Now that nyaa is DEAD FOREVER we can usher in a golden age of anime by using GNUnet.
>What is GNUnet?
Basically more secure open source perfect dark.
>What does that mean?
File searches and downloads are 100% done over a mesh network and onion routed and given cover traffic automagically. Files are stored in a distributed cache and can't be taken down or modified, just like bittorrent.
Instead of finding an alternative to nyaa, I think it'd be easier to give up and stop watching amine
Levi Ortiz
now why the fuck would we do that?
Landon Perry
I think it would be easier to just learn Japanese.
Landon Hill
Gnunet is actually very easy to get working on archlinux and gentoo.
Camden Evans
Path of least resistance
Xavier Powell
What happened to nyaa?
Don't you just use tokyotosho like always?
Joshua Scott
>Compile it Yeah, nah. The anime scene is second only to the video game scene in terms of computer illiterate people.
Anthony Sanchez
Do you have any idea how many good programmers are weebs? I'd say around half.
Matthew Kelly
Do you have any idea how much of Sup Forums's demographic are programmers? I'd say around a fiftieth.
Jacob Edwards
That's much higher than among the general population
Charles Lee
That's a great SakuraFish image.
Levi Green
Do you have any idea how many weebs are good programmers? I'd say barely even a thousandth of a percentile.
Aaron Gonzalez
General rule of thumb: The more open source they are, the more retarded at marketing they become.
Bittorrent would never take off for example, if it weren't for pre-compiled programs on windows. If this doesn't have that, then it's just a blunder waiting to happen.
Wyatt Jenkins
That's not what percentile means.
Henry Russell
Seems to work in the context I used it for, but maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
A thousandth of a percent, then.
Caleb Bell
Percentile is for using proportion of a population as a way of defining a rank for an analog quality. So you can say that someone is in X percentile of a population, but it's nonsensical to say that a gender or personality type is X percentile of a population, that's just percent.
William Cook
I see. You learn something new every day.
Lincoln Cruz
I never bothered with statistics. It just seemed to be 100% useless semantics exercise and memorisation.
Good thing I didn't drew it in exam, or I would have flunked instead of getting top grade.
Landon Mitchell
Is there a buildbot?
Matthew Garcia
you don't actually say "guh new" or "gooey" do you?
Juan Ortiz
>Want to watch Chinese cartoons >EU requires proprietary subscription software to watch >MFW the botnet wants me to be bored
Brayden Martin
tis just semantics. The problem is that a very large portion of Sup Forums can't program to save their lives.
Levi Gonzalez
That sounds like alot of work, I'd legitimately rather just switch over to streaming.
Joseph Anderson
It's not like bittorrent is dead just because Nyaa isn't online right now.
Xavier Allen
Thanks, I made it.
Not OP, but so happy someone else made this thread. Here to help guide anyone through the wonderful world of free[dom respecting] software.
We've sort of been waiting for the next major version to flood it with music and cartoons and really start pushing it, but if this will help some of you discover gnunet and start using it, I'll take it.
Psychological question, would have a gnunet uri `tracker' help you guys in transitioning? It would basically just be a searchable list of tagged URIs, something you can of course do on your own through gnunet - But I wonder if being being resistant to change, doing it through your browser like you did with torrents wouldn't make it easier.
Jaxson Robinson
That would make it easier.
Christian Baker
where do I learn to make/host a website on those? can they handle content?
Ethan Barnes
Gnunet is for filesharing. If you want to run a site you should use tor hidden services.
Caleb Thompson
Well, doing stuff other than filesharing on gnunet is possible, but there's not really any software that does it yet.
Hudson Gonzalez
Sup Forums, get out of my Sup Forums.
Elijah Baker
Can you throw up some windows binaries?
Juan Cox
gnunet is actually a full internet protocol replacement the file sharer is just one of many different types of clients the official team has put together you could conceivably write anything to work over gnunet it is a suite of protocols, not a program they also have one of the few remaining pleebnet navigable wobsites gnunet.org/ very informative if you have any questions if something isn't answered for you there, you might have luck in their room no freenode
Owen Ortiz
I have no free software. And even if I did, sharing it would be immoral.
Kayden King
s/free/nonfree/ whoops
Gabriel Sanchez
It's still moral to run free software on a nonfree platform if it kills a nonfree alternative.
Jack Gutierrez
Been watching anime for 30 years here without using torrents, someone tell me why should I worry about nyaa going down?
It might be easier to just install a usable OS though. I highly recommend GuixSD.
