Does your site use mTCP ?

You went to a great school!

Congrats for your accomplishment

Plus they run an public IRC server on EFNET IIRC

It is illegal to prohibit oneself from harming oneself.

This is why drug use will be allowed sooner or later. It has been prohibited and it is inconstitutional.

Unfortunately, many people have been arrested for harming themselfs only and not harming others.

If drugged person hurts someone else, then that is a crime. But using any type of substance to hurt oneself is not a crime.

All the bans will eventually be unbanned.

Its inconstitutional.

Lots of people have died in car accidents. Many people have died because of knifes. Many people have died because went to the wrong place where wild animals were hungry.

What is the solution in this case ? All the situations here are riskier.

Many people die after they wake up and leave their room. So its risky to leave their room.

You are not a genius.

long term implications of a living human being is death. the live human being will create pollution, will kill a couple of ants, might become a murder, a liar. Life is risky.

Its important and its a fact that more and more people are aware of how important privacy is.

There are disadvantages on "Free" email services. Any service that is free will not care about free users. When the user needs assistance, good luck.

If you dont have your own domain yet, it is never too late. Make sure to use email@YOUR-DOMAIN.com. If the domain is yours, you are able to change email server and take your domain with you.

Runbox is a great service. There are other rivals very good as well.

My friends and i, are the other 4 people experienced in thing. We have been also experimenting with flopnax the ropjar and experimental rilkef. We experimented tool in diferent conditions and used diferent thing to run the test and generate the complete final detailed report about stuff.

The details look very much the same in every diferent condition. Very similar with your results. To our surprise the management intervened to escalate the issue to superiors. At some point, thing reached the CEO of company.

The CEO hired 2 new teams to research in parallel to discover why flopnax the ropjar is femtoseconds slower than experimental rlkef. Now each team does thing difrent ways. We use diferent tool to do thing.

Let me know about your progress on subject. We can thing together, share tool and results.

Good luck friend!

If you have the tools for it, theorically everything is visible from space.

care to explain how to download from ISS via radio ?

FreeBSD is great! Even as a desktop. NVIDIA builds official drivers for FreeBSD. I dont know whats the status for newer AMD graphics card. Nvidia + Intel graphics also works very well.

There is a port system where users can build the packages from sourcecode on their own machines. Its +- like gentoo.

There is also a binary pkg system. It is faster to install since the packages are already built (binary).

To upgrade from minor versions ie. 11.1 to 11.2 it is very simple and well documented. Just see in the manual freebsd-update

There is native support for ZFS also which is great.

Virtualbox works very well, so its possible to install other OSes in virtualbox. VMware i dont think is supported.

Best method to achieve that is one of 2 options:

  perlbrew
  local::lib

Or, specify it when executing the module, ie:

  bash$ perl -I../project_modules/Module1/lib -I../project_modules/Module2/lib your_project.pl

Or, specify it at the top of your_project.pl ie:

  use lib '../project_modules/Module1/lib';

  use lib '../project_modules/Module2/lib';

Or, set enviroment var

  export PERL5LIB=/home/project_modules/ ; perl your_project.pl

Or, make a BEGIN statement on top of your main project, ie:

  BEGIN {
    push @INC, glob "/home/project_modules/*/lib";
  }

You dont need to use anything global, and its better you dont. Never execute anything as root. You are able to execute local modules just like node, rvm, etc. Its all the same.

Some linux installs come with perl/python installed. It is used by the system and is refered to as "system perl" or "system python" or "system ruby", etc.. and it is not recommended to make upgrade on those "system XXX". Only your system should upgrade the libraries it uses. That is why you should always use a local perl/python/ruby install.

If you didnt like it, its good you moved on.

Perl5 is a great language. For internet and system related tasks it is great! It was created long time ago and evolved over the years.

One thing is true, it had a lot of advantage over other languages for a lot of years. However, now in 2018, other languages have also evolved and gained a lot of traction. One example is javascript/node which is now being used more and more. For a lot of time, a lot of frontend focused developers didnt really want to try backend development... specially because backend development was usually done in another language which was not javascript. So some never really attempted to do backend development. However when node was released, that opened a lot of new opportunities for the front end developers.

There are a lot of languages these days and many of them are capable enough to do many types of projects.

