My condolences for downloading and installing Discord.
Don't forget to send your RAM to the hospital so they can use a
rape kit on it after Discord is finished with it.
If you self-host in the cloud, you can use an encrypted volume if youIf you like the Google Drive approach, Nextcloud would also work, pluss
it has its own integrated password management solution via plugins.
If I ever move back to a "real" ISP, the first thing I'll do is put a box on a UPS at my house and go back to self-hosting. I did that way back when on a server-friendly ISP and enjoyed running my own services.
I could put it on a VPS, but the data would be (I think) unencrypted and in the cloud - unless I'm mistaken. If there was a way to encrypt data at rest, I'd be all over that.

We connected. Good to meet you.

but the group is really dead...
I dropped by. It seems to be primarily a ProBoard group, since
it's being run by the owner of ProBoard?
If anyone has other groups to share that they like.
I'm linked up with ProgrammerJokes and one of the RT news
channels. I don't think I would even want more at this point.

The vast majority of my other links are the Fido2Telegram
groups (via @Fido2Telebot) which are linked to the echos with
Fidonet.
Windows 11 has that too (works with Android, dunno about iOS). Of
course, I've been using Google Voice, since it was Grand Central
before Google bought them, so using my phone and desktop is pretty
much been it... though I've also experienced every pain of Google's
schizophrenic approach to chat applications.
That's cool. I heard Windows 11 is supposed to be able to run Android
apps.
I had a Samsung phone not too long ago, and they had some software for Windows PCs that would let you control your phone from your PC. It
would show the phone's screen on your PC and you could interact with
it using that software. I thought it was interesting.

the group show up as bbsiochat, which is kind of annoying.

you mean the guy who claims to be the owner but has the leaked source, right? he's so full of shit his eyes are brown.
he's been busted multiple times.

Yeah, apparently the feature will be post-release (October 5th) though.
I haven't seen/tried it on insiders though.
Some Samsung (and other) phones actually have a hub/desktop mode where you can use a usb3 dock and get a desktop experience, that seems kind of cool too. Hadn't seen the mirroring.

I'm going to have to followup, apparently my phone number
is banned (google voice number), so emailed telegram to see
if they can unban or convert me to my carrier number...
*sigh* I don't like using the carrier number as I've never
memorized it and switched carriers without porting my
number a couple times now.

Every computer in my home has at least 32gb in it.
Discord sitting at 287mb here, which is pretty high for what it is...
Though I'm sitting with 40GB available, and about to drop in another
64gb with a new video card when it gets in tomorrow.

like, but given that volume can boot without a passphrase, it doesn't provide *that* much security. A few people will use FUSE mounts for the likes of S3 or similar, then encrypt that data... it'd be at rest across
a different system than the server itself, which is slightly better.
Getting my pihole and wireguard setup this weekend, at least that's the plan.

A message from July doesn't seem so bad. It's summertime and
people get occupied with things.
At what point in time is replying to a message considered a
necro event? And why does it seem to have a negative
connotation?
Heck, I have marked messages (intended for a reply) that are
dated much older than the one that you mention. :/

tracker is different in that he is just gone for long stretches. he's not a new guy who just didnt update his msg pointers.
so i'm not sure how to complain about him.

I've seen Android emulators for Windows that let you run Android apps
on Windows. So it's something that's out there already. It seems
Microsoft wants it included with Windows.. I wonder if it will be
more of a seamless feature being integrated into Windows.
Some Samsung (and other) phones actually have a hub/desktop mode
where you can use a usb3 dock and get a desktop experience, that
seems kind of cool too. Hadn't seen the mirroring.
I had a Samsung S20 phone that did that, or at least something like
that. I thought it was cool. It didn't need a dock - I could plug
my phone into my PC with a USB3 cable, and the Samsung software would
let me basically see my phone screen on my PC and interact with it
from my PC that way.
I set it up.. the ProBoard owner is just in there. :-) ..

