Is Geekhack down?

[Belfong]

It's down again!

Oh! Hi again!

[JackMills]

Just wanted to post a reply on GH and it is down again

[7bit]

Ok all, we can stop hiding, they're gone now.

What a relief!


I like when they log in, pm the bot and log off again.


But those people hanging around here, is too much for my nerves!

[webwit]

Quick, back in the secret club room!

Afraid the drama is contagious?

[7bit]

I'm running!

We shouldn't post here otherwise the topic will get on top!

IMav killed it again...

[Muirium]

I bet the real problem is all those giant avies and lengthy sigs. Too much weight on the erase head. Can't fit it all in 640 KB. Swap is the devil!

Someone fine-tuned that cassette player in an attempt to load a bad cassette, and do you know how hard it is to tune it exactly back to its original setting?

Keyboard communities...

And it's back.

I'm so lucky, here at DT we have 2 tape drives:

Please notice the modern equipment we use!


Meanwhile over at GH:

[Muirium]

We take our mainframes just as seriously as you think, folks.

[ماء]

muri u just stay here?

[Muirium]

Yup. I've complained several times (when prompted) about what I don't like about GH's visual format and particular culture. I'm happy DT exists and is just the way I like it.

And to each, his own.

You know, this makes me wonder if I can hook a R2R to my 5150 or VIC-20 or whatnot. Questions, questions, questions.

[Muirium]

Exactly. We're lucky to have both forums. Most of the time…

The maintenance I read of was done already afaik. Also more than 12h downtime for maintenance?

Edit: Nobody reads the threads about scheduled maintenance, huh ... except Bluebär.

That wasn't a maintenance downtime, just FYI. Someone at the datacenter screwed up I guess.

So 7bit was right.

A chicken pulled out the tape at the farmhouse (pictured), where the server is located.

Sure, why not ... just turn off Dolby and other compression methods.

Useless trivia lesson:
Reel-to-reel, by the way, beats MP3 when it comes to storing audio-encoded digital data. MP3 introduces artefacts that may render the recording unusable (i.e., it can't be restored to the device because of the mangled audio stream).

[Muirium]

The difference between psychoacoustics and actual acoustics…

I wonder if they have one at TNMOC (they have a straight 8). I'll take my colour ring.

[fohat]

Here is what you need: a 5 meg hard drive, circa 1956.

[Compgeke]

I've seen the platters on one of those spin up at the CHM in Mountain View. Surprisingly quiet.

[pasph]

Down again...

[bueller]

I must keep missing the uptime, it seems like it's been down for days

I wanna bump my clack trade thread hahaha
