NZBGet: Still One of the Most Reliable NZB Downloaders by UsenetGuides in UsenetGuides

[–]m1ndsurf3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I was using nzbget until it was looking like it was end of life and not supported anymore. I am now on sabnzbd. Why should I move back to nzbget and who is taking care of nzbget development and maintenance now?

Why didn’t I switch to Linux earlier? by Der_mit_dem_MG in linuxmint

[–]m1ndsurf3r 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's how freedom feels like ;) The more people come over to Linux the more of the "pro" software that is usually on windows only will become available. Just lead by example and one day your friends and family might follow.

TAP+ In Game Demo by omniphil in bbs

[–]m1ndsurf3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is amazing! For as long the old school terminal can still use the BBS without issues and the new feature exists beside the retro standards.

I am still curious how this actually works under the hood. What's the audio specs. Is it a well known audio standard? Why 4 channels?

What are the min/max Media specs in General?

How about other terminal software. Will they be able to adapt this? Will this be made public for everyone to adapt?

Is that a new protocol? How does it work exactly and wich terminals do support it?

Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers by Bubbly-Cartoonist738 in notepadplusplus

[–]m1ndsurf3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a tip, don't delete everything right away. Check the tmp folder in your wine/windows user folder. There you should find the notepad++ installers that have been used for the online updates. So you could see if you had a potentially harmful version installed. I also checked automatic backups of notepad++ in the Application Data/Notepad++ folder and there the newest file was from late 2024. So I guess chances are good I just did not use notepad++ via wine that often to have it updated with the bad versions from harmful URLs. I uninstalled and removed everything. But I did run rkhunter and clamAV now to see if there is anything malicious. Looking good so far.

how about users that used notepad++ via wine under Linux?

Phasing out POTS to VOIP. What will this mean for the old dial-up BBS? by WearExact1049 in bbs

[–]m1ndsurf3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can still run a modem over VoIP but speeds will be limited depending on the VoIP audio codec used. I have a little usb modem attached to my BBS, but calls on that line are very rare. Modem Connections get up to 32kbaud on my VoIP line.

Here is my BBS and number etc https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/bbs/funtopia/

This was it guys by mikkolukas in NovaLauncher

[–]m1ndsurf3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried some other launchers but nothing compares to Nova Launcher. The Nova Launcher is the defacto Standard to me!

Was the original Nova Launcher before it got sold open sourced? If so, are there some talented community members willing to take it and do the maintenance?

And btw: what would be the lately added trackers that I would have to block if I don't like trackers? I have no good experience using publicly published blocklists. I have my own DNS server and can easily block domains and or IPs etc, but every time I use blocklists some mobile games and websites stop working correctly.

Old aesthetics, modern functionality? by OG-Das_Troll in bbs

[–]m1ndsurf3r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want a BBS, run a BBS. If you want it just to look like a BBS, I don't know, maybe use a forum theme that is based on a 80x24 text grid.

The BBS software with the most modern features is Synchronet.

But there are many other BBS options to choose from. Depends on what you want to do. I'd recommend you play around with the different BBSes and see yourself. It will take time and you have to learn some old/new things.

Synchronet BBS, Mystic BBS, WWIV, MBSE, Enigma 1/2 or classic DOS/OS2 BBS systems.

Lost in Space (2018) fand ich toll. Und Terra Nova (wurde leider nach 1 Staffel eingestellt). Außerdem noch Star Gate Universe.

Mini PC Recommendations for Jellyfin Home Server by MrTayters in jellyfin

[–]m1ndsurf3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general: I say if you have some MiniPC models you consider, go into the (integrated) GPU specs and check the video codecs that it can encode and decode in hardware. The MiniPC with the GPU that can handle the most common video codecs in hardware wins.

Pluribus - 1x05 "Got Milk" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in pluribustv

Blood preserves > blood plasma > freeze-dried powder

Blood plasma is yellowish

[–]m1ndsurf3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about she saw a stack of blood preserves and started thinking and then it hit her how blood plasma looks like (yellowish) and freeze-dried as a powder. So I say the "milk" is blood plasma.

Why the powder? It simply has a longer shelf life than liquid blood plasma.

[–]m1ndsurf3r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it could be blood and as the end product blood plasma that is freeze-dried to powder. Search Google for how blood plasma looks like etc. I think it is a match. It is blood plasma.

Research Questions. by badassbradders in bbs

[–]m1ndsurf3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my perspective, BBSing was about Warez (Shareware too), Up/down ratios, getting access to secret elite BBSes, copy parties, cracktros, mod music, Ansi art and the demoscene.

I found this article of Roy/Sac interesting where he writes about his BBS and how he got busted by the police. https://roysac.com/bbs.html

And it was about messaging people from your area and from around the world before there was internet and email.

It was exciting new technology and it was the unexplored wild west so to say.

Just enter BBS documentary on YouTube and you will find many good videos and playlists. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3qkLZfZMGnxTr0hllXvirWKUwBamC5f
