Question, is there a way to view image in tty ncurses without display manager like Xorg?

I miss the 8ch /tech/ gang, a few characters grew on me. Without further ado, I will list some.

How could you forget the resident Multics nigger? I can 100% sign off on the other's though (except the programming socks faggot he can go die in a ditch)

>>339
lainchan is good for what it is but try saying "glow in the dark CIA niggers" 3x fast and you're gone

I miss playing "10 posts until nigger"
I also forgot Brian Faglioli spammer.

It turns out everyone went to julay
I found blackpill anon and there are faglioli posts too
silly me

There is no need to duplicate the rest of the arguments against it, I did not want to cause a systemd bashing thread. They are boring now.
I honestly do understand your concern.

Does the gentoo CoC influence the quality of the package management tooling? There was some sort of drama thing involving drobbins, too early to be involved with CAE or RH. Something about the project management moving too slow, I think. 
I guess I'll still pick gentoo since it's already been ported to more CPU arches.
>>56
>arch meh
Noted, thanks.

fix the documentation your complaining and and send in patches. then use devuan

Gentoo kernel configuration complex. Going to keep trying.

I'm not using email unless I get a proxy. Don't want my location and hardware tied to patches. 
I think the problem came down to runlevels and eudev when using LVM within LUKS on GPT. Bloody login manager kept breaking because eudev failed to start, I had to start it manually from recovery boot mode.

Gentoo is definitely the "fastest horse in the glue factory" if you want to get rid of certain shitware: USE flags, user patches and overlays make it possible. Kernel configuration is obnoxious but it's a thing you do once for your hardware and then you just reuse and modify the old one. Nothing stops you from reusing another distro's kernel config either, though that one will obviously be more bloated. Most Linux security issues are in weirdo kernel modules that only shituntu et al include.

I haven't seen CoC shit be a big issue aside from worthless busybodies in IRC who won't answer your question but *will* rant at you for saying "fuck" once, but the quality of package management has definitely declined in the last few years. The worst part was probably when they edited the qt4 USE flags away without even a build revision. Thanks for silently removing my wpa_supplicant GUI, faggots.

I gave up on gentoo after spending a couple of days trying to configure and compile a kernel, without using kernel modules where possible, without using an automatic initramfs using tools like Dracut. AMD firmware for GPUs is a real pain when you try to hardcode the path to the firmware. I couldn't boot into any login screen at all.
I'm guessing slackware would have been a better choice in retrospect, but now I'm on debian because I want to play games without having to spend half an hour checking dependencies that have been renamed.

>>242
Have you had a chance to play around with it much yet? I expect the UI responsiveness is pretty fast now right? Anyway, thanks for keeping us updated on the project anon.

>>245
For me, I am waiting foe the UI to stabilize, since many are reporting about the Qt beta goofing out.

>>250
So it has been stabalized, what are you going to do next?

Rewrite it in rust, then i will.

Here is another bad idea: Facial Landmark/"Mapping" based (((Coincidence Detector)))
Assuming we are using DLib's Facial Landmark algorithm, and assuming (((they))) haven't done complete plastic surgery, we should be able to find (((them))).
Something like http://dlib.net/imaging.html#get_frontal_face_detector and http://dlib.net/imaging.html#extract_highdim_face_lbp_descriptors already exists.
Some primer: https://archive.li/XNuuN 

thispersondoesnotexist would really come in handy if it could generate multiple pictures of the same "person" for use with various online identities

Ironically it is very easy for people to detect that the image is fishy as fuck

They would be passable for a profile pic or a thumbnail but looking closely they are obvious fakes.
I bet somebody has made a network of fake faceberg/twatter accounts with the details and pictures.

Someone complained that they were interested in the software, but they were confused how to get everything set up to build BUMP. I created a INSTALL file for Ubuntu that I hope helps. If anything's unclear or you experience some difficulty with these instructions, I'd appreciate knowing about it, thanks. I'll include this file when I make the next release.

>Install.txt
Here are detailed setup instructions for BUMP from a clean install of Ubuntu 19.10:

1. Execute this command from a terminal:
  sudo apt-get install meson ninja-build libcurl4-openssl-dev libfltk1.3-dev libjsoncpp-dev

-this will get you set up with required developer libraries

AUUUUGGGHH.
Well, that didn't wrap to my window like I was hoping, sorry guys. :^)

Made a tiny css change so plaintext blocks will wrap. I have more free time now so work resumes on the todo list. Maybe post editing will finally come so you can edit OP with updates :^) Depends cos I might work on mod pages/tools first.

>>285
Cool, thanks Tom. I was a dumbass not to realize that would happen, and it helped me to take care that even my general text files follow 80chars now, if a little more loosely. I hope things went well for you mate.

>>282
Nice thing you provided instruction, Waifs.

>>285
Good job Tom

Those are fair points in general, but the C++ community has interests in a vast array of areas--obviously including the Internet--and there are roughly 5 million men earning a living daily programming in the language professionally. I wouldn't exactly call that a small community tbh.

No doubt its much easier for a PHB to decide the cost of dev time is more important that process run times from his narrow view. Try telling that to the likes of Jewgle or Amazon however. Much of their datacenter code is strictly C++ today. Turns out the limited supply of, and cost of the electricity itself is the chief limiting factor in their business models. They decide on languages based on how much wattage per instruction is needed at scale, and so naturally not only choose C++, but are heavily involved in driving it into new directions via their participation in the ISO C++ Standards Committee.

Consider that Golang is just Typescript for Python IDK.

>>261
So a two pronged C++ API backend and JS frontend?

>>264
The one thing to gaining imageboard traffic:features are king...
therefore if C++ slows your ability to implement all the features in Lainchan you should reconsider your choice of programming language.

OK I went and had a once-over but I don't see a lot different about the place tbh. Am I missing something anon? Just curious what makes it different than other IBs.

>>267
Check their code base, they seem to have a lot of secret sauce in them that makes them unique from the rest.

Alright will do, thanks.

AES as scrambling function my boi, scrambling and compression functions have different uses within the MD construction.

>Because SHA3 is complete and utter garbage.
why though

>>58
speed, speed, speed!

>>198
I mean if its faster and still has all the good properties against collisions and stuff, then it becomes more useful as a checksum rather than password hashing. Since there is already bcrypt and pbkdf2, SHA is becoming less used for passwords.
Not bad overall IMO.

>>199
KangarooTwelve > SHA3

You can shorten a few lines and improve a few things. For example you dont need that anonymous function in the socket events. Pass the callback directly, so instead of:
this.socket.on("error", (err)=>this.errorHandler(err));
this.socket.on("data", (data)=>this.dataHandler(data));
language: csharp, relevance: 8you could have
this.socket.on("error", this.errorHandler);
this.socket.

Pardon a newfag, but what language is this? JavaScript, or C#?

>>181
Javascript. The language detection just has problems with short snippets.
