| 2026-06-20 20:17 | Garnin | thx! |
| 2026-06-20 20:17 | Anything | gratz garnin. |
| 2026-06-20 19:41 | Reptile | some of those jobs were so mind numbingly boring, that you kinda got excited when stuff broke, b/c you got to troubleshoot |
| 2026-06-20 19:39 | Reptile | dot matrix printers: I worked for a medical billing company in the mid-90s, and we used to print statements for doc offices - using.. dot matrix printers. we had to align the templates exactly - if the feed got messed up just a little bit, then the address wouldn't appear in the clear window for the envelope, and you'd have to restart that run where it messed up. |
| 2026-06-20 19:36 | Reptile | oh it's atlanta, $50 is basically parking. |
| 2026-06-20 19:36 | Nartaka | You should probably spend a little more on the date ;) |
| 2026-06-20 19:36 | Reptile | I'll prob only get like $50-75 from those parts, but I mean.. it's currently just collecting dust - if someone can use it to keep their technical debt alive, and I can make enough for a dinner date w/ the wife - then why not? |
| 2026-06-20 19:35 | Anything | dad ran the university library and was 10 or so heavy duty printers for students to print on. |
| 2026-06-20 19:35 | Anything | theres a sound embedded in my brain from the old dot matrix |
| 2026-06-20 19:34 | Reptile | there's some old hw out there that are still in use that folks find it's easier to replace than recode their workflows for new hw. I found an old ultra wide scsi controller and cheetah scsi drive that I Was gonna put on the market, there's still old manufacturing and stuff like that - that's using old stuff. |
| 2026-06-20 19:32 | Tiny | bubble jet |
| 2026-06-20 19:31 | Boneitis | Recently tossed a laser printer that had been in storage for about 9 years. Figured I wasn't going to suddenly need it. |
| 2026-06-20 19:31 | Boneitis | I have been trying to clear out old basically useless computer parts. |
| 2026-06-20 19:30 | Boneitis | Hah, nice. :) |
| 2026-06-20 19:29 | Reptile | back when 512mb was a Big Deal (tm) |
| 2026-06-20 19:28 | Reptile | oh, it's a Intel Mobile Pentium III 800MHz, and I found a 512MB Kit PC133 SDRAM - I guess it came from a laptop I had. |
| 2026-06-20 19:27 | Tiny | tandy days oh yea |
| 2026-06-20 19:26 | Reptile | oh man.. 486. I found an old cpu in my box of parts a few months ago. I used to hvae a spare 386dx, not sure what happened to it. also found a 56k modem and an ISDN router. |
| 2026-06-20 19:24 | Delyrium | are we caring about people now? |
| 2026-06-20 19:23 | Boneitis | Eh, delaying real life isn't necessarily a bad option. |
| 2026-06-20 19:23 | Delyrium | ok you guys are freaking me out |
| 2026-06-20 19:23 | Reptile | well yeah. hah. I mean, there's also a reason I was on the 6 year college plan instead of the typical 4.. I blame muds and my lack of motivation. |
| 2026-06-20 19:22 | Boneitis | You probably showered before you saw her (mostly) |
| 2026-06-20 19:22 | Reptile | ikr?! I had a gf at the time, and I'm not sure why she even put up with me. |
| 2026-06-20 19:22 | Boneitis | The stereotypes exist for a reason :) |
| 2026-06-20 19:21 | Delyrium | lol nice |
| 2026-06-20 19:21 | Reptile | WAY too many nights, we'd basically stay there all night, no even shower - boxes of pizzas around us, and then just stumble to our first class. |
| 2026-06-20 19:21 | Boneitis | *nod nod* |
| 2026-06-20 19:21 | Reptile | from home, I would remote into the uni via a terminal program (terminate), log into the sparc, and then mud. but more often we were at uni, and would just snag an empty lab, and 4-5 of us would mud side by side from the telnet terminals. basically using the uni internet backbone to mud. |
| 2026-06-20 19:20 | Delyrium | good times |
| 2026-06-20 19:20 | Delyrium | good time |
| 2026-06-20 19:20 | Delyrium | lol nice rep |
| 2026-06-20 19:19 | Reptile | my 1st mud client was tintin running on the university sparc station that all compsci students had access to. I knew one of the admins for uni, and he had compiled tintin and dropped the binary in my homedir. |
