 1/2 circle area constraint from >>4184 on the rectangle area I could do a bunch of algebra and solve for chord length in terms of radius. I may have messed up my algebra and lost track of roots but I ended up getting length ~= 1.82 * radius. Taking this value and plugging it back into the chord formula to solve for the other side of the rectangle I get width ~= 2.706 * radius. This width value is obviously larger than circle's diameter of 2 * radius.

Seeing as a rectangle doesn't work, I doubt any regular, inscribed, polygon fits the conditions (a triangle probably can).
I wonder if there is any inscribed polygon that can satisfy the OP constraints and do these polygons have to be convex or have to be concave or can they be either (excluding triangles)?

Do you use any software that other people may not know about that you like?
I started using (and eventually even bought!) this thing called Wallpaper Slideshow after trying a bunch of free ones and getting frustrated. https://www.gphotoshow.com/wallpaper-slideshow-pro.php
Basically, you give it folder(s) of your choice and it will assemble a collage image of them and make it your background. You can configure it with a timer that changes it and I have it set to 15 minutes. I had originally used John's Background Switcher that someone thankfully linked to me a few months ago: >>91800 https://johnsad.ventures/software/backgroundswitcher/
I liked this one more because there's less wasted space, more options, and it just generally seems to assemble the image better. I turn it off before I go to bed each night though because I'm worried that it's keeping my hard drive active all day, which probably isn't good. I should maybe research that sometime...

This pairs well with something like Grabber ( https://github.com/Bionus/imgbrd-grabber ) that can bulk download tags from booru sites.
Of course, this stuff is kind of wasteful if you don't have an extra monitor with a wallpaper that's largely visible, but I find myself like that sometimes so it's pretty nice.

I've been very annoyed with the small size of icons in Windows 10 on this higher resolution monitor and after a bunch of searching I found a solution!

Unfortunately ObjectDock has some weaknesses, like not showing a little hover pop-up preview if you have multiple windows of a program open like a browser or folders. Maybe I can find a way to sneak in the old taskbar somewhere.

Atmosphere is a nice piece of software for wangblows that generates background noises and sounds, seemingly abandoned by the developers and even the website is long gone. The default sounds it comes with are kinda bad though, but as I suspected, you can very easily change them by replacing the original files in the bin folder with your own by exporting an OGG file and renaming it into .isx using audacity. I tried VLC but Im assuming any media player can play these files to check which ones you want to replace.
I just changed the campfire sound into a nice swaying trees sound, there's also a whole array of sounds that play at random intervals (like thunder and a bunch of nature noises) which you can change to your liking.

Since Nintendo is so keen on using SD cards for physical media and seems to be optimizing the size of their games anyway, wouldn't it theoretically be possible to allow the Switch 2's firmware to write and add potential DLC to a game's initial physical release, allowing the physical edition to stay up to date at no additional cost? I might be wrong on this, but I think to have heard that Switch 2 cards are typically around 64 GB, with most first party titles not exceeding 40 - 50 GBs in size, meaning there would still be a good amount of space left that could be used for an idea like this and I've never heard of a Nintendo game that is bigger than 64 GB even with all DLC included. I think this would also highlight their obsession with chip-based game storage, disc-based system would require an integrated burner to realize this.

Sets it is. I am going to make one based on red-black trees (as I hear that's what the C++ STL uses for sets) since I can already easily convert my hashmap to a hashset if I wanted.

I just made a partial set implementation based on a regular old binary-tree. I am enjoying learning more about templates - My current tree is backed by a vector and I am using sentinel values to mark empty nodes (ex. INT_MIN for int or "\0\0" for strings) and a templated trait to define each sentinel value per type in a generic way - that way I don't have to use any extra memory. I considered using a vector of std::optional but that takes at least another byte, potentially up to 4, same as making a custom wrapper struct. Unfortunately once I move on to the red-black tree I will need to store another bit somewhere for the color, so maybe a custom wrapper and some memory overhead is inevitable. Or I can make a scapegoat tree instead?

Any 3D programmer anon know how I can get the right model to look like the one on the left?
Left is how it's previewed in https://www.deviantart.com/sab64/art/MMD-Model-Roon-Download-970826887 and right is how my code is rendering it. I don't know if it's the lighting or if I'm missing some fundamental concept in 3D rendering, but it looks so dull.
I have the texture and the specular map loaded. Does it look like it's a problem with the lighting, a problem with the specular, or something completely different? Or is it hard to tell just from the screenshots...

Toon shading is a pretty simple concept, once you learn it. You just clamp the range of the color values to certain points within the range and voila, you have your 3 shade toon shading. Left turns into right.

There's been a lot of chatter lately about Deepseek. In the online circles I'm in, people have a politics-colored understanding, more or less saying "American tech companies couldn't do this, but an opensource Chinese company could and American tech companies are in 'damage control'". Which... I really don't understand. If it's an open source model, like Llama was, for example, I don't see how this doesn't just cause there to be a proliferation of much more efficient and performant models -- the same way after Llama became available, sudden there was Phi from Microsoft, Gemma from Google, Mistral, and others.

Qwen is the best all purpose model for sizes below Deepseek locally except for translation which Gemma 3 has everyone beat there. It's to the point now we're talking about having a 27B parameter model LLM on average that beats out DeepL which was the go to translator for machine translated Japanese for years after Google Translate fell out of favor. You can run a quantized version they trained to be equal to the full version for a slight hit on a 16GB GPU.

After some hours of frustration (I hate ComfyUI but I'm slowly getting used to it) I have Joycaption set up which is a visual caption model or whatever it's called. You give it a picture and it captions it.
HOWEVER, it's a text model that you can prompt. You tell it what to do with the visual information. While it's not on the level of big models or obviously the online stuff, having the image itself being commented on is quite amazing.
Oh, and it's uncensored. It comments on body parts including nipples and penises and all that other fun stuff. Lots of fun (or ero) to be had with prompt adjustments.

The model (which is autodownloaded by comfyUI if you do the thing below)
https://github.com/fpgaminer/joycaption

The workflow I finally got to work: https://github.com/judian17/ComfyUI-joycaption-beta-one-GGUF

It's pretty damn amazing if I do say so myself. I think I'm going to go around kissu captioning stuff hehehe.
The full quality version of the model is like 14gb or so, so unfortunately it's occupying that territory where you need a 3090 or above. This workflow thing is loading it twice so I have the upper thingie set to the low quant (inferior quality, smaller size) thing set up. I tried deleting it but then the prompt was rejected, so I need to figure out how to remove that. I'm sure it was something simple I missed. Anyway... imagine the possibilities.

There are better local VLM models that can do better if you can tolerate censorship, Qwen-VL is more uncensored than InternVL but yeah, for simpler things and NSFW, Joycaption is better. Both of the models families mentioned are way bigger than your 14GB for some of the largest models.

Yeah, deepseek is the best for porn if you want it. Not having to deal with censorship is a golden ticket to a good fap session. But it's still not perfect and can't replace writing it yourself since you do need to steer it heavily towards a perfect narrative.

I'm considering getting a burner phone to give for promotions and advertisements and such but I'm not sure what the cheapest option out there is for such purpose. Obviously cheap flip phones would be my best bet for the physical hardware but when it comes to the service itself everything seems super pricey at $15 a month minimum, with and extra $10 a month tacked on later secretly to fuck you.

What makes creating an imageboard so complex anyways? When I think about it you should have a thing that displays threads and posts, each containing certain characteristics that they're made up of. And then you assign those posts to threads based off of a connection and then sort those posts by their post number within that thread. Given that why in the world do moderation actions take so long on vichan when really it should be an instantaneous action of removing that association or assigning it to a different thread value? I was thinking about this in the car and no matter how I try to work my head around it, this programming stuff makes no sense to me.

Well everyone uses vichan and others for a reason. I think it might be largely that good software doesn't necessarily make a good user experience, or mod experience. Then there's the thing that there's no promise that said software will end up being used by any popular enough board.
In the end "good enough" is all that is needed.

Wait this sounded smarter in my head. I mean, good software for users isn't necessarily good for mods and vise versa.

I think the main reason people use vichan is because the other imageboard software is all ugly and overly modernized when the average altchan is tiny as hell and performance does not matter one bit.
Now can you change the other softwares to look more like vichan? Sure, but you may as well just install vichan. It's familiar and loved by many. Very easy to configure too once you're read through the config.php documentation and the templates are incredibly easy to change. I don't know if I trust the team that took over the vichan codebase though ever since people circling around a certain person were handed power.

>>4070
>>4075
A big reason why vichan takes a long time to perform actions is because vichan cares about the lurker experience and generates a ton of static pages, but it does so without much caching of their own. When you move one post from one thread to another you'll likely need to regenerate both those threads, your /all/ page, your /recent/ page which is usually the frontpage, you might need to regenerate the catalog, you'll also likely need to regenerate several pages on the index because you moving a thread will shift every position of every thread and those will need to be regenerated on the index which again means querying and shuffling through all the threads and replies a dozen times.

It is possible to code your way into optimizing this into being a slightly more performant experience, but there's no point unless you're 4chan tier size, even then it's even easier to just set up multiple tiny servers to spread the load and a chron timer to update the frontpage every now and then instead of every single post like vichan does by default. I think Infinity/OpenIB used the chron timer, and it's possible to just not regenerate the index pages at every single post as well with a timer and just being okay with a moved or deleted post to hang around in the index/pagination for slightly longer than it should be there and people having to wait a tiny bit longer for new posts to show up outside the threads they have open.

If 4chan can get Futaba to run well, anyone can get anything to run well with a bit of work. They won't need to though.

Is anyone else thinking or already in the process of making their own video game? It's getting easier and easier with stuff like RPGMaker or Unreal and the knowledge is out there in many forms. Not to mention the AI assistance out there, although people shouldn't rely on that and should I think it should instead be used to plug holes with lots of supervision.
Of course the flipside of that is that there's a ton of them being released all the time so you need to stand out. Personally, I think kissu has people that could make such things.
If you are you can use this thread to blog or talk about things relating to it!

Your human analysis doesn't seem as on point if you're failing to present your idea in a manner that connects. It seems more an exercise in trying to pleasure yourself through a bit of bullying on the assumption that the efforts will most likely amount to nothing because of your belief that not enough motivation or willpower exists. I don't believe your logic to be on point so I simply reject your accusations and believe what I hold to be true to be as such. I will make my game, partly because I want others to play it, true, but I want someone else like myself to experience the satisfaction I think I would feel were this dream game to come out.

Although it will probably take a good deal of time to iron out the art and programming skills I'd need to make my game a reality, I don't think I'll have to worry so much since I'll have plenty of time eventually since I have money.

Didn't use to be so. I know what you mean. Back in the glory days of /jp/, 15 years ago, I looked down on crossboarders, let alone people who are from outside 4chan or use normie hangouts like reddit

But otaku culture has changed, and so have I. I use almost all social media now, in addition to discord.
