However latest is ftp://guest:[email protected]:21212/Books/Cyberpunk/Alt_Cyberpunk_FAQ_V5_preview14.htm
How about putting it all in a paste with markdown so links are directly clickable?
Blake Cruz
Just a reminder that we are looking for pic. related.
Colton Evans
What am I looking at? I see that it's acollection of tons of stuff but why is it so important?
Ayden Lee
We are always looking for relevant information to upload to the FTP site. Also, as the FAQ editor I am also looking for inputs.
Military manuals are always useful for the tech aspects both for opsec and cyberpunk. Up to about the 90's mil tech was the driving force in civilian tech development. Then in the 90's mil tech went for COTS. Nowadays civilian and entertainment tech is the driving force, and what happens in mil tech does not really get out of the doors into the civilian world. And as the SDR revolution shows even amateurs have now access to tech the military could only dream of 20 years ago.
Michael Wright
I reported a security issue to NASA's soc and they haven't answered back in 2 days.
Seems BBC is a well of /cyb/ and /sec/ news. There are times I wonder if journalists there follow Sup Forums.
Ian Perry
No they're not and no they don't.
Gavin Wilson
Any leads? Also check'd
Jackson Gutierrez
A lot of the news posted in the past had links to BBC. Also searching Sup Forums site:bbc.com gives me about 284 hits.
Cooper Bell
After that news came from elsewhere. BBC has little interest in tech news beyond reporting what's already being covered and qualifies being bumped from tech blogs to a old media site. If you lived in the UK you'd know this.
William Campbell
No I don't have any leads. I have done the obvious searches on Google, Bing etc but wit no success. Still, Google gives different results to different people so others might have more luck than me. Also some might hopefully have a copy on their own disks.
John Gray
I never said BBC was more than a news aggregator, still they do link to sources and use DOI. Many of the other sites are not so good and Wired has declined dramatically.
What news sites do you recommend then?
And I used to live in the UK but that is a while ago. I know many in the UK complain about BBC but much of what passes for news media elsewhere is far, far worse.
Hudson Ramirez
I guess most elderly are and have been cyborgs for a long time now. Many have - hearing aid - pace maker - titanium hip and knee replacement joints - metal fasteners after broken bones - artificial heart valves (some use valves from pigs) - artificial lenses after cataract operations
And I am sure I have forgotten a lot more.

BUMP
Justin King
some also use wheelchairs or fatmobile
James Ward
Any cybersecurity majors out there? What classes are you taking this semester?
Hunter Hall
Thanks!
I was thinking mainly about things implanted into the human body. Personally I don't feel like I am becoming a cyborg when I sit in my car and turn on the ignition. Or should I?
Josiah Hernandez
Sorry! I just copied from rbtasia
Chase Campbell
>rbtasia Never saw this before.
Anyways, I think the opening collection could do with a major overhaul.
Jose Turner
Following up. Last working link was back in the beginning of January. >youtu.be/pcSlowAhvUk
Bentley Carter
it depends on how you drive your car and what it is, most people treat them as appliances but a good driver will feel at one with the machine.
Elijah Miller
>a good driver will feel at one with the machine Isn't that going a bit far? Comfortable, yes, but feeling as one with the car?
Adrian Fisher
If you are a good driver with a good car
Leo Price
Oh man, you are really raising the bar here. Heh heh
Just watching a Countach video since I will probably never drive one myself youtu.be/WVp5a38WT_0
Dylan Moore
How many years of study will it take me to be an employable vuln analyst?
Oliver Sanchez
It really depends on the certs you get and job experience. A bachelors degree sometimes helps, but often isnt needed. Id look at job listings for this position or similar ones to get a good idea. Some positions require anywhere between 2 and 8 years in tech service, with some of those in information security
Brayden Powell
Spooky but not even close to what I've found ten years ago from a reputable source. Apparently human growth hormone black market was big and many rich people buy that stuff to make their kids taller.
David Phillips
I want to do research more than IT stuff. Which degree do I need for that?
