No.41263 [View All]
This board is mostly bickering about what or isn't cyber and what to post or what not to post
Shut the fuck up lets talk about some cyber feels.
>sitting on a rooftop above a crowded city late at night watching millions of lives unfold in miniature beneath you
>exchanging less-than-legal information with anonymous citizens on a darknet forum
>hacking a personal account/network and getting a distant view of a stranger
>navigating a crowd of hundreds of people, and yet feeling alone in their midsts

That context helps me understand where you're coming from a bit better, with the wageslave tech job and all. Do the people you typically interact with on IRC/irl come and go or do you have a consistent group you keep in touch with?

There used to be a great bar in my city. Quiet on weeknights, loud on the weekends. Crazy good Japanese food at rock bottom prices to entice you to buy more beer. Fitted out in scavenged panelling and cracking vinyl from the 90's, except for the two back walls which were one huge projector screen. They'd play chilled out beats over scenes from Akira interspersed with old movies and speedrun videos. You could order drinks and huddle up at a table with a pirated book on your phone for hours as long as you were buying drinks or food. It was every "hip-hop beats to study/relax to" fantasy you've every had. It was down an alley, for fuck's sake!
Some billionaire bought the building and doubled the rent overnight, so they closed. There's a hotel there now. Nothing more cyberpunk than that.
(The owners have a sick jazz and izakaya bar up north now. It rocks, and they're doing well.)

Well, you know how it is with IRC. There's some regulars in most channels, larger ones have a good amount of people coming and going.
I'm pretty much a shut-in, do have a few peeps I meet up with. Mostly for drinks though, conversations with them tire me. Typical "I don't have anything to hide" people, happily being bullied by govs.
I understand not being able to do something about shit like that, but they don't even realize they're slowly being turned into cattle.

Ownership of one's information is everything.
I've honestly never used IRC, probably due to the fact I'm quite a bit younger than most people who do. I am speaking from ignorance here, but I assume those who used IRC back in the 90's/00's around its peak are still riding that wave out of nostalgia and familiarity. You fit in that camp?

I like reading through this thread again every once in a while. It's just very comfy, sitiing in my chair, scrolling with some nice music in the background, trying to imagine what every anonymous person that replied here is doing now. I wonder if the people 4 years back, the first to reply and create this thread are still here, lurking in the shadows, or if they have moved on. I dunno if this qualifies as cyber feel.

nice. what are you thinking of?
I know a revolver has it's limitations but the ruger LCR can be pretty 水 in my opinion. If you can replace the stock grips with translucent amber ones. I know there was someone who did that and it looked nice.
also with a laser attachment too: https://shopruger.com/Ruger-LCR-LaserMax-Laser/productinfo/12979/
I'd say a pocket sized six shooter in .327 is not too bad.

I've been looking at a few revolvers. Gun laws here in Canada are some ridiculous shit and some of them are up in the air because of the shazbot in charge right now drafting legislation on stuff he knows nothing about.
SLavshit rifles tend to be a little cheaper though, SKSes and such are 200-400 dollars. I'm not terribly concerned with what I get for my first firearm so long as I find it comfortable to use.

I remember how amazing it was to me when I was a young kid to have this crazy box of boards and wires sitting in front of me with a screen that I had to type commands into and would get games or doodling programs or word processing programs going…this was back in the early 90s when computers were really starting to become a ubiquitous part of peoples' homes. I used to play Arkanoid and Escape from Castle Wolfenstein on the one at home, and it's just nuts to think about how far technology has come from there. Every now and again I see a new gadget or think about some of the stuff we have now like smartphones and tablets and can't help but remark "This is fucking crazy. 25 years ago when I was a kid this stuff was unthinkable as anything other than science fiction fantasy, and now it's a thing, not just a thing but a common thing. It's AMAZING." and nobody else seems to really appreciate how huge of a thing that is.

Same. I'm reading through this thread (and generally the board) for the 1st time since like half a year and was kinda sad that no one seemed to reply anymore. This board was never very active to begin with, but it just feels dead at this point. We're living in a time were the term cyberpunk is associated with a failed, hyped up, and shitty open world game. This used to be my goto place when I was bored and I'm sad to see it slowly fading into an endless void of irrelevancy.

