[00:12] 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] 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] 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] hehe [01:44] also is your number going to keep going up? am I gonna be seeing joepie-e+23 soon? :P [01:49] BlueMax: who knows... [01:49] :P [01:49] anyway [01:49] currently working on an automated sorting and upload script [01:50] for the afterhoursdjs.org archive [01:50] I want to automate it to the point of running ./start.sh and not having to care about it [01:50] :) [01:51] (ie. starts streamripper, runs a cronjob checking for new finished recordings, sorts them, uploads them) [03:39] wow [03:39] http://vpsboard.com/topic/2332-unmanagedserversnet-kvm-vps-in-atlanta-ga-599mo/ [03:39] shut down in just over a day afetr opening [03:39] lol [03:39] after * [03:44] 1 day 2 minutes [03:44] terribly businessperson [03:44] terrible * >_> [03:46] Aranje: "businessperson" would be being nice [03:46] yes they know how to wait a minute before killing the company [04:20] Um, if you go to page 2 the offer is back with a 100GB bandwidth cap (instead of 1TB) [04:20] seems like it would be a nice domain to own [04:27] phillipsj: read his last post heh [04:27] S[h]O[r]T; nah, it's too long and generic [04:27] it's not -bad- [04:27] but not really -good- either [04:37] 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] Shared hosting would not require renting such a beefy server AFAIK. [04:48] Microsoft has been dead to me since Vista: for the deliberate design flaws not fixed in 7 [04:49] those flaws are generally NSA backdoors when they have security problems [04:49] At the time, I was more concerned about hollywood back-doors. [04:49] hollywood backdoors? [04:50] "Protected media path" covers a lot of it. [04:51] idk what that even is [04:51] it's a backdoor? [04:51] More like a remote kill-switch. [04:51] DRM [04:52] It leverages a series of standards including AACS, HDCP, DTCP [04:55] 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] ah [04:56] i'm sure windows has loads of kill switches [04:56] All to make sure you can't make "unauthorized copies" [04:56] not as bad as a true backdoor though [04:56] phillipsj: what are your concerns re: Bitcoin? [04:56] * joepie92 might have answers [04:57] That is why the vista video drivers sucked on release: they were required by contract to be hard to debug. [04:57] joepie92, computers are inherently insecure, and likely will be for generations. [04:58] It is not clear to me that a crypto-currency can survive under those conditions. [04:58] crypto-currency isn't suppose to secure a computer [04:58] 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] and for the record, anyone using windows isn't going to be secure anyway [04:59] 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] For the web-host thing, I don't have the funds right now. [04:59] (a good example would be bitcoin armory and offline transactions) [04:59] Bitcoin is not the issue. [05:00] phillipsj: I do have to note that my question was in the context of I am debating whether I want to accept Bitcoin on my new webhosts' behalf. [05:00] :) [05:01] My webhost does not accept Bitcoin, so paying them cost me $18 CAD [05:02] $7 Money Order via XpressPost [05:03] ah [05:03] But they do have reseller plans ;) [05:05] It has been taking me months to set up my full node as well. (been busy) [05:07] BTW to the traditional banking system, it is "secure" if the customer has "zero liability" ie: fraudulent transactions can be reversed. [05:07] which is nice in theory, but not the case in practice :) [05:11] I worked out how to require co-signers for Bitcoin transactions -- O(n!) storage though. [06:45] "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] - WHMCS in a nutshell [07:11] hm [07:12] cc yipdw; in IA S3-like API, using boto (S3 library), how exactly do I set the item metadata [07:12] joepie91: I don't know, sorry [07:12] anyone else have any ieda? [07:12] I need to read up on boto myself [07:12] idea, evenm [07:12] even, even [07:13] yipdw: boto itself seems simple enough, but I haven't figured out where to set metadata yet :P [07:13] ahhh [07:13] found it [07:13] yipdw: http://owely.com/5LOa3I [07:14] ah, ok [07:14] neat [11:14] i'm going after this week in startups [11:17] http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=727728 [11:17] gnight, watch over my lolis while i'm asleep [16:36] We get ALL kinds here [17:09] who do i ask about a site that's about to go down? [17:10] not mine [17:10] the ghostbusters aren't here so you'll have to make do with us [17:10] lol [17:11] i can mirror it easily [17:11] but it looks like the owner expressed interest in rehosting the site himself in a forum post [17:11] how big of a site is it [17:11] boompje [17:12] they were the guys responsible for the unofficial mac client for league of legends for twoish yeats [17:12] *years [17:12] so a mirror may pull whatever patches they had hosted [17:13] and it looks like archiveorg doesn't have the forum archived [17:13] hmm looks too big for a simple archivebot grab [17:14] how do i make wget pretend to be archive.org like we were doing [17:15] http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wget#Creating_WARC_with_wget [17:15] no no, the useragent [17:15] oh [17:15] hurr [17:16] we're not spoofing the archive.org user agent [17:19] didn't we when we did posterous [17:24] it keeps saying "not a directory" [17:24] for the rewritten stuff [18:02] go easy with the enter button, mate [20:58] http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2013/10/25/new-hilarious-meme-the-overly-suave-it-guy-pics/
