NOSTALGIA

I remember Ebaums World stealing a video I made.

Are there any interactive things like this currently going on?

Cheap wine is fucking pleb too, but it still works.

...

Today vs back then.

Moralfag = SJW.

Ebaums World = 9gag.

Gaia = Reddit.

Myspace = Facebook.

/i/ = /baphomet/

Atheism = Far right wing ideologies.

The list goes on.

I miss /i/

Who remembers?

Remember sharing files through FTP servers, IRC and usenet before P2P networks?

...

...

...

...

Oh please, some things should just stay forgotten.

...

I'm glad that napster died. It taught everyone that centralized servers were bad.

In 2000, we got freenet, gnutella and BitTorrent. seems like we stopped there. Why haven't we made more progress on decentralized P2P networks?

...

Ah, youtube before the fuckups. Made an acount in 2007, holy shit and it got banned because young me though clickbating for views was a good idea, I used a naked chick's pic as a thumbnail (censored the nipples so it would be safe) and had to crop it 0.01s in the middle of the video cause back then you couldn't just select the thumbnail, it was peasantry work to make it work.

I used to use Yahoo Messenger, but it's pretty much the same feel.

Back in the day I was in a huge city wide LAN connection which would grant us something like 100 Mbps speeds intra-city which was insane at that time, it is even now in a lot of places and the ISP had its own ODC server and a FTP server that you could access only through LAN. This was early 2000s, shit was cash.

Anyone here remember the Dial-up times, trying to get online for just a while and searching for any website link you've see IRL? This before your parents caught you because the phone wouldn't work? Shit was cash too.

There's no more progress to be made. The endgame has already been reached and it has yet to be stomped out by the corporate overlords. I'd say we are still winning.

It was there but it wasn't the edgy internet thing that it is today those people were mostly looked at as bigoted white trash.

People like Evalion would probably have Atheist videos had it been 10 years ago.

I forgot an important one.

Furfags = Horsefuckers.

...

...

Normies just stream music and movies, no reason for them to use peer 2 peer networks.

They've already won.

I remember watching my brother play ragnarok online a dial up computer then 8 years later I started playing cabal it was my first mmo.

What could we do with P2P networks when homomorphic encryption is a thing?

the distinct taste of plastic water in the summer

shit dick

Ah the good old days. When botnets and spyware was kept to a minimum.

best shit ever.. weird to use, but I swear you found EVERYTHING when it comes to music . albeit the most rare stuff was slower to download, but still…

Amazing for weeabo stuff back then..

fun fact: the kazaa devs went on to make more spyware, skype

back when sites made in this thing were cool as fuck

...

used to use this instead of the original kazaa client

I still use it.. actually I still use the classic client instead of the new QT one

most influential browser

I remember playing spongebob in (2002-ish) on nickelodeon. I was 10 back then. Anyone have any screen caps of anything like that?

Try using the wayback machine

web.archive.org/web/20020328190411/http://www.nick.com/

as the default behavior was to send messages letter by letter this made you really good at fast thinking/writing

...

cool numbers, nice post
i can almost taste it

All Seeing Eye?

...

...

Remember microsoft comic chat?

When I was about 8 years old, I remember someone spamming CP to me on that.

first version of it I used.. it was like 10 years or more ahead it's time, way superior to netscape to be honest, first and only browser with tabs for many years.. I preferred having IE/Opera than IE/Netscape

thanks

...

with this thing you could finally write and search on the internet in weeabo on win9x

(barth em)

you probably are like 16 or something

also not proper tabs, it was MDI if you want to be more precise

...

10/10

having one of these meant you were serious about your tv (yes I know there were better and more hi end tvs, but still everyone wanted to have one of these)

...

SHREK

TAKES ME BACK

...

I have more money than my peers so I'm going to show everyone how this box gives me HBO

Haven't got any images but who else remembers
green-and-white computer printer paper?

...

This stuff

17 years old and still works

IIRC the driver holes on the edges were perforated so that
a) they could be removed
b) the printer would jam if the perforations started to detach while feeding through

That paper was a weird size, not A4, A3, quarto or foolscap, it was also horrendously expensive, so anyone pressing 'Scroll' or 'Paper Feed' would be in for an ass-kicking.

what is this shit?

