[00:00] ChinnoDog: i just tried it on an ubu vm. [00:00] as long as you pass it to sudo, no warnings. [00:00] 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] also, a totally hosed filesystem [00:01] hosed / filesystem at least. you're a little safe if you have /home etc. on diff. partitions [00:02] Or you didn't ignore world backup day [00:02] true [00:03] but either way it requires a baremetal os reinstall. [03:51] I have a lot of modems [03:53] I haven't even used a house phone in years [03:53] You can never have too many modems or house phones [03:53] .. in 1990. lol [03:54] One of these modems I purchased for $12 with the intention of connecting it to an asterisk box [03:57] I have 5 of them. Two of them are ISA [03:57] I have enough to start my own BBS. [03:58] oops, one is an ISA network card. I still have enough for a BBS. [03:58] you should talk to bts3685|vps, he wants to run a BBS [03:58] lol [03:58] bts3685|vps: I haz 4 modems for your BBS [03:58] ChinnoDog: ORLY?? i was gonna run a bbs over ethernet, but oh MAN. [03:58] wouldn't be very accesible though. [03:59] They are /real/ modems too, not winmodems [03:59] not a lot of copper lines these days, and dial-in doesn't work over fiber/digital signal [03:59] It won't? Everyone gets free long distance nowadays, right? [03:59] ^ [04:00] we'd have to start our own copper line provider service. hahaha [04:00] You can still get local loop.. [04:00] lol [04:00] SO I CAN BBS WITH MYSELF ALL DAY LONG? [04:00] JOY! [04:00] oh go bbs yourself [04:00] nah, there are, i belive, telnet-in bbses that work over ethernet [04:01] 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] http://www.synchro.net/ for instance [04:01] Title: Synchronet BBS Software (at www.synchro.net) [04:01] LLEVINS WOULD USE IT [04:01] and jedijf [04:02] Some of the BBSs eventualy started providing graphical clients that did less than a modern web page could do. [04:02] Though, they did work over a 14.4k modem at reasonable speed [04:02] synchro has some gui clients available even i think. :) [04:03] http://wiki.synchro.net/resource:term looks like they're actually all just ssh/telnet graphical clients :) [04:03] Title: Synchronet Terminal Programs (at wiki.synchro.net) [04:04] oh, and zmodem [04:04] zmodem came along late in the game [04:04] oldschool_shit++ [04:04] and ssh even later :P [04:04] we were still running an inn2 server for one of our clients until last year [04:04] kermit was 7-bit and people kept hacking off the first bit of every byte in their binary download [04:04] xmodem was the first widely used binary download protocol I think [04:05] ymodem came after that but few terminals supported it [04:05] zmodem came in at the beginning of the internet area. It was only slightly faster than xmodem. [04:05] s/area/era [04:08] * ChinnoDog throws them all in the trash [04:08] * ChinnoDog sighs [04:08] if you're feeling adventurous you could see if free geek penn wants it [04:09] you could still make a local intercom system with asterisk as long as they aren't winmodems [04:09] they still have a lot of dial up clients last I knew [04:09] Even though that may be true, I seriously doubt they have a shortage of modems [04:10] no, I think I'll be kind and keep my trash to myself [04:10] ChinnoDog: you should build a hackerspace and make a PTSN network! [04:10] confuse the skiddies ;) [04:11] ChinnoDog: they said they couldn't use linux because all they have is winmodems, not enough regular modems [04:11] "WTF, WHAT IS THIS IPX NONSENSE?" [04:11] oohhh [04:11] ooh [04:11] you could just call and offer them, worst they can say is "no, we don't want that junk" :) [04:11] I need to save the modems for linux peeps? [04:11] they probably still won't switch to linux, but they did express the need when I was there a couple years ago [04:12] oh, also, http://linmodems.org/ [04:12] Title: linmodems.org (at linmodems.org) [04:12] i guess you CAN use winmodems in linux these days. huh. [04:12] neat [04:12] IT'S ONLY A DECADE TOO LATE LOLZ. [04:12] lol [04:13] Two of my modems are identical. I wonder how that happened. [04:14] no but seriously. start a hackerspace and use those modems. :) REUSE OLD HARDWARE! [04:14] that is crazy bts. No one is going to use that [04:14] You want them, come and get them [04:14] i am in louisiana! [04:14] also i has no spare box [04:14] maybe one of them is broken [04:15] If it was broken I would have chucked it. I only save broken power supplies, and those are going in the trash too [04:16] OH! a lot of security door systems (keypads, etc.) still use copper rj-11 lines [04:17] 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 [04:18] why do you save broken power supplies? [04:18] he probably removes the good capacitators, transistors, etc. [04:18] usually when a PSU blows, it's only one or two that go [04:19] 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] 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. [04:20] i thought maybe you did it for ecological ethic reasons :( [04:20] lol [04:20] being_green-- [04:21] throwing_out_reusable_stuff-- [04:21] being_purple++ [04:21] but then again, i'm also a cheap-ass. i'd rather spend time than money. hehe [04:23] pleia2: is that the opposite of being green? If it isn't we need a good word for not being green. [04:23] evil, probably [04:23] aww. pleia2 beat me to it. :( [04:24] 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] So, evil ti is. [04:24] it [04:45] guys [04:45] on 2012.03.14 [04:45] remind me to buy ninjit.su [04:46] OH [04:46] OH WAIT [04:46] 04.19 [04:46] I CAN BUY JIT.SU [04:46] nin.jit.su++ [04:53] hmmm.. jyt.su is available... [04:58] aaaand now it isn't. ;) [04:58] nyn.jyt.su++ [04:59] ju.jyt.su++ [08:44] @later SamuraiAlba "Did you check out this site on NEW bacon technology ? http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/readwriteweb_announces_major_investment.php" [08:44] I don't have a clue!
