   well now that there's precedent for banning an app from app stores, we definitely won't see
   1. more of that
   2. more secret government collusion based on the threat of that
   3. more of governments coming down against 'side-loading' trends which would defang that threat
   4. more moves against 'side-loading' on desktop OSes as well
   5. more moves to close the "browser loop-hole" to such bans. Can you believe that, even though Telegram blocks RT, that I can still go to rt.com???
   6. more attacks on VPNs and 'dark nets'
   7. more pushes for digital IDs

     I voted for Trump, not because he is pro-freedom, but because the pro-tyranny side of the #Trump camp is more incompetent than the #DNC.

     @apropos@fsebugoutzone.org The blocking sideloading thing will probably be pushed through using an excuse for "Muh security" Since security schizos have a major hard-on for chain of trusts. I hate how encryption is used as a double edged sword to trample on our rights as end users.

     even if the normies are completely lost in the sauce, I do believe that really every skilled IT professional will still have access to the free and uncensored side of the internet, namely the E2EE apps and the fediverse.
     
     Even if you have to run it on a $60 raspberry pi.

     @KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz @apropos@fsebugoutzone.org If any of this shit comes to pass where hardware vendors along with OS developers work hand in hand locking down running "Unauthorized OSes" for consumers, I'm hoarding every older computer I can get my hands on. Linux is indispensable for me as a sysadmin for accomplishing server related tasks.
     
     Having so many tools at my disposal that I can easily install from package repos, as well as a good chunk that are included in the base install so that I don't have to play, "Hunt for the executable on this sketchy looking site." makes shit so much easier for me.

     I've been querying AI about how to design a motherboard from scratch. Also I looked online and you can get a custom PCB manufactured with traces, sockets, and slots soldered on, for like 60 cents a pop.

     @Burger@dill.burggit.moe @apropos@fsebugoutzone.org
     
     If my understanding of AI's explanation is correct - and there's two possible points of failure here - the CPU sockets (some of them) are basically wired directly to the memory controller, and the memory controller is wired directly to the memory slots, plus whatever other I/O the memory controller supports.
     
     The CPU is also wired directly to a chip that is the "northbridge" ( like an Ethernet switch for high-speed internal peripheral connections, using a standard like PCI) and another one that is the "southbridge" (for external peripherals like USB).
     
     USB sockets can be placed on the same PCB tracelead or conductive medium; the client devices wait patiently for the USB controller (sourthbridge) to give them their assigned turn.
     
     Same is true for northbridge and PCI.
     
     The data connections from CPU to memory controller, CPU to northbridge, and CPU to southbridge are unmediated point-to-point connections, with nothing but low-impedance conductive metal between them.

     @KuteboiCoder @Burger @apropos thats optmistic; the internet is made up of nodes where your message needs to travel to thru several to reach the other side of the world; if they start cutting off chunks like russia, then the eu; then everything is more controlable and even if you just wanted to pirate anime from russia even if theres some slow methods of crossing the firewalls; you probalye wont be able to.

     we live in an age of work-from-home, and globalized supply chains, and technology startups where every midwit tech bro hopes to become a billionaire off of crowd-sourced product placements and thirst traps.
     
     It's not easy to stop somebody from transmitting wrongthink when wrongthink can be transmitted across any possible protocol, whether very-old or very-new. And besides, the efforts to enforce censorship for partisan and factional purposes naturally runs into factional resistance within the system itself, ever before it trickles down far enough to effect the freedom patriots.

     it's far easier to fuck with payment card accounts, which is what governments are actually after in the first place.
     
     Unpaid and volunteer organizations and federated platforms are much more politically resistant.

     If you're curious about this - and I mean really damn curious - then basically go online and find a memory controller chip for $8 or so.
     
     Put it on a breadboard, give it power and a clock signal, and try to write and read individual bytes to and from specific memory addresses, using a laptop and whatever serial adapter is required.

     fuck fuck fuck I really don't want to do that if I have to connect jumper wires by hand for every single contact on the memory slot.
     
     I'd rather spend the $2 for a lab in Shenzhen to solder the memory slot to the jumper socket where the memory controller belongs.
     
     It'd be worth $12. Worth $200 if you're actually determined to succeed at this.

     @KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz @Burger@dill.burggit.moe @apropos@fsebugoutzone.org Note the northbridge and southbridge distinction no longer applies because the northbridge was generally moved to the CPU itself and x86 CPU manufacturers stopped providing enough documentation to allow third-party chipsets to be made (with the exception of AMD's weird decision to daisy-chain chipsets, southbridges are now combined into a single package.) I think the last third party x86 chipset was nvidia's circa 2009?
     
     I'm actually surprised RAM sockets still work at the current speeds in spite of all the hacks being used to make them work.. You don't need just low-impedance traces, but controlled impedance traces, and a socket is going to invariably create a mess on that.
     
     Laptop memory module speeds are already faltering because of signal integrity issues from having the socket, and i'm still not convinced CAMM can provide the memory density you usually find on a rack-mounted server.

     I was actually asking AI about low-power and antiquated 32-bit chips. I was thinking about using the cheapest-possible CPUs, both for manufacturing costs (disposable drone) and power consumption (not needing to power a cooling fan, reducing the battery capacity of the drone flight)
     
     and using multiple CPU chips, parallelization and task-passing for memory-intensive tasks, for things like mesh networking

     Processing is a non-issue. I want to be able to load 64 GB (or at least 16 GB) of volatile memory on a headless server circuit, lightweight, for minidrone.
     
     Ideally the final iteration should be capable of planned autonomous flight, computer vision (classification & identification), and mesh networking for off-grid communication.

     If you can sell infinity cheap drones to rural land owners and police patrols, that's a cash-only business, it doesn't give you access to capital markets or any line of credit.
     
     Put your cash into rental real estate, and you're golden. And you can do it in any country.

     @KuteboiCoder@subs4social.xyz @Burger@dill.burggit.moe @apropos@fsebugoutzone.org Designing a DIY slaughterbot swarm?
     
     Some high-end smartphones come with 24GB of RAM and a few TOPS of neural nerwork inference capability. a stripped (but non-rooted) android install can easily get you 20-22 out of those to work with. You could probably strip the case, display and battery to cut down on most of the mass, and use the USB port in host mode to control the motors/sensors/external communication (assuming you can't use the built-in ones over jamming concerns or something).

     Sure thot about that!
     
     I actually think I would sell more units for unarmed reconnaissance missions. I'd be lucky to sell even one deathbot even if I built one. Not just because of the regulatory and who-the-hell-are-you aspect, but also as a matter of weight-to-power efficiency and unit price.
     
     Small unit slaughterbots are going to be not all that profitable, in the future, given that poorfolk nigger draftcattle are so fucking cheap and expendable. 😩
