cubezzzdoh, seg faultDec 09 00:45
cubezzzmay be necessary to delete the newer .ncftp directoryDec 09 00:46

cubezzzyeah I think I'll just use lynx insteadDec 09 01:07
cubezzzfunny, that's what I used to do in the "old days" :)Dec 09 01:08
prurigrohaha, is lynx better than links, on that note?Dec 09 01:09
cubezzznot sureDec 09 01:10
prurigroI always find links a much more complete ncurses experienceDec 09 01:10
cubezzzwell I have both on vector so...Dec 09 01:10
cubezzzseems a bit different thoughDec 09 01:10
prurigrohit escDec 09 01:11
prurigroand you get your menuDec 09 01:11
cubezzzI can't go links ftp://user@server Dec 09 01:11
cubezzzwhich is a bit of a painDec 09 01:11
prurigrohmm no?Dec 09 01:11
prurigrolet me try thisDec 09 01:11
prurigro(I typically use ncftp or lftp on that note)Dec 09 01:12
cubezzzlynx is just betterDec 09 01:12
prurigrolinks worksDec 09 01:12
cubezzzit does notDec 09 01:13
prurigroyou just need to use ftp://user:pass@urlDec 09 01:13
prurigro(I just tested)Dec 09 01:13
cubezzzright, just type the password in plain textDec 09 01:13
prurigroif you don't wanna put that in your .bashrcDec 09 01:13
cubezzzno thanksDec 09 01:13
prurigrotype linksDec 09 01:13
prurigroand press gDec 09 01:13
cubezzzor just use lynxDec 09 01:14
prurigrotrue :)Dec 09 01:14
prurigrofigured that was your plan from that point, but I wanted to make sure the whole story was out thereDec 09 01:14
cubezzzeven if I hit g it still doesn't prompt me for a passwordDec 09 01:15
prurigronope, you gotta do the user:pass setupDec 09 01:16
cubezzzright, which is badDec 09 01:16
prurigrois it?Dec 09 01:16
prurigrodepends whether you're over a secure connect I guessDec 09 01:16
cubezzzyes, I'm typing my password and it's visible on the screenDec 09 01:16
prurigroahh, not in a private place?Dec 09 01:16
cubezzzbad designDec 09 01:16
cubezzzeven so prurigro, I could be at a customer's houseDec 09 01:17
cubezzzyou see my point?Dec 09 01:17
prurigrodepends on your use-- if it was home use only you'd be fineDec 09 01:18
prurigrobut definitely not at a customer'sDec 09 01:18
cubezzzwell it's not fineDec 09 01:18
cubezzzeverDec 09 01:18
prurigrorather, if someone isn't looking over your shoulder, you shouldn't have an issueDec 09 01:18
prurigrobut yes, in your situation I would go lynxDec 09 01:18

cubezzzyes, putting plain text passwords into text filesDec 09 01:19
cubezzzbadDec 09 01:20
prurigroahh, yes- I like to avoid setups that go that directionDec 09 01:20
cubezzzI _always_ type the password inDec 09 01:20
cubezzzso when I do, I don't want it displayed!Dec 09 01:20
prurigrosounds like a good philosophy to keep, in generalDec 09 01:20
prurigroand haha, well especially when you're not always sure you're not gonna have someone looking from behind your backDec 09 01:21
prurigrofrom one time to anotherDec 09 01:21
cubezzzlook at 70s terminalsDec 09 01:21
cubezzzthey were more paranoid in the past than they are nowDec 09 01:21
prurigrowell 70s terminals typically sat in semi-public locationsDec 09 01:21
cubezzzthose terms have HUGE bezels on the sidesDec 09 01:21
cubezzztrueDec 09 01:22
prurigroI think home computing has changed a lotDec 09 01:22
prurigroin terms of how we think of these thingsDec 09 01:22
cubezzzstill, when your internet banking?Dec 09 01:22
cubezzzyou need to be carefulDec 09 01:22
prurigrothat is true- and on that note, internet banking has a 2 pass system, with multiple possible passwords each attemptDec 09 01:23
cubezzzprurigro, I have to be careful with the serverDec 09 01:23
prurigroand you need to call to verify if you get them wrongDec 09 01:23
prurigroat least mine doesDec 09 01:23
cubezzzright, the banks are carefulDec 09 01:23
cubezzzwe should be careful tooDec 09 01:23
cubezzzblogger got rid of all ftp accessDec 09 01:24
cubezzzit was considered a huge pain in the buttDec 09 01:24
prurigroyea, I typically only use ftp for one thing these daysDec 09 01:24
prurigroa school website I volunteer to doDec 09 01:24
prurigroeverything else is sshDec 09 01:25
cubezzzthere's sftpDec 09 01:25
prurigrowith that you can have a private key and forget about passwords pretty well altogetherDec 09 01:25
prurigrosftp = sshDec 09 01:25
cubezzzyeahDec 09 01:25
prurigroor sshfsDec 09 01:25
prurigrowhich I built a fun little script to manage profiles forDec 09 01:25
cubezzzI bet lynx isn't really safe either actuallyDec 09 01:26
prurigroits as safe as ftp, I'm sureDec 09 01:26
prurigrois it sending that password plaintext though? I have no ideaDec 09 01:26
cubezzzit might be OK just on the LANDec 09 01:27
prurigroas long as your router is secureDec 09 01:27
cubezzzwell for anonymous ftp it's fineDec 09 01:29
prurigrooh definitelyDec 09 01:29
prurigrowe're just talking about password input hereDec 09 01:29
prurigroor at least for things your neighbour couldn't already gain access toDec 09 01:30
cubezzzwell getting in from the outside shouldn't be easyDec 09 01:30

