This board should probably be done away with/unlisted. Nobody uses it because everybody is likely using Windows.
What is your opinion?

2 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/21 15:03

it should be replaced with /DOS/

3 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/21 23:35

I mean, it's a generalist tech board,no? Why would using Windows prevent people from using it as that?

Android, MacOS, and Linux are all UNIX-like. And I have used them all this year.

9 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/27 03:15

Android is GayLinux and Linux is just a gay port of Solaris while MacOS was the product of multiple generation BSD incest.

10 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/27 03:19

MacOS and Android were invented to organize the user's gay porn and PENIS photograph collections respectively

11 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/27 03:50

MacOS seems like the best user friendly Unix out there. Too bad Apple will rape your wallet and your privacy.

【2:13】 Creating the World2ch dedicated browser

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/06 04:37

I think the easiest way to create a dedicated browser is to modify an existing 2ch browser.
I believe a good candidate for modification is JaneXeno: https://janexeno.client.jp/

What will have to be done is the UI translated to English, and the program rewritten to accept
the kareha software. I know it's specific on what kind of textboard softwares it can take.

Why not make it in Visual Studio? that would be the easiest to code it in

Yup, the hardest part is to make an XML API for the database. After that, you just drag and drop forms together, and write some VB!

9 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/08 04:32

Although it wouldn't be legitimate, is it possible to have the browser just read the html which is the database anyway?

10 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/08 04:34

>>9
Of course, but like you said, it would be illegitimate.

11 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/09 10:26

I think janexeno may make it's own html output based upon the data files, but I may be wrong. I say this because it displays 5ch threads as if they were still in the old style

OpenBSD is confusing af to install I'll give that to you, also it's very likely that it doesn't have the appropriate drivers specially if installing on a laptop

The only thing I can think of is disk partitioning, but it's just different from Linux installers. Everything else is smooth, it even has easy FDE now. I'm talking about 7.*, maybe it was different before.

【5:12】 how much programming do you do

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/27 14:05

I don't do nearly enough these days. 90% of programming I've done in the last 3 months is writing shell scripts to convert video or pictures or audio or whatever, and those are all just some variation on getting arguments and then calling ffmpeg, imagemagick, or something from the netpbm suite.

I was also writing some website software for a board in Python, but I am really lazy and haven't touched it in weeks. It's in a usable state, but you would get fucked pretty quickly if you tried to host on the open internet against an actual attacker.

3 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/28 04:56

visual basic? like, VB6 era stuff or VB .net?

I do like using C# and WinForms in Visual Studio whenever I do windows stuff, but I'm usually too lazy to bother. It's like using VB but with a much better language.

Through a fucking ungodly set of subroutines, which do things that I have to learn an entire language to comprehend. Wish me luck.

8 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/04 12:24

Okay I mostly figured it out, but for some reason hashmaps don't want to cooperate with me.
It's about as unholy as I expected. The HTML document has a comment(that browsers drop) which provides some general information, and then the predictable nature of the HTML document(there's line breaks in specific spots to denote each database entry.) There's specialized subroutines to break it down even FURTHER because the returned database actually retains its HTML tags and thus needs further processing rather than sensibly getting rid of all of that BEFORE get_thread finishes.
This is some serious MIT PHD coding, /JesusTakeTheWheel/.

9 Name: Nameless : 2025/08/04 13:54

Maybe it would be beneficial to ring up MIT and ask them what they were thinking, if they can understand human speech.

【7:24】 Best approach for (portable) web development?

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/20 10:05

I'm curious what the best approach is for web development. I want to make a web program but I need to be able to switch from my desktop and laptop at any given time. What's the best approach to that?

(Bonus points for no virtualization as my laptop cannot handle virtualization.)

15 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/25 19:02

>I want to make a web program but I need to be able to switch from my desktop and laptop at any given time. What's the best approach to that?

The right way to do it is to use a version control system (git). It looks hard, but actually you'll only need to learn basic commands for your goals. Set up a master branch of development and sync with it on both of your devices.

16 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/25 19:09

For portable server software the right way to do it is docker, yeah. Just learn bare minimum, ask chatgpt to generate you a Dockerfile or look at github for projects with a similar stack, they'll most likely have a Dockerfile that you can learn from.

17 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/25 19:20

Docker does not require virtualization btw, at least on Linux. You're using Linux, don't you?

18 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/27 01:13

>>13
Perhaps, but I don't think I have a set of conflicting requirements here. Any other project of mine literally follows the same layout: Portable prerequisite programs(IE: compilers, emulators, Git,) stuck on a virtual hard drive, and a bunch of my scripts. Whether it be BASIC, C/C++, assembly, or Love2D, that's how it goes.
The fact I cannot seem to make a web version of my VHDs is annoying as shit.

>>14
Almost every day, EXCEPT right now because I'm a bit over 400 miles from my desktop.

>>15
I do not have good experiences with synchronizing Git, but I do already use it to some extent. I just like local copies more.

>>16 >>17
>ChatGPT
I'm not a vibe coder. If I'm going to do something I'm gonna try to do it right. I've asked ChatGPT TWICE for assistance with JS and honestly, my experience went poorly, so I don't want to try that again.
Anyways, I might use Docker once my laptop gets changed out for something that SUPPORTS VIRTUALIZATION.
I actually hate Linux and would only ever use it as server software.

19 Name: Nameless : 2025/07/27 07:33

>I just like local copies more.

No remote server is required, it's possible to set up a repository on a USB stick or SD card

>I actually hate Linux and would only ever use it as server software.

what does this mean lol? with git you have your local copies but you can push/pull changes between them (generally using a git server). you can even work on different branches. It's not like using Google Docs or something and git != github. listen to >>19 he understands the assignment

>if you don't want to use git, use fossil
But I already use Git.
>what does this mean lol?
Pushing changes to a Git server has historically not gone well to me. That's what I mean by "synchronization." I just use local repositories as a result, even if I am forced to takeown /f "%~d0\*" /r every time I want to switch computers.

I have a daring plan, gentleman. We shall make battle spaceships real.
You may know of the X-15 and other experimental aircraft capable of flying to the edge of space, out of earth's atmostphere. I propose here today that we modify these aircrafts to fit our plans for intergalactic colonization.

As you see below, this in-depth blue print details exactly how this will be executed:
http://world2ch.net/uploader/src/046.jpg

The X-15 will be modified with additional rockets and gas tanks to power it's journey once it crosses outside the atmosphere, laser guns will be added in a later prototype. You may recall that there is no air in space, thus there would be no air resistance or friction. Who knows the limit of this creation, perhaps we can finally destroy the threat of the moon.
