Offline sharing devices Anonymous 2015-11-04 16:36:46 No.18726 [Reply]

So I put together a modified Pirate Box and loaded it with hundreds of ebooks in my language (pictures of the GUI on the next post). It's running 24/7.

What kind of /cyb/ stuff can I add to make it more useful?

Also, offline sharing devices as /cyb/ tools thread.

Cool interface OP. How much traffic have you seen on the piratebox?

>>18730
This gives me an idea. It would be simple to write a python script to monitor a directory for file changes, then upload new files to virustotal for analysis. Gonna put this together tonight for fun. For a piratebox, it would be a matter of taking output from the python script and writing it to the page for each upload so users can click a link to the appropriate report.

Not applicable in OP's case since he's using a cell phone, but good for linux-based pirateboxes.

I've tried to set up PirateBox on my Nexus 7 2012 running Paranoid Android 4.4.4 but upon trying to connect to it my phone and laptop just continually try to connect yet are unsuccessful.

What are your thoughts on pirating? Anonymous 2015-11-05 02:17:04 No.18747 [Reply]

Should all data really be free?

Do you pirate?

>inb4 nice try, etc, etc...

This covers everything. Whatever, rom music, software, video, and textbooks.

Do you personally think it is morally okay to do this, if you do, how can you justify this?

In your opinion, do you think laws should be more relaxed about pirating/file-sharing? If so, how do you think they should be changed, and how do you think it would effect society?

I think people have a right to make money off the soykaf they create,but only for so long. This actually benefits everyone as far as I can see, creators included. It forces them to not settle with resting on their laurels after they make one big hit, like how software developers are expected to make new releases, and under a lot of models you don't pay for every point release (could you imagine?)
the reason we're at the point where we even need to ask this is because we've forgotten copyright was intended to strike a balance between intellectual property and the public domain, and if you value access to knowledge and culture, you should probably lean towards protecting the public domain over entities like disney who are already more than capable of protecting themselves.

tl;dr I recognize that people have to be compensated fr their work, but after some period of time they have to give up the exclusive right to monetize the thing.

My waifu will pay for games if they're DRM free and respects the user, if not she pirates cracked DRM free games. She only uses libre software (which is usually free) but donates if it's good.

She thinks you should pay for it if it respects the users freedom and is reasonably priced. If not then weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen mateys!

There are some, but they're far and few between. Usually they get infiltrated by the FBI or break up due to internal drama. Governments tend to not like when a bunch on Anarchists or Communists are together because they fear they might do something to threaten the establishment or give legitimacy to Anarchism or Communism and make the populace think about it rather than just assuming it's the boogeyman and bad think. Class consciousness is dangerous.

Look up the Green Mountain Anarchists Collective.

As for "anarchism can't work", there can be and are/were effective stateless societies, it's just the big ones don't last very long. States have a tendency to claim any land / population they can.

also the whole world is an anarchy in the sense that there is no world government

I'm all for new and original thoughts, but this is just sad.
I really appreciate the recording, but....

>So you think working out and going to a university gives you purpose, huh?
You buy into such trivial activities and traditions to help buy into the illusion that your life and society are "real" and have "meaning" and "purpose".

Do you believe in an objective goal in life?
The only objective goal in life I think anyone could ever argue for would be based on evolutionary theory, and even then studying and working out is objectively superiour in productivity as compared to making a voice recording.
Unless you believe in this absolute goal in life, any goal in life is theoretically (equally) valid, which then means that you wouldn't have any basis to argue that studying and working out is somehow inferior in productivity.

Modern Shareblog Anonymous 2015-11-05 02:48:12 No.18753 [Reply]

I'm planning on starting a shareblog for early underground/alternative videogames.

Most sites focusing on older games look at them for their retro aesthetic or mainstream influence, I want to introduce more interesting & radical games, like LSD: Dream Emulator, Lack of Love, Cosmology of Kyoto, etc.

And I want to provide the links to the roms conveniently right there like the old music blogspots used to. They aren't all abandonware, some might even be contemporary indie releases.

So I have 3 questions for lainchan:
>how worried should I be about liability/takedown?
>what steps should I take to protect myself?
>what's the ideal blog API to use?
>what's the ideal filehost to use?

I've looked at using blogspot, wordpress, tumblr and wikia but I don't think any are the right way to go - the interface is too clunky and they seem very sensitive to takedowns. I don't mind paying for a server host & domain but I don't want to actually pay for the data for user downloads. I'm thinking of mega for the filehost as its fast, easy to organize and backup. But is it still secure?

A note on what I'm looking for in the interface:
I'd like the site to exist more like a database than can be accessed for recommendations rather than a blog that people follow for updates - like most blogs are presented in order of newest to oldest, and the posts categorized by month and year. I'd rather have it categorized by system, developer, generation, genre, etc. similar to a recommendations wiki, discogs or erowid. Does anyone know existing examples of what I mean? Any suggestions on an API?

