when I was a psychopathic 12 year old I spammed gore images on a porn forum. I used to frequent jihadi forums and other extremist websites to get my kicks. I was one evil little shit.

>>354 i tried to connect trough mobile data, workplace/college internet, the guy ip banned my entire country i think

>>354 >Can you guys browse textboard.org? It's not working for me as well

>>354 confirming also it seems to not be up.

does anyone know what happened to textboard.lol? I know the site was infested with underage memefrens by the latter half of its life but I was hoping to get back on to lurk older threads when I found out it didn't exist anymore also the first (and so far only) time I've been perma ip banned from anything was when I got auth on a cube 2 sauerbraten server and kicked a random guy on the server because I wanted the place to myself. after the server owner banned me for that I uninstalled and then reinstalled the game to see if that would unban me and it did absolutely nothing

phones are addicting, i prefer comfy computers (but I have no choice other than using the smartōphone >>300 it's not hard!! just expose yourself to new things in computer... try programming, installing other OSes, messing with the bios... go on, explore the world!!

C and Unix are the bread and butter of computing. Install a Linux or Unix operating system in Virtualbox, preferably a Debian disto (Linux Mint is a good choice) or FreeBSD (GhostBSD is good for absolute beginners). Don't jump into something like Gentoo, OpenBSD or Arch too soon. Then go through this book: https://www.linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php Just make sure you have a copy of your OS' manual as a handy reference. Once you've done that, pick the Scheme dialect of Lisp or C. Scheme is easier to learn and will teach you a lot about computing whereas C is hard but used in literally everything and you will have to learn it at some point. Which you do first is up to you. Lisp is a great choice for any beginner. For Scheme, go with Simply Scheme and then move on to SICP if you want to https://archive.org/details/SimplyScheme SICP https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/books_pres_0/6515/sicp.zip/index.html For C, just use the King book https://archive.org/details/c-programming-a-modern-approach-2nd-ed-c-89-c-99-king-by

>>316 i am a proud practitioner of COMPUTER

>I broke the pc by moving the cable inside the computer you sure that it's broken? anyway yeah just like poster number 36 said buy a USB adapter for hard drives and plug it to any working machine if you use windows it will appear as a disk F or something i don't know how alphabet works in microsoft but it should be easy and straightforward >>36

here are the ports needed but I don't know what it refers too which cables? and their names

>>154 On the right is SATA. On the left is Molex.

>>155 and what the other end of the cables must be? usb?

>>161 yup

Idk, I can barely find any good places to discuss anything anymore

>>240 >Where do you discuss programming online? textboard.org lainchan.org are pretty ok

>>240 Mostly lainchan and sleepychan /t/ for me. I think the alternative is joining some dicksword server, reddit, lobste.rs, or hackernews, but I'd rather swallow a whole load of salt water than do that.

>>240 LainChan is too humourless.

>>285 and slow

can you tell me what our OS need that other OS lack off. I heard games on linux run like shit, so we need something good like windows because it works well there

>>227 Its not the OS fault that games dont work, because developers need to spend time porting things to make sure it does Making an operating system is more of an artistic endeavour than anything else

we would call it 'the wire' like in experimental lain

Sorry anons, but the fact that you so severily underestimate what it takes to write an OS pretty much guarantees that you'll never make one. But I mean, go ahead, have fun >>156 >emacs but modern The fuck is that supposed to mean? What does "modern" mean to you, and what are the charactertics of emacs you want to have? An editor that looks "modern" is achievable through emacs configuration (see the NANO project on r/emacs), an editor that is recent, trendy and extensible in a programming language that is "modern" is vs code (it's based on packages like emacs), an editor that is keyboard controlled and "modern" in a way could be neovim. >fundamentally integrated into the OS This is a completely unrelated request to the previous one, but just as vague. EXWM allows you to use Emacs as a window manager, so instead of your TWM you run emacs directly and it manages all your windows. The Acme text editor is very well integrated with the underlying plan 9 operating system; for example, iirc you can type the name of a system command directly in the toolbar, the press it with the middle mouse button and it gets executed on the currently selected text.

I mean, It'd be cool but >>276 is also right. maybe we could make a simple command line OS to start like Osaka OS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYImR-wrTV0 of course that in of itself is a long ordeal. but it'd probably be more achievable at the current state unelss we just want to take a pre-exissting operating system and mod it that could also be done?

Currently working on a mobile phone gacha game because money. (not some extreme capitalist, just need monetary support for my future projects)

>>2 Fire emblem style strategy game in zig, using SDL and opengles 2 I only started last week dont ask for screenshots

>>5 I wish I had seen this sooner I had no idea what to do so this helps a lot, thanks!

Been inspired by Cyberpunk 2077. Maybe some type of metroidvania + cyberpunk style

starting my first project probably gonna be some kind of minimal text editor, with simple save and search feature in python; nothing too interesting but I want to make something to learn to code with. >>274 much more creative idea than me, what software are you going to use?

>>24 I have a similar one that's also a Toshiba, not a Satellite though. It's a bit bigger but it's from around the same time.

The first computer I had to myself was an upper-low-end custom-built my stepdad made for me. I don't know much about it except how it ran Windows 7 (or maybe 8.x at some point) and we upgraded it to Windows 10 in 2016.

>>24 I had a similar laptop from the same age which also came with vista I had it stored in a box. but my mom decided to throw it away because when she is bored she needs to come up with something to clean

The family PC was a beige computer running Windows XP. Parents say it was a Compaq Presario (likely picrel). Then around 2005 maybe we upgraded to what looked like a Dell Dimension 3000. We had it for years. Sometime down the road the family installed Windows Vista, I can't remember if it was on the same Dell or if we had another new computer at that point but we switched to Windows 7 around 2010. I probably remember the Dell so vividly because we had it for so long. I only remember that Compaq Presario as "the beige computer" since it was so long ago in my formative years.

>>226 I love the shape of these kinds of PC's...

>>38 It's literally all algebra so if you're a low IQ loser who wasn't able to finish year 12 levels maths you're not going to be able to do it. You'll end up as some midwit who can only copy other people's shit in Python or C#

>>80

>>38 understanding basic geometry in 2D and in 3D, (for example, equations of lines, linear interpolations between points) is very helpful if you are dealing with graphics or even just bare gui layouts For everything else, the way math works is that once someone has figured something out you can just copy the solution. It's highly unlikely that you ever get to work on something inovative so its quite useless. It's still a good idea to understand these things tough If I say that your algorithm takes quadratic time, you should immediately know what that means and why otherwise you will look like a dunce

The amount of math you need will vary depending on what "genre" of programming you're working in. Web development might not need more than basic arithmetic, but you should explore languages that specialize in scientific computation to see another world of computing. https://julialang.org/community/organizations/

Not a lot and for those areas where it is necessary you can learn it then since it's usually just a sub-part of what you'd get taught in school. (like matrices and calculus for 3D graphics or understanding the modular multiplicative inverse for RSA crypto) It's usually the theoretical college parts for academics that focus on the mathematics.
