Good old bash.org vibes.
Never seen that website before but lost myself reading random pastas there for a while.
Thanks!
I used to check it when it was active and they were adding things to the Top 100-200 quotes, and now I check it for nostalgia. Still makes me laugh all these years later.
Nailed it
huh?
I’m guessing that link is still blue for you
I'm very confused by the site, is it just people posting fake conversations?
These are old IRC chats, a kind of Hall of Shame for public conversations... before social media really perfected the art.
Pretty sure it was supposed to be funny chatroom logs?
The joke was that if you typed your password into chat, then chat would add ***** for everyone else but still show you your own password.
So for instance if I type my password out ******** it will show as just *s to you because it's auto censored by the system since it's my password. But it wont censor it for me since it knows that I already know my own password. You can test it by typing out your password. You'll see your own password but everyone else will just see *'s
99% of entries there are faked.
They make me laugh though.
No… That’s not true. That’s impossible!
I'd be inclined to agree.... But I've had conversations like these, if not publicly.
This one about not being able to find a machine (http://bash.org/?5273) is relatable if you've ever had to trace cable in a rat's nest of a server closet.
