So Marxism-Leninism is obviously opposed to abstraction since it's idealism, but what will be the fate of programming languages that have their entire root in abstractionism like Python and R? I know biotechnicians base a lot of their technical knowledge in these languages which is basically called for since a large portion of biology nowadays is dominated by mendelian idealists who think lysenkoism is wrong and bad, so clearly programming languages have suffered from the same kind of idealistic penetration as biology itself. Will communism destroy idealistic programming languages like python and R?

Dialectics are an abstraction.

C pointers and structs are abstractions. No double** pointers exist in real machine code, what the CPU process is nothing but a sequence of bytes, which are also an abstraction, since bytes are nothing but electrical current interpreted as binary numbers.
>so clearly programming languages have suffered from the same kind of idealistic penetration as biology itself.
MLs are also idealists. They think they can apply the pure idea of the Russian revolution to the current material conditions, and they can't get their shit together since the fall of the USSR.

(i have already made this in other chans, i need all the help i can get)

so i'm motivated to planing to create a archive for threads and websites. thread and web writings that are important enough, have quality, and or can be used to counter western media and history naratives.

the archive i want to create for the threads is different from things like internet archive or things like that because i want to actually save all the file that is uploaded unlike regular archive where not every file and many that are uploaded in the thread were not saved in the archive.

if i can i want to make a website for this but i do not have any experience about creating website and coding nor can i do it. i also have special-ed mental that make me unable to learn coding like normal people so its hard.

my main plan is to use httrack and use every file format list from wikipedia and other websites, then copy that list to httrack file format selection thing

i want help from every people here, so if you can please send something

also adhd brained, if anyone can please help me tidy the "list of file format" list on wikipedia.

delete whatever decription/writing near it, make it sort of like a list like the pic i post.

wget -mpckE --user-agent="" -e robots=off --wait 1 www.foo.com

Explanation: https://dheinemann.com/posts/2022-02-05-archiving-a-website-with-wget

Then with { } and the && operator (or a shell script) you can download all kinds of websites, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
wget -mpckE --user-agent="" -e robots=off --wait 1 $1
echo "done"

save as archive.sh, chmod +x it and then in terminal:
$ ./script.sh www.leftypol.{org,net}


wget will automatically convert all pages to .html, make the links relative, and you will have an offline mirror of the website.

These are optimal for privacy and yet nobody knows how to use them. They aren't routed through cell towers like any regular cell phone but instead radio masts and virtual switchboards (which you can set one up yourself but good luck at maintaining it, because it requires a lot of technical skill). Activating the SIM is a pain in the ass. And they cost a fuckton of money. But they let you spoof your number, encrypt your calls, making for delays at times, cannot receive calls, and they let you change your voice and see if somebody's tapping your connection so you can shut them out.

These phones are what glowuyghurs use. Don't bother getting a Pixel, a Librem or a Pine64.

The best laptops for privacy are the old and simple ones. Old thinkpads, for example. Because it is only recently that intel put that ME into CPUs. A thinkpad T60/61 doesn't have the backdoor CPU stuff.

Anyone got an idea what could be happening here?

I have a fat32 partition on a flash drive for live booting and want to use the remaining space for storage.

I can format #2 as fat, exfat, ntfs, btrfs, whatever.
But if I try
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdb2

it gets stuck and then says
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: mke2fs: Input/output error while writing out and closing file system

Similar problem with ext2.

Scaling down the partition to 1GB or reducing the number of inodes doesn't help either.

After trying other file systems I wondered if this may be due to some kind of anti-linux DRM in the flash key's internal driver software.
But alas, even using cryptsetup on /dev/sdb2 does not help, it still only works with other filesystems.

If this error message is from a journal-less filesystem then it must have come from btrfs, but thanks for the info.

>I'm starting to supect it's the flash drive or your usb hub is flaky.

It didn't work on two PCs with two OS's.
One is a 10 year old gaming rig, the other ancient prehistoric hardware someone gave away. Those should be different enough.

Lubuntu 5.x kernel, antiX 4.x kernel.

