00:12 🔗 joepie92 Oh dear God in heaven do NOT even think it, much less say it! Good God man, do you have ANY idea the soul sucking den of evil you are making light of? Imagine, you are just a humming along, all happy as can be with your shotgunned modems and your overclocked Celeron pumping 600MHz with Win98 stripped down like a used Buick all hot rodded when BAM...you hit the tar pit that is Geocities.
00:12 🔗 joepie92 Suddenly all the fans scream to life, desperately trying to keep the Comet Cursor that suddenly is hanging a fricking pocket watch off your arrow like a swing ball of snot from blowing your CPU, your modems strain under a bazillion animated GIFs, while you are blinded by a neon purple background with snot green text in the always evil "OMG Ponies!" style, complete with little stardust shit dripping off their "brilliant"
00:12 🔗 joepie92 prose, when SLAM the overload of total lameness kills Win98 and you are staring at a BSOD, which sadly is kinda comforting at that moment because at least it ain't fricking purple or swinging snot clocks. So don't joke about Geocities pal, those of us that lived through it will end up having nightmares! That is like joking about Bonzi Buddy to PC repairman, you just DON'T, okay?
01:29 🔗 * BlueMax hides from the scorned joepie92
01:38 🔗 joepie92 hehe
01:44 🔗 BlueMax also is your number going to keep going up? am I gonna be seeing joepie-e+23 soon? :P
01:49 🔗 joepie92 BlueMax: who knows...
01:49 🔗 joepie92 :P
01:49 🔗 joepie92 anyway
01:49 🔗 joepie92 currently working on an automated sorting and upload script
01:50 🔗 joepie92 for the afterhoursdjs.org archive
01:50 🔗 joepie92 I want to automate it to the point of running ./start.sh and not having to care about it
01:50 🔗 joepie92 :)
01:51 🔗 joepie92 (ie. starts streamripper, runs a cronjob checking for new finished recordings, sorts them, uploads them)
03:39 🔗 joepie92 wow
03:39 🔗 joepie92 http://vpsboard.com/topic/2332-unmanagedserversnet-kvm-vps-in-atlanta-ga-599mo/
03:39 🔗 joepie92 shut down in just over a day afetr opening
03:39 🔗 joepie92 lol
03:39 🔗 joepie92 after *
03:44 🔗 Aranje 1 day 2 minutes
03:44 🔗 Aranje terribly businessperson
03:44 🔗 Aranje terrible * >_>
03:46 🔗 joepie92 Aranje: "businessperson" would be being nice
03:46 🔗 Aranje yes they know how to wait a minute before killing the company
04:20 🔗 phillipsj Um, if you go to page 2 the offer is back with a 100GB bandwidth cap (instead of 1TB)
04:20 🔗 S[h]O[r]T seems like it would be a nice domain to own
04:27 🔗 joepie92 phillipsj: read his last post heh
04:27 🔗 joepie92 S[h]O[r]T; nah, it's too long and generic
04:27 🔗 joepie92 it's not -bad-
04:27 🔗 joepie92 but not really -good- either
04:37 🔗 phillipsj I am debating whether I want to accept Bitcoin on my new webhosts' behalf. Offering VPS's would be the most capital intensive part of the project.
04:38 🔗 phillipsj Shared hosting would not require renting such a beefy server AFAIK.
04:48 🔗 phillipsj Microsoft has been dead to me since Vista: for the deliberate design flaws not fixed in 7
04:49 🔗 ryonaloli those flaws are generally NSA backdoors when they have security problems
04:49 🔗 phillipsj At the time, I was more concerned about hollywood back-doors.
04:49 🔗 ryonaloli hollywood backdoors?
04:50 🔗 phillipsj "Protected media path" covers a lot of it.
04:51 🔗 ryonaloli idk what that even is
04:51 🔗 ryonaloli it's a backdoor?
04:51 🔗 phillipsj More like a remote kill-switch.
04:51 🔗 phillipsj DRM
04:52 🔗 phillipsj It leverages a series of standards including AACS, HDCP, DTCP
04:55 🔗 phillipsj The encrypted data is copied of the blu-ray disk, descrambled, re-encrypted, sent to the video card, decrypted, processed, re-encrypted, sent to the display, decrypted and displayed to the user/
04:56 🔗 ryonaloli ah
04:56 🔗 ryonaloli i'm sure windows has loads of kill switches
04:56 🔗 phillipsj All to make sure you can't make "unauthorized copies"
04:56 🔗 ryonaloli not as bad as a true backdoor though
04:56 🔗 joepie92 phillipsj: what are your concerns re: Bitcoin?
