- Untitled May 27, 2024 2:53 pmand it's a pity. sometimes I think it would be great to see some insightful blog post or random reddit comment boiled down to it's essentials and saved somewhereI remember all the times when I encountered some stupid but amazing ideas when trawling old download sites
- Untitled May 27, 2024 2:49 pmif there's one thing I miss of the early net it's the way people just put their random shit and fun comments ideas in a textfile and saved it for public consumption somewhere. there's still a few archives around (e.g. textfiles.com), but new stuff isn't really added anymore#internet
- Untitled May 26, 2024 4:42 pmAh, the high drama of who gets the first pieces of cake on a children's birthday. Very Game of Thrones, but the knives go into the cake.
- Untitled May 26, 2024 4:10 pmOn a children's birthday right now, but sitting on the side, puzzled about my home server. Why can't I connect to it? I'd assume it's down, but it isn't. Can't ssh to it, ping times out, traceroute doesn't work, webpages aren't served. But the other irc server connected to mine still sees it, the bouncer, and the bots, so these still work... And they still are connected to the net because I just got a response from one.#itismagic
- Untitled May 25, 2024 5:20 pm@lkh also you need to know where on the target system the files actually are located
- Untitled May 25, 2024 5:19 pm@lkh interestingly uucp also can be used as a fileshare server. if one is willing to wait a while for their stuff to arrive (depending on how often the servers in between poll each other)
- Untitled May 25, 2024 4:36 pm@lkh and then we will have our computers meshed together which means we can send mails via uucp to...*checks notes*us two. Hmm...
- Untitled May 25, 2024 4:31 pmtrying to get #uucp running with @lkh (still!)now I know why SMTP is called the **Simple** mail transfer protocol#email #smtp
- Untitled May 25, 2024 2:31 pmI am intrigued, but am I willing to spend money on this?#sweets #wtfisthis
- Untitled May 25, 2024 9:54 amafter troubleshooting way too long into the night this morning it finally dawns on me: when I tripped the fuse the rpi rebooted, but my laptop didn't. So when the network came back the laptop registered on the network first and by chance got the IP the rpi normally reserves for itself. So all the time when I was trying to ping my little server I was pinging my own notebook and of course I saw it as online
- Untitled May 25, 2024 9:51 amah, IT issues... yesterday I tripped a fuse when making dinner (the electric kettle somehow creates a power surge just before boiling, and when the oven runs at the same time it gets tripped).When I put it back my small rpi server in the living room all of a sudden makes issues. It runs, and I can connect to it from the outside, but somehow not from inside my home network. But I ping it and it seems to be on... but I just can't seem to ssh onto it anymore.#rpi #itwoes #linux

- Untitled May 24, 2024 11:15 amconfiguring #uucp with @lkh sometimes I wonder if maybe we all are a bit too geeky?

- Untitled May 23, 2024 11:22 amit's 2024. I didn't think I needed to have a bookmark tab for alternative search engines anymore, but here we go...
- Untitled May 23, 2024 10:59 amugh, intermittent network problems. not a proper outage, but still incredibly annoying.
- Untitled May 22, 2024 10:49 pmtrying to get #matterbridge working between #irc and #xmpp so far I fucked up the integrations i had beforehand. It's a process.
- Untitled May 22, 2024 11:29 am@gonzohistory ah no, the wayback machine seems to be down....THE WAYBACK MACHINE IS DOWN! PANIC!!!!
- Untitled May 22, 2024 11:22 am@gonzohistory hmm, that's odd... can't even open the original pages for the lexicon game with the #wayback machine
- Untitled May 22, 2024 11:20 am@gonzohistory had a great idea in one of his last few podcase episodes: a game of Lexicon where the players create a fantasy bestiary as a handout for players. That sounds like something I might want to try. You could integrate this with a game of #dnd or so, where players get some extra xp or something for bestiary entries. https://monsterman.libsyn.com/special-episode-medieval-bestiarieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicon_(game)#ttrpg
