chanserv was just killed on freenode and was advising people to drop their accounts if they value their data not being acquired by the takeover

amazing to go through this much effort for so little data
<kode54>
well, email addresses and channel associations, but that's not much

[freenode] <tpw_rules> whitequark: apparently random Q: what country is that server hosted in?
<whitequark>
tpw_rules: Singapore
<whitequark>
for... historical reasons
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <tpw_rules> ah. for Reasons our campus has started blocking IPs from semi-arbitrary countries and i was surprised to see it load
<whitequark>
huh
<cr1901>
whitequark: Tyvm
<cr1901>
andlabs: I don't run it
<andlabs>
oh another floppy disk archival thing
<andlabs>
lots of them to get :D

And with that... I am fully migrated (well, until the channels who haven't migrated decide what to do)
<Lord_Nightmare>
@foone I think that roland midi thing you tweeted about might be the roland licensed version of the brother MOERO thing, but i'm not sure.
<Lord_Nightmare>
the brother thing has the most bizarre floppy controller ever: an 8051 connected to the floppy control lines, doing single sided FM in what amounts to software/firmware
<Lord_Nightmare>
the mask 8051 is masked "MOERO"
<Lord_Nightmare>
hence why i call it that
<Lord_Nightmare>
i'm wondering if the roland thing isn't the same, since a gotek would probably choke on the bizarre brother format
<Lord_Nightmare>
unless someone replaced the drive with a gotek and it doesn't actually work at all :P
<andlabs>
cr1901: I'd have waited until everyone hops over tbh
<andlabs>
but also I'd have stuck around to avoid the channel being taken over
<andlabs>
eh
<cr1901>
Oh I'm in the freenode room, the bot doesn't show joins

(though yes the powerbook g3 trackpad was also bizarre, probably just as bizarre as this, but then you see the rounded touchpad area...)
<cr1901>
andlabs: I know
<cr1901>
(about "all three")
<cr1901>
But almost certainly one or the other will become the new home
<andlabs>
fair
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <tpw_rules> i have a laptop with a perfectly circular trackpad
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <tpw_rules> if you run your finger in a ring around the edge it scrolls
<andlabs>
I could swear there were some SPARC-based laptops like that
<andlabs>
with that kind of trackpad
<andlabs>
but I can never find them anymore :(
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <tpw_rules> it's a toughbook that's i guess like a lite model
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <tpw_rules> cf-y4 or so?
<whitequark>
tpw_rules: wonder what kind of internal coordinate system it has
<whitequark>
like, that's derived from the electrode layout, right?
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <tpw_rules> i don't really know how they work
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <cr1901_modern> toughbooks have a loyal following
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <cr1901_modern> wouldn't be surprised if there was a website dedicated to their inner workings
<sorear>
so, a laptop with an original ipod control interface? nanoraptor must have done that at least once
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <tpw_rules> i'm not sure what the marketing deal with it was but it wasn't like a Toughbook, it just said so. it seemed pretty wimpy compared to the real ones but it did survive me stepping on it so
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <cr1901_modern> Nanoraptor loves the idea of CRTs whose screens are _not_ rectangles
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <tpw_rules> oh did they make that horrible performa motherboard
<NiGHTS>
[freenode] <cr1901_modern> Somehow I don't think I want to know
