If any of you are interested in what it was like tracing a hacker back then, I HIGHLY recommend the book The Cuckoo’s Egg by Clifford Stohl.

Very interesting when I’d read it. Jangling keys across the modem connections… Brilliant. I hope to be such a capable sysmin

I’ll take “Movies with poor portrayals of real things that changed the world anyway,” for $500, Alex.

Wargames is the one that scared President Reagan and created the (still overreaching) CFAA.

That said, at 300 baud, hacking was s . . . . . l . . . . . o . . . . . . . . . . w.

When I used to admin an anime shitposting page, I often told people asking about what anime certain characters were from that it’s from Darude no Sandstorm, and people were falling for it. Left that page due to massive burnout, and some of the other admins turning fashy.

That was one of those tiny goofy references I miss from Reddit. They put a Pi symbol at the end of every page (on old reddit at least) as a nod to that movie.
