You're right. I make videos on youtube yelling at people but using science and reason, but I know that being calm and Garfield-eyelided doesn't do CRAP, so I'm constantly throwing in personal insults.

Not for effect. Not to be gratuitous - but because I genuinely cannot stand misinformation spreaders who have the same internet as me but they prefer to get things wrong and stick with it.

Some people insist that those lights in the sky are not jupiter and instead are drones following them. Mr. Rogers isn't going to cure these broken brains.

A guy going to Disneyland alone - 2995 times. No, not creepy.

Who cares about stupid internet points dude? Fuck reddit and fuck every website. I want the 90s back god damnit. I want no begging. I want no dollar signs. I want awesome internet.

I don't know anything about node.js or websockets but I actually set them up and used them in Jitsi Meet's version of the Excalidraw Backend for its recent whiteboard implementation.

Here's me looking at the websocket traffic (I think): https://youtu.be/4rlffwHUchk?t=1857

I might not fully understand the technicals of it but I got it up and running and use it almost every day! :D Maybe I'll someday understand it.

In the 90s and early 2000s, people, even from other countries, typed it correctly on the internet. I have the EFnet IRC logs right now on my hard drive if you need proof. Hell I'm tempted to make a youtube video just to prove my point.

Oh really? Then why don't we say QUESTION MARK or PERIOD verbally for each sentence of you think the $ literally means "dollars?"

I think it's funny. It reminds me of a paragraph in Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" book in chapter six:

There are far-reaching, visionary, and even revolutionary implications to the space program. Communications satellites link up the planet, are central to the global economy, and, through television, routinely convey the essential fact that We live in a global community. Meteorological satellites predict the weather, save lives in hurricanes and tornados, and avoid many billions of dollars in crop losses every year.

Military-reconnaissance and treaty-verification satellites make nations and the global civilization more secure; in a world with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, they calm the hotheads and paranoids on all sides; they are essential tools for survival on a troubled and unpredictable planet.

I say again: Jitsi Meet (Open source, self-hosted) has voice/video E2EE (it has text, but is not yet encrypted).

No login. No password. No app. All WebRTC. Chrome required since Firefox does not yet seem to support encryption over WebRTC (I think).

I set it up from scratch with Debian Linux and Virtualbox in about 30 minutes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rlffwHUchk

Once you go FLAC you never go back.™

Hi I said voice. Why haven't you added and called yet?

Oh, a conspiracy theorist keyboard warrior who can't orally defend the BULLCRAP they spew on the internet in real-time voice chat.

Funny how that works.

PROVE you're a real human and not a conspiracy theory astroturfer.

Discord: Painbow#9553. Give me a call in 3 hours from now.

Have you read Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World book from 1996? Because this kind of crap always turns out to be garbage. We live on a rock circling a star.

The only thing that makes the world more interesting than it really is is our brains that love to make crap up. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.™

Are you nuts? Yeah I want 10,000 icons on my desktop rather than just one browser.

Man this generation blows. No wonder you're fine with 10 different game publisher clients, 10 different movie publisher clients, and 500 different "apps" to access websites. Keep recording vertically dude. (GEEZUS)

My sponsorblock for youtube has like the last 2 minutes of that video cut out. What, does he beg for that fucking long? I can't stand youtubers like this.

In fact, I block all channels that have a verified icon next to their name from my search results. I never want to see any of those ebegging losers.

Sorry. I'm not blaming you - I'm blaming our tolerance for ebegging losers on the internet. It's now normal and accepted to ruin videos with watermarks, VPN ads, begging, and showing your stupid face in every single frame of the video.

No.

Notes

Also named cellular phone, cell phone, cellphone, handphone, hand phone or pocket phone, sometimes shortened to simply mobile, cell, or just phone.

It's not an app it's a website.

What's with these cell phone people calling everything APPS? Hi. They're WEBSITES. Just because you might use a stupid cell phone app to access the stupid website doesn't mean it's no longer a website.

Use the right words and stop recording video vertically. I hate all of you cell phone people.

You can right click your back button in your browser and a list will appear of recent history.

This is what I do when stupid, horny websites just refresh the current, stupid website rather than actually going back to where I was.

I took this screenshot sometime in 1999 of the CS Beta: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/897901358999548004/10...

