13 A Newspaper for Gopher josuah | |
14 ____________________________________________________________ | |
15 | |
16 Starting from today, The Gopher Times is going to be | |
17 published. How can a paper-oriented journal make | |
18 sense in this hypermedia [1] era? | |
19 | |
20 Rather than a continuous feed of upmost shocking | |
21 headlines, The Gopher Times publishes news you can | |
22 read without a cookiewall or paywall. | |
23 | |
24 Paper newspapers go through a long chain: reporters, | |
25 photographers, redactors, editors, columnists, layout | |
26 artists, typesetters, printers, carriers and other | |
27 supportive technicians... and are sold for a quarter. | |
28 | |
29 The web considerably shackled the landscape: the high | |
30 speed of computers made real-time text news a reality, | |
31 where time from Trump's tweet announcements to | |
32 publication is below a few hours. | |
33 | |
34 This journal diverts the present norm by 90° by using | |
35 troff(1) as its foundation: a typesetter producing | |
36 static documents ready to be printed. | |
37 | |
38 A new markdown to troff converter [2] as well as an | |
39 entire custom macro set mw [3] are built to fit | |
40 screens of all shapes, and build-up the sensibility of | |
41 an actual journal. | |

106 Analgram Authentication 20h | |
107 ____________________________________________________________ | |
108 | |
109 As you know, bitreich is always ahead of time and | |
110 in introducing new technology. We now offer members | |
111 the authentication to all services via | |
112 | |
113 gopher://bitreich.org/I/memecache/bitreich-2fa.jpg | |
114 | |
115 Via your analprint scan you are distinguished from | |
116 all other humans. No other human has such an analprint | |
117 as you have. You are special. | |
118 | |
119 In case you want to authenticate, come on #bitreich- | |
120 anal on IRC and send the picture of your analprint. We | |
121 call this the analgram authentication. It is secure, | |
122 cannot be easily copied and the biometric feature | |
123 is hidden for most of your life. No simple photo can | |
124 steal this credential. | |
125 | |
126 Current work is done to make this a standard for all | |
127 U.S. and EU funded projects and contracts. Hopefully | |
128 the future is anal-gram! | |

148 BAN Party Results 20h | |
149 ____________________________________________________________ | |
150 | |
151 Today we had a two part BAN party. The first onw | |
152 was teeworlds, since this was easily running and | |
153 through a community effort openra in the newest | |
154 appimage got setup in some virtualbox debianesque | |
155 setup on FreeBSD. It really ran. And so in a | |
156 combined effort of Dutch Australian and German armies, | |
157 we defeated the enemies using all kind of weaponry, | |
158 from naval to aircraft units. Long live Bitreich! | |
159 | |
160 Yes, it was very much fun. | |
161 | |
162 Next time with more players we can play even bigger | |
163 maps. Everyone is invited! | |
164 | |

232 Back in the nineties when Windowds 3.1 was still very | |
233 much a thing, my old man, while doing his post | |
234 graduated studies, found this story on some Russian | |
235 usenet group, saved it, printed it out, posted it in | |
236 his office. | |
237 | |
238 Years later he made the mistake of giving me the | |
239 internet. And I found the same story, now on the world | |
240 wide web. | |
241 | |
242 I've taken the time to translate the story from | |
243 Russian to English such that everyone can enjoy the | |
244 gifts of Russian usenet koans. | |
245 | |
246 Enjoy responsibly. | |

257 The bear was a filthy, clumsy, and dirty animal. | |
258 However, no one was as loving as he was in the whole | |
259 forest. But the animals only saw his exterior, to | |
260 which the bear became upset, caught them, and brutaly | |
261 beat them with his legs. Even though he was very | |
262 loving. And happy. He loved practical jokes. For these | |
263 jokes the animals started to hate the bear and beat | |
264 him. Yes, it;s hard to be loving and happy. | |
265 | |
266 >> Волк был тоже безобpазным и гpязным. �… | |

271 | |
272 The wolf was also filthy and dirty. He was also very | |
273 evil and cruel. But the animals din't hate him and | |
274 didn't beat him. Because the wolf died early in his | |
275 childhood. Because the bear was born before the wolf. | |
276 Yes, it's good when good triumphs over evil. | |
277 | |

282 | |
283 The rabbit was also evil and cruel. And dirty. He was | |
284 also a coward. The rabbit never commited any evil as | |
285 he was scared. But he was still beaten. Because evil | |
286 must be punished. | |
287 | |

299 | |
300 The woodpecker was also evil and cruel. He didn't beat | |
301 animals, as he didn't have any arms. So he took his | |
302 anger out on trees. He was not beaten, as no one could | |
303 reach him. One day a tree crushed him to death. The | |
304 animals said it took revenge. After that, then animals | |
305 were afraid of pissing on trees for a month. Instead | |
306 they pissed on the rabbit. The rabbit got a cold and | |
307 died. Everyone knew that the woodpecker was at fault. | |
308 But he wasn't beaten, as no one could get him out from | |
309 the fallen tree. Yes, sometimes evil remains | |
310 unpunished. | |
311 | |

