This is a pretty good collection of small utilities but I would recommend using GNU Parallel[0] instead of the included parallel. It contains a ton of extremely useful additional features such as distributing jobs to remote computers.

[0]: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/

Using Volafile to host the keylogger executable seems like a pretty bad choice considering that this website will delete your files after only 2 days. Or maybe this shouldn't surprise me so much considering the "skills" of the attacker.

You shouldn't link directly to 4chan, these threads will be gone in 7 days.

Right now the pass payments are processed by Stripe so I doubt the same could happen.

>Take home message is that the users got very personal at the end of moot's tenure.

Yet, when he left, users from the most popular boards (and even separate imageboards!) made thousands of drawings, wrote songs and made videos to thank him and say farewell. I think the number of people that liked him vastly outnumbered those who legitimately hated him.

>I also made a short (and now defunct, though I can rehost it) web-based puzzle for people on /g/ to learn a bit about encryption. Starting with a simple ROT13 and working up to audio stenography.

Durrcada? If so, I found it very fun even though my attention span is too short for that sort of things.

And you'll have to keep doing it after every Windows update. Is Windows 10 really that good to be worth the trouble?

Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure that the data you add on IPFS isn't automatically replicated on participating nodes. Other nodes will only acquire the data when they request it.

I definitely agree, but it is still missing anonymity, which I consider extremely important. Of course it's built in such a way that you could run it on top of any anonymous network in theory but these networks are still way too slow to offer a good experience in my opinion.

Still, I'm super excited every time I hear people talking about it.

I think that adding a few other user-friendly distributions such as Fedora or Mint in the "Install Linux" step might be a good idea.

Also, I haven't really followed the developments on this story but Ubuntu did effectively spy on you at some point by sending your searches to Amazon, considering this it is a pretty bad choice to recommend it in my opinion.

I'm into 3D modeling. It's challenging and makes you always think ahead of what you are currently doing. It has a lot of similarities to programming actually, except that since it's my hobby I'm not trying to be extremely productive and allow myself to work at a slow pace. It is pretty relaxing. Being somewhat familiar with a 3D workflow will also make you appreciate videogames or the CGI you see in movies even more. It also has tons of applications. As an example, I recently moved into a new place but I wasn't sure all my furniture would fit into my room, so I made a rough 3D model of the room and of my stuff and quicky tried different configurations to see which one would work the best.

I've also picked up photography. I don't like sports but I don't mind walking, so it's a great way to actually go outside instead of sitting at my desk all day. On the downside it is pretty addictive and can quickly become very expensive.

Because GamerGate was brewing to become the new chanology, which would have been a disaster for the whole website.

As for 8chan I guess it's because its address was being spammed constantly on every board and it's also considered advertising.

Re:The Next Chapter – moot retires from 4chan on Wednesday January 21, 2015 @12:10PM (#8924036)
I guess I kind of expected it since the past 6 months were probably very though for him with all the negative attention the site received.

I wish him a happy retirement and all the best for what he's going to do next.

These comics were mocking any form of extremism, and one could argue that extremism needs to be ridiculed.

They also look very similar to the engines used by Yves Rossy (aka Jetman) on his wing, although they seem to be a bit bigger and more powerful. http://www.jetman.com/?page_id=242
Pretty impressive

I wonder what the temps look like and how it would perform at 3D rendering and video encoding.

After watching this this it baffles me that:

There is no (central) display indicating the current position of both control sticks.

There is no redundant system allowing the pilots to see their speed, even if the method used is inaccurate it would still be better than nothing (GPS, heated pitot tubes, ...) Same for the altimeter.

Flight recorders aren't designed to float and broadcast their position, or at least release a small beacon that would give rescue teams a general idea about where to search.

FINALLY!

What else can we say?

Re:Ask moot: please respond on Sunday April 20, 2014 @02:11PM (#7617815)
4chan is moot's hobby. He doesn't care about whiners like you. I already told you that in your thread, OP. Just stop browsing 4chan please.

>I, and with me a few thousand, are 4chan-users.

A few thousands? You're alone. I thought you'd notice that in your firepad.

>refuses to respond to matters about 4chan on his own website.

Lurk more

>With little to no prior notice he implements features nobody of his userbase asked for

Someone does things on his own website and this is an outrage? You're not forced to browse and nothing prevents you from creating a new imageboard where you'd do everything your users are asking for.

>and refuses to participate in meta disccusions about the quality of his decissions.

Maybe he would if the comments against these changes weren't so inane.
