Lainchan ZeeMap

I think it would be really cool to meet people from this community, so I made a lainchan zeemap. Here's the link: https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1432746 There's no need to register in order to add your marker, but you have to save the URL it gives you to be able to edit it later. I'm also making a rule that you have to include a way to contact you. Unreachable Lainons will have their markers removed.

I'm not sure this is such a good idea, but I still added a marker.

>>9933 Nice double dubs! I will do this on Saturday, once I am back home and will be able to save the URL. >TFW don't own laptop

Oh, and if you lose your URL, just shoot me a message and I can generate a new one for you. >>9943 Yeah, I figured not everyone would be comfortable with the idea, but you don't have to put a marker in your exact location, and you can talk to people before deciding how/whether to meet and such.

I imagine its simpler to look for a hackerspace than make us meet up.

I don't want to meet with people from my country, they are always so rude.

>>9956 >simpler to look for a hackerspace I for one only have like three in my half of the state, and the closest is roughly an hour away, and they make you pay membership for everything after your first meeting.

I think that this is a neat idea, and I might shoot someone here a message if I ever get really bored. I know I am not getting to meet anyone new, since I am fairly certain I know all of the lainchan users in the whole country.

Cool how spaced out the lainons are!

>>9956 I actually go to one, but I don't really like the people there. I've come to the realization that the kind of people that I would like to hang out with is the kind of people that I won't find outside, hence I'm trying to find them online. >>9957 If everyone seems rude, you might be doing something wrong. Maybe a lainon could help you find out what?

>>9959 How's that possible?

>>9966 He's NSA.

I'm puzzled by how people still add empty markers despite me emphasizing that a contact address must be included. The same thing happened on the other community I tried this, but this time I included a warning on the top of the page... >>9968 And here I was thinking I would be the one to be accused of being NSA.

>>9979 >the other community I tried this spooky. why are you collecting information on innocent, friendly lains?

>>9984 How is that even a question? Isn't it evident that having a lainon friend would be awesome? We could do DIY projects, practice programming together, argue about tech and anime, hang out at night. Basically, I would like to bring IRL the things I love online. I tried the whole hackerspace thing, but there wasn't anyone that I'd genuinely want to hang out with, so I'm trying to find out if there isn't anyone from the communities I participate in living in my area. Lainchan is the second one I make a map of, and I already have a third in mind. By the way, I also made a map for Free Software enthusiasts, but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with it: https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1324759

I like the idea of one person adding their address and getting in touch with other area lains, that way people who are uncomfortable sharing personal information can still meet up and have parties in stuff. at least if there's enough of them >>9989 putting your address on zeemaps isn't really telling the NSA anything more than they already know - it's also very unlikely you'll get doxxed since we don't do that here. Even then, unless you're a big name in the IRC there's nothing to worry about.

>>9990 Yeah, that's a good idea. In another map, I saw a marker that said something like "There are three people around here, if you want to talk to us mail <address>." There are also people who run meet up groups and mention that on their markers. >putting your address on zeemaps isn't really telling the NSA anything more than they already know - it's also very unlikely you'll get doxxed since we don't do that here. Even then, unless you're a big name in the IRC there's nothing to worry about. Not to mention you don't have to reveal your own address, just the area you're in/willing to visit. Also no need to use your real name or online handle.

>>9984 No one is innocent, my friend. Not even a lainchan anon.

People keep adding markers without a contact address. Am I missing something? Should I remove that rule? >mfw having to delete a lainchan mod's marker

>>10155 I think they should at least have a name, so people know who to contact on IRC or whatever. Or just ask in this thread "Hey is <Name> here from <Area>?"

>>10162 I think if you want to be contacted by IRC that's fine, but you have to explicitly mention that, what your nick is, and what networks you usually are on. Preferably having a permanently connected client. >Or just ask in this thread "Hey is <Name> here from <Area>?" If someone has to come here to ask about nearby people, that defeats the whole point of having the map in the first place. It would also be incredibly spammy.

>>10155 I went to go put down a marker just because I want a map of where lains are but then I saw the warning. Your choice single purpose or dual purpose I guess?

>>9966 Small country, mediocre education in general, I already know two people who use lainchan. The chances of someone else using it as well are pretty low.

>>10155 OP maybe point towards a site for an easy dummy email for anyone who doesn't have one. ie someone posted teknik.io in /cyb/. You can create an account with only a username + pw and it gives you a small cloud server, pastebin, blog & email - all with an emphasis on privacy and transparency. Also, 4chon.net used to auto-generate a map based on poster ips

any of you guys received any messages through your map contacts?