325 шyтки никто не понимает. | |
326 | |
327 The mole was small and blind. He was not evil. He just | |
328 did his job really well. It was he who dug under the | |
329 tree which fell on the woodpecker. No one knew about | |
330 his digging and he was not beaten. He was rarely | |
331 beaten. More often scared. But it was really hard to | |
332 scare him as he was blind, and didn't see that he was | |
333 being scared. When the animals were unable to scare | |
334 the mole they became very upset. And beat the bear. | |
335 One day the bear decided to sacre the mole. But he | |
336 didn't scare the mole. Because he killed him. | |
337 Accidentally. As he was very clumsy. And the animals | |
338 brutally beat him for killing the mole, even though | |
339 the bear said it was a prank. It's unfortunate when no | |
340 one understands your pranks. | |
341 | |
342 >> Лиса была очень хитpой. Она могла… | |

344 не били. Hо иногда ей не везло. И ее бил… | |

347 тебя бьют. Однажды ее избили до смеp… | |
348 всегда на пpавдy выйдет. | |
349 | |
350 The fox was very cunning. She could easily outsmart | |
351 anyone. When she could outsmart someone, she was not | |
352 beaten. But when she coudln't, she was beaten. Hard. | |
353 And at that point she couldn't outsmart anyone, as | |
354 it's hard to outsmart someone when you're being | |
355 beaten. One day she was beaten to death. Yes, truth | |
356 will always come to light. | |
357 | |
358 >> Кабан был большой, сильный и стpашн… | |
359 очень боялись. И поэтомy его били тол�… | |
360 Или пpосто кидали в него камнями. Каба… | |

363 никогда не пpятал камни. Воистинy го… | |
364 собиpать камни и вpемя их не тpогать ни… | |
365 | |
366 The boar was big, strong, and scary. Everyone was | |
367 scared of him. That is why he was always beaten with | |
368 the whole forest. Or simply stoned him. The boar | |
369 didn't like that. One day he hid all of the stones in | |
370 the forest. For the he was beaten really hard. After | |
371 that, the boar never hid stones. And so they say, | |
372 there is time to collect stones, and time to not touch | |
373 them. | |
374 | |
375 >> Козел не был ни злым, ни добpым. Он �… | |
376 Козел. н часто козлил. И его боялис… | |
377 своим козловством всех достал. И тогд… | |

380 плакал. Потомy, что он в тайне любил… | |
381 любовь зла, полюбишь и Козла. | |
382 | |
383 The goat was neither good nor evil. He was a goat. He | |
384 often goated. And the animals were scared of beating | |
385 him. With his goatness he got on everyones nerves. And | |
386 he was beaten to death, because otherwise he would | |
387 have died of old age. Someday. After the goat died, | |
388 the bear cried, because he secretly loved the goat. | |
389 Yes, love is a cruel mistress. | |
390 | |
391 >> Ежик был маленький и колючий. Он кол�… | |
392 злым, он кололся по своей пpиpоде. Из-… | |
393 били только в живот. Ежик этого не л… | |
394 бpиться наголо. И тогда его стали бит�… | |
395 очень тpyдно быть не таким как все. | |
396 | |
397 The hedgehog was small and prickly. He wasn't evil, he | |
398 was prickly by his own nature. For that he was beaten | |
399 exclusively in the stomach. And so the hedgehog | |
400 started shaving bald. And he was beaten like everyone | |
401 else. Yes, it's hard to be not like everyone else. | |
402 | |
403 >> Скyнс был почти таким, как Заяц. Hо т�… | |

413 и в сех сильно избили. Им не понpав… | |
414 меpтвого Скyнса. Да, с соседями надо жи… | |
415 | |
416 The skunk was very much like rabbit. But very smelly. | |
417 He was beaten only inside a plastic bag, because then | |
418 the smell wasn't as bad. One day the skunk had a | |
419 birthday party, and he invited all of the animals as | |
420 he was greedy and he loved presents. The animals got | |
421 him a new plastig bag. And then proceeded to beat him | |
422 until loss of consciousness. The skunk then suffocated | |
423 inside the bag. That is how he was buried. In the | |
424 plastic bag. In the very far away forest, as a dead | |
425 skunk smelt worse than a living skunk. Then the | |
426 animals from the very far away forest came and beat | |
427 everyone hard. They didn't like the smell of the dead | |
428 skunk. Yes, you must love your neighbour. | |
429 | |
430 >> Хомяк был тоже очень жадным. И богат�… | |
431 делился своим богатством, его бы бил�… | |
432 Hо он был очень жадным. За это его били… | |
433 все pавно пpиходилось делиться. И он �… | |
434 Да, богатые тоже плачyт. | |
435 | |
436 The hasmter was also very greedy. And rich. If he | |
437 shared his riches he woudn't be beaten as hard. But he | |
438 was greedy. And he was beaten hard. And he still had | |
439 to share his riches. For that he cried. Yes, even rich | |
440 people cry. | |
441 | |
442 >> Лев был цаpь звеpей. Он пpавил лесом. Ц… | |
443 положено. Это закон. Hо звеpи давно за�… | |
444 Звеpи били и льва. Hи за что. Потомy, ч�… | |
445 здесь повелось. | |
446 | |
447 The lion was king. He ruled the forest. You're not | |
448 supposed to beat kings. Such is the law. But the | |
449 animals gave a fuck about the law. They beat the lion. | |
450 Why? That's just how things go in forest. | |
