What's the point of a vm
just compile for your configuration, and chroot if you are testing unsafe programs
6 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>63770902
chroot isn't really designed to isolate programs safely in any way. There are things like unprivileged containers with LXC or FreeBSD jails which provide a more robust solution.

The idea of using virtual machines / containers in general to run programs though, as well as to limit the scope of exploitation to some extent, is to run applications with a strictly fixed and reproducible set of dependencies. You could say however this isn't really relevant with statically-linked programs or applications that otherwise bundle all their dependencies, in which case there's only really the security thing.

Also more generally, VMs are useful for hosting VPSes, where people can rent a server and run whatever they want on it, without having to rent an entire dedicated server.
>>
>>63771329
Why have them at home though
>>
>>63771567
At home, perhaps for trying out different operating systems / distros, or running Windows software on Linux or Mac OSX or running POSIX software on Windows.
>>
>>63770902
chroot doesn't do hardware level abstraction. they are different tools for different use cases, you'll understand when you will stop being a complete mouthbreather

Is this superior browser for white people actually dead right now or its living but development are slow(like xfce)? Commits are very rare, and also xul deprecation. I'm still running it through palemoon and it works nice but is there any viable alternatives? Are there any browsers for emacs users? Most of alternative browsers like qutebrowser, vimb, luakit, surf, uzbl are made for vim users and I was using conkeror because I'm heavy user of emacs and stumpwm and my workflow are centered around it(mu4e, elfeed, dired, emms ensime, cider and others), and conkeror provided me familiar environment programmable in js instead of clisp/elisp [spoiler]even though I prefer clojure and racket[/spoiler].

I fucked up tumbling bitcoin and now I need an extra .0002 to withdraw the rest. If I buy a normal amount from my exchange, I'd have to wait for days for the bank transfer to clear, and if I go through something like LocalBitcoins I'll get laughably ripped off. Any advice on quickly acquiring a small amount of coin?

Is there any new shit currency worth mining for
>>
>>63771120
They made it illegal to trade cryptocurrencies or for cryptocurrencies on exchanges and made it illegal for new cryptocurrencies to raise startup funds with an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). This was after several major exchanges were hacked or otherwise tampered with and with evidence of ICO's being used to manipulate cryptocurrency prices.

You can still possess and trade cryptocurrencies in China. You just can't trade them or buy them on an exchange and you can't use an ICO to commit fraud. So, in actuality, they took two direct steps toward legitimizing cryptocurrencies and the markets they're traded on.

I'm sure that as soon as a cryptocurrency exchange is cleared as clean by several international agencies (which there are multiple exchanges in the process of doing exactly that) they'll lift that ban.

People and organizations were using cryptocurrencies to launder and transfer money without paying taxes. They don't give a shit if you use it, they just want to put a hold on things until they can effectively trace/tax it and until they can make sure that people aren't going to be victims of fraud.

The US has taken similar steps as well. There's a bill going through the Senate right now to make hiding holdings of cryptocurrencies illegal. Why? Because they want to get paid taxes on it and don't want people doing illegal shit with it. Same goddamn reason why any transaction of more than 10k worth of cash is automatically flagged for investigation by the IRS/FBI.

Depends. Are you trying to mine something that's not worth dick and hold onto it forever in the hopes that it goes up in value massively, or are you just looking to turn a profit? What kind of hardware do you have?
>>
>>63771312
>Are you trying to mine something that's not worth dick and hold onto it forever in the hopes that it goes up in value massively

That, sort of. I only got an i5 4460 and one 280x right here so I can't do much with it. Turning a profit seems impossible as of right now unless I invest a lot.
>>
>>63771354
https://whattomine.com

Yeah, with only a single 280x you're not gonna be able to make much of a profit mining anything listed on an exchange and unless you get in a mining pool you won't have much luck with startup coins either since you just don't have enough processing power to try to solve a block on your own.

My personal recommendation for you would be MinerGate. I use them. Automatically switches to whichever coin is the most profitable to mine with your hardware after running a couple benchmarks on your system to see what it's best for. Only kinda shit part is the limit for withdrawals for your coins can be a bit high for some of them but that information is available to you before you ever start mining if you look for it.

Granted, they're like kiddies first cryptomining venture. They take a 1% cut of your mined coins and their software isn't as efficient as setting up mining software in something like a linux environment or a stripped Windows installation, but it'll make you some money if you stick with it long enough. With your hardware CPU+GPU mining you'll probably make between $1.70-$2.00 a day after electricity costs, possibly a little more if you overclock but make sure you set a static GPU fanspeed of like 60-80% to keep it from overheating.

With an overclocked GTX 1070 and an overclocked 4790k I clear $3.25-$4.10 a day in profit depending on what the client decides to mine and how the exchange rates for the cryptos they mine are doing that day.

It exploded in price because it is about to be listed on an index in some place.
Some futures index.

There is also a war between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash community to try fuck each others butts and make them lose money.
I highly expect all these newcomers will lose considerable amounts of money when the ones with lots of coins sells and drops the value through sheer panic when everyone else reacts.
It's classic pump and dump that happens all the time with Bitcoin.

It's not about just not deleting your history
it's about third party cookies and other tracking scripts those sites inject into your browser to harvest as much data as possible
Firefox has some really decent tracking protection built-in, but if you don't feel like switching from chorme, just install privacy badger and it will do most of the work for you

Ideally, you should leave Tor running all the time whether or not you actually need it. If you use it only when you need to hide something, you're doing it wrong.

Also, it's better to break into other people's WiFi and use Tor from there.