04:56 🔗 * joepie92 might have answers
04:57 🔗 phillipsj That is why the vista video drivers sucked on release: they were required by contract to be hard to debug.
04:57 🔗 phillipsj joepie92, computers are inherently insecure, and likely will be for generations.
04:58 🔗 phillipsj It is not clear to me that a crypto-currency can survive under those conditions.
04:58 🔗 ryonaloli crypto-currency isn't suppose to secure a computer
04:58 🔗 ryonaloli all we need is zerocoin to be integrated with bitcoin and it'll be as secure as can be. the rest is up to the user
04:58 🔗 ryonaloli and for the record, anyone using windows isn't going to be secure anyway
04:59 🔗 joepie92 phillipsj: the short answer to that, is that Bitcoin is not inherently any less secure than traditional (online/digital) banking methods, and can actually be more secure
04:59 🔗 phillipsj For the web-host thing, I don't have the funds right now.
04:59 🔗 joepie92 (a good example would be bitcoin armory and offline transactions)
04:59 🔗 phillipsj Bitcoin is not the issue.
05:00 🔗 joepie92 phillipsj: I do have to note that my question was in the context of <phillipsj>I am debating whether I want to accept Bitcoin on my new webhosts' behalf.
05:00 🔗 joepie92 :)
05:01 🔗 phillipsj My webhost does not accept Bitcoin, so paying them cost me $18 CAD
05:02 🔗 phillipsj $7 Money Order via XpressPost
05:03 🔗 joepie92 ah
05:03 🔗 phillipsj But they do have reseller plans ;)
05:05 🔗 phillipsj It has been taking me months to set up my full node as well. (been busy)
05:07 🔗 phillipsj BTW to the traditional banking system, it is "secure" if the customer has "zero liability" ie: fraudulent transactions can be reversed.
05:07 🔗 joepie92 which is nice in theory, but not the case in practice :)
05:11 🔗 phillipsj I worked out how to require co-signers for Bitcoin transactions -- O(n!) storage though.
06:45 🔗 joepie91 "now our credit cards are not processing in the nightly batch with the new patch of the patch of the patch (i.e. v5.2.12)"
06:46 🔗 joepie91 - WHMCS in a nutshell
07:11 🔗 joepie91 hm
07:12 🔗 joepie91 cc yipdw; in IA S3-like API, using boto (S3 library), how exactly do I set the item metadata
07:12 🔗 yipdw joepie91: I don't know, sorry
07:12 🔗 joepie91 anyone else have any ieda?
07:12 🔗 yipdw I need to read up on boto myself
07:12 🔗 joepie91 idea, evenm
07:12 🔗 joepie91 even, even
07:13 🔗 joepie91 yipdw: boto itself seems simple enough, but I haven't figured out where to set metadata yet :P
07:13 🔗 joepie91 ahhh
07:13 🔗 joepie91 found it
07:13 🔗 joepie91 yipdw: http://owely.com/5LOa3I
07:14 🔗 yipdw ah, ok
07:14 🔗 yipdw neat

17:10 🔗 Sue_ lol
17:11 🔗 Sue_ i can mirror it easily
17:11 🔗 Sue_ but it looks like the owner expressed interest in rehosting the site himself in a forum post
17:11 🔗 DFJustin how big of a site is it
17:11 🔗 Sue_ boompje
17:12 🔗 Sue_ they were the guys responsible for the unofficial mac client for league of legends for twoish yeats
17:12 🔗 Sue_ *years
17:12 🔗 Sue_ so a mirror may pull whatever patches they had hosted
17:13 🔗 Sue_ and it looks like archiveorg doesn't have the forum archived
17:13 🔗 DFJustin hmm looks too big for a simple archivebot grab
17:14 🔗 Sue_ how do i make wget pretend to be archive.org like we were doing
17:15 🔗 DFJustin http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wget#Creating_WARC_with_wget
17:15 🔗 Sue_ no no, the useragent
17:15 🔗 Sue_ oh
17:15 🔗 Sue_ hurr
17:16 🔗 DFJustin we're not spoofing the archive.org user agent
17:19 🔗 Sue_ didn't we when we did posterous
17:24 🔗 Sue_ it keeps saying "not a directory"