The important thing is, some languages have a bigger concentration of more capable engineers. One of these languages is perl. The perl programmers are excelent. They have real close experience with the kernel and systems and usually have great experience in complex backend tasks. Many are not as great with front end development. Some are.

Some projects can be done and deployed by 1 single perl developer. The same project if done in java for example might require more than 1 java developer.

The microsoft language creates a bubble and their developers sometimes dont know universal technical terms, they only know the microsoftish terms. Ie. they might not know what a "web server" is, but they know what "IIS" is. They might now know what a "hash" is, but they know what a "dictionary" is. Perl developers use universal terms.

Amazingly, javascript, especially ES6 is looking more and more like perl. Those that know both will agree sometimes it reminds of perl.

There are many projects people dont know about that use perl behind the scenes. But of course there are not as many perl programmers as there are in other languages and thats one reason you dont hear much about these projects.

Companies embrace more and more the modern perl development. Java, microsoft, node, python, ruby, etc are more popular of course. Specially because a lot of banks use java and they push java via universities. In the past I have seen labs with SUN machines on universities that teach Java. Microsoft also gives students free software licenses via universities. Thats another reason Microsoft and Java are very popular.

Maybe tierra.net was one of those customers

Nowadays i recommend runbox.com.

The services are good and when needed support is also good. Clients have given good feedback.

In the past i have recommended protonmail and fastmail.

It is important to pay for email services and support the diversity of email companies.

Paid services tend to have good support and care for their users.

Users of free email service that hit a problem (ie. password lost), are essentially screwed. The free email service (gmail/yahoo/outlook) will not give proper "manual" support to solve that problem. They are so big and this fact essentially makes the users of free email services just another user (worth nothing). The big brands that provide free services will not care about your problem when you go in trouble.

Users that only have free email services, should really consider testing paid email services. And slowly move all their emails into a paid email service. But dont forget, it is very important to use purchase your-domain.com and use that in signups. Never use your-user@gmail/yahoo/hotmail/outlook.com to signup. Because when the user uses @gmail/yahoo/etc they get locked in and it gets hard to move out of the free email services after a while (because all the friends, family and websites will only know your free services email).

Another important point to note is, the only secure encryption is end-to-end encryption that the user has control of. For example openpgp. Users that care so much about encryption should rely on openpgp. If encryption is so important, dont belive the servers and use openpgp. No matter what, when the email is sent, its sent in plain text. So openpgp is the only way to send it in plaintext encrypted.

Paid services will care more about the user than free services.

Start with one of these:

runbox.com fastmail.com hushmail.com protonmail.com tutanota.com lavabit.com mailfence.com posteo.com

and ditch:

gmail.com yahoo.com hotmail.com outlook.com

Spread the word to make your friends and family aware and also make the move to paid email services.

And never forget to purchase a domain and use that to receive email. That is the only way to not get locked in the email service provider.

I like wires. Every time i can, i choose to use a wire. Be it for internet or headphones.

The reason for my wired preference is security. I trust cables more than i trust wireless.

Bluetooth is insecure. I dont think it is secure to walk around in a mall with your bluetooth turned on. (correct me if i am wrong)

Wifi WPA2 is probably secure. However wifi WEP is completely insecure. For many years WEP has been widely used. Another problem with wifi are fake networks that use the same name as a public network.

Another interesting fact with wired headphones is they wont fall down directly on the floor, because of the wires. The same goes with the computer mouse.. sometimes it moves to the edge of the table and might want to fall.. the wire will hold it.

Wireless keyboards is definitively a no go since teorically its possible to passively listen for pressed keys just like a keylogger.

Wireless technology sure looks better without all the wires, however when people choose convenience(wireless), they lose some security.

So when i can, i choose wires.

Back in the days software developers didnt announce this sort of thing and called it "easter eggs".

According to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_(media) :

> "In computer software and media, an Easter egg is an intentional inside joke, hidden message or image, or secret feature of a work. It is usually found in a computer program, video game, or DVD/Blu-ray Disc menu screen. The name is used to evoke the idea of a traditional Easter egg hunt.[2] The term was coined to describe a hidden message in the Atari video game Adventure that encouraged the player to find further hidden messages in later games, leading them on a 'hunt'.[3]"

> In March, Insys launched a multinational study of 190 children to evaluate cannabidiol as a first-line therapy for infantile spasms. We are eager to see how well the compound performs when given in the first days and weeks of the condition. If it turns out to be effective, cannabidiol would represent a substantial improvement over current drugs, all of which have serious side effects: One, for example, causes irreversible vision loss in as many as one-third of the children who take it.

