Admin here. If you want it I can email it to you. I still just don't feel like uploading it to anything like github yet. There's still some bugs and I think the code should be cleaned up quite a bit first before doing that.

I rather like this board script and would like to see if there's anything I could contribute, that's why I'm asking.
I'd suggest uploading the source to a git host of sorts, people interested in helping development could then debug and clean the code up themselves. It'd lift some burden off your shoulders in a way. Though, that's your choice.

I've left my email address in any case.

Why HTML instead of XHTML?

Never used Usenet. Every time I thought about starting it seemed like a lot to get into and I'd get the vibe that it was dying, so I'd just decide to wait for something new to take its place. If I'd known it would still be around after all this time I would have started over 15yrs ago.

If Alt Suicide Holiday is still up, I'd like to read that
Didn't some weird thing happen and it got integrated with Google Groups?

Usenet isn't centralised, google groups affects nothing. a.s.h is still up but alt.suicide.methods is more active now.

Sounds like you probably won't need an absolute top-of-the-range super gaming PC then. Look at the minimum specifications for all the games you play, and then make sure your new PC is much, much better than that. Not only so you can play the games at an acceptably high setting, but also so you can play even more high-tech games that will come out in the future.

Do you plan to put a DVD drive in it? If you don't, you're really going to struggle to install all the drivers if you put the PC together yourself.

>>10
If it's a good idea, I'll put a DVD drive in it.

>>11
>>10
You don't actually need a DVD drive for installing your shit, chances are the included drivers are positively ancient and you're better off downloading them from the manufacturer pages to begin with. I'm making good use of my $30 DVD burner because I'm a giant music faggot who likes CD's, but even then I did the installation with a 8GB USB drive loaded with the installation image and the Ethernet driver, the first thing I did was installing Firefox and using that to download the newest possible drivers for everything else.

Just a bit of incite -- If you know absolutely nothing about computers, Linux probably isn't for you. I mean this in a way that's not supposed to be an insult to you. The reasons most people have for linux probably wouldn't be of much relevance to the average user.
And like others have mentioned, game compatibility is an issue.

Regarding building a PC I highly recommend it. The process is extremely straightforward. They're simple to install, the only part that requires research really is the compatibility for the initial purchase. There are many communities however who can help you out, this one included.

The project is written in ruby, which is optimized for modern computers.
Which means that because of the abundance of resources it is not optimized at all.

Define "hash". I'll just read that as printable ASCII:

No standard library (unistd is not part of the standard)
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

#define stdout 2
int main()
{
\tunsigned char buf[7];
\tint offset = sizeof buf - 1;
\tbuf[offset] = '\n';
\tsyscall(SYS_getrandom, buf, offset, 0);
\tfor (int i = 0; i < offset; i++) {
\t\tbuf[i] %= '~';
\t\tif (buf[i] < '!')
\t\t\tbuf[i] += '!';
\t}

\twrite(stdout, buf, sizeof buf);
\treturn 0;
}

Prints random 6 char Unicode string
import System.Random
import Data.Char
main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn =<< take 6 . filter isPrint . randoms <$> getStdGen

Xorshift actually works
// compile with rustc -O to get rid of overflow checking
use std::time;

const NCHAR: usize = 6;

pub struct XorshiftGen {
state: [u64; 2],
}

impl XorshiftGen {
pub fn new() -> XorshiftGen {
let mut state: [u64; 2] = [0; 2];

let t = time::SystemTime::now();
let dur = t.duration_since(time::UNIX_EPOCH).unwrap();
state[0] = dur.as_secs();
state[1] = dur.subsec_nanos() as u64;

XorshiftGen{state: state}
}

pub fn u32(&mut self) -> u32 {
let mut x = self.state[0];
let y = self.state[1];
self.state[0] = y;
x ^= x << 23;
self.state[1] = x ^ y ^ (x >> 17) ^ (y >> 26);
(self.state[1] + y) as u32
}
}

fn main() {
let mut gen = XorshiftGen::new();

let chars: Vec<u8> = (33..126).collect();
let len = chars.len();

let ret: Vec<u8> = (0..NCHAR).map(|_| {

The current line restriction does seem pretty small now that I think about programming threads.
I'll change it from 60 to 200. Is that good or do you want it bigger? I think some line restriction is needed though since the maximum character count is 8000.

What about xweston? https://github.com/ackalker/Xweston

I'm surprised this actually kind of worked. But why would you want to do that? It should just give you an X11 WM that only works with other X11 programs running under Weston. That's pretty pointless. Why not use your WM normally?

btw, this is my fresh manjaro installed on tablet btw.

The tag is "cb" for making a code-block here instead of "code".

But wouldn't it be the same for Manjaro as Arch Linux since they use the same package manager?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/offline_installation_of_packages

These lines are for keeping the system up to date, but I wonder if you can modify it to ask for a particular package instead.
Machine without internet:
pacman -Sup --noconfirm > pkglist
take pkglist to machine with internet, run in empty directory to download everything:
wget -nv -i ../pkglist
take the downloads to machine without internet and put them in /var/cache/pacman/pkg then run:
pacman -S package-name

o

I'll do it tomorrow.
I need to look back what specific packages I need to install into my tablet.

they're reinventing hieroglyphics

Sure, why not, since we're adding everything else under the sun to unicode now. Tbh I don't really care that much though.

You could've just posted a screenshot of the thread, I'm pretty sure everyone knows what a selfie is. But whatever.

I don't really see the point in doing this since it's not like most people will know how to "type" emoji like that anyway (like knowing the actual keyboard alt sequence to produce it, or by using something like japanese keyboard input)
I'm sure for 99% of their usage people will just be accessing them from some built in menu in whatever they're using. Can't those sites just build whatever emoji they want as a site feature? Most people wouldn't even know the difference.

>>12
You'rce totally right, i agree - emoji should just be a markup language. not part of the text system itself. its absurd..

Is this just so you can piss people off by uploading your code to github in a language that uses symbols most people don't even have a font for?

the name of the programming language is a stylized vagina
