| bts3685|vps | ChinnoDog: i just tried it on an ubu vm. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| bts3685|vps | as long as you pass it to sudo, no warnings. | 00:00 |
| anduril | ChinnoDog one of the articles there on wikipedia talked about secureerase being built into the latest ATA standards but now I cant find it | 00:00 |
| bts3685|vps | also, a totally hosed filesystem | 00:00 |
| bts3685|vps | hosed / filesystem at least. you're a little safe if you have /home etc. on diff. partitions | 00:01 |
| ChinnoDog | Or you didn't ignore world backup day | 00:02 |
| bts3685|vps | true | 00:02 |
| bts3685|vps | but either way it requires a baremetal os reinstall. | 00:03 |
| ChinnoDog | I have a lot of modems | 03:51 |
| ChinnoDog | I haven't even used a house phone in years | 03:53 |
| waltman | You can never have too many modems or house phones | 03:53 |
| ChinnoDog | .. in 1990. lol | 03:53 |
| ChinnoDog | One of these modems I purchased for $12 with the intention of connecting it to an asterisk box | 03:54 |
| ChinnoDog | I have 5 of them. Two of them are ISA | 03:57 |
| ChinnoDog | I have enough to start my own BBS. | 03:57 |
| ChinnoDog | oops, one is an ISA network card. I still have enough for a BBS. | 03:58 |
| pleia2 | you should talk to bts3685|vps, he wants to run a BBS | 03:58 |
| ChinnoDog | lol | 03:58 |
| ChinnoDog | bts3685|vps: I haz 4 modems for your BBS | 03:58 |
| bts3685|vps | ChinnoDog: ORLY?? i was gonna run a bbs over ethernet, but oh MAN. | 03:58 |
| bts3685|vps | wouldn't be very accesible though. | 03:58 |
| ChinnoDog | They are /real/ modems too, not winmodems | 03:59 |
| bts3685|vps | not a lot of copper lines these days, and dial-in doesn't work over fiber/digital signal | 03:59 |
| ChinnoDog | It won't? Everyone gets free long distance nowadays, right? | 03:59 |
| bts3685|vps | ^ | 03:59 |
| bts3685|vps | we'd have to start our own copper line provider service. hahaha | 04:00 |
| ChinnoDog | You can still get local loop.. | 04:00 |
| ChinnoDog | lol | 04:00 |
| bts3685|vps | SO I CAN BBS WITH MYSELF ALL DAY LONG? | 04:00 |
| bts3685|vps | JOY! | 04:00 |
| pleia2 | oh go bbs yourself | 04:00 |
| bts3685|vps | nah, there are, i belive, telnet-in bbses that work over ethernet | 04:00 |
| ChinnoDog | Yes, but no one uses them anymore. IRC was designed as the replacement for t-con and a lot of people don't even do that anymore. :-) | 04:01 |
| bts3685|vps | http://www.synchro.net/ for instance | 04:01 |
| PennBot | Title: Synchronet BBS Software (at www.synchro.net) | 04:01 |
| bts3685|vps | LLEVINS WOULD USE IT | 04:01 |
| bts3685|vps | and jedijf | 04:01 |
| ChinnoDog | Some of the BBSs eventualy started providing graphical clients that did less than a modern web page could do. | 04:02 |
| ChinnoDog | Though, they did work over a 14.4k modem at reasonable speed | 04:02 |
| bts3685|vps | synchro has some gui clients available even i think. :) | 04:02 |
| bts3685|vps | http://wiki.synchro.net/resource:term looks like they're actually all just ssh/telnet graphical clients :) | 04:03 |
| PennBot | Title: Synchronet Terminal Programs (at wiki.synchro.net) | 04:03 |
| bts3685|vps | oh, and zmodem | 04:04 |
| ChinnoDog | zmodem came along late in the game | 04:04 |
| bts3685|vps | oldschool_shit++ | 04:04 |
| bts3685|vps | and ssh even later :P | 04:04 |
| pleia2 | we were still running an inn2 server for one of our clients until last year | 04:04 |
| ChinnoDog | kermit was 7-bit and people kept hacking off the first bit of every byte in their binary download | 04:04 |
| ChinnoDog | xmodem was the first widely used binary download protocol I think | 04:04 |
| ChinnoDog | ymodem came after that but few terminals supported it | 04:05 |
| ChinnoDog | zmodem came in at the beginning of the internet area. It was only slightly faster than xmodem. | 04:05 |
| ChinnoDog | s/area/era | 04:05 |
| * ChinnoDog throws them all in the trash | 04:08 | |
| * ChinnoDog sighs | 04:08 | |
| pleia2 | if you're feeling adventurous you could see if free geek penn wants it | 04:08 |