Jaxson Parker
I HATE IT!
Jordan Hill
I'm just waiting for freebsd to support my graphics hardware, that's when I'm gonna install a usable OS.
>sbuild is a convenient set of scripts which creates a working msys/mingw installation and installs most dependencies required for GNUnet.
They don't have their dependencies in-tree like most reasonable projects this size do?
Landon Bailey
...
Asher Wright
You don't have to worry grandpa, now kindly leave while everyone else kills themselves.
Jeremiah Brooks
as a windows game dev:
this is basically impossible to compile
you're not going to get any users (or developers) if your desktop software isn't easy to run on the main desktop os, at the very least there should be binaries, even if they're unstable, otherwise people won't know what the deal is
Xavier Butler
This. If there's no simple few-click install program, it's going to be quickly forgotten.
Dylan Foster
People who work on core/key GNU/free software projects don't typically know or care what wintards want.
Carter Parker
Where can I find things to download with this?
How do I make sure it's not all pizza?
Dominic Wilson
really looking for any opportunity to try to recruit people to the free software cult, huh
Asher Cruz
It has search built in like linewire or w/e
Justin Campbell
you open a terminal and run $ gnunet-search running this as a background process and piping it to a file might be something you want to do it will spit out the exact string gnunet-download wants as input you could also use the terrible gui, but i can't say i recommend it
like any other remote file, you can't
Jackson Peterson
So just like anything else I keep trying random shit and eventually accidentally get pizza, and get my door blown open.
Thanks but I'll pass.
Leo Watson
Sure but the "door blown open" part won't happen because technology
Sebastian Clark
>these people care about something >should prolly smear them as a cult
God forbid anyone today actually value freedom.
Cooper Peterson
Explain further.
People get doored for much less, and through torrents, even through Tor.
Carter Price
>Who develops GNUnet? >you I didn't ask for this
Connor Cox
Basically Gnunet: >done over a mesh network and onion routed and given cover traffic automagically
Torrents: not anonymous in any way, DHT is a mesh network but that's it
Tor: No cover traffic, traffic analysis attacks can determine whether you're operating on a connection if they're already suspecting you and can listen in on your network traffic, this is not true of gnunet because of cover traffic
Jason Morales
So it's Tor with cover traffic.
Isn't the attack of the government running most of the nodes still there?
Nicholas Williams
unlike torrents (which could just as easily contain pizza) no one can see what you're downloading
Logan Gray
If the government owns every node that your traffic goes through, yes.
If you're connected to at least one node that isn't owned by the government and they're the node that's used for cover traffic, no.
In other words, it's not like Tor where owning a significant small number of nodes (like 1%) lets them partially break a bunch of peoples' anonymity. They'd have to own literally most of the network, like it would take to compromise bitcoin.
Eli Martinez
Does your waifu use a type of software that respects her freedoms?
Logan Bell
My waifu is freebsd.
Grayson Thomas
gnunet is not tor and that user should really stop saying it is no, gnunet is supposedly set up in such a way that so long as there is a single uncompromised node, you can't tell shit about anyone else on the network
Joseph White
I'll give it a shot.
But if I search "loli" and get anything but anime and doujins I'm deleting your pedo botnet right now.
Thomas Smith
>gnunet is not tor and that user should really stop saying it is he didn't imply it was >no, gnunet is supposedly set up in such a way that so long as there is a single uncompromised node, you can't tell shit about anyone else on the network this is not true, at least if network means what it usually does
if network means "the nodes you happen to be connected to" then yes
Angel Jackson
Well i have a rough idea how it works, i have questions not obvious in the autistic documentation:
1) how much passive bandwidth will it use in and out of my usage for getting files. I need to cap. 2) how much drive space do i need to help the network. Again i need to cap. 3) how much control do i have for what types of the global cache i can ignore, or is that impossible?
Nathan Reed
There is literally like 10 pdfs on the entire network right now - No one is using it yet. Like I said, some of us have been waiting for the next major version release and intend to flood it with everything we own. I could start putting things up, but I'm about to leave on a roadtrip for all of May.
Jack Turner
Oh, for fucks sake. I'm a programmer. I could fucking compile this shit and install it. But it'd be pointless because unless you're gonna provide binaries for the 99% who can't there's never going to be any decent content available.
Torrents took off because they're dead fucking simple for the end user.
Julian Harris
>network populated exclusively by Sup Forums Yeah you just KNOW this place is going to be crawling with pizza.
