It was a collection of silly quotes from IRC channels everywhere, many of which dated back to the 90s. It was rarely ever updated in the 2010s, but now, the URL no longer resolves.
Last capture was July 2023. https://web.archive.org/web/20230601000000*/bash.org
EDIT Someone archived all the quotes on the Internet Archive.

Interesting. This suggests you could grow your own brain (as in, YOUR brain, not anyone else's) and put it in a jar to obtain a sort of immortality. Only problem is, you'd need to find a way to sync your regular brain with the one you grew from your own neurons, or it would just be a clone.

Web³ XR @sh.itjust.works ToyDork @sh.itjust.works A few thoughts about the blackout and the future development of the Fediverse.
cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185
It started as an answer to a comment, but then I figured it might be worth a post on it's own.
So here you go:
- The blackout was not noticeable in terms of engagement. There were plenty of threads that still got tens of thousands of upvotes, so the frontpage didn't look more empty than before. There were just some missing subs and an occasional reference to the blackout on the subs that were closed. The impact was much, much smaller than people here and over at lemmy suggest. Of course your personal frontpage is a lot more empty if you subscribed to the subs that are part of the blackout. It's absolutely not the case for /all though.
Additionally, the blackout trackers are confusing. They show how many subs went black in relation to a total amount. Many people, me included, at first thought the total was the actual total amount of active subs, while in reality it was only the subs that pledged to cl

With the fediverse growing seeming to grow really fast these days, and covering the twitter & reddit spaces, I've been wondering what other social media can be covered by the fediverse.
While admittedly, both reddit and twitter has brought this upon themselves, I'd love to see more move towards the fediverse

Web³ XR @sh.itjust.works ToyDork @sh.itjust.works Question about Defederation that I am stuck on
cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/482585
Using Beehaw's /c/gaming community as an example: Can someone please explain why I am still able to view this community and even see new posts? I also saw a few posts from beehaw users themselves in the last day. According to the explanation from the admins, I should be able to see posts in /c/gaming ONLY from other lemmy.world users, however that does not appear to be the case. I am seeing content from other instances, including beehaw. Can someone explain?
I read the explanation for defederation like 20 times and I still don't understand. It is incredibly confusing so if someone could explain this properly, that would be great. Thanks!
The thing I’m confused about is whether or not we should be seeing posts from anyone on /c/gaming @beehaw.org (as an example) that’s not from lemmy.world. Does that make sense? According to the admin’s post here, we shouldn’t, however I am still seeing a few posts that look new. Is th
