// 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.

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

// 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

"It was a cold evening when the VTLUUG meeting was in Torg. Our fearless leader at that time, The mutantmonkey, put on a video of the grandfather of all of us, Richard Stallman, eating an entity blessed with inumerable unix powers that our great grandfather located on his foot, thus making the evil Greek, who also helped destroy Europes economy, to leave the meeting. Peace was had after that."

cco3 | I've decided that if I ever right an autobiography, it will be totally factual, except that I will have the superpower to jump back in time 24 |hours and tell myself, "24 hours from now, you will be <insert implausible scenario that actually does come to pass>" cco3 | write* cco3 | So this future me will keep jumping back in time and telling me this crazy stuff cco3 | "24 hours from now, you will be totally lost in downtown Austin in a car you borrowed from a paranoid schizophrenic" cco3 | Stuff like that +telnoratti | You stole a paranoid schozophernic's car? cco3 | borrowed... cco3 | I was helping someone move, and he had the UHaul, and someone needed to drive his car to the UHaul place +telnoratti | he's paranoid schizophrenic I don't think he'd let you borrow cco3 | and I was the only one that could drive a stick cco3 | I guess his meds were working for him that day? +telnoratti | This story seems dubious cco3 | When I started up the car, it was one of those where you have to turn the key *just* right to get it to start cco3 | so after 5 minutes of struggling, I got it started, we rolled out of the driveway and I was following him cco3 | He starts to pull over at a gas station, and he's being pretty hesitant cco3 | I guess he doesn't know if the uhaul is too tall or he's having trouble seeing everything cco3 | so park and get out to help direct him cco3 | turns out he was just letting someone else in our party pass cco3 | I rush back in the car and try to start it cco3 | of course, I can't start it again cco3 | it takes me like 10 minutes to get the key to turn right cco3 | and this guy just doesn't notice that I'm not following him cco3 | luckily someone had given him my cellphone number and eventually he calls me and tries to direct me cco3 | but this is before GPS was everywhere, and I had only been in Austin for a month or so, and it's near midnight, and I have no idea where I am cco3 | After 30 minutes of driving around while trying to talk on a phone at midnight in an unfamiliar place, I finally made it there cco3 | but that was pretty stressful +telnoratti | you didn't know where you were goign so your solution was to just keep driving randomly? cco3 | telnoratti: yes cco3 | optimal algorithm cco3 | I don't think it'd be as bad now that I'm older, but back then I hadn't had a car for months and even driving was somewhat unfamiliar cco3 | I was so sure I was going to hit something and wreck his car -
