I\u2019m still pencil\u2019ed in for calling \u201cQ\u201d and \u201cJohn Titor\u201d larps, so call this one a Y2k38 theory. Never mind the IBM 5100 \u2014 my hypervisor runs on the FAR superior Bynes 5150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silicon Valley , and most tech companies, managers are clueless fucking asshats who procrastinate on known issues, ship software known to be bug addled as a GA release, and put every crisis off until the very last fucking minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IBM has lost some market share to products like Peoplesoft, which are capable of directly executing Fortran and assembly language, a bunch of HR departments and universities who were among \u201cthe first business entities even using mainframe computing\u201d have jumped off of the mainframe ship , or at least MODERNIZED their code and moved it to an up to date 64-bit IBM OS and server, that doesn\u2019t have the y2k38 problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just had a conversation with someone about AIX and whether it was a \u201cdead OS\u201d and had to check this one but it was updated in December of 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tons of hospitals still use AIX for weird use cases such as a federal requirement that they keep fetal monitor records stored electronically for 21 years \u2014 and that requirement alone is \u201csus\u201d as far as I am concerned but I will leave that alone <\/em>today \u2014 so they have a 21 year data retention that keeps creeping 21 years forward as more infants are born and monitored \u2014 sure.. they can clean up the old data \u2014 but they have a rolling 21 year period of mandatory data retention \u2014\u2013 and yeah, THOSE are the people paying IBM $100,000 \u2013 $250,000 a year for software support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s an example of something nobody wants to migrate off of, or have a low incentive to migrate off of, \u201cbecause it works\u201d and \u201cshit, even if we do switch vendors, that fucking thing STILL has to run and be accessible for 21 years\u201d and it\u2019s apparently such a strict requirement that if a deployment of a competing product \u2014 if there is one \u2014 and the new system fails to retain that data \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well anyway, there is a good reason McKesson and Epic do about half of their work in \u201cold\u201d existing systems via middleware functions rather than attempting to replace those back office\/back end functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suppose they shrug their shoulders and put off the y2k38 problem for another 14 years.. and they will, because that is how these dipshits run their businesses\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suppose everyone\u2019s pretty much fucked and dependent on IBM solving it if they are STILL on a legacy IBM mainframe\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suppose someone comes up with a platform capable of converting the old assembly\/mainframe\/cpm shit to and from unix and wants to capitalize on that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n And IBM says \u201cwe already invented that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The IBM 5100 \u2014 why wouldn\u2019t they advertise or document its capabilities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because these functions were intended for the sole use of IBM field techs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And patents and licenses start vaporizing left and right once that is revealed\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n The \u201cservices\u201d industry (ACS\/Xerox, CSC, many others not important enough to name, such as \u201cinfosys\u201d who dominates the government space and NOT by talent) didn\u2019t really come around until other hardware, OS, software, etc vendors existed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Had someone figured it out, and not been bound to a non-compete clause \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019d be rolling in literal fucking millions if not for such a non-compete clause , because I apparently know more detailed information about several hardware devices and software solutions out there in the field that I supported than, in some cases, the business units who designed , deployed, and sold them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask me again \u201cwhy all these evil big tech firms do evil things?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I believe in technology, science, and<\/em> the spiritual just as surely as I believe in, and can explain Sargent\u2019s proprietary methods of submastering via the use of warded clusters of three superceded by one key that fits them all. If we were in a \u201csimulation\u201d , I suppose the \u201csource\u201d (the mysterion, the sacred secret, the jesuchristo, it has more names than I do) would be the supervisor and our \u201cdimension\u201d would be the hypervisor , and you and I would be individual \u201cprocesses\u201d in some sort of \u201cvirtual machine\u201d if you wanted or cared to look at it that way. I haven\u2019t really thought that one out , \u201cfuck it, we\u2019re gonna do it live!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Human behavior is not predictable\u00a0unless it is kept in a limited frame of perception. I postulate that we have been deliberately kept in a limited frame of perception via propaganda , media , suppression, and outright falsehoods since at LEAST the 1950s owing to the fact that the computing resources available at that time were only capable of computing likely outcomes and probabilities of two scenarios or inputs. In order for \u201cthat\u201d matrix to work, and accurately \u201cpredict\u201d future outcomes, people must be kept in a limited frame of perception, addled with drugs, bombarded with lies and propaganda etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think history will show many cases where \u201csome people did some things\u201d so that we would stay more or less within \u201cacceptable parameters\u201d based on that technology. And now, there is better technology, quantum technology , that is still pretty bad, but can be trained to guess better than its predecessor technology, and wouldn\u2019t I love to be a fucking fly on the wall for what its real conclusions are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not about \u201ctechnology,\u201d all this stuff about the pyramids, portals, alternate tracks, I actually do believe \u201cthat\u2019s a thing ,\u201d and that these will open up for certain people under certain circumstances, whether due to their innate characteristics, (or in some cases yes , drugs) and in still other cases, indeed, due to both. I believe in that shit way more than I believe in \u201ctime\u201d travel, because as of the present time, as I have repeatedly said, I do not believe in time. Time is a manifestation of perception, and if there is a way to record what has happened, what is happening, or where all of that converges, and technology is in any way involved, it would likely involve background radiation or something like that , that can be read by technological means. This is not important and it\u2019s probably not that difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that \u201ctrauma victims have black and white, all or nothing thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n And BPDs, whether innate or just drawn that way , or raped or brainwashed into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem with a scenario of a \u201ctime traveler\u201d becoming widely believed, plausible, or proven , is that it would cause people to escape from their limited frame of perception, is that this shatters their \u201cblack and white, all or nothing, there are only two possible outcomes or paths forward\u201d frame of mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I suspect, given enough time, someone\u2013 I do not purport to predict anything \u2014 will pull off a stunt that is literally going to sledgehammer the fucking screen, think \u201cmichael jackson is actually still alive\u201d or something fun like that, that would make everyone realize they have been lied to about everything, forever, but at the same time won\u2019t reduce everyone to 10\/10 gibbering straightjacket material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n [as an aside, this would be an example of a \u201cdecoherence\u201d level event. I am sure someone with a better sense of humor and\/or more resources at their disposal can come up with something more original than that.]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So if human behavior is only \u201cpredictable\u201d when it is kept in a limited frame of mind or perception, and someone else has \u201ccracked the code\u201d on predicting human behavior or societal outcomes, this leaves us with your answer for their desire .. no\u2026 PANIC .. to keep every single one of us on a tighter leash and control our movements our communications, what we are allowed to see on TV or post online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever\u2019s coming they want to make goddamn sure , that nobody is aware of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That nobody can discuss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That nobody will ever believe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Believe it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine what we don\u2019t know they\u2019ve done, or what they are working against our interests to cover up or enrich themselves with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find yourself in a situation that looks like blue beam fuckery, I suggest you leave the area in a calm and orderly fashion. Leave the state altogether if possible. It\u2019s either Jesus or glowniggers. If it\u2019s Jesus and you\u2019re good, you\u2019re good. If it\u2019s Jesus and you ain\u2019t good, stay calm anyway, he\u2019ll get to you next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So , you can either infer that .. I have either experienced exactly what I said I did \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that I have a very fucking compelling reason that I would even say that to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or you can check me off for \u201ccuckoo for Cocoa Puffs,\u201d<\/em> I don\u2019t really fucking care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe if it is a test, it\u2019d be for the BEST if you listen to your OWN instincts.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m still pencil\u2019ed in for calling \u201cQ\u201d and \u201cJohn Titor\u201d larps, so call this one a Y2k38 theory.
