Offline Computing - LAN is allowed, though

No Internet, what can you still use your computer for?

Everything except shitposting.

To look at naked photos of your mom

>koding

idk what else tho

Word processing, excel, professional, powerpoint, photoshop, shit like that. Single player video gayms too.

Share net from my phone of course. 4G is perfectly usable.

Quake lan party or killing floor

Remember the time I was student in 2000.
Had 100+ pcs shitty mixed coaxial/RJ-45 local networks.
2 buildings, 1 10Mbits/s link between them.
Running into segments issues, not seeing farther pcs all the time.
Basically 1 or 2 people having internets at home, bringing content over the week-end.
Everybody else just leeching each other.

i have lots of things that i can use on my desktop and i have physical cds and dvds too so that should not be a problem. i dont really even use the internet that much anymore.

man intensifies

play single player vidyas
read books
watch anime/series/movies
programming
clean your files

okay, that's the point where I'd unironically go back to windows instead of using linux. man is horrible and most of the time I couldn't figure out how to use a command even if my life depended on it.

How is going back to windows any better in this situation?

Unless it's a gui application man always saved my ass. It's like a blessing from Stallman after I learned about its existence.

Everything. I'm a digital hoarder, so:

> Movies
> Anime

This. You can still get epic kill streaks with offline gaming. Tis a fun time.

Once you terminal only you realize you can do so much more

Speak English nigger

You can sit there and read manuals

Hello kid.

How? For me manpages are like esoteric nonsense. They're so vague and non descripitve that even after repeatingly reading it, I'll still have to google for an example because manpages have been a waste of time.

If you really can get anything useful out of them I really want to disect your brain to see if you got a implant or a hidden third eye download knowledge from Aether/Universe/the demiurge because you certainly couldn't have gotten it from manpages!

what would they bring back? sounds comfy in a way.

he dun make big network. some time close pc no see far pc

if this was ylyl i would have losr

english of mine is good yes?

Mostly movies.
650 MB mostly because CDs.
Where it went to shit was when we tried to game on it.
We had to go door to door telling everyone to just stop downloading shit.

Programming, photo editing, reading, writing, /3/ stuff, games. Most things, really. My Linux distro would not be able to install new software from the repos, but I have all necessary 90s-2000s Windows software archived. I could make myself a nice retro setup with it, either on actual Windows or in Wine.

That said, if the Internet went down for a long time, it would mean some sort of a global-scale catastrophe. I'd probably be too busy stocking up on rations to enjoy mild retrocomputing.

That's because GNU man pages suck.

Pentest 127.0.0.1
Probably still connect

99% of the activities I perform using my computer are internet based, but the remaining 1% actually accounts for the majority of the time I spend on the computer, so I guess keep writing, producing music, and playing video games.

Download loads of ebooks from local internet cafe or library. Do a lot of reading.
Practice programming.
Anki.

I've got a wikipedia snapshot hosted locally, a full ide/linker/compiler for a ton of languages, and a word processor. What do I need the internet for

Get the fuck off and figure out something to do outside

lol, 10 Mbit, to think that was considered pretty decent back then. Also yeah Token ring was a real bitch in those days. One pc/nic goes, the whole lan/segment goes with it. But I did something similar back in the day w/ my 56k Dial-up modem. Shared it out to my neighbor's & fellow room mate. Back when 802.11b Wi-fi was as good as it got. Got tons of shit on my server + offline games so I'll be good for long while if internet went down for a bit.

not all manpages are made equal, neither are all programs. so it really depends on how you use it

VBA
ZSNES

digital hoarding is alpha

look at multi terabyte porn collection

Well, I can try disassemble some shit. Oh, I need books for it... Are libraries allowed?

i got a lot of music on my hdd

Programming, writing, reading, drawing, music, watching TV shows and movies, porn, single player and LAN multiplayer games, ripping/burning/playing optical discs

Samba server for play ISOs on consoles if don't have a good rig to emulate.

This. Terabytes upon Terabytes of stuff on my drives that I haven't looked at after downloading.

It sounds like you just don't know how to read user.

Make something in Visual Basic 6. I have a program I need to write, but I'll probably need to fuck around with language code table when user presses Ctrl + C, Ctrl +V, because when VB6 writes something to clipboard, and current input language doesn't match what you are copying, it will become ??? instead

I still have a big music,games,roms and animu collection to entertain myself for the next like 5 years or so

Shamefully I would have to inform you that I have been hoarding software, movies, games and have a fair ammount of books on about any subject. I think I will be good for a long time.

I'm trying to get rid of it. But there's more being made then a person can consume at this rate.

you sure about that?

I've always thought it would be neat to run an LAN imageboard for my community, but nobody would post on it.

just name your wifi BSSD "Free Tits" or somthing and make the imageboard a http redirect

oh yeah, i'd invite all my friends...

Yep it was trash.
Imagine when everyone from building A was trying to pull from building B.
So 50 people on a 10Mbit/s link.
The obvious thing to do was having one fucker pull it first from our side, then get it from him, but it would have required running around like mad.

man pages are like reference manuals. they are supposed to be complete.

you dont learn a new subject by studying the reference manual
