There’s like a 2 year period where I was cracking DRM, writing multi-loaders and emulators for arcade games and never publicized it because I didn’t want to get sued. PS2 OPL exfat only exists because I was writing a multi-loader for system246/256. Also holocure on Astro City

Give me your most obscure arcade lore about yourself or anything you know about...

The Bohemian Grove list is full of people who are not famous. The people who rule over us are white guys you’ve never heard of. They overwhelmingly work in finance, with a few from the media, real estate, and legal industries. A lot of people from the Hoover Institution

No hyperbole, the JMail team are doing some of the most important work in the world right now.
Jmail@jmailarchive
We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal. It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated. Here is Epstein's executive assistant, who sent >100k emails to him and was shielded from prison via a 2007 non-prosecution deal.

@CA_Matthius Extreme levels of disinformation floating around since yesterday, breathtaking inanity
English
Well, here's a Thursday night rabbit hole for me:
> Epstein was killed August 10th, 2019.
> The Epstein Files show his YouTube account, username: littlestjeff1
> The files also show he used the same username on the video game Fortnite, and he was an avid player—showing frequent in-game purchases.
> 'Fortnite Tracker' shows his account reached Silver 1 (level 4 of 9—1, 2, 3 for bronze, silver, gold respectively) in the game 'Chapter 5, Season 1.'
> Chapter 5, Season 1 was released on December 3, 2023. It ran until March 8, 2024.
> Jeffrey Epsteins Fortnite account was playing from Israel in 2024, 4 years after his "death."

@DanaDooDah "The upshot of showing that an action would be exploitative is therefore unclear. Sometimes, it is much better to be exploited than not to be exploited."

What're the chances that J. Stanley Pottinger, Epstein financial partner & Iran Contra arms smuggler extraordinaire, would be involved in the re-evaluation of rehab programs at Willowbrook at the same time the Process Church of the Final Judgement started their volunteer program?

The more time that passes & the more I find, Josh Zeman's exclusion of The Process Church of the Final Judgment's program at Willowbrook from his Cropsey documentary looks less like a sin of omission, and more like a blatant misrepresentation of the facts.

Updated the plugin to include ISO files in directory listings so Kodi can instantly mount DVD images virtually from Internet Archive. Now it's possible to mess around with the original interface menus and extras for thousands of discs without downloading anything. Very cool!

It's fun to be the only people on the planet using this superior implementation & it's a great way to unwind with random shows minus the currently toxic, narrow YouTube algorithm. Too many purple LED channels. There was a time when many rare or obscure shows were on there in full

Made my own custom Internet Archive add-on for Kodi that simply lists all media as a folder. The existing one only played the re-encoded SD MP4 files (no embedded subtitles or audio tracks) and used a cumbersome pop-up dialog to choose what to play (no resume support per video)

Nice to have 266.9G of record and tape rips archived in one place but I already have a huge amount of the best stuff saved from back when they were posted, with renamed folders & album art. People on SoulSeek are looking for obscure mp3s every time I'm on

All-time misunderstood film contender and victim of false advertising to this day. Every representation of it as Sonatine-lite on DVD sucks and the day-glo Blu-ray cover is also a monstrosity, but the original poster is perfection itself.

This wonderful film would have a much stronger reputation if it had been an international art-house release under the original title, rather than attempting to commercialize it as some kind of Violent Cop sequel.

Countdown to open data oblivion
Local storage of datasets will soon be priced out of reach too, astonishingly
Time to seriously consider my warnings about access to PubMed, court dockets and patent filings

All web archival services in general are quite temporary as well

LoveHKFilm, still one of the best classic sites out there. Consistently useful and funny after decades online.

A few episodes are actually available on Internet Archive, including the aforementioned WW2 one
Still kicking myself for not downloading them all when they were still up on YouTube, that Kiyoshiro Imawano episode was beautiful

Amazing that not a single review of the book has mentioned the glaring omission. I'm the only one to point this out anywhere online?

Absolutely shameful and preposterous that Fisk's post-humously published final book omits any mention of what he reported in Douma. Not even mentioned in the post-script, and for obvious reasons. ‘Sorry old son, you’ve been Fisked’