I work at a place that STILL uses this stuff,fucking backward ass company stuck in the past.

...

Fucking magnets.

I miss his old videos sometimes

God, back in the day before games were shit.

the thread were we pretend to be reverse-amish people

The dankest browser of the late 90s.

...

Surprise surpise, he's "not making videos anymore". Again.

What piss poor reason is he using this time?

He's transitioning

Worlds not worth living anymore.

Good for him. I figured spending that much time doing 'research' on tumblr shit would affect him.

...

Who the fuck is this guy and should I care?

Jewtuber gaymer attention whore.
If you don't know ME than you don't know MEME :^)

>GamerGate
Shows how well you know him

You must be some kinda meme theorist tell me more about your knowledge of meme kings such as JCMM.

He was there before gamergate

So he didn't create his account for gamergate, He merely used it as a tool for gaining attention and fame.
I have NEVER seen someone do that before :^)

He actually had his account before that referring to something else then being part of gamergate

...

Use forced anonymity you meme machine

dub

Not me

I remember watching this a bunch of times.

...

YouTube was never good until people like us began shitposting awful videos there.

Do people still use usenet?

4chan in 2006

I miss the 2005-era Internet. Before YT was bought by Jewgle. When everyone went to sites like Newgrounds, YTMND, SomethingAwful before it became something awful

I listen to eurodance when I feel nostalgic, makes me remember of the old web 1.0 days for some reason. Anyone else does that?

Never knew its name or from where to get it, but apparently a lot of users online had it.

Nice. Why not use foobar2000 though?

This game still looked exactly the same on XP.

retexturing the walls to penises was a distinct memory

ah, 2006 - 2008 were good times

Jewtube was fantastic back then. Shittons of pirated animu, movies and tv shows to watch for free, no advertising cuckoldtry, no normalfaggotry from fagbook (like buttons) and the rating system with stars. I remember I watched all naruto episodes back in 2006/07 in jewtube and tons of movies. Shit was cash

I personally also remember my first TOR installation very well. Around 2007 I became a paranoid fellow and installed tor for the first time. God it was so complicated for me back then. You had to install validia and privoxy, then configure your furryfox to work with it and with the TOR application you controlled if you are connected or not.
After hours I got it working and I was proud to see a fake IP when I tested it on one of those IP sites.

I remember around 2010 fagbook started to become really popular. THis was the point of no return. I hope there will be an alternative internet (like the dankweb) for the traditionalists.

...

...

...

...

...

what's up with all the dislikes? I mean the video is somewhat retarded, but not that bad. Also, how did they convert those star ratings to up and down votes?

I thought we were all going to I2P once TPP hits? I wonder what became of that…

lol i remember this, no idea if that's still ongoing though.

tor was considered pretty safe, turns out it wasn't.

What became of TPP btw? I'm not American and there's no mention of it where I'm from…

Nostalgia eh.

France probably won't sign it and it might fail.

We can only hope.

...

wat

salad fingers

No not that, the "moon shoes" one.
Of course I know SF.

That made me think about these. the internet was the fucking wild west in the 90s. I miss it.

Do you guys remember rolling a hoop around with a stick? Those were the good old days eh fellows?

my father did this.
he once told me about it.

...

shit bread is shit

sorry wrong window/bread

newgrounds was a fun place

Doing God's work there user.

converted them ages ago and have been posting them every now and then since

They deserve to be shared, thanks a lot.

I should probably re-encode them in VP9 for an increase in quality, but it takes fucking ages to do and I don't realy feel like doing it manually
have to look up on how to do a bunch of them one after the other with a batch script, but I never get around to doing it
there are too many dank maymays waiting to be created, or something like that

)'=

Fuck quality, the original animator already uploaded them all on YouTube in HD.
You might make them too big for Holla Forums too…

???

