Humphreys: Jan 26, 2013; We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule

Pretty good posted:

That was probably an automatic thing; you can choose to have a message pop up when someone who isn't sharing anything tries to grab your stuff.

The real dicks are people who hoard rare/obscure stuff and leave their shares visible, but refuse to let you grab anything unless you have something they want to trade for. There's one particular 80s JP smooth jazz album I've been trying to find for like five years and literally the only place I've found any trace of it is this one rear end in a top hat on soulseek with a cartoonishly hostile bio who blocked me when I messaged him asking if he could please help me out.

I just googled 'soulseek trade only bio' to try to assess how common a phenomenon this is, and it was this exact guy lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/Soulseek/comments/kwoatw/how_i_scammed_one_of_the_biggest_trade_only_users/

Assholes, assholes everywhere!
In small world internet, while fixing my Laserdisc player I was chatting to a mate on FB for tips and to see if he had any spare belts. At the same time a replacement guide on reddit was on my screen linking to a youtube video... made by my mate I was chatting to.

God I have spent the past day trying to make a new Classic WorkBench 3.1 setup for my Amiga 1200. It's been head against wall annoying, since the original 3.1 install I did with WinUAE went so well years ago.

It appears any version of WinUAE since 4.0 have issues with mounting CF cards, so you need to use a 3.x version. Then it was the case that the DH0 on the hard file and DH0 on the CF card kept tripping one another up. Plus other bullshit like Windows just randomly disconnecting the CF card, making me having to repeat some of the process. Been so frustrating!

I have never worn a grounding strap while working on hardware, but I do make sure that I touch something that can earth out any static in my body, like a tap, before touching things.

Plus Adrian is a such a nicely spoken guy, it's hard to get angry at him

I think he addressed this in one video that he has a strap on his ankle. Could have been someone else though. I'm pretty sure Dave from EEVBlog uses the ankle method.

I had torgo@_myschool_.edu. And I mean my address was literally "torgo", it's not standing in for my real name. I got multiple emails from random people asking about Mystery Science Theater 3000. I suppose that's better than snagging a fairly common name and getting tons of email for other people or offers/threats from some one that wants your address.

When they presumably upgraded something? and I stopped getting e-mail entirely, I reached out to IT department to get it fixed and they almost literally said "your account is expiring soon since you are transferring to another school and we absolutely are not interested in fixing your damage"