cubezzzyesDec 09 01:37
prurigrohave you tried another ftp client to see if that's optional or not?Dec 09 01:37
cubezzzmaybe there's a way to avoid thatDec 09 01:37
cubezzzdumping port 21 clearly shows what's it's doingDec 09 01:38
cubezzzwell I figure sftp must be better, I'll try itDec 09 01:38
prurigrooh man, so sftp is literally the secure file transfer protocolDec 09 01:38
prurigrosftp definitely encrypts the passDec 09 01:38
cubezzzyes, I'm sure it does, but I still want to see it :)Dec 09 01:39
prurigrono harm and possibly some good in thatDec 09 01:39
cubezzzha, not port 21Dec 09 01:39
cubezzzwhat does it use for secure ftp?Dec 09 01:39

cubefc1well, home is work most of the timeDec 09 01:46
prurigrolol, ahh- you should just tmux an irc sessionDec 09 01:46
prurigroand nice- that has its advantages and disadvantages I've foundDec 09 01:46
cubefc1might be easier than echoing /dev/pts/numberDec 09 01:49
cubefc1I use that to pass clipboarded info between computersDec 09 01:49

cubefc1prurigro, I installed it in 2004Dec 09 02:15
cubefc1what does that tell you?Dec 09 02:15

cubefc1exactly soDec 09 02:16
prurigrohaha toucheDec 09 02:16
cubefc1each iteration of the linux OS gets biggerDec 09 02:16
cubefc1it makes sense to run older linux on an older computerDec 09 02:17
cubefc1especially since I have over 7 years (almost 8 years) of experience with itDec 09 02:17

cubefc1why is that?Dec 09 02:30
prurigroahh, I've just had some weird glitches over the years, not to mention importing word documents is typically my reason for using anything other than a unix format text fileDec 09 02:31
prurigroand abiword + koffice don't import nearly as wellDec 09 02:31

cubefc1yeah, it's kind of stupidDec 09 02:51
prurigroahh, so techncially it would be pretty well illegal for you to run anywhereDec 09 02:51

prurigrohow do you mean a prefix windowDec 09 03:02
prurigroand let me know if I should just read that wiki article a bit more thoroughly :)Dec 09 03:02
cubefc1ok, it's this area of the screen that you can type in commands to manipulate linesDec 09 03:03
cubefc1and show line numbersDec 09 03:03
cubefc1e.g. m sets a line to move, p for preceeding f for followingDec 09 03:04

prurigrooh interestingDec 09 03:05
prurigrofor reference, basicallyDec 09 03:05
prurigroand you can set this yourself?Dec 09 03:05