2 obscure 5 u

:(

the ones that are under 7MB are pretty good quality and VP9 actually uses less disk space for the same quality through some advanced technomagic, and I use a set of .bat files that calculates the "optimal" bitrate to fit it in 8MB with 5-10% to spare in case the encoding have to overshoot the target bitrate

...

if you are unaware, there used to be a backdoor or wormhole that allowed someone to plant malicious content on Holla Forums through the use of imgur, reddit and 4chan users that browses reddit that was used to DDoS Holla Forums
.swf upload was disabled for a while after that was discovered

Oh nice, I'm not a FFmpeg wizard so that will definitely come in handy.

If it's worth anything, I use WEBM Converter, a semi-automation tool with GUI for FFmpeg. It's for those who hate the command line like me.
github.com/WebMBro/WebMConverter

yeah, my .bat files does all that shit through 4 prompts on the command line
only thing I haven't figured out is how to make it so you can set the desired final filesize
I've also not bothered fixing the error on not entering in a bitrate for audio or entering an invalid bitrate for audio

if I wanna do fancy stuff I just create a new .bat for that specific thing I want to do like this shit which was used to create this webm
ffmpeg -y -loop 1 -i "overlay.png" -i "video.webm" -c:v libvpx -b:v 150k -auto-alt-ref 1 -lag-in-frames 25 -qmin 10 -qmax 50 -crf 16 -quality good -preset veryslow -filter_complex "[1:v]scale=236:236[a];[a]pad=500:480:ow-iw:oh-ih-4,setsar=sar=500/480[b];[b][0:v]overlay=0:shortest=1[video]" -map "[video]" -map 1:a -c:a libvorbis -b:a 64k output.webmpause

I use WEBM Converter or that. Maybe you can contact the guys behind it and ask about the specific command or w/e?

...

YAY UR BACK

It's only targeted at industrial IP theft, not at autistic teenagers sharing fanart of random shit

it's not that hard, I have it commented out in the .bat files I posted earlier although now that I think about it the part where the calculation happens doesn't have the bit with the desired filesize in it because the script wouldn't work if it did
it's just that I haven't fully wrapped my head around why it doesn't work even though it should
just have to bang my head against the wall untill I see the matrix

I really really really

or I could just download it and open it up and look at their code
that's also an option, but what would I learn from that?

You can't just "learn" code, right?
I mean you just see how it's done somewhere and memorize it, coz you can bang your head against the wall for days and not come up with anything.

naah, you can learn it by trying
obviously you have to look up how to do things, the name of the commands and the syntax, but after a while you start "seeing" how things work as if they were old timey mechanical machines with moving parts redundant I know
the people that write all the coding languages are people like everybody else and think more or less the same way but with slight deviances from each other, like they might name things to do a certein thing differently or reverse the order in which you have to enter stuff in from what would seem most logical
like for exampel if you want to replace one thing with another, you would think you enter what you want to replace and then what to replace it with, but some schmuck thinks it's a great idea to have you specify what replaces the thing you want to have replaced first and then what to be replaced

anyway, at the point where you start seeing how things work is when you start learning and you take it from there by experimenting and trying you way forwards

I was mainly talking about new commands that one doesn't know yet, but what you said makes sense… I guess that's just being "in control" of your coding language.

"my mom said I'm not aloud to get wet"
Oh yea? Go fuck yourself and take a load from my supersoaker bitch. I think the main reason for this socjus faggotry is that these kids never went outside and experience what its like to actually be a kid. Instead they stay in all day and get some type of faux asperges but with them being retards online instead of them being natural irl

...

if you know what you want to do you probably know the command without knowing that you do, granted that you've come so far that you have actually started learning or "seeing" the code if you will

I guess you could call it that

O shit nigga you giving me some middle school feels now.
Day of 9/11 was hoping my teacher wouldn't come the next day since her brother worked in the towers, I was a cunt back then too huh

The constitution.

Remember this nostalgic document.
When it used to exist and people used to take it seriously, the country was a better place.

I am the Radiskull, and I will kill you one by one.

Yeh, but then some ex-Germans wanted more stakes in industry and finance, and your daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy let them in.

And now, humans in the postmodern era bend over faster than an Elvish army.

