a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 23:14 ben_vulpes: which features
a character mircea_popescu may find amusing, the slut with an entire rural town wrapped around her finger

a single file of binary crap, instead of as
a directory of 3 files of which one
a html and two jpgs
mircea_popescu: basically looks like some versions of zip fuck up the directory structure, extract it as
a flat file.
phf: fwiw i'm getting
a different shasum 512 from either of you
trinque: sign
a hex dump and deedbot!
mircea_popescu: i suppose one thing we could do is change how a111 works so that on every outbout link posted here it

☟︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile, keep
a blog, keep it well backed up, so that if phf asks, you can link him

a survival plan for www in the first place!
mircea_popescu: did your objection change from "this free service doing

mircea_popescu: jus' saying, i take such
a dim view of branding i'm not even willing to consider projects ; merely the people doing them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with shit in trilema is that people go "lalala nobody cares" and then five years later they're begging for

ben_vulpes: i have
a hateful noise machine upon which i intend to install gigablast eventually.

phf: guy was
a one man torrent operation provided oldfags and lusers alike with quality prods, it seems entirely petty to focus on his ad revenue, and ties squarely into usg narrative of "he made millions!!!"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 20:47 phf: asciilifeform: you happen to have
a djvu archive of теxника-молодежи?
mircea_popescu: "This is how I know that anyone who says, "If only I could live in Mad Men time where you could pinch
a girl's ass and not get in trouble for it" is going to be way disappointed if
a TARDIS shows up, because they wouldn't pinch them back then, either, not because they are afraid of trouble but because they are afraid of girls. Exhibit
A: you know what
a TARDIS is." << guy rocks lol

a djvu archive of теxника-молодежи?