>meeting people from the Internet N O P E O P E

Added a marker.

>>10168 I'm not even sure whether allowing them would make it for a more or less accurate map of where people are from. What do other lainons say? >>10465 >The chances of someone else using it as well are pretty low. That doesn't follow. If you already know two people that participate here, chances are there are more. >>10466 I'd rather people use addresses that they actually check. I think suggesting a new provider would encourage throwaway accounts, which would be worse than having no contact at all. Of course, if they have/make a secondary address that they do check every now and then, that's perfectly fine. >>10492 What's with this reaction? >>10494 You forgot to fill in your address.

>>10512 I think everyone here would be reasonable about it and not put troll locations. I also think seeing more markers would encourage people to add markers on the other hand, it kind of changes the purpose of the map, doesn't it?

>>10512 >If you already know two people that participate here, chances are there are more. One of them showed Lainchan to me and I know that he has literally no other tech-oriented contacts in the country, and I showed Lainchan to the other one. I don't really think that he has shared this place with anyone yet. >What's with this reaction? People are horrible, nothing more, nothing less.

>>10515 >I think everyone here would be reasonable about it and not put troll locations. That's not what the stuff we're getting is leading me to believe. > I also think seeing more markers would encourage people to add markers The reason I'm holding off on deleting them, but I think I will end up doing it in the end. >>10520 Out of curiosity, may I ask where are you from?

>>10546 >Out of curiosity, may I ask where are you from? I usually don't tell anything to anyone online, but I think you guys are trustworthy enough - I am from Latvia. I should probably note that the first guy has disappeared from the face of the Earth and is likely not in the country anymore. I am sure he's alive, but I haven't talked to him for quite some time now.

>>10550 >I think you guys are trustworthy enough That's an odd thing to say on an anonymous imageboard. I think what makes it okay to share your location here is that you're still anonymous, so it's not like you are really putting an address to your name the way people do it on social networks.

I somehow doubt that any lainons live in Oklahoma, but I'll still give this a shot.

>>10546 that's ncl's website

>>10561 And I even thought about checking if it is a valid domain, but didn't end up doing it. How embarrassing. >>10556 You are in the middle of the US, Youmu-chan. That's where most of the markers are. Is there something special about Oklahoma that makes you say that?

>>10562 Midwest is nowhere land.

>>10556 I'm in OK. Wanna meet & fuarrrk?

No one in Brazil? There was a bunch of you in the "Where are you" thread.

silesia. disgusting, pomerania rlz.

>>10555 >That's an odd thing to say on an anonymous imageboard. I'd say that it is not as weird as saying the same if this place had mandatory names. I have no reputation to uphold and you can't track any of my posts anyway. It't not like you can do much with this information, too.

>>10576 >pomerania enjoy your floods while I enjoy my post-industrial landscape

>>10580 speaking of industrial. Even industrial/breakcore/gabber scene is better up here. I kinda envy you great noise scene, but not much since most of it is concentrated elsewhere.

>>10582 well I'm sceptic towards all the artfags and such we have spots for urban exploration though, often with lots gears, grease and things to salvage it's generally pretty nice out here, I wonder where all those stereotypes about silesia and silesians actually come from

>>10583 madzia, fact that worst tripfags come from Silesia very easy piss-off-able people, WYNGIEL. IMO best noise had to develop on Silesia precisely of reasons you posted. Also. gabber/breakcore == artfags. What the fuarrrk?

>pomerania >silesia oh hai, mazovia reporting in

>>10586 soykaf i don't know how to soykaf on mazowiacks properly. I envy you noise waste.

>>10585 madzia happened in sosnowiec while it is technically silesia at the moment (within the administrative boundaries) it's beyond the brynica river so it is not silesian land. There is also a very noticeable difference in both language and customs. It's like the Bronx. for tripfags I can not account, as I rend to stay away from polish sites/boards I don't believe that we'd have tempers any shorter than the national average and I don't see how anyone could have any issue with coal and "coal culture" >artfags what I meant is that I don't follow scene much, domestic or not, because I think they're mostly just tossers.

