If you do have even one black specifically, I'd be extremely happy with being able to get it. A red one would interest me as well...

Man, I wish there was a blank black 275 key for rshift out there somewhere. Do those exist?

Am I also correct in thinking that r4 and r2 are completely identical for all R5, just upside down (and no difference for blanks) compared to each other?

I'd definitely like to see clear terms for the wiki text content just like most wikis have. With no clear terms I guess the original authors retain their copyright and it's unclear what rights exactly even deskthority itself has on the content... A wiki as a platform could be seen as implying at ...

Thanks Muirium! The red & grey looks as good as I feared... I may have to extend my R5a order once again...

This thread is making things difficult for my wallet. Any chance of seeing more of the red, Muirium? Like a red mods + grey combo?

Checked in the bitsavers PDF archive and found this brochure for DXS:

The Model 914A Video Display Terminal is the basic CRT unit of DXS. The 914A

A really beautiful keyboard, hope I'll get to find out more about how it was used.

Great shots and a sweet looking board. A bit sad that I missed the sale since it even supports split space bar.

I always blamed it on Geekhack being hosted in the US as opposed to Deskthority in Europe, but it looks like it's slow for everyone.
To be fair, being hosted in the US can have a major effect. HTTPS can also make it much slower since there will be more round trips involved and you should not use ...

I strongly doubt that an EC2 micro instance would be sufficient for running GH though.

@geekhackinfo: Our 8+ year relationship with our datacenter provider was officially terminated today. When we have a plan, we'll let you know.

This sheds some light on why they're still down.

Never mind. I'm blind and only read the comments after the one where this was already posted.

Haha, this resurrected thread has comments on how "reddit noobs" spoiled GH. Ran into another much older thread on DT about how even before that GH was spoiled by OCN noobs. Guess some things happen again and again.

There will always be new people. Some of them stay interested and eventually become ...

I just checked again and now can't get to his account. looks Twitter removed it. I saw that link to the YouTube video but didn't watch it.
Are you sure it's not just he himself who removed it? Twitter has a history of being pretty permissive with these things (which I think is a good thing ...

Yeah they said it would be down for the weekend, which doesn't make any sense if the attack is over...
Seriously? I don't understand what they're trying to accomplish with that at all...

Guess there's some similar logic involved as in "making a statement about hacking" by doing a denial of ...

It's a really nice shot. Can you give some details on how that plate's done and what the case is etc, or will all be revealed in due time?

Still hosted on iMav's home server :?

The website has no real upkeep costs, so any donations go elsewhere .. :roll:

At least that's what I heard. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
The IP whois data does seem to suggest it's at least located in a data center. Wonder what kind of traffic GH ...

Seemed to be running it from Amazon EC2 in the video.

So because of a DDOS they're... voluntarily out of service until further notice. Guess that's a very successful DDOS then.

That's nice. Just didn't know the term I needed to look for to find it previously. Took a look at a pre-downtime tab that has GH open and yeah, it does seem to have a "Spy" on the menu.

Try the forum spy. We have less threads around here but they're generally pretty busy and informative.

First of all though: where's your monocle? This is DT, gentlemen!

Thanks! That's exactly what I've longed for. GH wouldn't happen to have a similar feature, would it?

This downtime is ...

Amazing, never expected to see such a collection. I assume that covers pretty much all the rarest ones apart from the prototype presented in the thread about them.
