I'm pulling all of these from the good ol' Lain Pack. Regrettably, it seems like Six10's entire site no longer exists. Maybe I should put the pack up somehow. It was a bunch of pretty old stuff in there; I think your collection is much newer by far so far.

I see. What inspired you to start your archive? Connect with the show/VN? Think Lain is an important cultural symbol? Just think Lain is cute? I don't know what prompted me to grab that pack. I've always liked Lain but never been particular about it; my interests are too modern, sorry to say. Having a bunch of old Lain stuff has probably influenced my view of her.

>What inspired you to start your archive? Connect with the show/VN? Think Lain is an important cultural symbol? Just think Lain is cute?

all of the above, and also that a lot of ideas from the show have really resonated with me. i came around to understand that everyone gets his own thing from it, mine is that i believe that the interconnected world can no longer be clearly divided between "virtual" and "real". it was never virtual in the first place, ever since the first ever computer communication some decades ago - everything has an impact on the world, no matter the significance - and SE:L perfectly portrays that.

also, i do think that the concept of network spirituality has a place in this world, which is also shown. your presence in the net is more than just your account and things you post, it's part of your personality and soul that is now forever engraved onto countless hard drives in segments and is available to anyone who's willing to dig deep enough. in that sense, it makes the internet some sort of ephemeral, all-knowing and omnipresent being, akin to a god.

there are many ways you can look at it, love it, hate it, accept it, deny it, understand it or remain ignorant, but it still exists and you have to face it every day, since all of our lives are now online to various extent. and Lain is a symbol of that - it exists, regardless of whether you acknowledge her or not, because there will be at least someone in the world that remembers of her existence, even if that is not a person but a machine. she is long immortalized in this deus ex machina that the internet has become, in all senses - from an anime character to a theological concept.

i'll understand if it doesn't make much sense or my answer is not as coherent as both of us would like, that's just what's been on my mind for a while now and i'm still in the process of fully figuring all this out, not even sure if it's really feasible. also, some of the stuff was possibly influenced by the shit i've seen at my job, i can elaborate if you wish.

I see. I haven't seen Lain in a while. I've meant to rewatch it for a long time now, but I just always would rather do something else than turn on my television. I've been having a kick looking back at media like Lain and seeing how archaic it is, not archaic in the sense of nothing it says being meaningful anymore, but archaic in its ideas of what the internet really is. I've been looking through a lot of writings on the internet, mainly the 1970s-1980s era. On the one hand these works can be profound in what they say about technology and society, and remain relevant today as revered works, but on the other hand it's kind of obvious these were written when hacking rarely involved more than blowing a whistle into a phone or something. Even Lain, which is much newer than those, shows its age a lot. Take even calling it the Wired, for example. The point of all the wires, of course, was to show the scope of connection the internet brought about, by emblematic of it's sheer size, but we live in a world now where a lot of people look at you funny for even using an ethernet cord, where connection happens in the air all around us now and is not confined to metal lines, so the image of Lain wrapped in wires hints more towards her being an old, rusty machine by modern parlance. It feels like the world that wrote the Arthruian epics and the world that wrote Lain have a lot more in common than the world that wrote Lain and the world I live in now. Lain was written right on that cusp of everything changing forever, but not quite there yet.

Lain being newer than those other works gives it the one advantage of showing just how ubiquitous the internet is. There is a kind of frustration in reading older cyberpunk works (or interacting with newer works based off of them) in that they understood the implications of something like the internet existing and yet failed to see just how ubiquitous it is; they believed the internet would only ever really be obsessed over by a relatively small group of punks who intimately knew how it functioned battling against the evil corporations that define its existence. Kind of hilarious to type. By 1998, this being quite the opposite of how it worked was a bit more obvious, I suppose. I really wish I could find more works that were both deeply familiar with what the internet and computers actually are and had a realistic (by modern reaPost too long.

Tell Me What You Think! Diod 05/12/26 (Tue) 04:15:55 No.8460 [Reply]

Perhaps I can help keep this imageboard alive. Call me Diod. I am a young woman who makes politically extreme video essays (no facefagging, just meme slideshows) and I need your input.

My goal is to merge the algorithms. Anarchists, communists, fascists, propertarians, liberals, conservatives, etc… must all see each others view points. The truth is that the algorithms are already merging in a sense, as we can tell from the shared linguistics being used from the left and right (leftists say 'goyslop' and rightwingers say 'lived experience'!)

I am here to accelerate this process that is currently in motion, in a directed, smoother way. I think my video essays can serve as a means to accomplish this. Through aggressive cross-posting in vastly different spaces, people from all different backgrounds will come together and learn about/discuss the ideas presented in the videos. I know I can contribute to a more intellectually focused, calmer culture online. What do you think? https://youtu.be/PPad5LADvo0

OpenBSD is amazing, but people haven't catched up because the average is retarded. You're not gonna hip with anyone.

>>3209
Lain over here complains about firefox issues but they are to be expected, that's what happens when you use retarded software. Sadly Firefox is a must most of the time.

Other than that, non-retarded software works fine and the package selection is pretty good if you ask me. You may find minor inconveniences on the software side and major inconviniences with hardware drivers (what happened to me).

Don't chicken from trying because OpenBSD is the easiest thing to set up

Toboso 03/23/26 (Mon) 19:55:16 No.3212

>>3211
I'll explain myself a little bit more:
OpenBSD has nice features and lacks a ton of features (which is good, actually). It has a nice shell and it's a true minimalist. The package manager has a pretty good selection of software, most good apps are available and if not, you can just compile programs yourself.

There are hardware related issues here and there, it's whatever. That's the only real holdup. If you can handle those, I encourage the change

I mean that it doesn't have SoystemD and the core of the system is extremely minimal compared to Linux.

Shortform video is a digital opiate and chatbots are a digital propsychotic. What would a digital stimulant look like?

Zodiac 04/24/26 (Fri) 23:42:12 No.3215

I don't know that a digital stimulant is possible. If you try to overload the brain sensors a la TikTok, you end up backfiring and causing lethargy. If you try to knock a specific method of sensory really hard a la Ryoji Ikeda, you really only end up driving the person crazy. You would somehow have to hit motivating neurons in a wide manner without exceeding their capacity and/or hit them in a way that inspires healthy action and not geeking out and collecting flashlights or something.

>>Who is the Nobody?
>The Nobody is a figure alive today who has extraordinary spiritual powers, including the ability to control reality with their conscious and unconscious mind. He is a man of no wealth or worldly acclaim through whom it seems God has chosen to manifest his strength and wisdom. He is said to carry the Logos, making him a fearless truth-teller and a menace to the powers that be.

so, what are these /ng/ threads on 4chan's /x/ about anyways? i've been a 4chan user since forever and i still don't get what any of this is supposed to mean
