wondering the same here

two days? Shit's been wobbly since the 27th.

According to their twatter they are getting LOIC'd hard, but after this much time, on a platform as sizable as CN's, I find that hard to believe. Also, they only annoinced issues 18 hours ago. No idea what the fuck is going on over there.

also, miss mash mentioned something about "scheduled database upgrades" inbetween bouts of dead air. funny how they didn't announce them.

I almost like Ars better, but they seem to be steering more and more into political territory. Is there a site with extensive TECH news anywhere or do I just have to hobble together a shitty network of a dozen sites to get a decent impression of the goings on in the world?

there's

news.ycombinator.com/news

but it's kinda dry, and is just a list of links to other websites.

there's soylentnews.org/ , but it just looks like a clone of slashdot, with different editors.

Check out Soylent News, it's the spiritual successor of Slashdot. They forked the original slashcode and have made a lot of improvements.

soylentnews.org

arse technica is a sister site to Kotaku, has many of the same articles, and suffers from that obtrusive shove-this-shit-in-your-face design. at least on slashdot you can set the sliders to not display the trumptard and NIGGER spam.

>>soylentnews
>>soy
lol :D

it took me two years of posting smart-ass cultural references to get enough karma on slashdot to be allowed to turn off the ads. i'm not looking forward to going through the grind again on soylent.

And Ars is way too political/lifestyle-y compared to Slashdot. I stopped going to Ars when it became the tech version of Vice

Ars is shit

most children below the age of sixteen haven't seen that film. a lot of them don't even understand why "soyboy" is an insult.

>falling for the soy meme

ars is mostly big pictures and ads for video cards. it's odd considering a technology website for illiterats.

>they are getting LOIC'd hard
>LOIC
Wow it's like I'm really on Sup Forums years ago surrounded by retards who think LOIC is synonymous with DDoS or even relevant

as i said, most children haven't seen charlton heston being scooped up in a dumptruck along with a crowd of other people.

if you don't think a DDOS is relevant, then i invite you to try to log in to slashdot.

Sup Forums ruined this site.

Opinion or fact? Cause Ars and The Verge have a lot of media clout unfortunately so more often than not they're the first to report shit. They also aggregate tons of bullshit but it's easy enough to sift through.

Provide better alternatives instead of being a passive aggressive soyboy.

The idea of "containment" boards ruined this site. Shitty communities attract more shitty people who add more festering shit which overflows into other areas. Sup Forums should be banned and the roaches forced to scatter

>I can't read: the post

Is it any good? I understand the premise but I haven't watched the movie.

It's shit

It's schlock, and schlock is barely tolerable when it's contemporary. Decades old schlock is a complete waste of time.

Perhaps it's your ad blocker. Works fine here.

>march 01

given that it was made in 1973, it's pretty good. i laughed when i saw the rich woman playing an actual computer game in her own home - it was "Space Wars". such imagination! imagine being able to play games on a computer IN YOUR OWN HOUSE.

o the burden of being you. such pain. (nails hand to forehead)

my original point was that it's three days later and that is STILL the front page. also, last week i could log in with my adblocker on full and there were no problems. now we get a 502 error, service unavailable.

I'm gonna provide you my dick for you to suck, you sassy Purch media fuckwad.

Fucking nasty little soyboy, fuck my ass.

Sourceforge project pages are down. Was curious if there’s any connection. I never realized how much I rely on sourceforge.

It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Slashdot is dying.

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Slashdot community when posters confirmed that the site had not been updated since March 1 and that much of the functionality (including login) was broken. Coming on the heels of a yet another slew of Social Justice Warrioring posts about women in tech, this news serves to reinforce what we’ve known all along. Slashdot is collapsing in complete disarray.

You don’t need to be the Amazing Kreskin to predict Slashdot’s future. The handwriting is on the wall: Slashdot faces a bleak future. In fact there won’t be any future at all for Slashdot, because Slashdot is dying. Things are looking very bad for Slashdot. As many of us are already aware, Slashdot continues to lose readership. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

>source: Sup Forums-like alt-facts site

I'm sorry that you're so new to Sup Forums that LOIC is a new concept to you and is not yet synonymous with DDoS, but you really should lurk more before you post to avoid looking like an idiot.

Back to twitter with you faggot.

Ever since what happened to Sup Forums in 2015, I don't care what happens to any site

>butthurt bsd fags

You're literally retarded

"being inclusive of all people rather than being inclusive of all ideas" is an idea in itself. what if I made a company that operated on a different idea? these people think they're at the end point of morality, they don't even call their ideas ideas anymore, they think they are being entirely objective. history is over for them, the destiny of the human race is to become robots. anyway my hypothetical company would fail, you know why? because it's not the smart capitslistic way to do things. these diversity and inclusion sjw shitheads think they hsve morality, they do not. they have been good strategies for capitalism with global markets. mass immigration is good for nobody but giant corporations, the military industrial complex, and the 1%. ironically leftists don't understand that and they have socialist leanings, which is fucking hilarious. neoliberalism is the greatest cancer of earth

werks on my machine.

it's back up again. according to whipslash, the problem was a DDOS at the Sourceforge level, unfortunately at the same time as a migration to a new server. so all the anonymous cowards can keep posting their usual APPY APP APP APP threads.

APPS!

THE SNARKY BRITS AT EL REG

this

you spelt "slashbot" wrong

Thanks
:^)

El reg is the only decent tech site

This is new

Thanks for the information. I’m so glad sourceforge is back too. I never realized how much I depend on them for work.

but it's british

It's objectively shit

lol

What the fuck, actually looks like olden day Slashdot in quality

Exactly

meta.slashdot.org/story/18/03/04/0428237/slashdot-outage-update

>news.ycombinator.com/news
just stay away from the comments there, because they're cancer. bunch of uptight assholes that beat each other off for being "smart" silicon valley startup bros.

the tech memes there are also worse than on Sup Forums, because they refuse to acknowledge they're even memes.

it's been shit for years.

bullshit, ars is apolitical.

Moot tried that. He made Sup Forums unusable to run them off. Instead of leaving Sup Forums, the folks from Sup Forums scattered all over Sup Forums, turning every board into hell.

>newfags complaining about Sup Forums instead of Sup Forums, the board that actually started the whole "containment board" trend
Yo morons, have you thought about the fact that maybe online communities in general are cancer? You're never gonna get rid of those roaches, nor achieve any kind of online forum panacea, and 'containment boards' are the least worst compromise so far between having idiots running around all over the place, and full out heavy-handed moderation. If any of you are seriously in favor banning that shit outright, you're just a bunch of whiny closet authoritarians that don't know what you're wishing for, because literally ALL online communities suck. Even oldschool BBSes and usenet groups. Deal with it.

it's shit

>found the soyboi faggot nigger

Slashdot has been shit since the early 00's, since it went commercial.

It did actually had decent articles about modding, 0days, crack breakdowns and analysis.

Slashdot went commercial and then we had hackaday, then hackaday went the same way and now i can't find anything of the same quality.

There are good forums, but it was always nice to have a site to visit that worked as a news aggregator.

Kill yourself

BOFH stories are always good.

...

>hn
Only newest, don't ever read comments.

LOIC is synonymous with DDoS regardless of the method, which for right now for serious attacks is almost always botnet + amplification.

wording this
but even then a lot of threads now are really fucking shit and barely tech related

Literally who fucking cares? Slash what? That site died the day CdrTaco sold the bitch. Fuck the shitskin cocksuckers that took it over. Haven't visited it in years and give zero fucks.

Thanks for taking to time to read and reply to a thread about something you give zero fucks about
