// meatspace, discussing that you could only get the 'fullest stack' (finding/racking/powering/networking/installing/deploying to hw) exp. at a startup <clj> i don't want to move to san francisco, because it's scary when they're, like, in the street. and on drugs.

// 2023-08-16, cynic spends his first few days on campus wondering how he's going to run the first year engineering software. cynic oh good eduroam works cynic teim 2 figure out how to run solidworks on a 2012 debian shitpad cynic https://www.solidworks.com/support/system-requirements <-- brb jumping off slusher tower +h4des cynic: im gonna let you in on a secret technique +h4des we had a vtluug guy who basically kept buying and returning the same laptop through best buy to run freshman software +h4des he would basically take an image of the laptop, return it, then deploy the image on the new laptop, and do that for a whole ass semester +h4des an alternative option would be to request a loaner from SWAT +h4des but you'll need to have a broken laptop or invoice for that +h4des but you see they don't actually check whether or not your laptop is broken, they just need a ticket # from a repair center or an order # +h4des there's nothing really stopping you from writing ur own fake dell/lenovo/samsung/microsoft/fujitsu support tickets and using that as evidence +h4des then you get a 3 week loan +h4des you can also request another 3 week extension once, no questions asked, so technically 6 weeks cynic would the public boxes in newman/torg work? +h4des after that they get suspicious and ask for an update on your laptop ticket +h4des but you could easily do the method i described above, and have "backordered parts" (this is especially a popular excuse with microsoft hardware) +h4des or you could say "my laptop came back and it's DOA, i need to ship it again" and request another loaner cynic heh cynic okay

jpo: As much as I might find the extent of our society’s reliance on personal metal boxes on 4 wheels to be distasteful, having one’s own metal box does have undeniable utility. I went several hundred miles in someone else’s metal box with the check engine and BRAKE light on a flashing and blinking the whole time, through rain and that snow/ice/sleet/hail storm, and control of the vehicle was indeed lost. Mildly terrifying. Lots of highways with semis too. Having my own metal box without these real and present risks to life and limb seems overdue jpo: Traction control light (ABS not working) was also on. Along with a couple other lights. Only light that was any consolation was the “passenger airbag on” light

// VTCsec renamed to Cyber @ VT. VTLUUG is in uproar // Meatspace: Paul: Am I High? Eric: Are we collectively all high then? and can I have less of these drugs? // Cyberspace: Matt: Is it still run by feds? Eric: well, they don't realise that cyber w/out context means cybersex, so clearly Eric: I mean, I'm totally okay with supporting people and their fetishes. But you don't have to be *that* forthright about it Matt: How else would they meet people to cyber with? Paul: We need a LinuxVT Matt: <image: vtcsec.org "connection is not secure"> Still haven't setup TLS in 2021 Matt: I'm sorry what http://vtcsec.org/roles.html // site lists COO, CFO, etc. as organisational positions Lukas: I really wish I was in the room where a bunch of vtcsec officers decided to give themselves C-level executive titles for a fucking student org of all places.
