Has VeilidChat (or anything else running on top of Veilid) been released? The page for that ( https://veilid.com/chat/ ) says its code will be released “in the coming weeks”; the whole Veilid site looks unchanged since its initial publication back in 2023. Edit: ah, some bouncing around through their FAQs found a repo for it that has commits within the last week/month: https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilidchat - looks lik…

unfortunately most of their up to date documentation is on discord. there is a channel there with a list of active projects. this one caught my eye: https://github.com/cmars/distrans/

There's more than a little irony in a group complaining about the commercialization of the Internet putting documentation/information on Discord

My friend pulled a similar prank on me a few years earlier than that. Involved different tech like BBS software, ZMODEM file transfer, and Sound Blaster command line utilities but same effect. I nearly died.

He was a pioneer :D The granddaddy of us script kiddies. The BBS door game Legend of the Red Dragon ( https://legendreddragon.net/ ) was how I learned about everything from protocols to sex to RPGs. Such an innocent time. The media was afraid of Doom corrupting the youth.

I was curious about how you'd learn about sex in an RPG and followed your link (it's a slow day :) ).

This is hilarious, and reasonable tasteful, all things considered:

> documentation on discord Disgusting. I have been looking for solid example code to play with building stuff on top of Veilid, but I’m absolutely unwilling to waste time on that shit chat platform tbh.

Not sure how up to date these are, but they also have docs hosted at https://veilid.com/docs/

The internet was different back then. We used to put trojans into image files which we distributed through a fake dating site peofile. For shits and giggles. We never did anything “serious” just stupid things like opening CD rom drives or moving their mouse around. We’d UDP “nuke” teacher computers. We’d use open networks, and download warez… all sort of silly stuff. Looking back on it… well a lot of it obviously was…

It's just a different kind of bullying.

Labeling practical jokes as bullying really kind of waters down the idea of actual bullying, where emotional or physical harm is caused to someone over a long period of time. Let's not let bullying be the new "trauma."