Could it be a bug in mkfs.ext4?
e2fsprogs: Lubuntu - 1.46.3, antiX - 1.46.2

Maybe its the flash drive, but why?
As I said above, even when I used cryptsetup and tried to format /dev/mapper/usb-encrypted I got the same result.

Io errors on block devices only happen with bad hardware, device drivers or partition tables, not because of partitioning tools.

Filesystems commonly have multiple superblocks for redundancy (they are at the sector numbers mkfs.ext2 prints during partitioning). Your fsck indicates all of them were garbage, so something must be very wrong.

 No.21173

Try this with e2fsck:
       -c     This  option  causes  e2fsck to use badblocks(8) program to do a
              read-only scan of the device in order to find  any  bad  blocks.
              If any bad blocks are found, they are added to the bad block in‐
              ode to prevent them from being allocated to a file or directory.
              If  this option is specified twice, then the bad block scan will
              be done using a non-destructive read-write test.

 No.21177

>>21173
>Try this with e2fsck -c -c
mkfs.ext4 -c -c tests for bad blocks before writing.
I downsized the btrfs sdb2 and created sdb3 for testing,
(0/0/0) errors and it still doesn't work.

Furthermore, searching for bad blocks on a usb stick is pointless afaik because those drives constantly check for bad blocks themselves, due to flash storage wearing out more easily than others.
Flash drives have an abundance of "secret" storage space that is activated whenever part of their memory breaks down.
This is the reason why data eraser tools can not reliably be used on flash drives
Afaik there's also custom driver software that you can put on USB keys to make that backup space accessible, thus increasing available storage space.

Back to me:
If on 128GB of storage even a small 1GB partition can not be ext2/ext4 formatted, that's impossible when 45 GB video data on 120GB btrfs partition can be written (and read again) flawlessly.

Btw here someone says it doesn't make sense at all to check for bad blocks on newer drives of any kind:

I view Threads as a project that Facebook/Meta had always on the backburner, and they were pushed by the US to release so that intelligence services had an alternative ready if/when Twitter dies. If Threads doesn't release on Europe, I would view that as another crack on Atlanticism and another step in the creation of an American Firewall. Thoughts?

Lets put aside all the glowing conspiracy nonsense shall we? Its crying wolf to the point that when there is something legitimately concerning people will be tired of you claiming that everyone and everything is somehow a CIA plot with hairbrained "evidence"..

>Threads in Europe delay

This is just as simple as that the EU has at least a handful of of privacy and data use regulations that aren't present in the US. Everyone heard that whole Threads connected to Instagram accounts et.. thing here in the US? Well in EU they have to prove that the info is silo'd and there are more declarations and and that probably a lot of the "retention" and data mining stuff that Zucc wants to do and is free to do in the US, cannot be done without jumping through more hoops in Europe.

>>20865
>>20866
Its all basically just Zucc trying to take advantage of Musk's mistakes and get another type of social media user into their walled garden. This is why connecting it to all the other Meta apps is important and also they're trying to leverage another form of "engagement" which can be monetized. Honestly, if it wasn't for Musk doing crazy shit very public with Twitter I imagine they would have taken on a TikTok alternative first.

>Fediverse stuff

>>20867
Though I like the picture and think its well made, I think it gives Meta too much power. Certainly be wary of their behavior, but there are other things to consider.
>>20869
I don't think this is accurate, assuming there some single speech controlling project globally. There are a number of different interests that cross over or make use of resources at different times but its not as though there's some giant cabal with one intent all sitting at a table. A lot of it is simple to explain by normal capitalism doing capitalism profit seeking.

It's perfectly usable without using CLI, unless you want to really fine tune the system, automate shit, etc. Stuff that you couldn't do on Windows/Mac anyway without use of CLI and scripting, and even then you were far more limited. Not to mention that most of this shit is actually configured via text files, and you can use whatever GUI text editor you want for that.

To conclude: if your needs are the same as a Windows/Mac user than you absolutely don't need to touch the command line at all.
If you want to go beyond that then you're probably a geek interested in CLI and scripting anyway.
