1 year ago@beto Universities were so important enabling things back then. I used to have accounts in several labs for nearby universities (UFSC, UFPR, etc.) - all hacked, and so did many others. We’d leave our files hidden away in the filesystem, create accounts with plausible-looking names, etc.
I always wondered if the sysadmins knew anything about what we were doing. A decade later I met an ex-lab admin and asked that. He said “know about it? We even added your secret directories to our tape backup.”
@eleitl that’s so expensive. Where do you live?