| bts3685|vps | you could still make a local intercom system with asterisk as long as they aren't winmodems | 04:09 |
| pleia2 | they still have a lot of dial up clients last I knew | 04:09 |
| ChinnoDog | Even though that may be true, I seriously doubt they have a shortage of modems | 04:09 |
| ChinnoDog | no, I think I'll be kind and keep my trash to myself | 04:10 |
| bts3685|vps | ChinnoDog: you should build a hackerspace and make a PTSN network! | 04:10 |
| bts3685|vps | confuse the skiddies ;) | 04:10 |
| pleia2 | ChinnoDog: they said they couldn't use linux because all they have is winmodems, not enough regular modems | 04:11 |
| bts3685|vps | "WTF, WHAT IS THIS IPX NONSENSE?" | 04:11 |
| bts3685|vps | oohhh | 04:11 |
| ChinnoDog | ooh | 04:11 |
| pleia2 | you could just call and offer them, worst they can say is "no, we don't want that junk" :) | 04:11 |
| ChinnoDog | I need to save the modems for linux peeps? | 04:11 |
| pleia2 | they probably still won't switch to linux, but they did express the need when I was there a couple years ago | 04:11 |
| bts3685|vps | oh, also, http://linmodems.org/ | 04:12 |
| PennBot | Title: linmodems.org (at linmodems.org) | 04:12 |
| bts3685|vps | i guess you CAN use winmodems in linux these days. huh. | 04:12 |
| pleia2 | neat | 04:12 |
| bts3685|vps | IT'S ONLY A DECADE TOO LATE LOLZ. | 04:12 |
| ChinnoDog | lol | 04:12 |
| ChinnoDog | Two of my modems are identical. I wonder how that happened. | 04:13 |
| bts3685|vps | no but seriously. start a hackerspace and use those modems. :) REUSE OLD HARDWARE! | 04:14 |
| ChinnoDog | that is crazy bts. No one is going to use that | 04:14 |
| ChinnoDog | You want them, come and get them | 04:14 |
| bts3685|vps | i am in louisiana! | 04:14 |
| bts3685|vps | also i has no spare box | 04:14 |
| pleia2 | maybe one of them is broken | 04:14 |
| ChinnoDog | If it was broken I would have chucked it. I only save broken power supplies, and those are going in the trash too | 04:15 |
| bts3685|vps | OH! a lot of security door systems (keypads, etc.) still use copper rj-11 lines | 04:16 |
| bts3685|vps | since it's a P-t-P line to the door access control node, it's a lot more secure. unless you rip the panel off and hook up a tone generator of some sort, like matthew broderick in Wargames did | 04:17 |
| pleia2 | why do you save broken power supplies? | 04:18 |
| bts3685|vps | he probably removes the good capacitators, transistors, etc. | 04:18 |
| bts3685|vps | usually when a PSU blows, it's only one or two that go | 04:18 |
| ChinnoDog | Only in theory, bts. What I usually end up doing is hacking off the power supply connectors and soldering together splitters and extensions when I am too lazy/cheap to buy them. | 04:19 |
| ChinnoDog | In practice it is too much work to pry off the bad parts. If I realy wanted them I would just go to radio shack. | 04:19 |
| bts3685|vps | i thought maybe you did it for ecological ethic reasons :( | 04:20 |
| ChinnoDog | lol | 04:20 |
| ChinnoDog | being_green-- | 04:20 |
| bts3685|vps | throwing_out_reusable_stuff-- | 04:21 |
| pleia2 | being_purple++ | 04:21 |
| bts3685|vps | but then again, i'm also a cheap-ass. i'd rather spend time than money. hehe | 04:21 |
| ChinnoDog | pleia2: is that the opposite of being green? If it isn't we need a good word for not being green. | 04:23 |
| pleia2 | evil, probably | 04:23 |
| bts3685|vps | aww. pleia2 beat me to it. :( | 04:23 |
| ChinnoDog | I want to counter that but I fear it would only lead to a senseless debate about global warming which I don't care to have | 04:24 |
| ChinnoDog | So, evil ti is. | 04:24 |
| ChinnoDog | it | 04:24 |
| bts3685|vps | guys | 04:45 |
| bts3685|vps | on 2012.03.14 | 04:45 |
| bts3685|vps | remind me to buy ninjit.su | 04:45 |
| bts3685|vps | OH | 04:46 |
| bts3685|vps | OH WAIT | 04:46 |
| bts3685|vps | 04.19 | 04:46 |
| bts3685|vps | I CAN BUY JIT.SU | 04:46 |
| bts3685|vps | nin.jit.su++ | 04:46 |
| bts3685|vps | hmmm.. jyt.su is available... | 04:53 |
| bts3685|vps | aaaand now it isn't. ;) | 04:58 |
