How hard would it be to create a terminal client for endchan/InfinityNow? I know that the OverChan android app can view this site; does that work by scraping or is there an API?

It would be much more comfy to browse here from the terminal than through the browser. You could have proper keyboard navigation between posts, and you wouldn't need a mouse at all. The biggest issue that comes to mind would be solving the captcha for making posts.

LynxChan is an imageboard engine I started developing in 2015 with performance and flexibility in mind. It now powers several chans, with some having a good amount of traffic, like http://mewch.net and http://endchan.xyz 

LynxChan 2.0 has entered it's beta with a stable release scheduled for 19/05.
It brings easily the biggest changes ever made in the project's nearly 3 years of existence, having completely changed templating and caching.
Now offering around 5 times better performance when serving pages and 50 times better performance when building pages it is trully deserving of a major version bump.
Along with these optimizations it includes the following features:

Links to board staff on board moderation page.
Page with details for media files, including a list of posts that use the file.
Implemented "remember me" on logins.
Thread's bump order is adjusted when replies are deleted.
Setting to configure the cache expiration of static files.
Optional headers and footers on pages.
Setting to completely hide unindexed boards.
E-mail confirmation.
Terminal command to change account's password.
E-mail notifications of reports made to content you can moderate.
Configurable limit of board message sizes.

The project's repository is at http://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan and my demo site is http://lynxhub.com

Does there exist any alternatives to the CUDA technologies offered by Nvidia? Asking because of a few software applications which I desire to run but rely on those technologies to work most efficiently.

Western Digital published a guide to transform the RISC-V HiFive Unleashed board into a desktop:
https://github.com/westerndigitalcorporation/RISC-V-Linux

SiFive completely open sourced their bootloader:
https://www.sifive.com/blog/2018/09/06/an-open-source-release-of-the-freedom-u540-c000s-bootloader/

This means Coreboot can now have more development on SiFi platforms:

The usage of Linux kernel as a payload (instead of bloated UEFI stuff) is going good too with the project LinuxBoot:
https://www.linuxboot.org/
Check this (very good) talk:
https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-9056-bringing_linux_back_to_server_boot_roms_with_nerf_and_heads

There's still some blobs, though. The GPU is not open hardware, although some project have open ISA (maybe in the next years):
https://github.com/VerticalResearchGroup/miaow
https://github.com/asicguy/gplgpu

There's also the concern about closed USB. The project WooKey is trying to solve this:
https://wookey-project.github.io/

Some years from now and we could actually have a RISC-V laptop. The Embedded Controller is still a issue (maybe solved with OpenEC), as well as the keyboard/mouse/display controllers:

CAN THIS BE DONE?

P2P web browsing via websites served and shared on individual nodes:
users can create their own websites and host them from their own computers/servers
users can upload and share other's websites on their own computers/servers
self serviced websites are manually named *but will generate a random entropy hash within the url, example:
node://7bv45ix0/8ch.net  or  node://c334o96y/endchan.xyz
*the random entropy hash prevents individuals from creating and overriding other established websites
endless domain creation: .com, .org, .info, .onion, .rebel, .on, .geek ... et al (infinite)
browser can access HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Zeronet, Beaker, eMule/eDonkee and various obscure networks.
browser is enabled for users to share files with others, creating decentralized P2P file sharing
the browser would have its own built-in decentralized search engine similar to YaCy that can pull up any content found
high standard end-to-end encryption would be active by default for all P2P connections
browser has a lightweight bit-torrent client built-in
onion routing is not mandated but the option would be allowed within the browser
I2P routing would also be an option for users
Dust and IPFS could be utilized in the browser for further anonymity and resilient decentralization.
Browser would come with its own built-in email client:
user's emails encrypted and hosted on their computers/servers in a secured directory

The purpose of this would be to create an all-in-one decentralized media sharing monster, rendering the current centralized internet pointless. No more worries about net neutrality or the EU's proposed web filtering or censoring sites like Kick Ass Torrents. It could become impossible for governments, corporations, politicians or media to censor or control narratives or our future.

So, they claim Russia attacked about 500,000 routers in Ukraine, with a software that gave root to them. Don't know if it's really from Russia or just democrats trying to push the "election-was-manipulated" agenda, but, that's the future: not as many bombs, but teams that crack the systems to get intel:

Does anybody here use stack exchange? Just curious, there are a lot of tech-oriented sites as part of stack exchange and I was wondering if /tech/ recommends any of them.