prurigromuch more quality than the c64, despite likely having far less supportDec 09 04:18
cubezzzwell...Dec 09 04:21
cubezzzc64 was like a million times more commonDec 09 04:22
prurigroyea, sometimes it pays to go with the crowd, in some respects eh?Dec 09 04:22
cubezzzok, IBM had something called GDDM... the Graphical Data Display ManagerDec 09 04:23
cubezzzprurigro, the Telidon graphics are a bit c64-likeDec 09 04:27
cubezzznot sure was resolution was usedDec 09 04:27
prurigrohmm interesting-- was it technically a 'resolution' back then?Dec 09 04:29
cubezzzsureDec 09 04:30
cubezzzwell, at least character graphicsDec 09 04:30
cubezzzthere's docs, let me checkDec 09 04:31
prurigrokkDec 09 04:36
prurigroI just threw scale2x on in vice, and it felt dirty :)Dec 09 04:48
cubezzzthe Nabu computer used TMS 9918A video display processorDec 09 04:53
cubezzzgraphics I mode 256x192 Dec 09 04:54
cubezzzmulticolor mode provides 64x48 color-dot display with 16 coloursDec 09 04:54
prurigrooh crazyDec 09 04:55
prurigrothat's quite a bit lower than a television screenDec 09 04:55
prurigroI guess that's why monitors were so tiny when they were legit back thenDec 09 04:55
cubezzzwell the vic-20 was even lower resDec 09 04:56
cubezzzthe 1200 was probably a bit betterDec 09 04:57
prurigrohmm interesting-- did monitors have overscan back then?Dec 09 04:59
cubezzzwell there was interlaced video modesDec 09 05:00
cubezzzon amiga 1080 I could do 640x400, where normally I could only do 640x200Dec 09 05:00
prurigroironic, if the amiga 1080 came out today you'd think that res would be higherDec 09 05:01
cubezzzreally old monitors were composite onlyDec 09 05:02
cubezzzso more like a tv without a tuner Dec 09 05:02
prurigroyup, I still have my converterDec 09 05:02
cubezzz1080 is pretty old... mine was made in nov 1985Dec 09 05:03
prurigrothat's not that oldDec 09 05:04
prurigromost of my original gear is slightly older than thatDec 09 05:04
cubezzzyes, but what monitor?Dec 09 05:04
cubezzzthe 1080 was the one of the earliest amiga monitorsDec 09 05:04
prurigroohhhh, that was the monitor!Dec 09 05:05
prurigroI thought you meant the output of the comptuerDec 09 05:05
prurigrocomputer*Dec 09 05:05
cubezzzno, that's the model # of the monitorDec 09 05:05
prurigrokk, that makes much more senseDec 09 05:06
prurigroyea, I didn't get my first monitor till the 90sDec 09 05:06
cubezzzCGA was 640x200Dec 09 05:06
cubezzzbut the amiga could do much more coloursDec 09 05:06
cubezzzin 1983 IBM introduced the 5153 Color DisplayDec 09 05:07
prurigronow why did we have minors > televisions back then anyway?Dec 09 05:07
prurigrolack of overscan?Dec 09 05:07
prurigroesp if they're jus tcompositeDec 09 05:08
cubezzzwell TVs had chromatic distortionDec 09 05:08
cubezzzand computers had limited memoryDec 09 05:09
prurigrooh, like you'd need to put more processing power into removing this distortion?Dec 09 05:09
cubezzznoDec 09 05:09
cubezzzit's the limitations of composite videoDec 09 05:09
cubezzzthe colours would bleed into each other, e.g. red and blueDec 09 05:10
cubezzzRGB monitors fixed that problemDec 09 05:10
cubezzzbut there wasn't anything like that until 1983Dec 09 05:10
cubezzztechnically NTSC could have 486 visible raster linesDec 09 05:11
prurigrooh hmm, was monochrome really still out by 1983?Dec 09 05:11
cubezzznot just mono, but composite Dec 09 05:12
cubezzzstuff like 1701Dec 09 05:12
cubezzzbefore that we had b&w tvs for the "monitor"Dec 09 05:13
cubezzzso early stuff, like Apple IIe or c64 had what they called baseband composite videoDec 09 05:15
cubezzzbut the c64 had separate luminance/chrominanceDec 09 05:15
prurigrowhat do you mean by that? like an old school graphics driverDec 09 05:16
cubezzzok the video output of the c64 had basically two RCA cables Dec 09 05:18
cubezzzone was for luminance, the other was chrominanceDec 09 05:18
prurigrooh hm, and then they'd both slide them under that screw thing and connect it to the television?Dec 09 05:18
cubezzzok, so if you didn't have a monitor you went through the RF modulatorDec 09 05:19
prurigroyupDec 09 05:19
cubezzzso that generates a boradcast RF signal that the TV can useDec 09 05:19
cubezzzbroadcastDec 09 05:19
cubezzzit sucked, but it was better than nothingDec 09 05:20
cubezzzin effect, it fakes the over-the-air signalDec 09 05:20
prurigroit wasn't that bad, in my experienceDec 09 05:24
prurigrocubezzz: I guess I can see your point on that note though; if you're a business and you want some serious work going on, you don't want someone's productivity cut down because their letters were wobbling too much that dayDec 09 05:57