Its ok to sell: "a drug that causes irreversible vision loss in as many as one-third of the children who take it"

Its against the law: canabidiol from a plant, or even grow the plant yourself

One common thought under the influence of MDMA is:

The world could end now. Everything is perfectly fine.

I prefer perl, but thanks for python!

Diversity is good always :)

third richest person... "officially"

there are so many much more richer persons/families not taken into consideration by forbes. russians, chinese, indians, non americans. People that have money spread across borders..

there is no such thing as the officially "Worlds third richest person"... some are "unkown (by forbes)" trillionaires that are not accounted because there are no official records

Would Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com) suffer directly since it exists out of content generated by users (Article 13) ? And it links to other websites. (Article 11) ?

Who is behind the recent changes on the internet ?

Months ago Agit Pai(FCC) ended net neutrality.

Month ago, may 25th, GDPR initiated (except this benefits the individual).

Now there is a push for laws that defeat the basics of the internet, the hyperlink:

Article 11: requires online platforms to pay publishers a fee if they link to their news content.

Article 13: requiring websites to enforce copyright, even on content uploaded by users.

There is a bigger force behind those recent major changes that can break the internet as we know. But who ?

Support over IRC is historical in open source.

irc.perl.org -- perl language support and development

irc.mozilla.org -- mozila related support and development

irc.freenode.net has many support channels:

#mysql

#postgresql

#vim

#emacs

#nodejs

#css

#javascript

#python

#manjaro -- manjaro linux distro

#archlinux -- arch linux distro

#freebsd

#linux

#vuejs -- horrible support (frontend channel)

#angularjs -- horrible support (frontend channel)

#elasticsearch

#sqlite

#xen

#docker

#git

and the list goes on. many great people there :)

Long live IRC

There will always be new platforms like slack, discord, gitter, and whatever. IRC was and still is great.

IRC is simple, its text, its stable. Its simple to program on and a lot can be done above it.

IRC is open.

The basis of old internet protocols are simple, open and powerful

Email, IRC, HTML, FTP

And as the article points out, irc has no face. IRC was a time people had to ask for a picture. Different from the newer trendier platforms. Back then people used to engage a lot more before they became curios to put a face on a nickname.

The internet has been inundated with the "average" people who unfortunately are not interested in "aplications" like mIRC/irssi/bitchX. Looks like average people need apps that are simpler to use than IRC, apps that allow them to promote their profile to the next level, have followers and likes statistic. Which is alright, in the end they are just the average people that wont put effort to learn nonclickable platforms like IRC.

The web really exploded when the smartphone came and apps like facebook came also and made the average people go online and understand what internet was for. There was a time when only the nerds understood what internet really was. Nowadays the internet guy is not a "nerd" anymore. Nerd is not perjorative as it once was.

IRC is still open, IRC is still kicking.

If you are on IRC, dont let the shiny and newer take you out from IRC.

Long live IRC

F A N T A S T I C !

cpan.org is great! it will be missed!

a couple days ago searching for some tool, i wanted to check some source at npmjs and to my surprise npmjs does not have a "download any-module.tar.gz" and neither has an option to "view the source" code like old cpan does.

i went to #nodejs to ask for help and guys there told me to install "npm" to download the source from npmjs module i wanted to see. NOOOO... i dont want to install npm, i just want to see how it was done. Cant i just click "download source" at the npm page ? NO. Cant i just click "view source" at the npm page ? NO. Just install npm and install the module so you can see the code... COME ON....

cpan.org so old and still so up-to-date!

perl so old and still so up-to-date!

"That’s almost two months start to finish! And today that job remains on the company’s web site – they still haven’t hired anyone."

That probably shows HR is just "working" and doing interviews. Not necessarily to hire anyone.. they might just be gathering data. Maybe harvesting the people available on the market. Checking if you are up to doing homework and not getting paid. Checking what your salary is. Telling you make some ranking challenges. Building a profile about you.

Your profile might get a price-tag and shared on the HR black market. I suspect there are even black lists by segment shared on some HR black markets.

Then, there is also a big mafia/network that makes people only hire friends, recommended or known persons.

still doesnt show who visits your profile.
