Slice of /cyb/

Post pictures of little cyberpunk aspects of where you live. It could be a piece of architecture, or closet where you keep old tech, or a view from the window. Basically, any visual thing that gives you that particular /cyb/ feel. You can elaborate on the cyberpunk nature but that's not required Pic related, the view from my window. I live in a tiny cramped apartment in the Chinatown of a huge city, so I get 'that' feel quite often

Oh hell yeah. I used to live in an apartment on the edge of a weird, incredibly tall, super narrow "courtyard" like that. Just big enough for them to fit a dumpster at the bottom that carted out through the basement, so everyone just kinda shot their trash down through it. Kinda gross but it definitely had that low life vibe. Suсked when some babyѕһіt diaper from the 30th floor went splat on top of your window-box AC though. There's an abandoned film set near where I live that's fun to skulk around it. It's kind of cyberpunk. Bonus points if you recognize which movie.

>>5666 The classic architecture against the industrial/noir setting reminds me heavily of Blade Runner, great pics anon. Although I can't tell what film it's actually from. Are you from L.A.? Another apartment pic, my gf's mother's altar.

>>5668 Supposedly it's the set for the Battle Angel Alita movie recently made by Robert Rodriguez. I never actually watched it. You can probably deduce my general area from that. Hmm. Whoa, that shrine is rad. I love the water meter bringing in some industrial feel.

Datamine thread. Nearly all pictures can be traced back.

>>5667 looks like a nice place for a walk

>>5670 There's a difference between "carefully preserving personal privacy online" and "fetch me my tinfoil hat, the CIA is reading my mind via my tooth fillings". You may want to check which side of that line you're currently on.

This underpass in my city looks very Deus Ex.

>>5674 yoo ultra nice

>>5670 Google doesn't penetrate lainchan so... >>5672 Metadata is real and digital cameras basically have written in their code who bought the camera, gps locations, date taken, etc. But, no one cares. Everyone lives where you live. Everyone bought that camera. It's the type of thing only an FBI agent would resort to reading so they would know where to look for X type of person, otherwise if you don't have anything else about you then why does the location nor time matter? Who even says the camera was bought with cash? It COULD have been, but what serial killer would be that stupid as to buy a camera with a credit card? Even if one did, says who the javascript, cookies, IP address, etc, is going to allow for connecting the dots? I'm just saying. Moot either way. Because the anon is probably not a serial killer.

>>5672 Also, printers leave traces too. In case you didn't know.

>>5674 What city?

>>5688 Sofia. It was the main inspiration behind City 17 too.

Chicago, IL USA

>>5674 Yooo that passage with all the graffiti and weird misaligned fluorescent tubes

>>5677 I mean there's an exif inspector built right into the board here. I leave the date and such but I wipe geotagging and other more vulnerable data.

>>5699 They've covered those up now, you can see it the top-left photo ;_; Here's where the passage leads. The whole tunnel is lit in green and super grimy, it looks like something from the Matrix.

Aquarius is born! Those juvenile, the scoundrel packs Whose yards and inches of cursed pavement Beneath their scraped paws, had borne them At last, their argument! The time of land has come!

>>5711 How's New York these days? Got the 'rona yet? That place has been awful, it was like seriously almost half of the entire country's cases for a while there.

>>5677 >Google doesn't penetrate lainchan so... what? what makes you say that? also dubs

>>5718 It feels like everyones holding their breath and don’t know how long it can last. There’s a slight tension between strangers on the street and especially on the subway. The sparse foot and car traffic and shelter overcrowding have left the homeless with a much greater presence on the street. Tenant/landlord relations are straining. Overall, it feels like we’re on the precipice of something new and no one knows whats coming next.

>>5742 Imo this is what Fisher meant when he said "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism."

>>5728 Yeah, no idea why this user believes such a thing. I can find plenty of lain threads and images through the panopticon search, so it's demonstrably false.

This is at the bottom of the 'courtyard' in the OP pic.

>>5745 whats the panopticon search?

>>5959 Groggle

>>5978 This is a pic I took myself. People (students) live right next to this data center and I think it's one of the biggest in the EU. Also, the wind makes a sharp whistling sound whenever it blows because of the panels on the surface of the building, drives the people around it mad. And there's the constant whirring of the cooling units. It's basically like living inside a computer case.

>>6016 But living in steel shipping containers is so ecologically responsive and progressive, not like the wooden housings of old!

Federal courthouse back in my home state. They call it the borg cube

>>6033 Another picture

>>6023 They're literal ovens in the summer too because they have solar panels on the roof that absorb all the light

>>5667 Looks exactly like the landscape you see the first time in NEO Scavenger when you are near the Detroid area.

>>6123 My bad, meant to say Detroit Mega City

That feel when the only pics that could do it is your deskspace because you live in an eminently boring pseudo-westernized suburban nightmare. I'll try contributing proper pics when public transport is safe-enough to risk.

>>5678 That's how reality got busted.

>>6049 Wouldn't that make them less hot?

>>5677 >Metadata is real and digital cameras basically have written in their code who bought the camera, gps locations, date taken, etc. This is true but trivial. Stripping exif data is extremely simple. In fact, my cell phone camera is configured to do it automatically. >>6023 hahaha yeah i dont get it at all. it's not like steel shipping containers are clogging up landfills. i'd bet almost 100% of them get recycled anyway since that's usually what happens to steel. in the US softwood forests are plentiful and I don't see how insulating a steel box is going to be more efficient than a properly-clad balloon-frame house, and of course climate control is a much bigger contributor to the carbon footprint of a given house than its initial construction.. so long as you aren't tearing it down any time soon (idk how long the container homes are expected to last but if you're buying the thing from a recycler they're getting rid of it in the first place because its not structurally sound enough to be used for shipping).

Hi lainons - do these count? my place is pretty urban but pretty generic :/

Modernity is hell

>>6178 Is that norilsk?

>>6179 Da.

>>6177 the one with the camera in a cage is pretty cool >>6178 unreal

>>6180 I really want to visit some day but something tells me an american running around an arctic Russian mining town without understanding any of the language is a recipe for trouble.

>>6192 Foreigners are actually restricted from visiting the city

>>6208 I'm somewhat amazed that they even have to enforce a rule about it. Maybe a few people who have some wires twisted in their head like us, but generally I can't imagine anybody wanting to visit Norilsk.

>>6209 It truly is one of the most visually dystopian place on Earth though.

>>6209 the russian wilderness are just interesting to me for whatever reason. it's like a weird mirror-world version of the americam wilderness. honestly it s​uck​s that our governments are enemies, because i feel like russians and americans have a lot in common culturally. like a kind of convergent cultural evolution that comes from living in an industrial nation with way too much fuarrrking land.