I guess we have reached this point, or at least are slowly approaching it. It's kinda sad, but what is more /cyber/ than browsing a dead /cyber/ board and feeling somewhat of a connection to the anons in this thread, amirite?

>What's more /cyber/ than browsing a dead /cyber/ board.
This. I unironically got into this board less than a year ago and I'm browsing it regularly even though there are only weekly changes.
The board is alive, but the old users went away. Where? Maybe they adapted to the new world and enjoy their SpIphone or they just happened to quit imageboards alltogether because they are such a toxic environment.
For me who just got into privacy related stuff just recently and is still about learning IT-stuff this really is gold. Since I've been browsing this page and the linked pages, I've learned a shit ton of things, so the page still has to offer something, even for new users.
The main problem is probably that most /cyber/ punks don't want to visit a website that is so politically incorrect as 8kun. Like most /cyber/ punks aren't racists or don't want to coexist with them on boards like these, while others don't give a fuck.
Anyways, as long as there are more or less frequent users, I'll come here.

It's fucking weird, man. We're 3D printing firearms, starting to 3D print replacement organs based off of synthesized DNA which is itself based off of regular human DNA.
Vaccines for the latest pandemic have weird political shit attached to them and keep getting recalled because they kill like 1 in 1000 people that take them, and some of those vaccines use experimental technology that bypasses our natural bodily processes to speed up our immune response.
Telling the truth has become something that gets a person punished as far-left authoritarianism has taken hold of society, though it is encouraging to see some politicians and government officials banning things like critical race theory that don't allow discussion of opposing ideas.
Corporations have made it so abundantly clear that they don't give a shit about anything that isn't profit, but still jump onto every activist cause to pander for more brouzouf, surprising nobody who's paid attention for the last decade or more.
Subcultures that were built on anti-authoritarianism(punk, goth, psychobilly, industrial, metal) have become rigidly authoritarian and it's been ripping them apart internally as people try to use cancel culture to go after bands and publications that don't tow the politically correct opinions and lines.
We have several companies that create mechanical limb replacements that are approaching the capabilities of and in some ways even surpassing the capabilities of natural human limbs thanks to microcontrollers and limited AI.
Job markets have crashed everywhere as a result of the Chinese Coof, or more accurately government response to the coof, and semi-mysterious and largely unaccountable groups like The World Economic Forum seem deadset on convincing every government that the answer to this is not revitalizing the jobs industry but forcing authoritarian socialism onto everyone, and most politicians seem to be agreeing with or at least working with them.
We live in a fucking weird time.

There was an anarchist here until they hauled him away to a higher security place for being too obnoxious and loud. He had lived in Mexico and Ireland and got picked up in Taiwan for trying to go off-grid in a forest.
Then there's the Chinese guy who tries to ask
"Can I help you?"
Then
"What's your story?"
Then
"Are you the agent?"
(???)
I asked him whether he likes techno and he said "techno? sorry I dont speak English too well" and then he muttered something under his breath about the Fuhrer. Then I asked him what his story is but he just said "my story? I just want to get rid of the CGP".
I don't know if he meant to say CCP or something. He seems pretty high level but I just wish he was happy.

I read these posts and realized this was from 2019. I don't think anyone could have seen coming that shit was gonna get much worse. Man.
I think I'll have a drink tonight to the destruction of our freedoms. God bless this planet.

As the shazbot who posted that stuff, I'll drink with you, chummer.
Closest thing we can do, though, is probably tell each other what we're drinking. I'm gonna go for some whiskey. On the cheaper side, low budget booze kinda gives me the vibes from when this thread was magical.
I still read it top-to-bottom when I need to calm down. It radiates serene fantasies with some bitterness and glamor sprinkled over it.
This board's unique and it needs to return.

I had a whiskey and coke. Nothing too fancy, just ordinary Jameson. Still good.
Cheers, to the destruction of life as we knew it.

Went with Tully. Jameson is pretty good. Amazing for mixing as well. Nice taste anon.
In all seriousness, fuck that. I'm getting married to another software dev and had a heart-to-heart a long time ago. We agreed that if we're going to jail for fighting the bullshit going on, then so be it. No regrets.
Might be too late, but the harder the bastards have to work for it, the better.

Maybe not as /cyber/, but I guess somehow relatable.