Ayden Barnes
So are half open SYN TCP scans safe?
Parker Diaz
CS is supposed to be more about the science and research than hands on programming. Then again, "research" means so many different things. My worst experience was in a very much former company where they were starting a research project. It made me interested. Until, that is, they clarified they meant reading the manuals. The former company is now also an ex-company.
>Gene editing and Transhumanism are mutually exclusive
Ryan Baker
I'm never going to become rich in this field am I ;_;
Ayden Wood
Gene editing will probably be here much sooner.
Camden Ortiz
Damn I need to make a lot of money fast so I can afford it and am not outpaced by ubermensch
Daniel Price
I wish people stop thinking like that too
Andrew Nelson
If you ask me, what I would love to see when I'm alive, would tbe medical advance in terms of easy peasy surgeries so the mechanical or merging with non human things will come easier and by itself since we have not to worry about compatibility or healing.
Carson Hall
I hope we end up getting both honestly.
Landon Jackson
We need advances in biomedical research even for cybernetic implants, I know electronics look nice and shiny but actual bioengineering is the drive for everything.
Kevin Ross
>/cyb/ FTP: >>ftp://collectivecomputers.org:21212/Books/Cyberpunk/ >>user/password == guest gonna repeat myself everytime: how can you guys consider yourself /cyb/ and /sec/ when you dont make this sftp
Jacob Jackson
why arent you forcing sftp?
Jeremiah Lee
>even for Why do I feel I put complexity of cyb-implants too high and you put it too low? Althought I'm agree with you.
Jaxson Mitchell
Not sure the host wants an SSH port at the open thou
>* your new browser is firefox. be sure to go into options, then security, and uncheck block malicious content. mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Why would I uncheck it?
Aaron Jenkins
But you are right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One thing thou, in my opinion, at the low level the line between nanomachines and biological constructs blurs. Sooner or later one becomes the other.
I know this is th endgame, and I know a lot of cybernetics will happen before the level of nanomachines. Is just that at the end we benefit of things like synthetic biology so why not jump there right away?
Lucas Bennett
>not sure the host wants SSH open what? that's a standard thing even the shittiest hosting companies provide. if the host doesnt allow SSH then they need to move to another host.
Jose Hernandez
I think I catch you. Well if you put it that way, nanos could arrive before the implants since they will help in a few fields which will improbe the surgeries, in example.
Cooper Garcia
There's a bookmark in my Tor Browser, that I don't remember putting there. Hovering over it crashes X.
Leo Turner
Yeah, cybernetics, as in flesh connected to electronics as the common folk imagine, can be defined in one problem: Computer to brain interface. The part exposed to cybernetics, most probably nervous connections, needs not only to not get infected by the material or talk to the damn thing, but also behave like organic material. It may not sound like, but I've just spoken about immunology in the above, which is about tissues getting along.
Also just watched BR2049 >tfw synthetic biology makes BR 2049 real >tfw replicants become real A man can dream.
Nathaniel Torres
how long until I can buy an obedient pleasure/companion model with a barren womb so I can cum inside until I can't cum anymore
Daniel Gray
2049 - 2018 years :^)
Grayson Baker
Actually, the holografic grill can be an excting market. And not oonly referred to grills.
Easton Nelson
Yeah, that is probably taking less than ten years.
Jack Anderson
Actually, I always loved that kind of UI and holo thing, I don't really know why. Is not like I don't like other related cyb thing too, but holos call me fucking strong.
Jeremiah Hall
post bookmark?
Josiah Smith
Then congrats, you are having Hatsune Miku for Christmas of 2028 :^)
Colton Richardson
Just did a hex dump of places.sqlite and it seems harmelss. The bookmark's title contains hundred of spaces (0x20). Must be a bug in GTK or my window manager
Andrew Green
hologram can't do me laundry or wash my windows while I'm at work
Jayden Foster
Ugh, I don't think that will be the cool the people thinks it will be.
Think it as an UI. At least that's how I picture it.
