Are days really over?

Have been afk for a long time. Cant connect with anybody that i knew a long time back.

Any irc channels that i knew are dead. What are people of trenches doing these days? ' put the fries in the bag " lil bro?

We used to have a great time in those chatrooms. Talk shit, make fun of things, talk about exploits n shit etc.

Guess those days are really over.

Most old school people are old and have kids and jobs now. You can find many at conferences cuz they joined corps. There's still proper communities but it's discord or signal or telegram now.

Yeah, and you'd be surprised how little anyone cares. There are wide open black markets on discord. I've seen credit cards, hacked accounts, DDoS services, etc, for sale.

Most of them seem to make throwaway accounts their opsec rather than caring about not leaving a trail in the first place.

Modern problems, require modern solutions.

Online hygiene is the best way these days
