PSSST

"It's pronounced PS/2"

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 days ago

Mom: we’ve got ps2 at home.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

man, I'm old. I remember the keyboard connector before the ps/2 ports. I think it was called AT connector? I forget. Probably dementia

[–] spamspeicher@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Dementia? Never heard of that connector.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

DemenTIA, from CompTIA. Some of those exam questions really make you wonder. . .

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

About 80% of my deceased family have been die-hard adopters of that.

God, I remember using the old non-standardized serial connectors from my CD caddy and 5.25" floppy days. I still can hear the C64 floppy drive whirring up for my sisters and I to watch the Ghostbusters game crash yet again, until we'd cry.

If it makes you feel better, when I was a kid, the mouse of my first computer used to go through a serial port, and a keyboard through a parallel port. Dot Matrix printers also used parallel ports. The good old times of the intel 386/486 models.

i think that's a ps3.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

The round connector you need to reboot for.

I can't help but wince at the thought of not seeing the spider before plugging in the ethernet cable....

Port Spider

[–] insomniac199@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Aww come on man don't put that image in my head

[–] fiatcode@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

found a bug in the network port!

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's the driver, not a bug.

isn’t the deep web just anything behind a login screen? Shouldn’t this say “dark web”?

[–] Azrael@reddthat.com 11 points 3 days ago

Close. The deep web is any part of the internet not indexed by regular search engines. The dark web is a subsection of the deep web which is only accessible through a certain browser.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The dark web is part of the deep web. Anything not publicly indexable is the deep web.

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This makes Discord part of the deep web, yes?

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

If a search engine can't crawl it so you could search up posts, like a good ol' forum, than yep!

Same with any member pages past a login. (Hence why nobody can just 'google' your bank account balance lol.)

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

I can't, my case has too many RGB LEDs

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nah cause that spidir is deeep in that internet hole.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Lemmy is also ~~derp~~ deep web.

Edit: typo

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Nah that spider is too cool to enjoy dark web shit.

It's just taking kids to all the inclusive communities, private torrent sites and free streaming servers.

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I think that is just a jumping spider.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yes! They are basically tiny dogs lol.

Their tiny feet even look like dog paws!

And Lucas is one, so they are pretty funny.

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

Aaaakksssshuuallyy...These are tarantula feet, more specifically avicularia avicularia (the pink feet).

Jumping spider feet are very simmilar tho. But not as cute

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

A super smart spider bro that just wants to eat your pests....

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago

The cute ones that look at you with intelligence in their eyes. I could never kill a jumping spider.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

Network and chill.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Portia confused about the missing ants

[–] exu@feditown.com 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hey fellow reader of that book!

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Listening to book 4 right this moment

[–] exu@feditown.com 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I didn't know there was a fourth book. Awesome!

Edit: tbf, released in 2026

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

2 weeks ago, to be more precise

[–] borQue@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Going deepweb with a PS2 mouse is going to be dangerous. No way you can run Microscum's latest update.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Is there a special URL that you want to share?

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Inspiration for Bad Guys character?