Easton Morris
Eeeeh i see it could work if houses went the route of automating the housekeeping I mean how noone made windows that would clean with a wiper like a windsheld on a car yet
Ryder Richardson
>tfw want to live in an aesthetic /cyb/ city but they're all in east asia >tfw the /cyb/ life is just a dream
Lucas Morgan
I live in Vancouver, it's the same architectural style and feel basically. Along with the poverty and inequality one would expect. It's as cyberpunk as I've found outside Asia.
Leo Bailey
Why not move to east asia?
Christian Cruz
vancouver is probably the most asian city in north america
Nathaniel Bell
apart from the ching chong signs it's really not that different in any large city.
Easton Sanchez
It is. Also a lot of anti-white discrimination here which is making it hard for me to find a job.
I have all the credentials but nobody wants me. Once I get experience I'll move to seattle but I need experience to get sponsored.
Ryder Wilson
Well, "we" didn't set it up, we just used what was out there.
Blake Rodriguez
>aesthetic /cyb/ city Like Comfypunk?
Jayden Barnes
Lived in Vancity for a year, what a shithole. North van is the only livable place.
Eli Thompson
North Van is actually where I live.
I feel a need to get out of here though, the city is stifling but the rest of the country is a frozen shithole.
Luke King
The human body is the result of millions of years of adaption to, well, adaptability. We are not super specialised like most robots like a Roomba. And that is why a humanoid robot, while highly complex, can be used for everything from cooking to entertainment and cleaning.
Jason Foster
Isn't this the city where Wm Gibson lives?
Dylan Cruz
are hackathons cyb/sec? i see one every week but im not sure if they are worth attending. where are all of the real security events?
Blake Cook
Vancouver may be more "Asian" but I'd give the nod to LA as the most /cyb/. It doesn't get any more dystopian megacity, dickensian levels of wealth and poverty than that. I say this as someone who has been to every city in NA with over 30,000 population other than Anchorage and the southern Mexican shitholes.
Hudson Perry
Sure. After all that is the quintessential "the street finds its own uses for things." Have a loog over at and perhaps . Ther eis also a regumar ham general that is interesting.
Nolan Morris
That one should of course have been the response to
Brandon Jones
>need to move to another host Do you have another sFTP host open with read/write access?
Easton Wilson
>Comfypunk A dystopia where nobody gets fucked up to the top and they all can live comfy because they earned.
PS: Said I earned because I don't want SJW shit.
Kevin Kelly
That isn't really dystopic to me. It used to be the case in the US that hard work earned you success but closer inspection shows that the US middle class has in reality had no improvement in living standard for over 20 years. That is a lot more dystopic. And t seems to coincide with the rise of political correctness. Coincidence?
Michael Lee
>And t seems to coincide with the rise of political correctness. I don't think so. "You get what you earn" stopped working since getting a job by being hooked up was the standard, instead a rare thing.
Camden Baker
>getting a job by being hooked up Not entirely sure what you mean by this.
Anyway, when did this change happen in your view?
Carter Barnes
>the US middle class has in reality had no improvement in living standard for over 20 years I realize we're all LARPing as edgy teens around here parroting each other but this is objectively BS. The composition of the middle class may have changed but the living standards across all classes in the US and practically everywhere in the world has improved over the last 2 decades.
Dylan Cook
Sorry, not my moother language. I refer to that kind of situation where do you get the job because you're a relative of the person who contracts you, from a friend to a son, so whatever. That kind of situation in a lot of fields has turnt into the standard making the only preparated people in disadvantage.
I couldn't say where it got the rule specifically, but I would say around the 90? I don't know.
Aiden Jackson
>I refer to that kind of situation where do you get the job because you're a relative of the person who contracts you, from a friend to a son, so whatever. Ah yes, nepotism. And yes there is a lot of it. last time I lost my job and had to look into these things I read that 80 percent of all job offers were never made public but rather were made through networks and personal connections.
>but this is objectively BS I like when things are objective. Cite?
Kayden Wright
>through networks and personal connections. LinkedIn is supposed to polish that rough, but I don't think it does that much.
