why were they teaching kids how to use mainframe terminals in the 2000's? You'd think you'd teach a kid windows, especially then.

I had a friend in my class who's dad worked for Sun. The old computer lab had Macintosh Classic's, so around the turn of the century I think that Sun wanted to advertise by getting the branding known as quickly as possible. Most of the Sun staff moved to Oracle after they closed down, and I'm pretty sure they took the Sun Ray's out and replaced them with macs again.

Sun made a number of workstations running flavors of Unix (SunOS and later Solaris, which were BSD and Sys/V based respectively), as well as servers including some big(ish) iron and later blades, but nothing that would be really be considered a "mainframe".

On the contrary, Sun's motto for a while was "the network is the computer" - so you'd have services like NFS, YP/NIS, DNS, telnet, rsh, ftp, etc... split across more reasonably priced servers and workstations as opposed to one big massive mainframe with dumb terminals, though dedicated X terminals logging into Sun servers was common.

Overall, very much horizontal scaling. The larger capacity servers would be for running large DBs and maybe web servers with "huge" (for the time) datasets or larger numbers of clients. It was common back then to log into a workstation on the console, then log into the back of other unused workstations to spread your work.


Edit: bonus lore: "Sun" was in fact an acronym, perhaps a backronym - "Stanford University Network". The logo was the characters S, U and N rotated about a central point - a pattern somewhat reminiscent of a certain "naughty windmill".

We had few computers with Windows NT(that or maybe 3.0?) and Netscape as the browser at my first Europoor school.
Pretty sure Internet Explorer came with the 95 system as a freebie to kill off Netscape from the market(?)
Never had a specific laptop assigned to me from any school and we were never allowed to take the school laptops to home when I was older.

Nowadays all my kids have been using school chromebooks for years and they are all specifically assigned to them personally, and +90% of all their homeworks are done with these.

A local government in California decided to dupe a bunch of people for thirty years making them pay a mortgage on a trailer park worth twenty million dollars that turned out to not be a mortgage and now the state is trying to sell the property back to them after admitting the state paid no money for the land or property.

Never trust the government, it's not your friend.

I'm not sure why this is being highlighted now. It looks like the news about this broke two years ago but I guess better now than never. One of the council women,
1756855845111.webp
who was a former mayor of the town that stole from these people, says that she doesn't think it's legal for them to hand over ownership to the people that got fucked over because it would somehow be a distribution of public funds, public funds that were never publicly funded and all paid by the boomers in the trailer park. She also worries how the rest of the community would feel with them giving the boomers what they all fucking paid for. It's never revealed who left the community out of the mortgage deal and I doubt we'll ever know who changed the documents, if they were changed in the first place and not just signed as "The City of Navato and not those other people lol" in the first place. These old people are going to lose everything while the city shrugs and says "Welp! Nothing to be done now! I guess you can pay us another 20 million, idiots." Even if the courts somehow take their side over the side of the government it will take years if not a decade for it to get through litigation and appeals and the city has limitless money and can just evict them in the meantime. It's a little nice to know that boomers, who are protesting very nicely, politely, and a few wearing face diapers that they're about to lose everything are not immune from government corruption and life ruination from the very people they voted for. Not a single one of them brought rope or a brick to chuck at fucking smug Susan's face when she took off her glasses because she was so shocked and amazed that these people dared to question her stance. Maybe next election they can finally vote in someone who's different from the past TWENTY YEARS of people they voted in. Sing them another song to end your protest of them stealing 20 million and your homes from you, fucking hippy dipshits.

RPReplay_Final1756783040.movAnus interrupts Ian’s stream again to shove her cookies into the camera. Ian says he can’t eat them, his chat asks why and he responds “I’m a celiac” but then copes that “the haters will say I can’t have the cookies because she made them for Hasan. Well we are making a road trip down to LA to deliver Hasan literal cookies!”

Hater status = owned.

I found Podawful first, so I’m probably in the minority, but I’m enjoying the malding, from all angles. Jesse was the first to point out Dax being a loser, after all. MATI, Podawful, Redbar— at some point when you look into the lolcow abyss, you become the abyss. I’m having fun at least :popcorn:
 
This is even worse than a normal podawful show, the cope is insane. "I live rent free in Josh's head because he has correctly observed that any time someone talks about me I have a sperg out to try and get viewers", yeah bud you're winning big time.

433 live viewers? I had no idea this retard was so irrelevant with how prolific he is.

Much like Kino Casino, he has paypigs that sustain him on his website. About a decade ago, his audience on YouTube (and Facebook, boomer moment) was significantly larger, but he kept getting banned. It’s also telling he was never able to sustain a co-host, to the point where the black guy he hosted with circa 2015/2016-ish broke all contact

He's trying to act like he's the puppet master here, but he's the buckbroken one who's going to get a real job like the rest of the normies, despite doing Podawful for 12 years or whatever.
Imagine doing something for 12 years and still being at level 1, he's almost like the DSP of podcasting. And i'm not even a hater, i will admit that i've seen Null talk about Jesse before and i've laughed at some of the stuff i've seen from Jesse, but he sounds to smug and arrogant right now for someone who can't break even 1k live viewers.
Josh, despite being censored everywhere and being debanked, can do this shit without needing to get a regular job, which goes to show that Null is much better at this than Jesse.

Edit: It's truly a wise decision not to give him any attention for years. He could have been much more gracious about this whole thing, it would be more beneficial in the long run.
What does he do? Tries to push Null's buttons to get him to talk about him one more time. If i can give a suggestion here: don't give Jesse any answer, he truly is a clout goblin.

For those who haven't heard of the Sun Ray. The interesting thing is the SunRay was far closer to a mainframe than you might think. It's a somewhat dumb terminal for a far larger computer somewhere else in the building. Much like VT`100 style terminals for their mainframes. Of course the Sun Ray required far more than 9600bps too which is why it was usually in the same building. Was a pretty cool system, sit down, shove in your smartcard and your desktop appeared. Grab your card, sit somewhere else and there was your desktop. Also interesting is that they weren't X11 Terminals like NCD, which could be used similarly but without the fancy smart card stuff.

And then I realized I was in the MATI thread instead of a tech sperging thread.

made the massive mistake of clicking on this shit, 2 seconds in this fucking moron completely ragebaits me with the most low IQ take of all time.
he said the "dont pozload my negholepoo" (god i hate this nigger) doesnt make sense because ethan ralph was at the chris chan arrest. how the fuck does that argument make any sense to him????
That's like making a nature documentary and saying it's okay to fuck with the animals because the animals are interacting with eachother, what fucking reasoning is that? And now he's saying documenting and making streams is the same as interacting with lolcows. This shit is actually raising my blood pressure
I'm very glad Null's not retarded enough to cover this shit next stream so we can all go back to pretending Podnigger jesse cum-guzzler doesnt exist

The saddest thing is the seniors were even willing to do another 30 year mortgage on the land they already paid for if it was that cost, the city wants modern rates for the land. Can you imagine how fucked in the head that is? Not only are they stealing the land but they're not even willing to sell twice if the second time isn't for full modern value.

It's sickening that some retarded Karen looks at a bunch of elderly people in a trailer park and tells them it would be a crime to give them land they paid for because the city fucked up the paperwork. There is not enough hatred in the world for government officials like this.