>>10588 another thing. caring too much about land/language/fuarrrking everything. I don't know anything about the scene too, I just like to hear some purehellafukinoisearmaggedon, and since concert are far better than recordings I am bound to know scene. Polish boards are full of soykaf, but once in a while something amazing happens, so I can go there for about 5mins a day. I believe temper is the same too, but as I said caring specifically about land and language. That's why it's easier to piss you off. Just because some know precisely where to attack.

>>10589 >>10590 well, I only remarked on the geography of our land, because you have to be aware of that to place the events properly. Majority of people isn't aware of that and neither us nor sosnowichans like to be thrown into same bag. >caring specifically about land and language >bad it's real neat and many people care there's a sense of community to it you can also take the piss out of the non-natives 10/10 I strongly recommend

>>10591 well I know sosnowiec, it's like "outside", never through it was so much "outside". I can't understand this concept of belonging, but it generates butthurt, so it's useful.(Pawlacz you blue fuarrrk)

>>10592 >(Pawlacz you blue fuarrrk) u wot

>>9933 I don't think that this is such a good idea, because "muh anonymity" and this >>10492

>>10593 just a joke about our saint pope

>>10597 oh well, guess I'm not 'in' on those jokes

>>10598 well i assumed that you stay away from there precisely of that reason

Okay I added a maker. Just hope I don't come to regret this.

>>10564 If meet & fuarrrk means smoke and play vidya then yes.

>>10606 I added a marker in Gothenburg Sweden, contact at irlfriendcollector@cock.li

I like this chan. I was on 8ch since the "exxodus", but I like this place so much more. That being said, I wouldn't mind meeting people in person. I'm in the midwest us, and I could drive somewhere if people wanted to meet up.

>tfw all alone >tfw no one to hug in the cold north winter of canada ;-;

>>11087 just as well... there are no femlainons anyway.

>>10574 I just added my mark there, too shy to start a conversation right now though. HUE.

Any other Virginia Lainons here? I know for a fact that one of my professors browses lainchan, and we get along very well, so it'd be interesting to meet other lainons. I'm the Richmond marker by the way, hit me up at the listed email if you're nearby. >>10492 If the were 8chan I'd be even more skeptical than you, but most people here seem like very chill and genuinely kind people.

>>11092 sup dude I live in arlington so if you ever fimd yourself in DC we could meet up

>>11094 Same applies if you ever drop by the Richmond area. Until then, which of the anons near DC should I email? There's "junk" and NSA anon, not sure which one is you though.

added a marker >tfw so far away

>>9990 >it's also very unlikely you'll get doxxed since we don't do that here. This is incredibly naive. Yes lainchan is generally a friendly place but it's still the internet. Don't take chances with your personal information.

>>11098 I'm Junk theres 1-2 other people here too

First for the maritimes, now we have four Canadians

>>10491 I would like to know this too.

who's the north bay lainon that lives in santa rosa? if I pass my driving test next week (can't believe I put it off for so long, should have started when I was still in high school) I'm down for an SF meetup if we could get like 1-2 more lainons near the bay to join us.

>>11198 marker added! im southern california, but if you guys ever wanted to keep the party going and drive six or seven long hours south we could go to all the awesome taco bells in my area. seriously though, if any lainon wanted to meet up on the california coast and bum around in ways undetermined for an undetermined period of time, i would be so fuarrrking down.

>>11202 if I ever have to go down to the LA area I'll hit you up then man! Might have to visit friends/relatives down there in a few months if you're still going to be in the area

Northest and purest lainanon.

>>11248 Neanderthal genes :3

>>11259 I bet you are some svenska pojkar who doesn't even like SD.

>>11279 seeing this image made me somehow feel as if it was 2007 again

>>11301 May I ask why?

>>11304 the girl in the picture was posted somewhat often on /b/ around that time iirc was it just some random pic you got saved and you were unaware?

>>11305 Oh, no, I'm not keen on /b/ culture, so I thought it might have been some obscure web singer, performer, or something like that.

>>11306 add greasy gravure model to the list and that's pretty much it you seem too much on point to just have guessed that or I just have too much knowledge of internet nobodies of the decades past

>>11307 >>11307 I took a guess based on the information on >>11301 ; She was someone from eights years ago, photogenic, with access to a good camera, and on top of it someone remembered the time estimated she was floating around in the internet. I didn't post her, eftersom jag inte är en liten svenska pojke.

>>10168 >I went to go put down a marker just because I want a map of where lains are but then I saw the warning. The mods should have more accurate statistics of this.

>only one other lainon in same city >too scared to contact or post location >no programming skills >NEET with ADD >no car >trying to get life back on track I think I'll have to pass this one up.

