Fine for me
Football, tech, and self-hosting mammal. I tinker (and tend to break) servers, follow the birds — the feathered kind — and dig through bits of local history.

stonkage@aussie.zoneto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was hacking like in the '80s and '90s?English10·4 days agoIt was exactly like the movie Hackers. 😅
Due to the nature of how the ARPAnet was born (lots of academic influence and the view of free sharing of information) outside the DOD infosec wasnt a thing, even then it was an after thought.
There was a healthy phone hacking community coming out of the 70s and into the 80s. Their techniques for getting free calls helped with exploiting the ARPAnet
There were pretty significant technology changes in the 90s with the WWW and the number of people and companies online leading to more opportunities and ways to exploit.
Wargames and Sneakers are pretty entertaining and while movies will give you a bit of a vibe.
If you can highly recommend you read

stonkage@aussie.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heatingEnglish7·6 days agoHere in South Australia we are starting to see the effects and it’s pretty chilling.
The algae bloom affecting many of our suburban beaches (which is most of Adelaide) and a lot of country ones are seeing huge numbers of dead marine life being washed up.
Anything from leafy sea dragons to fish, stingrays, and sharks. The foam created on some days covers whole sections of beach.
While apparently it’s safe, there are warnings that you may experience breathing issues and rashes so your supposed to bring your inhaler and rinse off after you have been in. On windy days it can affect you even if your walking close to the beach.
As we head into summer the damage to local seaford providers (the seafood is fine to consume but people are wary) and cafe owners will be huge and is already starting to take effect.
Because our beaches are so close, people would go down after work for a dip or have a drink at the suburban pubs and cafes.
