@dyke_du_jour I also spent a few months of Y2K -1 and Y2K itself in Japan and Singapore, so a lot of it also sounds like DDR tracks to me. Most specifically, the
Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix,
Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix, and
Dance Dance Revolution Solo 2000
soundtracks.

@dyke_du_jour It sounds like the "Y2K Beat The Clock" CD: https://www.discogs.com/release/685483-Various-Y2K-Beat-The-Clock

New robocaller trick, as captured by (probably too quickly deleted) voicemail:

20 seconds of hold music, then a voice states your purchase of a supremely expensive phone is nearly complete and that, "if you did not authorize this purchase, press '1' to connect to a customer support representative."

It's supposed to feel like you called them, instead of them calling you.

The voicemail message ended after that calm voice spoke.

@dyke_du_jour A game of bad telephone as a service?

I have found myself writing utterly incomprehensible spaghetti code in a completely goto-less programming language. Take that, Dijkstra!

Give me a drink, bartender.

@mavica_again ACK ACK ACK

@chirpbirb A very short list, I have to admit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:DDoS_mitigation_companies

Akamai Prolexic, Fastly, F5, Google Project Shield and Verizon seem to be the largest.

@chirpbirb If you go third party, then use literally anyone but Cloudflare. I'm not aware of any evidence since these receipts that they've changed for the better:
