Excuse pic of a computer screen, btw, please
@Tyler Baker Squarespace is probably far-leftists, but the site is very easy to use.
Today I was thinking about the possibility of an open source web search engine. One of the biggest criticisms that I think we on the alt-right have about tech companies is their obvious biases and google is no exception. However in trying to establish (and correct for) biases explicity it is hard to object to search engine results because it's hard to audit how those results were generated. For this reason I think web search engines being open source would be quite natural, because then people could defend/attack/suggest improvements to the methodology. In that vain I assumed I couldn't have been the first person to have thought of the idea of an open source web search engine before and it turns out there a handful. The first I found was https://www.gigablast.com
I searched "alt right" there and I think the results are better than google's.
I also found YaCy though I played with it less, it integrates being a search engine with also being P2P. https://yacy.net/en/ That's a nice feature though I wasn't even thinking that far when I first started on this research.
Of course with web search engines the code is only one piece of the puzzle, the other piece of the puzzle is what websites are indexed, i.e. what data is "the fodder" on which the web search is based.
I do wonder if there's any utility this tech could provide for the alt-right. I'm always interested in alt-tech.
@sigruna14 I know you're an alt-tech guru I would be interested in your hot take (and anyone else's)
YACY is a brilliant idea. Didnโt work too well for me but I think itโs in alpha still
Anything that furthers the glory of our movement is worthy, however, we have to get people to actually use it. I don't think most people use Google for their search. I think people use them for Chrome, maps, GMail, Smart Lock, Android etc, and the search just happens to integrate with all that. If we really want the take down Google, we need to replace their functionality.
@John O - Sorry for the delayed reply. What is it you're trying to do?
It's cool, talked to my cousin
Thanks @Deleted User
@Deleted User alright, so I'm installing Debian, and trying to install lxqt, but when I input apt install sudo lxqt, it says it can't find it
E: unable to locate package lxqt
โsudoโ should be input before anything else. It indicates that the command should be run with root permissions.
So a good thing to try next would be โsudo apt-get install lxqtโ
@John O -#7072
I botched the quotes but hopefully you get the idea
@Deleted User I did, and it said something along the lines of an unrecognized command. I'll get back to it later.
Iโm not very familiar with Debian, but the next thing to try would be the same command, except type โaptโ instead of โapt-getโ
sudo apt-get me a GUI so I donโt have to deal with all this nonsense :p
@celticflame With all the crypto stuff going on, you could try to sell your goods on https://www.openbazaar.org/
I've never tried OpenBazaar, but accepting bitcoin for your goods would be a good move in any case
A lot of people are moving from tor to openbazaar
Idk if OpenBazaar is enough for marketing a business. But accepting bitcoin is a big benefit to your business
Yeah it needs to be developed more before it can be completely trusted.
We need something like Etsy to accept bitcoin
Overstock.com accepts bitcoin, or at least it did. I know a lot of merchants have been having problems because the fees and transaction times are too slow
@this_that5553it sounds neat,but still really unsure of bitcoin,don't know all that much of it. But i like the concept of OpenBazaar. Something to think about more once i get going
@celticflame you can always immediately convert it to American $, or spend it on Amazon.
@John O -hmm ok,i like that
If I had a business where I produced goods, I would use that as a good opportunity to get bitcoin
I should have said this before, but I realize now we should keep crypto related conversation out if here too
@ThisIsChris (autistic screeching intensifies) I assume you mean cryptofinance and that this would be the preferred place for cryptography and COMSEC discussion? because the latter (which actually may or may not be channel-worthy) is something that I can offer some decent insights about that don't relate to the former at all
@ThisIsChris what about blockchain related topics? crypto is based on it but blockchain is used for other things.
@Pavel Cristoviฤ you're right I just meant cryptocurrencies
@ArtairRose#9199 blockchain OK, even the technical aspect of building your own cryptocurrecy is OK, what I want to prevent is the price of today's altcoin deriding all topical conversation in a channel that isn't cryptofinance
>Intel says the stock sale was unrelated to the vulnerability, but came as part of a planned divestiture program. But Krzanich put that stock sale plan in place in October - several months after Intel was informed of the vulnerability.
Why do they lie about stuff thatโs so easy to disprove?
A redditorโs response:
Possibly because Krzanich will probably never get SEC actions taken against him.
He's been the CEO of Intel - the manufacturer of the most powerful tool for exfiltrating foreign countries' data that the NSA has ever had.
He oversaw and kept mum about the IME blackbox in every Intel CPU. There's absolutely no way that people at Intel didn't know about these vulnerabilities years ago. They've collected and analysed crash dumps from billions of installed systems running hundreds of OEM OSes for the past two decades.
The fact that they were not fixed means one thing: Intel's largest customer, the US Intelligence Community, ensured this "feature" that Meltdown exploits, continued to be kept in production.
The last Tech Sector CEO to refuse to comply with US Intel extrajudiciary activities, in PRISM, got the SEC so far up his colon that he couldn't cough without filling out a stock value impact form and got prosecuted for insider trading. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Nacchio
Krzanich played ball and gave the NSA every feature they wanted for as long as he worked there. He won't spend a moment in a courtroom.
Anyone @here know how to fug with webpack? @sigruna14 wants to know
Damn I forgot about this server.
LOL

Do any of you guys have experience with e-commerce, dropshipping, using Shopify storefronts to sell items? Itโs piqued my interest lately
@AP I know that @celticflame was looking into something very similar lately, if you search the history of this chat. Maybe she would be willing to share what she found with you?
@APmessaged you back. Unfortunately have had to put all business on hold,on back burner for now. Got thrown into alot of family personal stuff going on
@celticflame I think it's a topic that a lot of people are curious about, could you post something here about what you found?
Well my head feels like stuffed wool right now do to alot of stuff going on in family so bare with me...
For the past year or 2,i have been slowly building up a small hand beaded jewelry business, getting products made now some in small bulks here n there,ready to sell. Got some business cards made off of Vista Print. Have looked online into Etsy & Ebay that want to charge you a lovely fee per item that you try to sell off their sites,decided not to do. Have looked into and started setting up app called "Shopify"- they give ypu a 14day trial period to start setting things up,give you some sample pages for you to set up,display your items for sale,seem the best to go by. Have gotten emails back on directing traffic to your site once you get it made,etc and how to help with the business aspects of it. There are some free sample pages u can use or some u pay fee for,all depends on your set up and way you want things, etc. So far seems the most solid from what i have compared to other sites in the past. Just need to get it done,set up. Because at the time i would have got started a bunch of family emergencies have happened so haven't had chance to finish setting up. I have kept somewhat track of receits,costs it has taken to make all my products,but still have alot not done so best to keep a quickbooks aspects of business costs set aside for your product's. Have taken lots of patience and time to build products up,so not something you do relatively quick. Still learning barely by the curveballs thrown at me. Plus what it will cost to ship products, and what you also have to factor in. Am alot closer to trying to get it off the ground but like i said have now had family issues to deal with so having to set aside and come back to again in lil while when i get better time,rtc set aside. Please excuse any fuzziness,really drained right now from driving lots hours,stress & little sleep.
Just 1 example of my product i have made by hand,take alot of time and patience
Not to mention costs of supplies i get off ebay or local,etc. Like Silver,gemstone beads like the Amethyst,Opal,Pearls in bottom set,or some of the Swarovski crystals,silver & silvwr chain in top 1. Alot of factors...
Anyways,thats as far as I've gotten. Takes time,sorry can't be of any further help right now folks. Like i said,so close to launching but am having to put on hold to help with extended family matters
Oh also have a magnetic reader white Square thing to use too
If anyone is looking for contracting leads...I know a guy looking for someone with node.js/angular experience building gui. I believe some Mongo experience is helpful. DM me if interested. He's looking to fill the position within the week.