>>11327 I'll pick up weird carless neets. The least threatning strangers.

>>11330 Haha almost sounds like you are a predator and NEETS are easy prey. I look psycho though since I've been growing dreads and beard. People IRL give me second looks... Based on the location the lainon provided, I could easily fit in with the homeless drug addicts nearby.

Omg, another Lainon in Santiago.

>>11335 >Haha almost sounds like you are a predator and NEETS are easy prey. That's a little paranoid. >trying to get life back on track >I look psycho Start by fixing your goddamn appearance then. Seriously, it sounds like you have problems and a lain friend could only help.

>>11327 come to daddy.

>>11335 >>11345 Wasn't my >>11330 post btw. I think dreads are a good choice only if your hair is genetically nappy beyond control. Plenty of clean professional black men wear dreads in a ponytail. There are some subculture stores like Zumiez and Hot Topic that will be cool with it especially. Beards... just depends. You don't want to give off that reddit vibe. Pale skin especially clashes with facial hair. Most guys who look good with beards are construction worker type guys who are "fit"(quotations because there are plenty of beer guts in that business) and out in the sun all day.

>>11327 Holy soykaf. You are literally me.

>>11327 >>11354 heh i also have no car, slight programming knowlege, decent at networking and comp sec, but lots of linux and hardware knowledge. i finally put a marker on the map, but the only other one in my state seems to be spam. :/

>>11310 Jag santsing du är svenska. Du är bara rädd för min finska manlighet. Också vad är de bästä snus? Jag vilja slut rökning.

>>11345 >paranoid That's why I said almost. I am pretty sure someone posting on a lain bear suit sewing forum is probably harmless. Any potentially dangerous lain is at most a keyboard /k/ommando. >fix appearance I just need to cut my hair and beard and I will look like a normie again. But for now it isn't necessary since I am just studying for a placement exam. That's what I am doing to get my life back on track. >>11353 I am neither tanned nor nappy haired. I look like a skater so it sort of works I guess. >>11354 I have a feeling there are many more like us here. >>11356 At least you have some abilities. The best I can do is crack WiFi passwords.

>>11390 I meant I dress like a skater. Whether I really look like one or another crazy hobo is subjective.

In Georgia for the next 9-odd months; let's see where this leads.

There seem to be a number of pins without contact information. Should they be removed or should they be left to show the general distribution of user?

Texas/Nebraska/Missouri lains lets meet up !

>>11513 My original intention was to remove all of them, but people insist on adding them, so I don't know. There's some discussion upthread >>10155

Just added my marker. I am surprised that I was the first person to add a marker in the Northwest U.S. Where are my lains in Washington and Oregon? I know you are out there somewhere.

Ok i must know, is that girl masturbating in the pic?

>>11523 If it's a girl why would it need tissues ?

>>11524 I think he's talking about the girl on the left.

>>11524 >>11544 It's obviously a cold. That's why their faces are red.

>>11524 >If it's a girl That's a big "if"

>>11524 They are touhous, which are all female. Also, are you implying that girls don't get wet down there...?

>>11561 >which are all female >implying Wriggle is female You can't fool me anon.

>>11551 THey why is the one with rabbit ears blushing and covering the eyes of the little girl?

>>11568 They are playing "Guess the series by listening to this snippet." Note the music note next to the notebook.

>>10574 >>11090 We just have people in São Paulo? Cariocas, unite!

>>11587 There is another anon from RJ.

Are there any lainons from Washington or Oregon?

Awww shieet. Joku homo turkulainen täällä.

>>11676 Hello! From Redmond (the WA, micro$haft one). I probably wouldn't want to meet up with anyone though (sorry).

>Marker in Bournemouth Show yourself.

Is anyone in Colorado but me?

>>11859 Me

>find one other lainon in the same state (maine) >no contact info bad vibes, man

>>11843 That's fine, I don't really want to meet up, either. ... In other news, are there any lainons in Idaho? Especially the Nampa or Boise area? I am going to school there, so I am wondering. If not, I will have to induct people into Lainchan.

Hmu lupus, im close to you

>>11956 Buy some stickers and post them around your school. Then youll have lainons aroung you

>>11976 Will try this. I will possibly target some of the CS majors to start with. Maybe put stuff in the building that houses multiple disciplines of science? I'll do that when I get a chance.