Carson Collins
Holy shit I read one post and it's like i'm already in way over my head.
One of you Sup Forumsentlemen please point me to the nearest babby's guide to understanding computer literacy/online anonymity.
Jace Sanders
Network security is all about having a bunch of wires between random people and making it so that people who can only see the wires can't tell who's saying what to what.
Everything else, encryption, onion routing, cover traffic, is just ways to accomplish that.
Cameron Sullivan
Are you a pedo?
If yes, then you need to do tons of research and be very careful If no, then you don't need to care because nobody cares about anime.
Nolan Lewis
Any ideas when the next major version will happen?
Eli Young
If by `end user' you mean wangblows user, I don't care and I hope no one in the gnunet team ever tries to pander to those retards. If you chose to remain in a prison, you have no right to complain about this. Under the operating systems I use, gnunet is dead fucking simple.
Brody Gomez
Where can I learn about the basics of networking and computers? Even OS, i've read about Windows security concerns but can't comprehend it with my current level of knowledge.
Paranoid is a better description. I've started downloading a lot of music and games recently along with anime. I've read about ISPs throttling or threatening with action.
Landon Barnes
it's like you have no idea what GNU actually is or stands for
they're 100% hardcore ideologues who don't negotiate
Logan Campbell
>Paranoid is a better description. I've started downloading a lot of music and games recently along with anime. I've read about ISPs throttling or threatening with action. ISPs usually give you a warning first and it's rare that that actually happens (do you know how much normalfags pirate stuff like game of thrones on pirate bay? they have lower hanging fruit), don't waste your time unless you have to
Kevin Carter
>the files will come later, first you have to join us
James Thompson
It's great and all that you feel so strongly about free software. But you're using (working on?) something that by design requires a significant number of users. Without the wangblows users you're basically the niche of niche of niche and you'll never have a decent amount of content on the network.
Nicholas Gray
it's actually a helpful mechanism to keep well-meaning tech blog readers away from 20XX GNU software that never goes anywhere
Dylan Bailey
I didn't ask for nyaa to an hero before we were ready.
Gavin Cooper
>low barrier to entry resource goes down >here's a"simple" replacement >you just need a new OS, a new set of skills you don't have, new hardware, and once that's done the ability to just guess exactly how the fuck the original creators set their shit up because the program can "do anything"
Fuck you Sup Forums
Jaxon Lopez
Are you in the US? If so then basically you have nothing to worry about for games and anime. Nobody monitors that shit.
What will get scary warning notices relayed to you by your ISP informing you of however many strikes you've accumulated or making you watch videos on why piracy is bad before they restore your service is movies, music, and major network TV shows.
The industry companies there basically pay other companies to do nothing but sit on torrents, record IPs, trace them back to their ISP, and send letters to the ISP.
What the ISP does from there is up to their policy. A few are cool and don't give a shit because it's none of their business, others will cough up your name right away, and most have some sort of strike policy beyond which they make no promises not to divulge your private info so you can be sued for a bajillion dollars and thrown into jail for longer than a murder would have.
Luke Cox
Someone explain to a retard how to use XDCC to get older anime, thank you.
Adam Thomas
>XDCC It's just a file transfer over IRC between users. Find a network/channel with a bot setup that's sitting on a pile of anime tiddy. Message it "!help" or "help" or whatever and it'll spit instructions back to you on how to get listings and initiate transfers.
Hunter Rogers
What anime sharing channels are there? Only ever used #bookz.
Hudson Brooks
I have literally no idea. Haven't downloaded chinese cartoons via IRC in years.
Leo Garcia
Sup Forums has been terrible these last 5 years, what a shame. It'd be hilarious if it was just one guy with a shitposting script.
Brody Lee
Sup Forums's had the hardest downfall of any board
Kayden Barnes
pretty sure rizon is used for anime
Ryder Howard
Once i know there is a sub group dumping on GNUnet, i might go through the technical bullshit and compile this for my windows.
Compile, because these assholes have the console so far up their own ass they don't even bother to do it for the new userbase they need to build up. Make this shit easier guys.
Henry Phillips
Don't forget you're here forever.
Angel Smith
But that's a server not a channel.
Alexander Martin
>What happened to nyaa? New EU legal precedent means even watching streams or linking to pirated content can put your ass in prison for years. Nyaa got spooked.
Angel Foster
>muh video games >muh work computer if you're gonna be an idiot, at least buy a mac. there is zero respectable reason to use windows