Also,put into perspective that I made a photobox out of cardboard & cheesecloth and couple decent lightning setups to photograph some stuff with,play around with,that also takes time to get every item done,which I'm still learning & playing with since some pics take and others don't. Also costs for Display,bags,etc too. Lots of aspects still fiddling and learning by trial or fail. And if you decide to sell at craft fairs or other faires to get your name out,besides it going online and getting started. And other business apps that can help you or books,what have you. Factor your costs it takes to make item,add in your time it takes to make it & times by 3. When i took old jc jewlery class in past, teacher told us to times the item by 3. That's material costs,time,etc
Best to keep solid stable accounts to go by instead of hit and miss,otherwise you have to go back and figure out all over again & thats alot of wasted time
Also if for instance you have to go by price of silver that you use if you hand sauder a silver ring,how those stock prices flutuate. Not to mention the costs you can't apply for say your own quality hand tools you might use to make a piece. Nor your work space. But thats off topic a lil. Anyway hope ya get the jists of tryung to start up your own company and many facets you have to factor into it
Sorry its not alot of tech jargon but what goes into prior to it. Like i said,learning as i go
Very nice -> https://standardnotes.org
Self-hosting that would be great too
It's just a protocol, not a full chat solution, sadly
Also, it was just said today that Whatsapp has a backdoor to convos even though they advertise the encryption. Can't trust anything that doesn't open source server code. Even then they could be running different code than what they show on github, but it's a better bet
Anybody have camera suggestions.
I was thinking about getting aOlympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III
What are you wanting to do with it?
@JesseJames we talked about a lot of options. Favoring the sony a6000 now
I'm not the one buying though lol
I'm assuming your going to use video mire
After seeing the conversation and the video results for that sony a6000 that's what I'd buy.
I am a Nikon fan. I've also had a cannon. I have heard good things about Sony the only negatives I've heard are the lenses have issue with dirt getting in them and I went through that with the g7x.
@Why Tea A good point was brought up that 4k video makes the a6300 more future proof
Hot Take: As much as I like decentralized/distributed tech projects, I don't think they'll ever catch on because the ability to delete things and have them deleted for everyone else is too valuable for people. The "once posted, always posted" thing is very unsettling to most normal people.
Dude. How long does google drive take to upload a 4min video!?
Still says "starting" for 20mins now.
@Deleted User sounds like it's trouble connecting. Is your space full? Do you have wifi? If everything seems find, might just want to refresh the page if you are using the web client, or restart the computer if you are using the automatic backup thing
Space = Google drive space
Thanks @ThisIsChris Everything is in working order. Never used googledrive before. Think I might be getting there now.
Anybody into amateur radio?
@Deleted User How do you make your memes?
What is up with the new tor for android? Can't switch by swiping and added some basic apps like google chrome etc.
@Deleted User hmm I didn't know you could switch by swiping before , minus that, I can't notice any differences, although admittedly I only used it when DailyStormer was down. Are there any other onion sites you recommend as worthwhile?
@ThisIsChris. I use it to run Twitter through and Orfox.
Cool I didn't know you could do that. @Deleted User does that get around bans?
@ThisIsChris. No unfortunately, as far as posts being too "altright" etc... just runs Twitter traffic through tor for privacy. Orfox (the web browser) is dependent on the site suspecting unusual traffic as far as viewing. Finding a link for Twitter on how to do...
Install and activate Orbot, open Twitter, tap the gear icon on the home screen.Check the โproxyโ box, enter โlocalhostโ and โ8118โ.Open your account settings, and disable the โSync Dataโ option to stop push notifications which cannot be proxied through Orbot/Tor.
Ok I got a question for all the computer gurus here. My wifi works on my tv my kids iPad and my phone. Won't work on my laptop. But I can use my hot spot on my phone to get the internet to work on the laptop... wth.
@JesseJames Does your laptop "see" your wifi and you just can't connect to it? Or does your laptop not even see the wifi?
It sees it connects and everything just won't load anything. But if I connect it to my hot spot on my phone it works
@JesseJames Hmm... 2 Qs:
1. Have you tried restarting your computer?
2. What model router do you have?
Yes I have restarted it it's always my go to lol. It's an arris. Server admin told me to check my drivers on the laptop and I'm going to try that later and see what it does. It's just odd to me the wifi is working on other devices and the laptop is working on the hotspot.
@JesseJames on the router (maybe on the bottom) there should be an "http://" followed by several numbers, possibly `http://10.0.0.1` or `http://192.168.0.1` or something similar. Write that into your laptop's web browser and see if that page loads. If that page DOES load then your computer is connecting to your router fine.
@JesseJames Also what OS do you use?
I think it's windows 10 pro. I will check that as soon as I get home. Thanks man.
@JesseJames You're welcome. Yeah so I would check that "http://" thing on your router. If you can connect, then the connection between your router and your computer is fine and it is something else. But if you can't connect to that address then as siggy said it is probably a device driver thing. Use that wifi you can get from the cell phone to run the driver update wizard in your system settings.