Remember this hit tune?

cool but ewww

I've got an iPhone 4s (as a gift), never gone beyond iOS6. Saw 7 on someone's phone and looked shitty.

You got me

If you are still using an outdated iOS then you should upgrade. gonna get your shit hacked.

...

Isn't that the same argument M$ shills use to get you on W10??

No. Windows 7, 8 and Vista still get security updates. Apple stops support after a few years.

Do you remember when a bunch of sites raided eBaum's World back in January 2006?

...

I may have been young in 2005 but I cried remembering the good ol' days of youtube and the internet

hi friends!

When Holla Forums was actually good

Who had a angelfire or geocities page back in the day?

...

remember when 4chan had a lolikon board?

remember why it was removed?

...

Didn't it have something to do with WT_Snacks?

no, I think the first time was due to a cp tsunami, and the second and final time was because the fbi threatened to sue because constant cp
deleted shota board at the same time

didn't they get transfered to not4chan or something?

Good lord… why do I know this picture? Like, I have no memory of context, but this picture is seared into my mind for some reason. Explain.

And does anyone remember the original FunnyJunk?

...

Sure, old fags still use binaries to share cheese pizza right on the surface web. Other than that, they're fucking useless to anyone who isn't pedoscum.

Omnibus by Lautsprecher is superior.

You remember when SA was relevant, then the mods banned everyone worth a shit and they went and made up the oldfags on halfchan along with rejects from Portal of Evil and Genmay?

Remember when Portal of Evil was a thing and created f/14/cali and pancake bunny, and raided Geoscape/Angelfire/shitty forums sites long before SA did, until Chet and Kthor got real jobs making big bucks at Valve and killed PoE?

Remember when Genmay use to make OC memes that would later be reposted on Holla Forums where they took credit for them, because nobody knew or gave a fuck about their forum?

"I do not feel like teaching today"

Gone concepts

A little older than you, but yes, I know those exact feelings.

My media productions class introduced me to this video. Our first project was to use Windows Movie Maker to edit a bunch of clips, including that one (with the accompanying history) to do shit.

Everytime his stick hit the ground, I spliced in little micro-clips of fireworks to make it seem like a shower of sparks was coming up.

FUCK

Hard to imagine Runescape still kicking. Ive been playing over 10 years, for what reason i keep going i dont know.

Pic related, i grabbed a few from google images since i dont have any screenshots from way back when but you get the idea, runescape has changed a lot.

...

My first torrent site

I think that casino game in the ad space still works

Nearly noone would be playing it though

Legitimate nostalgia.
Start at level 5, goblins level 7, little rats level 2.

same tbh fam

I remember last time I played with emule (which has to be a decade ago) it was flooded with fake stuff and trojans to the point finding something became finding a needle in a haystack.

I don't blame him. Look at Sargon, he made it his job, so he has to go on, but he's not having fun anymore like he used to. He's just angry all the time now. I can't even watch his shit anymore because of it.

I still remember limewire and all the cp

it's still on p2p networks, it's where most CP busts come from

this thread is sad

millennials are fucked up, they are nostalgic about software and websites instead of real things

;;

Wonder how many of these would be needed to load Windows 10?

...

holy shit

good times were had

I don't even think we have many millennials here, most of them are politically correct pussies who stick to normalfag social networks anyway.

Lolwut.

omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/01/photoshop-cs2-available-for-free-works-fine-in-wine

Not sure what the point is user? If you're asking me does it work OK, then the answer is yes it does. I've used it myself, and it also has a Gold rating at WineHQ.

appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2631

None of this shit is nostalgic to me. I thought it was silly then and think it is silly now.

You have to run it on Wine, like all other commercial Windows applications. What's so special about this one?

Nothing, I suppose. Other than it's official Adobe software, not a crack, I mean. And the fact that Photoshop works at all on Linux is at least somewhat notable.

...

There are plenty of security updates that have been done.

I still type Holla Forums.co and it throws me into the index page

Fucking Jewm

I remember people would create these videos with the song "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor".

For some reason every single fucking CS1.6/CS:S server used to have "Down With the Sickness" as their intro song.

...

...

The domain was shut down in 2015, they were able to get it back