I don't see any messages posted by "bbsiochat" in there. There
is an occassional post from someone using the id "Group"
though. Is that you?
You don't have to change numbers. Why not continue your account
as @azTracker1 ?
In any case, the folks at Telegram are very helpful if you run
into a ban situation and explain the circumstances. My number
was banned at one point. My number is a standard number with my
cellphone. By then, I had already installed Telegram on 3
devices. I just wanted one more device. But as soon as I went
to register/activate the installation, I got a "number is
banned" message. :( But an email to Telegram Support sorted
it all out within 12 hours.
So yes, it is awesome that you can afford to have 32 Gb of RAM on
your weakest computer. But that is not an argument to make to a
guy whose pro-computer fleet has no computer with more than 2.
I bet Tracker1 lives in a dark tower of power and spends his time
reading black tomes while listening to The Spell and raising dead
threads from the grave.
Really wanting to switch back to Linux (PopOS), but also wanting to try some AI up-scaling for video, that's limited to Windows. May have to stick a second drive in again so I can dual-boot cleaner.
i made the mistake of letting this run when i was cleaning my pet's cages and my fishtank.
he started getting really bad talking about this 18 year old woman he knocked up at 30, then showing his kid's pics and going on these rants about crazy shit. saying it's not his fault he can't keep a job or take care of his kids.
he said baby momma's last name was sanford. i wonder if that was eli's sister. it's hard to make it out.
i was like god damn dude. you should be on a government watch list.
he wasn't that bad before, he must be using crystal meth or huffing.
atleast he took down the confederate flag off the wall.

I wasn't trying to be offensive... only mentioning that 16+ has been
widely available for a while, at least in the US. I'm often very
surprised when I see something with less than 8gb.
There's definitely some hard press to try to get something running that
low on resources with a modern desktop. There was some options in
Windows XP that let you use a fast USB or other drive as extension
memory. Not sure if you can still do that in Windows or Linux.

ProBoard was the first BBS software I ever seriously ran, because all the BBSes in this area used it. (Mr. Homie's Neighborhood, which moved down to Milwaukee was one of them).
I eventually moved to Synchronet in the late 90s and didn't really look back.

Is it Topaz Video Enhance AI by chance? I've been using that on and
off since about April last year to do some video upscaling. I've
considered switching to Linux for a long time but haven't due to
software, and now Topaz Video Enhance AI is one reason why.

That would be the one... been meaning to play with it, I have some DVDs that don't have HD versions that I'd been wanting to upscale, though
dual boot should work for the future... also, not sure how much I'm willing to deal with the secure boot in windows, and if it will/won't work in Linux for me.
How has it been working for you... now that I have a 3080, hoping it
will chew through it relatively quickly.

I remember when I talked to Pat on the phone once or twice he liked to brag about his experience at CNN and his accumulated awards. It sounds like the right guy to me.
nobody uses instant msging anymore.
Shame actually. I got on the net in 1996 and ICQ and IRC were my main means of communication. I loved getting the oh-ow sounds when logging in, having people reach out to me and exchanging messages.

I don't have a snap, or a tictok...well, I do because I had to post something for a contest, but other than that I never use them.
There was a golden age where GAIM (and it's later incarnation, Pidgin) were a part of work and play. I had a security chat on SILC, some friends on Yahoo, work used AIM (with a proxy so we could connect when the net was down), I had a Jabber server running, and other friends elsewhere. Skype even worked, if only for chat. I'd even had it plugged into Synchro.net's IRC network.
i think someone just posted it on the internet. he has paid people for it in the past, or so he says so he thinks he owns it. he said he paid clawson money for it and he got an asm dump. pcmike looked at the paperwork and the signatures were all computer generated. he would talk about it on irc and i'd go back in the logs and catch him lying so who knows what the truth is.
"Yes, it's legit, he "bought" the rights from Jeff Reeder, former employee of Telegrafix. Although I have my doubts about who actually had the rights to ProBoard after Pat died."

It only just showed up here so either something got something stuck and finally send it out, or someone dumped a lot of dupes that were so old I didn't have them any more so no idea.
There is no hard rule for defining what is necro and what is not. I think something is necro when it happens long after interest on the thread has waned.

What I think is funny/odd is, if someone starts a new thread about the same topic, that's fine. But some people seem to get annoyed when someone responds to another thread about the same topic if it's a somewhat old thread. I guess we shouldn't assume the original poster is still interested (but maybe they are). But if people can start new threads, I don't see why it should be such a big deal to respond to other threads regarding the same topic.