| 2026-06-20 19:19 | Boneitis | So learned TF, and that was that. |
| 2026-06-20 19:19 | Boneitis | I started w/ zMUD on my Pentium 133 running Windows 95, but then acquired a 486 running Linux to put in my bedroom during high school. |
| 2026-06-20 19:18 | Delyrium | then when mac os went unix shifted to tintin |
| 2026-06-20 19:18 | Delyrium | i started with som e old mac only ones that arent around any more |
| 2026-06-20 19:17 | Reptile | yeah. I used to use mcl client, which had a python and perl interp built in, but it's a dead project now. I used that client on toril for probably 15+ years. So then I went back to tintint as it was my very 1st client when I started mudding back in the 20th century. |
| 2026-06-20 19:16 | Delyrium | tintin is like neo kinda hacker type muf |
| 2026-06-20 19:16 | Boneitis | and gmcp :) |
| 2026-06-20 19:15 | Boneitis | TF w/ built-in Python is very slick. |
| 2026-06-20 19:15 | Reptile | tintin isn't as advanced, but you can open a mud session to a command, and it will think it's another mud session, so then you just read/write data from that session as if it's another mud, using triggers to send data back and forth to the main mud session. |
| 2026-06-20 19:15 | Delyrium | 66 MGB |
| 2026-06-20 19:14 | Delyrium | i had an old car like that |
| 2026-06-20 19:14 | Delyrium | it's always the maintenance |
| 2026-06-20 19:14 | Boneitis | At least now that all the tables have proper indexes on them |
| 2026-06-20 19:13 | Boneitis | I use a persistent postgres connection object in Python, so it reads/writes sufficiently fast. |
| 2026-06-20 19:13 | Delyrium | when your hobby is dominant you will be more happy |
| 2026-06-20 19:12 | Delyrium | it's a battle right between the two |
| 2026-06-20 19:12 | Boneitis | I'm pretty sure that's how Ebin has things set up. Sends things to a local server that does all the db stuff. |
| 2026-06-20 19:12 | Reptile | at one point, I thought about using a message queue for logs / database events, but then when I started to research, it started to feel like a real job instead of a hobby. |
| 2026-06-20 19:11 | Delyrium | my one, my precious |
| 2026-06-20 19:10 | Tiny | geek squad talk |
| 2026-06-20 19:10 | Reptile | beep boop |
| 2026-06-20 19:10 | Reptile | all their logs are basically the same thing anyways |
| 2026-06-20 19:10 | Delyrium | are you an AI? |
| 2026-06-20 19:09 | Reptile | yeah. I turn off logging on mday for everyone except the main window (group leader) for that tmux session. |
| 2026-06-20 19:09 | Boneitis | It's partly because my foreground world does logging of channels to my db, so I don't want multiple sessions running. |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Boneitis | *nod nod* It's just a different a matter of preferences really. |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Reptile | modified.. but it's diku |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Reptile | this is diku |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Delyrium | diku wow |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Jaeger | and hayami does what i want :D |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Reptile | ah. I haven't set my tintin sessions that way. probably should have, but I'm already down the rabbit hole with how I have the sessions. |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Jaeger | i just basically do /oth command |
| 2026-06-20 19:08 | Boneitis | And aliases like g1 to send all to diku.group1 worlds |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Boneitis | So I have diku.group1, diku.group2, etc. |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Jaeger | because my heroes dont need to level |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Jaeger | and like, i never do mday on hero |
| 2026-06-20 19:07 | Boneitis | TF has an option to have basically set world types, and then aliases/triggers that are bound to specific world types. |
