Tmp.0ut Volume 5
- Rendello 3mo agoThis one was good: Interview: Doug McIlroy: https://tmpout.sh/5/2.html https://tmpout.sh/5/2.html
- kenanfyi 2mo agoThat was an amazing read.
- vivzkestrel 3mo ago- i like visual - can we get a whole magazine that explains ideas like this? https://visualrambling.space/neural-network/ https://visualrambling.space/neural-network/
- bargainbin 2mo agoLove the aesthetic. There was another ezine like this years ago focused on cybersecurity, I’ve forgotten its name now but the ASCII art involved was top notch. Does anyone have any idea? It was definitely when Twitter was still Twitter as I remember reaching out to them about their ASCII art.
- mckirk 2mo agoMaybe you're thinking of Phrack [1]? I wonder if there'll be another edition of it, and if yes what it would look like, now that the AIpocalypse seems to have reached security research... [1]: https://phrack.org https://phrack.org
- bargainbin 2mo agoNot Phrack but I did find it, ThugCrowd [1]! [1]: https://thugcrowd.com/archive.html https://thugcrowd.com/archive.html Edit to add, apparently one of the ThugCrowd people is part of tmp.0ut so that would explain why my mind immediately went there.
- guitmz 2mo agothere will be a new Phrack this year still!
- mckirk 2mo agoThank you, that is very reassuring to know :D (and interactions like these are part of the reason why I <3 HN)
- bibelo 2mo agoDarnet Diaries'episode about the legendary phrack https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/170/ https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/170/
- nekooooo 2mo agowow, actual hackers
- atannen 2mo agoGood interview with McIlroy. Fix this: Goldstine, as in the citations, not Goldstein, as in the body text. Also, the text mentions CDC 1620. I don't think this existed. Either it was IBM 1620 or CDC something else. I'd be just as happy with clear readable type, but the content is the thing.
- iberator 2mo agoVery cool and BBS/hacking style. BUT almost useless on mobile :( I prefer to use a PC but that kind of articles are perfect to read when commuting. You could just use <br> instead of fixed length words per line.
- russellbeattie 2mo agoAgreed. Though apparently you're being downvoted for a legitimate issue. I'm laying down using my phone and it's not particularly enjoyable to read. It's 2026 - the site can look like an old-skool zine being displayed with monospace fonts on a computer monitor and easily still have alternate formats for mobile devices. Not having it is just pure laziness. I wouldn't mind if Reader Mode could deal with the text, but it can't. Oh well.
- guerrilla 2mo agoWow, it's been a while since anyone published anything this interesting.
- jenders 2mo agoAgreed. Love stuff like this. Keep it comin’
- debo_ 2mo agoThe interview with Doug McIlroy is incredible. It's almost worth a link all on its own.

- glimshe 2mo agoA small window to how we used to spread deep computer topics in the 90s. No substacks or X posts. Very cool.
- sph 2mo agoNo boring themes either. There was more than the corporate bland aesthetic.
- p-e-w 2mo agoThey all converged to looking the same though. An unreadable fantasy font logo at the top, multiple concentric frames, dot lines, l33t speech etc. And I absolutely remember people complaining about slop in such intros even in the 90s, they just didn’t use that term.
- darkstar_16 2mo agoI miss the ezines scene!
- sph 2mo agoSeeing stuff like this reminds me why I got into computers in the late 90s. Human ingenuity paired with love for the art and the craft. Good to have a reminder that it’s software engineering that has changed, not me.
- yesitcan 2mo agoThings were less load-bearing back then.
- brettermeier 2mo agoVery nice aesthetics.
- BodyCulture 2mo agoIt would be great if you hacked your website to be better usable on a smaller mobile device! I need to zoom in to read, but then I also need to scroll sideways because of fixed layout. You can do both, achieve a cool retro style and publish in a more modern format that supports multiple output devices.
- hk__2 2mo ago…Or use a non-modern format and serve it as .txt, which supports all devices. The only downside is you’ll lose colors, but they are not strictly required.

- NDlurker 2mo agoThe mixtape is great. Not sure what genre this would be considered but it's very interesting https://soundcloud.com/blotter1/blotter_tmp0ut_2026 https://soundcloud.com/blotter1/blotter_tmp0ut_2026
- crtasm 2mo agoDirect link, no tracking: https://soundcloud.com/blotter1/blotter_tmp0ut_2026/ https://soundcloud.com/blotter1/blotter_tmp0ut_2026/
- NDlurker 2mo agoThanks. I don't use SoundCloud so didn't recognize that as a tracking link. Will edit the post
- nanoxide 2mo agoI'm sure someone has a more precise idea on what it's called, but I would lean towards minimal DnB.
- skrebbel 2mo agoFeels a bit like a waste that the lovely diskmag interface doesn't seem to have a play button for this mixtape. Hope they add that in future issues.
- josefritzishere 2mo agoThis is gorgeous; supremely impressive.
- harel 2mo agoThis reminds me that I have a stack of 2600 magazines in the garage somewhere. I need to revisit them...
- Insanity 2mo agoDamn, that's a lot of magazines! Sorry, couldn't resist. Never got those as it was a bit before my time, I started coding in 2004'ish in EU and wasn't aware of 2600 until much later. Not sure if they ever moved digital?
- harel 2mo agoHa! It took me a few more ms than it should have. Yes it seems they have digitised at least in part: https://www.2600.com/ https://www.2600.com/
- joshuaS98 2mo ago``` How can people write big systems in general? We do, but as you say, they're often debugged into existence rather than cleanly designed into existence. ```
- chews 2mo agoreally missed an opportunity to make this available via SSH shell or renderable in lynx.
- pixelpoet 2mo agoIs the zero instead of capital O in the title intentional?
- megagpt1 2mo agoCloudflare's captcha uses half of the obfuscation techniques from the code virtualization article, but in javascript
- monster_truck 2mo agoSo does alibaba for their platform anti abuse/fingerprinting shit
- 8bitsrule 2mo agoWhen I zoom in, the right half of the page becomes invisible.