I took this famous screenshot that was subsequently used in several advertisements for the game: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/672345936449634304/77...

Here's one of them advertising a "personal server" on Planethardware: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/672345936449634304/77...

I also found my screen used in an alienware ad, an Xbox magazine talking about Counterstrike, and Gamespy ads. It was wild.

I really like Jitsi Meet. In about 30 minutes I went from nothing to a fully working Jitsi Meet server and a fully working Excalidraw whiteboard! Now I use Jitsi Meet all the time for quick discussions with random people about all sorts of topics of interest to me.

Granted it took me months to get to this point being new to Linux and not knowing anything about Prosody, Jibri, or even what a repository is. :D

Not sure why - just saw this message. Never used the site before but looks like a place people dropped a lot of mp3s?

There's the ddos bullcrap excuse.

These last two generations are SO eager to spend money for stupid crap.

Pay your ISP and put your wallet away. That's the call to action on the internet.

That's why you never use last pass and instead use something local on YOUR drives like Keepass.info.

This is what you get for using services and not doing things yourself. Local, local, local.

bucks out teeth

I bet it's still fast enough for whatever you want to do. Don't even bullcrap me because I WILL get you in voice and have you share your screen and prove you need to pay for stupid hosting.

I'm not afraid. If it ever came to that, all you'd have to do is call up next day, same address, using your girlfriend's name and sign up for new service. Bet me.

I haven't read the "terms of service" in years, but this was never a thing I'm familiar with. It was known that if you pay for internet, you can do whatever you want with it (well, short of violating federal law).

Why do you think routers have PORT FORWARDING in them? Is that just for fun? Think about it. I can go to ebay and buy Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 from 1996 and run whatever DNS or IIS server I want, however outdated it is.

It's absolutely absurd to think you have to pay to host things even though you have all the equipment and bandwidth to do it yourself. I only have 1000/42Mbps but I've got a friend who just got fiber in CA who has 10Gbit both ways. With speeds like that, do you think we're just going to upload Linux ISOs AND not RUN servers on all sixty five thousand ports?

Ha ha ha haooowww

After being online since 1995, I'm sick of every goddamned website on the internet getting in my face and bothering me about shit.

I want STATIC websites that don't dynamically fucking change - especially if you're connecting from a different location or device. I want STATIC and SAME god damnit.

Man, you are way too afraid dude.

It's YOUR internet connection. Who's going to ban you for opening ports and running a server? I've been doing it with comcast for 20+ years.

Maybe not all my server traffic goes through port 80 or 443, but my server is also my torrent seedbox which is high traffic and just another port. WHATEVER.

My server is just a Windows 7 PC in the living room with no monitor, no keyboard, and no mouse. Only connected power and ethernet. I remotely control it with RealVNC and it's extremely stable. The only time it goes down is a power outage because I don't use a UPS.

I use it for a website (nginx/let's encrypt), Jitsi Meet, Mumble, Ventrilo, FTP, proxy (8080), and of course torrents. Not afraid of port scans.

I use a couple of DDNS domains that I give people but I can disable the public one I give to people and change my IP any time I want.

NOT VPN. NOT Cloud. NOT VPS. NOT pay monthly to someone. You can do it all yourself for free and have been able to for decades. Quit being so scared, cell phone generation.

When I hear about FBI trying to get people banned on some stupid website named twitter, all I can think about is this:

https://i.imgur.com/p7Nrm4R.png

no sim signup? What in the fuck is that? Don't you see the way the internet is going lately?

Do you need to give a phone number or even email address to get on IRC? No. What about Ventrilo, Mumble, or Teamspeak? No. What about Skype? Yeah. Email.

Email is about as far as I go. If they want more than that (phone number etc) they can fuck off. How is that out of the ordinary? Because I'm not a cell phone newbie to the internet? I've been here for a long time and the personal information demands from all these piece of shit "services" are egregious when we have open source and self-hostable options that STILL WORK.

Thumbing through myself, I don't know why any self-respecting gamer would read past issue 114 - November 1998. That's the last issue I would look at because that's around the time Nintendo starting blowing. Pokemon? Come on. No. Just no. Ocarina of Time was the last Nintendo game I'd be proud of owning.
