They're all hosted via on the Internet Archive and embedded into the page, I couldn't really put all the images inside my Git repository my blog is hosted from, and wanted permanent hosting. If it's slow I can't help that unfortunately sorry.
Hi everyone. Today I finished my latest project which was archving 1584 photos (+2 videos) of LAN parties in Tasmania ranging from 1996 to 2010.
Previously these photos were lost to time until I got in contact with the right people.
Looking through the photos is a great blast of nostalgia, I hope you get some enjoyment from looking through them too!
Then either download the ones you're interested in manually as packs, as IA makes that very easy. Or, search through GitHub to find one of the bunch of IA downloading tools available.
Nice work! I ran some LANs ("LANded NT") and went to lots more up in Darwin, Northern Territory between 1999-2002, largest being ~150 people but sadly I think all related media has been lost. Previous had website, and was forum chatter with some photos about the events, but these days can't find anything. Photos you've got hear reminded me of these events, good times!
Valorant (game using kernel anti-cheat) is made by Riot Games, which is owned by Tencent (since 2011) a Chinese company with heavy ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
[1] "According to a report by Sina Tech in October 2017, Tencent employed over 7,000 members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ... "With over 7,000 CCP members, accounting for approximately 23% of the total workforce, and more than 60% of whom are core technical personnel, the number of CCP members at Tencent is increasing by nearly a thousand every year."
[2] "The Tencent Party Member Activity Center has a dedicated CCP member activity area of more than 6,000 square meters. More than 1 million yuan is allocated for CCP activities per year."
As someone who plays games every day, with ~3000 hours in Counter Strike at a decently high level. I've only ever encountered blatant hackers maybe 3 times in the last 10 years. I definitely do not care enough to start allowing random companies Kernel level access to my machine.
Having someone in arms reach to help out that knows the inner workings of Git so much must be a lovely perk of working on such projects at companies of this scale.
Certainly being in an org which has close ties to entities like GitHub helps, but any team in any org with that number of developers can justify the cost of bringing in a highly specialized consultant to solve an almost niche problem like this.
A community project to archive PlayStation 2 save game icon assets, and make them viewable/downloadable for free in your browser! We've built a small community and are approaching the 20% archival mark :)
