infernal machines posted:depends on how you define workstation i guess. anything dual-socket will be legit, but there's not much of that. beyond that anything single socket that supports xeons and ecc should count, and gigabyte, asus, et al. have something it's just hard to find unless you go digging for it on their site. in fairly sure workstation in this case means "cheaper than consumer tier motherboard without marketing I dislike", and not legitimate boards like $500 WS C621E SAGE

eschaton posted:no, workstation in my case would actually mean at least some variants support multiple sockets, ECC, and so on well, those are made just by almost any motherboard manufacturer that exists

eschaton posted:the #1 attribute I want to avoid is the assumption I’ll throw it away for something newer in a year so they don’t have to provide firmware updates firmware updates are guaranteed to be a goner in 4-5 years, maybe even sooner - depends on the manufacturer. there's nothing inherently unstable about overclocking support however, unless you don't know what you do or got the first $99 cars you saw

what was thread consensus on telegram? im trying it out as a whatsapp replacement for sending cat photos to relatives and stupid jokes to friends and it seems ok + im happy to share less with facebook even if that means sharing more with less overreaching vk/kgb/whatever

Progressive JPEG posted:just use signal i wont get anyone there and dont care that much i think, but yeah ive heard of signal and tox, especially of signal itt. i wouldnt care much more than whatsapp either, but i really dont like that they were acquired by facebook on that note, apparently russian linux community has some homegrown messenger that needs in-person meeting with mutual qr code scanning to add someone to your contacts.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:this a bit of a stretch to fear this though, as the content/chats themselves are encrypted, and it is a bit tinfoily to assume that facebook straight up lies about the encryption setup used, as it'd be a real pr blow when (and it likely is 'when', since the binary is there to be observed) found out i dont think they read my chats or whatever, not do i care about security of cat pictures and video game chat specifically. i just don't like installing fb affiliated apps after ive seen some interesting "privacy" wonders on an absolutely unrelated to anything else i have throwaway instragram account, which did shamelessly recommend me all my real facebook friends straight away

Details about two vulnerabilities in an adult-themed virtual reality (VR) application were available to the general public for five days before the vendor intervened and patched the security holes. Research published by Digital Interruption, a UK-based cyber-security company, revealed that nVR, a web-based service selling adult-themed VR applications, contained two vulnerabilities that would have allowed an attacker to download names, email addresses and device (PC) names for everyone with an account on the site or for people who purchased content using PayPal accounts.
