The future of /tech/ Anonymous ## Mod 2015-10-25 21:52:31 No.12952[Reply]

Recently, there has been a lot of controversy and confusion over the de-listing of /tech/. As one of the new /tech/ mods, I would like to make a statement and clear some of this up.

/tech/ was de-listed because of the general soykaf brewing, lack of intelligent conversation, and general glitterboyism.

Now that /tech/ is back on the header, we need to make some changes around here. All you have got to do is follow the rules. The ones that you need to take special care to are those that follow.

1. You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soy

2. Always argue in good faith and avoid using personal attacks.

3. Don't respond with aggression to perceived flames or trolls (or at all.)

Any posts that break these rules will be removed, and repeat offenders will be drezzed.

PI Zero, 9$ C.H.I.P and other arm boards Anonymous 2015-11-30 13:01:52 No.14467 [Reply]

So, the Raspberry guys stripped their old board, applied some software tweaks to run at 1GHz and put a 5$ price tag on their device.

Meanwhile, the 9$ CHIP is on its way with a tablet CPU clocked at 1GHz with wifi and bluetooth on board, and (planned) mainline linux kernel and opensource everything.

What are your opinions on these devices?

Honestly, I'm less offended about the broadcom stuff, then the fact that you need to purchase licenses to get the SoC to do the hardware decoding that it was already designed to do.

It's pure crippleware, and this soykaf needs to stop!

Lets Get Comfy: Linux Edition Anonymous 2015-07-13 22:42:18 No.8397 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Let's help eachother make our Linux lives more comfy. Whether it be useful scripts, extensions\add ons, programs, or commands.

I'll start with some Gnome extensions.

Force Quit adds an "X" on your top bar that you can click and then click on an application to force quit it. A quick xkill button https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/770/force-quit/

Imgur Screenshot Uploader lets you take a screenshot of your whole screen, A window, or an area you select and then auto upload it to imgur and provide you a link so you can quickly share screenshots
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/683/imgur-screenshot-uploader/

Show Desktop from Overview lets you click on an empty space when you open the overview "by pressing the window\super key" to hide all open windows and show you the desktop.
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/496/show-desktop-from-overview/

Shellshape is one of my favorites. It automatically tiles all your open windows and resizes your windows once you open and close one.

I've been learning Bash lately, what's some cool stuff to do with it?
What do you often write scripts for?

Anonymous 2015-12-03 20:45:37 No.14565

>>14563
What I like the most about bash is how you can just put cli commands in the scripts and execute them or use their output.
The script I write more often is

for i in *; do command "$i"; done

for extracting all files in a folder or things like that. You can also pipe stuff around to have progressbars and such fancy things.
I don't like how you end up using complicated regex sometimes if you want to select just a portion of text.

There's something I want to do but don't know if it's possible or easy.
I want to disallow the loading of certain elements per website, for example don't show banners on lainchan, don't show the languages list on wikipedia, etc.
and maybe change things like background colors and such.
It would make browsing a lot more comfy and (I think) save a bit of bandwith.
Is it possible to download a site's CSS/HTML, modify it and tell the browser to load the site's content using that custom configuration?
There surely is a Firefox addon for this but I'm using dwb on arch.

I'm looking to build some kind of NOC/command center style status display for all the rigs and servers that I have.

I've decided what I think would look the most /cyb/ would be a projector that just spews all the status info onto my bedroom wall.

>What I need your help with is some _cheap_ projector recommendations.

All I'm going to be displaying is gnu screen running htop and a few other cli infotainment programs.

Any recommendations?

Anonymous 2015-12-04 02:59:53 No.14574

Not going to look it up, but look at those LED pocket projectors. They're tiny and only use like 10W compared to regular projectors that use 200-300W.

Lazy, but I'd just made a bash script script that pulls info from a bunch of different tools like lm_sensors, hddtemp, smartcontrol, iotop, iftop, top/htop, watching log, if you use systemd or something then watching journalctl, etc. and nicely organizes it, SSH into that machine and run something like "watch -n 5 bash serverstats.sh". You can use a single board computer like a raspberry pi or a beaglebone black to handle all that.

Defiantly not an optimal solution, but it'd work.

interesting suggestion. do you know the resolutions for those?

I'm planning on using a raspberry pi to drive all this, so maybe those matchbox projectors will be ideal, I just need hdmi input.

It's gonna be displaying tor's arm (i run two relays), htops for both machines, probably iftop, maybe an irc room or my recent tweets or xmpp chats? idk

College really helps you get your foot in the door, but ability is what will get you a career.

Become the person who knows exactly what they are doing; not the dude with resume filler who looks lost everyday.

The best made names for themselves through their ability, not their certifications.

I'm going for my OSCP. I'm doing it because I truly want to learn the stuff. I'd gladly trade away their certificate for the chance to say I learned more than any other student.

Have you been enjoying the course so far? Can you give some insight as to what the course material is? OSCP is something I have been looking into for awhile also. Would you recommend having a Net+ or any other experience prior to starting OSCP?

OSCP is extremely hands-on oriented. It would be immensely wise of you to have a solid foundation of TCP/IP protocols, OSI Model, as well as programming(Python, C, Assembly), as there are lots of areas where buffer overflows are covered and other various programming-skill is needed. It's challenging but extremely fun.
