What is the etiquette for sharing your santee's address when having something made by a 3rd party that is NOT Amazon?

I have no idea if the dealio I sent counts as a dealio sent. The fermented fish is going to be a total bust, customs took my second try and emailed me a stern letter

Having trouble picking between two gift ideas.

One is booze and one is based on some post from some time ago. Have a goon idea for the booze but the other gift based on one post doesn't really lend to modification.

Any advice?

I got my gift from Optimus_Rhyme and I am pretty stunned! Thank you very much.

Buckle up because this is a journey.

So right here I already recognize the distinct cover of "The Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters". Mrs Syntaxrigger watched me open the box and enforced the rules of the envelopes because I was excited to see what else was in the box.


Contents of the first envelope. That card had me legit nostalgic. My wife also loved it. These stickers are dope as hell. Did you really go to defcon? I both want to put them on everything, and am afraid to use them. A dilemma I find with most cool things that are one time uses.


Still eager to see what is in the box and also wrapped up in the nostalgia of these card graphics. Wait what did that say?!? ...is that... never mind lets see what else is in the box!


There she is! A legit piece of internet history right there. I never grabbed a copy, not sure if I'll be able to get through it but I know I won't be getting rid of it. Thank you!


Some slick stickers and legit Hackers prop ID card. That is pretty rad! Wonder who's sig that is


I often wonder if I would enjoy my career more if I went down the system admin/pen testing route rather than the programming route. Then I remember that a lot of system admins I know of are alcoholics and I am a paranoid enough dude as it is so maybe it was for the best. Still excited to see what is in this hacker quarterly zine.


Never read this book but it seems neat. Trying to disconnect from the internet more often and read more so this will definitely get a look see.


Lol This is pretty funny. This game sounds vaguely familiar. I may have to add my own swamp man clan to the list, nothing else feels like it fits. Maybe vacation dad. Rules are pretty concise now just to find friends to play with :smith:


Wait...what is this? Wait a minute.....what did I read before?


Well gently caress me....
:goonsay: CrashOverride/ZeroCool said that when AcidBurn booted him out of OTV.


That winamp skin lol


This thing has a ton of cyberpunk games and songs from ALL of the hackers soundtracks AND a "legit" windows 95 install that I have yet to boot. That was my legit first OS until I installed Crusader No Regret and somehow borked the family computer. I was banned from it for a while. That computer was a pretty big purchase for us heh. This thing is like a nostalgia bomb and I love it :swoon: I am flirting with the idea of doing some sort of lets play of the games on it but in some sort of 80s/90s way. Like maybe it would be a video of the screen instead of a capture card. Like if a lets player traveled back in time Captain N style but could still somehow post to modern youtube/twitch. It is a fun idea but reeks of :effort:

It is a YOSMAS Miracle! I thought the YOSTOP was dead or lost to time. I will take good care of her, thank you again. Mrs Syntaxrigger loves it as well. She said she would love to use it until I reminded her that it would be pretty slow. Still she is happy to have it in the house :)

fake edit: She is already giving me sass. If I need the password for anything feel free to PM me. I restarted and am able to get in again. Empty password doesn't seem to work. Also not sure if I should connect this thing to the internet or not. Right now I am going with not.

Glad you like it. Check the back of the card for some more nostalgia. Getting Print Shop to work in miniVmac and then print to PS and exporting it was fun, and if anyone want Christmas cards made lemme know.

The password is YOSPOS lowercase, I think. That or yosmas, I dont remember but lowercase.

Yes, I taught a workshop and spoke at defcon 27.

I would LOVE a let's play of the games, especially the johnny mnemonic, 80s style. Burn:Cycle is a thing.

Also, that's not THE yostop, I dont think, someone gave me that last year and I rebuilt it and put those games and soundtracks on there.

Did you read the note that came with it?

I have I just didn't take a picture because I couldn't get all the good stuff in one photo. When I first opened it Libre Office was like "do you want to recover previous state" and I was like drat I sure hope "previous state" wasn't the whole loving file.

I haven't watched the Hope conference yet
