Awww... That's sad.
N00b-lUser here, I am little better than a script kiddie, but there was a time that I kept my old Dell Attitude alive for another 4 months by installing Ubantu.
looking to find a good all-purpose image like possibly Cinnamon or a Mint fork.
I don't do big gayming anymore, so most of my needs are not high draw but for video and image editing anyway.
Since I already use GIMP, and other Open source softs on a highly modified WIN7PRO OS, I figured now that Everything Minilimp® is thoroughly jeeted, I should ought to have a backup plan.

I'm also trying to turn a few gen1 Kindle fires into exclusively e-readers for my PDF libraries, with no connections to the web whatsoever.

One of the reasons I really like chans is because I prefer the mask-off environment that anonymity provides. Conversely, I like how people's ego getting taken down to zero due to anonymity. I've gotten so used to living without an account, that I feel repulsed whenever I have to make an account for something.
The only sites/apps I know of where anonymity exists are chans. Discord/irc/social media/forums/messagers/etc. are all nogos for me because of the lack of anonymity. Am I missing anything, or is this it?

Although it's not the same thing, the part about protocols does somewhat remind me of Microsoft and the Halloween documents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents
>Document I suggests that one reason that open source projects had been able to enter the server market is the market's use of standardized protocols. The document then suggests that this can be stopped by "extending these protocols and developing new protocols" and "de-commoditiz[ing] protocols & applications".

It seems that 2000's Aero Glass is finally making a comeback, and the fact that Apple's the one doing it seems to indicate this could be a new trend since companies tend to copy whatever Apple does.

How does /tech/ feel about tablets in general? I find that they failed to become the laptop replacements many thought they'd become back then, mainly due to their OS, which is funny looking back as Windows 8 ruined a lot of Microsoft's reputation because they were certain that iPads would be the end of them... however they're still good at being what Steve Jobs introduced them as, something between the computer and smartphone, that's worse than both in general, but better than all other devices in a few specific things, justifying their purpose to be.

I personally love mine as its replaced my laptop for most things, due to my usecase allowing for it, but it's also the best device I have for a lot of things, like digital art, reading comic books and manga, books and document reading in general, and media consumption, it's great.

The good part about Android is anything will let you root it with enough fussing and it's always designed to allow that. The bad part about Android is the ease with which rooting can be done varies ENORMOUSLY, so if you're the one picking it's a very good idea to shop ahead and pick the most cooperative device.

Same for other stuff like long term OS updates, and 3rd-party distro/driver support.

I think it's worth having a thread about ARM linux as it's on the verge of becoming viable in phones and mobile devices. Discussion around whether or not this hardware is or will ever be worth actually buying is important. I understand that a lot of the PINE64 hardware is explicitly not consumer ready, but I've seen some videos of the recently officially launched Librem5 that shipped the product with a fucked screen protector that wasn't applied properly, and that's a fucking $800+ device. I'll try to get around to making a webm of it.

They exist and you can even buy them, they are just not ready for daily use, which is a travesty. But then commercial UNIX pretty much died out because every vendor had its own line of expensive RISC work stations running their own flavour of UNIX, meanwhile anyone could take a random x86 computer and start tinkering with Linux. The problem is that there is no smartphone equivalent of x86 computers, instead you have to either fight tooth-and-nail to somehow put your own OS on a locked down phone, or try make your own. The former is not that much fun when you can permanently brick your phone if something goes wrong, and the latter seems to be too expensive for an end product that is objectively inferior to a low end Android phone.

Since the IPs of all I2P routers are publicly available, doesn't this mean that it could be easy to find a particular eepsite's real IP address by correlating its downtime with a particular IP's downtime?

Yes that's called Live Behavior Alignment or on/off attack. It's not as simple as it sounds because you need to go offline several times for any kind of pattern to make it through the noise of all other nodes joining and leaving. The main mitigation is called multihoming where you serve the same hidden service from multiple difference servers so it's not obvious to an attacker when one of the servers goes offline.
https://arxiv.org/html/2512.15510

You can read more about known i2p attacks and mitigations in the official docs

>The main mitigation is called multihoming where you serve the same hidden service from multiple difference servers so it's not obvious to an attacker when one of the servers goes offline.
I was mainly concerned with the idea of that type of correlation because it's bad for a self-hosted setup since it reveals your personal IP. If I could get some VPS or other external server for "multihoming", at that point I could as well only host it on that server and not care about correlation attacks since getting its IP found out wouldn't be as bad for my personal privacy.
Anyway, only with a single server, could you confuse an attacker and mostly mitigate these attacks by waiting a little before putting up a service when your I2P router goes online after being offline, and also by randomly shutting down your service for short periods of time from time to time while keeping your I2P router online?

Mixing omnidirectional with long-range doesn't work. Even the most high-tech cellular and 802.11 hardware using every TDMA/FDMA trick in the book over every available channel can only support 20-200 devices simultaneously transmitting in the same basestation's sector. That's why large wireless networks reuse bands as much as possible with various types of directional beamforming, downfiring, low-penetration frequencies, and intentional attenuation.

Whether you use radio, optical, or wired, your network can only be some mix of short-range broadcasts and long-range point-to-point links.

It seems to me that currently reticulum is only useful for sending messages from one person to an other, so it should have these options too:
>newsgroup/mailing list equivalents
You send an unencrypted message to a hash, everyone who added the hash can read it and also reply. You can also send a request to receive stored messages from the network that are not older than an arbitrary date. So if you want to read last weeks messages your request will bounce around and others will try to forward them to you. Of course, you should be able to set up your own devices to just ignore such requests if you are only interested in peer-to-peer messages or you only want encrypted traffic. 
>usenet/e-mail gateways
With the previous point reticulum could be the cool kids usenet anyway, so setting up some gateways for public messages is the next logical step. 
>"blogs"
Pretty much the same as the public groups of the first point, but without the ability to reply. You make a hash to share your gay thoughts with whoever wants to read them, they add that hash and every time you write a message they all receive it.
>gateways for "blogs"
