Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[IcicleTrepan]

No, I wrote a core open source python program that is used with iptables firewalls. The code I wrote is found in the majority of *nix based router solutions. It is routinely used for blocking TCP/IP traffic based on either a database query, blacklist, or whitelist.

Additionally, I adapted that code to automatically ban mail servers, which were spam sources, from being able to connect to a destination server. I also wrote a portion of the TOR website, and a program which identified ssh dictionary attacks based on behavior observed in the ssh log- and disallowed further connections.

That's the PUBLIC stuff I can talk about.

But I've worked for Apple Computer, been an IT director a number of times, and have owned an ISP.

No you cannot have my resume.

Oh.. and fuck you

And all of this magic stuff can be defeated by a proxy server, which is how us tasty Canadians watch US Netflix all the time.

I hope they do not put the Gorilla on cocaine! Yikes!

Ah, yes.  Testing the old Gakked Ape Hypothesis.

Who needs DM when we have rats on cocaine!?

Check your post history and med dosage, you were threatening violence and talking about your tits to someone else.  I only said two things to you.

Still no tit pic!

I wouldn't be surprised but it's beyond annoying. The cryptic stuff, that is.

It can be annoying yes, but it would seem that is how Mr. Bell operates. So we just need to be better at figuring it out. Well, that is what I'm trying to do...you know... to pass the -time-;)

What fun!! Art´s live stream is  loud and clear down here in Mexico, on the high plateau and under the volcano!! Thanks, gang!

[ZomZom]

Wow, the thread has quickened since I visited last night.

In the few negotiations I've participated in, there has been this 'crickets' phase.  This is not a time to despair.

[Coz]

Tell us more about the program. Not being sarcastic either. Where can I read about it? Any website documentation for it?

You'll forgive me for not wanting to "out" myself to the turds on this forum.

But there's a lot of code out there now which either contains my code, or is coded in a not dissimilar manner. Some examples:

SSHBlock
fail2ban
dovecot

my gf was just showing me a sat. picture of the storm in the Philippines, looks awful.  Supposed to be one of the worst on record.

You must not be in the famous Zone of Silence.  Enjoy Mexico!

Gakked Ape Hypothesis.

Another great band name

Ah, there it is again, the desperate mantra of the validation starved, wielding a shakey authority like its the only good thing he has.

I love you, seek ego death.  I prescribe a lot of time in a flotation tank and some potent psychedelics.

That just makes you criminals. Not smart. And the proxy blocks update all the time.

A competent IT technician fears not sharing his accomplishments, and resume.

So with 3 hours to go, let's place our bets. Show or no show tonight?

lol you are too much man.  So do the proxy servers.

[DanTSX]

Not even close! My observation is he is a badass towards me (and other women) but when a man calls him out on his shit, he cows. It makes him appear weak. I've no patience for weak men. Believe me, I can hold my own. Special treatment is insulting.

I can treat you special

Not biting... you're questions were answered.

You seem to have missed that last part....  :

Anyone else having issues with the current Artbell.com live stream cutting out? I'm getting a lot of breaks in the transmission tonight.

The first link (http://live.artbell.com:8303/stream) keeps stopping at 8 seconds today for some reason. The http://live.artbell.com:8303/live.m3u link has worked great, though.

Yah, someone make a poll.

Both work for me without any issues.

[malachi.martini]

Your questions.

You're = You are questions... which I suppose I am.

As for my questions, you answered them.  In a completely, and consistently vague manner.

No show. Then we'll hope for Monday... and the next week, and the week after that...

It's really not looking so good on the SiriusXM front

[ziznak]

"seek ego death"
- wise advice to anybody...

I wish maybe Art had been advised of this.  I really hope this whole thing has grounded him.  Wouldn't it be great if he just started to stream a show of some other name directly from his site that was somehow different enough for him to not be fucked with by his non-compete with siriusxm?

and i apologize appreantly I can't stream sentences today as well as i normally do... not that i normally string together very welll... all these ellipses...

[Asadora]

I'm not much of a betting woman, but I would say no show tonight.

Just give it -time. Maybe at this point, having no news is good news and it means that something is being worked on or worked out?

[nooryisawesome]

I am all in on NO