Robert Murphy
>Cite? The onus is on the original claimant to support his assertion. FWIW though, here's some subjectivity. I'm 40 years old and I've lived/worked all over the US and Canada in the last 20 years. People have more shit, nicer shit, better healthcare with better outcomes, longer lives, more consumer choice, ubiquitous communication and internet access, more fuel efficient and comfortable cars, better access to education especially via the net, and on and on and on. I remember 1997 quite well and I assure you 2017 is better in practically every way I can think of. Even things like AIDS which used to be a death sentence now is just an inconvenience. Hep C has been cured. That didn't used to be the case. 20 years ago, I had to leave the house to make money. Now I just run a bunch of affiliate sites and trade bitcoins all day and make 10 times as much as I ever did busting my ass. Life is so comfy in the first world, people now have to sit around and invent problems to be mad about. This is a golden age for people who can see it what it is. Or just sit around and be "depressed" and let others have all the fun.
Robert Watson
>The onus is on the original claimant to support his assertion. That's me. And here is one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-class_squeeze Googling Middle class stagnation gives you a lot. You will find some claims the squeeze started more tan 40 years ago. >FWIW though, here's some subjectivity. I'm 40 years old and I've lived/worked all over the US and Canada in the last 20 years. People have more shit, nicer shit, better healthcare with better outcomes, longer lives, more consumer choice, ubiquitous communication and internet access, more fuel efficient and comfortable cars, better access to education especially via the net, and on and on and on. That is the result of increased productivity having continued while purchasing power has not. >I remember 1997 quite well and I assure you 2017 is better in practically every way I can think of. Even things like AIDS which used to be a death sentence now is just an inconvenience. Hep C has been cured. That didn't used to be the case. I can agree that medical tech is improving. Much is well under the radar for most people but I am grateful that at least some is generally visible. I just hope that people will one day understand the advantage of investing in R&D. >20 years ago, I had to leave the house to make money. Now I just run a bunch of affiliate sites and trade bitcoins all day and make 10 times as much as I ever did busting my ass. While I appreciate you have had success, that is a personal issue of a person growing up, moving up and reaping the results of education, experience and work. The middle class squeeze is more than that, it is about the entire middle class as a whole. Looking at a cohort ageing will be misleading. >Life is so comfy in the first world, people now have to sit around and invent problems to be mad about. This is a golden age for people who can see it what it is. Or just sit around and be "depressed" and let others have all the fun. I can agree with much about that.
Camden Stewart
Fair enough user. I'll look into it.
Liam Lopez
>Life is so comfy in the first world, people now have to sit around and invent problems to be mad about. This is a golden age for people who can see it what it is. Or just sit around and be "depressed" and let others have all the fun.
I'm agree with that (the Holo user) I don't know how the fuck people gets themselves involved into ALL of drama. I can understand some single issues, but the amount of drama nowadays is fucking unbelievable.
Mason Rivera
I like your comment about the golden age. Stagnation does not mean we have less, just that we do not get a share of the general growth in prosperity.
Looking back, bordering on nostalgia here, it could be argued that the 60's was a golden age. Growth was rapid and breakthroughs were impressive, from DR-71 to the space race. Then something odd happened. While SR-71 took just a few years to make operational the F-35 has gone off the rails and is a project dog quite in the opposite philosophy of Kelly Johnson. There are also many other examples. So what went wrong? I have no idea.
Isaac James
How does one get started with affiliate sites? I'm tired of wageslaving.
Connor Brown
Way too many larpers in this thread
Dylan Smith
Make a blog a out some normie shit like sports or hiking or something. Post on it a few times so it looks like it has some age. Note this blog is just for show so they'll know you're serious. Then apply to any big ecommerce site like eBay or Amazon. Tell them you want to be an affiliate and show them your blog. They approve you and you get a referral id you can append to any page on their site. Now the hard part. Get traffic and direct them to whoever you're shilling for. I make a few grand a week doing exactly that. You can get traffic from twitter, facebook, your own sites, PBNs, you name i
