Hey sorry to not post any content but I’m looking for a tweet someone made a year or so ago that was a template for how to tell an emotional friend you were “at capacity” of fucks to give like some kind of robot

Anyone able to find that or have an idea what to search for?

Well, it's a step forward in that it grabs the subtitles, but it doesn't capture the actual video content, somehow.

it'd probably work if i switched to firefox or something but tbh the effort it took to create the lovely four panel helped justify its existence

I have used IRC a lot and still use it. Some communities that have always been there don't really like to move to more modern places.

I never used DCC or filesharing bots though so my explanation here will have some guesses on that part.

So, at its core, IRC is a distributed chat network. In fact, there are many such IRC networks. Each IRC network consists of one or more IRC servers that run an IRC server software, meaning that people can connect to them with IRC clients and chat to each other. Every server can have many different chat rooms (channels) such as #somethingawful, #weird_pr0n_discussion and #computer_help. Private message rooms are also available. Servers have administrators that do technical maintenance and ban spammers and stuff - but channel also have their own individual moderators so channel rules are often more specific than server rules.

Of course, if you let thousands of people use the same IRC server it gets sluggish. So usually you hook a bunch of IRC servers together, hosted all over the world, making an IRC network. The server admins together form the network administration team, and any chat message posted to a channel gets automatically sent to the same channel in all other servers, as if everyone is connected through the same single server. People are often evenly distributed across the servers in a network by having the URL round-robin through them as people connect.

It's good to realize that IRC networks are often run by volunteers, and that two separate IRC networks are not connected in any way. Only the servers within an IRC network are connected. So, a channel #somethingawful on the Libera network wouldn't be connected to a channel #somethingawful on EFnet.


Then, IRC bots. IRC bots are programs that run like clients and show up as regular users on an IRC server. You can send them commands and they will react as programmed. For instance you got bots that can store funny quotes and you can ask them to send a quote from its database.

Since people don't usually have a stable enough home connection, IRC bots like that are usually run from some online server. Not from an IRC server, mind you, just from a machine that is set up to act like an IRC client. But since it's on a hosting platform somewhere in the ~~cloud~~ you call it a server. I don't make the rules.

You could theoretically run a bot as an IRC server and connect it to the network. In fact this is commonly done for a group of very special bots called "services". They take care of stuff like nickname registration so that randos can't take your nickname when you're out. Since they need direct access to the IRC server backend to block nicknames they do need this server access.

And this is where a bit of guesswork comes in.

I believe those warez bots are/were bots of the first type - the one that act like regular users. They run on a server on some hosting platform - but that server does not just host the bot IRC client software but also a bunch of warez files. When you request a file through an IRC message over a network, the bot sets up a DCC connection with you. Direct-client-connect, completely bypassing the server. DCC was invented to have direct messaging for people who don't have IRC networks in common. But someone found out that you can use these direct messages to encode files and send those over the network. So it sends the file from the bot's server directly to you, without the IRC network being involved.

This, theoretically means that no files ever go over the IRC network itself, meaning that if the FBI comes snooping they won't find anything except for file requests and will have a harder time proving that files were actually sent.

I think the transfer speed is just limited by your and the bot's internet connection.

So the file sending is "peer to peer" but only in the sense that the other peer is always the same bot, so it's basically just a centralized download, but in the olden days a bit harder to track by authorities than a regular website.

The gunshot sound effects in Paper Planes are actually taken from Street Fighter, according to Diplo. The cocking sound effect is a single-action revolver, probably a Colt SAA, from a Hollywood Edge SFX library.

The easier way to do this, FWIR, is to just jack up the rear legs of the table so the ball drains down the playfield faster. Both ways will cause more wear & tear to the machines than their spec. Most here ITT probably know this, but to the uninitiated it's often a surprise how much regular maintenance goes into mechanical arcade games. They get beaten up.

Better yet, what if you fart accidentally, avert your eyes in utter shame and then leave the shop at high speed with each step producing a little prrt noise of decreasing volume and duration, if not odour? That'd be the real pro alpha move right, people definitely wouldn't be thinking and laughing about it years later, especially at 3 in the mornING