Not him, but I think he wants to have a somewhat of a more "refined collection" of not just any "old game" but games that may be important in whatever way. Bringing light to some games we should be aware of for whatever reason. But I'm sure he'll answer.

Yeh of course, I'm just saying. The games already exist for that. No need to go out and hack the ROM yourself right. I like the idea of spotlighting games in an artful way. Not so much just a place where an old game ROM is hosted once in a while.

Most of the systems on Archive.org uses their web emulator. If Archive's collection goes down (or gets asked to take them down - though they do currently have a special allowance to make outmoded software accessible) the roms are lost too. More resilient is allowing users to download the roms and run them with their own client-side emulators. They're definitely a great site but that one pf centralization is a flaw in their archiving, I think it's due to dodging copyright.

And yes >>18896 a refined collection is the idea. For example, Archive.org hosts 'complete' archives for different MAME versions (though they're not actually complete), which, in isolation, isn't much use to an individual who doesn't know what they're looking for or have the time to test out the entire collection.
My site would point you towards MAME roms of more special interest. Danmaku shooters, for example.

Sorry it's been almost a month since I got back to the thread. I've been busy with work but I'll try and have the site setup and started by the end of January. I've been filling out the games I intend to list and slowly collecting and uploading them in the meantime.

I'm think I'll just code the site myself in basic html.
It'll be easier to backup to onion if TPP passes, too.

Consider using git and static HTML. It makes it very easy to mirror or archive your site and respects your users. I wouldn't mind mirroring it if it's low bandwidth. Whatever download site(s) you use should work without javascript, cookies, DOM storage, accounts, plugins, or add-ons so no MEGA. Providing checksums for downloads is important. I'd go with SHA-256. If it doesn't use strong HTTPS it's trash. It's also trash if you have cross-site requests. No need to load your favicon from a CDN or have embedded YouTube videos.

AI Anonymous 2015-10-30 00:18:33 No.18458 [Reply]

A brain makes more operations than a current machine can compute.

A brain also does a lot of stuff other than developing abstract thoughts (controlling vital functions, handling sensorial data, etc).

Maybe a simplified version of a brain capable of having thoughts could actually be simulated in a current computer.

Maybe if the meaning of "consciousness" is formalized, an even simpler implementation can be made, which would be equivalent to a brain but extremely more efficient.

Maybe current machines can't simulate a brain in real time, but they actually can simulate it in slow motion (1 second of thought per week of computation).

Maybe you can map the evolution of another non-linear system into a thought (the motion of water in a very specific container, the evolution of the large scale structure of the universe, the phase of photons coming from a wall).

AI is the god we are looking for. It is the final answer.

Share your ideas. Maybe try something. Who says we can't get somewhere. Most of the potential in ourselves and in the things around us goes completely unexplored.

This reminds me of another article that I can't find the link to at the moment. The gist was that neurons in the brain perform more complicated operations on their input signals than originally thought, and the takeaway was that the analogy of neurons to single gates in a chip is probably too simplistic.

Sorry but that guys definition is complete bullsoykaf. Consciousness is by its nature, not quantifiable. He's doing the usual thing people do where they take one of the soft problems of consciousness (in this case being able to react to external input) and equate this to the hard problem of consciousness (i.e. why do we actually experience things?). There is no evidence for a link between responses to stimuli and consciousness and his quantification of consciousness is in fact nothing more than a quantification of capability to respond to stimuli. Moreover, there is no experiment I could construct to disprove his theory that responses to stimuli and consciousness are linked meaning it's scientifically worthless.

This is a well explored problem. It's been well known for a long time that taking some other properties of conscious beings and equating it to consciousness is scientifically incredibly unsound. Moreover it's been known that there are no scientifically sound ways to study consciousness. One cannot use empiricism to study unmeasurable phenomena. I think there's just something about the problem and wanting to understand our own existence that draws people to it anyway.

Our scientific knowledge is evolving at a fast rate, and even our way of reasoning is changing over time. For instance, now science isn't restricted to developing analytical models and analyzing experimental data, in several areas there are people working exclusively on generating and analyzing simulated data, something unimaginable 100 years ago.

>There is no evidence for a link between responses to stimuli and consciousness

I agree with this. Also, lucid dreams come to mind as a counterexample.

>>20412
In the sense that humans are not special compared to a sophisticated machine designed to replicate what a human brain does? Yes, I think so.

Can you guys list and detail some fictional /cyb/erpunk products and business? So for example the Fallout universe has things like Nuka Cola, Suger Bombs, Mr Gutsy brand robots, and RobCo Industries. Well, I'm looking for products like that from cyberpunk universes.

The reason I want them is because I want to make GTA Radio-esque ads for them on Lainchan radio to add a bit of flavour and humour.

The more detail you can give on these, or the more info you can link to at least, the better job I can do making an faux-ad for it.

So for example I could make an advert for Cyberia, the night/dance club featured in Serial Experiments Lain.