>>11587 We are trying to arrange a meeting in São Paulo. Do you think you'd be willing to travel all the way here?

hey so now I'm in fredericksburg for college any1 wanna meet up?

Theres a guy just 2 hours away from me but he has left no contact information. I'm talking to you, Munich-chan.

>>10465 >mediocre education Gee you should come visit the schools here in Spain...

>>11090 >>12737 >lainon from Sao Paulo >lives on Rua Tosca feliz 7 de setembro

>tfw posted Gmail Don't fuarrrk me up lainons Please

>>13148 All these lainons in southern Germany without contact info sadden me.

Not one single fuarrrker in Ireland, North or South of the border. Not that it matters anyway. Wouldn't meet up with any of you hun / fenian (please choose your preferred religious slur) bastards anyway.

>>13340 >I-it's not like I'd meet up with you anyway, b-baka! Stop being so tsuntsun, Ireland-chan.

>>13341 What the feck did you just fecking say ta me, you wee cunt? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my brigade in the Provies, and I’ve been involved in numerous guerilla attacks on the Brits, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in guerilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in South Armagh. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the feck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fecking words. You think you can get away with saying that shite to me over the Internet? Think again, fecker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Shinner sympathisers across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for a fecking shoeing. The shoeing that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Yer fecking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven ways, and that’s just with car bombs. Not only am I extensively trained in bomb making, but I have access to the entire arsenal of IRA arms dumps with loads of shite we got from Gaddafi as well as from the Shinner sympathisers in the US. And I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable arse off the face of the planet, you wee cunt. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fecking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you ballbeg. I will shite fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fecking dead, wee lad.

>>13340 I'm a Fenian lainanon, but much like yourself, the odds of me meeting up with anyone would be slim. Just making this post to make the point there's more than one Irish lainanon here, so that we don't look quite as much of a fuarrrking technological backwater as we could.

>>13347 Replace dozens with two. There's fuarrrking two of us. Clearly we're only two of a select few in the whole of Ireland that can jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace.

One of you lives right next to my uni. Not sure how I feel about offline meetups though. Sounds kinda sketchy.

>>13348 Another Fenian here. It's nice to see my fellow country-men here. Though there isn't much chance I'm going to meet up with anyone, let alone mark my position on the map.

>go to add marker >there's already one in my town (York) >barrucadu >close tab d-doshio?

WHERE MY FLORIDA LAINONS

>>14239 How have we not had a major hurricane in 10 years?

Still looking for people from Idaho. I invited some people here, but then a few soykaf threads happened, so I am not sure if they stayed (because they were new and all.)

Sweet, two other people in Iowa, hopefully we can get some schway netflix and chill going :D

There are quite a few lainons on here

Looks like I am the only italainon around here Feels good man

>>11676 Hello, from Moses Lake, WA! I'm on a closed campus without a car though, so I might not be able to meet.

go away NSA

Hello other Lainon from Knoxville, TN.

>still the northest lainanon I'm so lonely. It's cold and dark here.

Awww yeah, someone is in Boston Mass, I'm in Salem if anyone is near.

>>16083 Bures. Nordic Lain meetup when?

>>16161 Depends.. do you take it in the ass?

>>16021 I live in Idaho in a town near Nampa. I dont know about meeting up though.

>>16107 Let's meet up dude! I'll bring my ass

>>16272 >I dont know about meeting up though W-why not, lainon?

>>9947 I was thinking about getting a laptop, but holy hell modern day laptops are fragile as soycaff. The only thing that is remotely close to the robust madness of the olden days is the thinkpad but that is expensive and lenovo.

>>16295 I dont know, I'm not really sure what you do during a meetup with someone you dont know.

>>16298 Buy a used thinkpad that isn't too old

>>16316 >I'm not really sure what you do during a meetup with someone you dont know. Meet in a public place the first time during daylight hours, so that you can establish that neither of you are shifty glitterboys. Why? Well, you want there to be some level of trust between people. The first meeting wouldn't have to be long, either JK, can I live with you for the next 5-10 years?. Then we move on from there if we decide it is worth it. Email me at pusher@national.shitposting.agency if you're still interested.

>>16343 alright, I sent you an E-mail.

Has anyone managed to meet up through these things? I've managed to contact several people from different zeemaps, but they all stop responding after a while. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.

>tfw luleå faget didn't share a way to contact him or add me in steam ;_; Am I doomed to wander the wastelands of Lapland alone?

That's kinda depressing that the closest Lainanons to me are either in Serbia or Poland.
