#introductions We cobbled together a free-to-use dialup ISP out of trash and spare parts. dialup.world is composed of four modems for simultaneous connections delivering speeds up to 33.6K.

This is currently a bunch of USR Sportsters hooked into Linux, but we are currently working on setups with Cisco gear, as well as some musings in 56K, other weird dialup appliances, and retro networking.

We also supply dialup access to the WebTV Redialed project (http://webtv.zone/) which means if you dig your WebTV out of storage and hook it into a phone line, it *just works* with no modification needed on your part!

I invite you to watch our bad ideas become reality.

hi there.

on 2016-11-07 i was inspired to create this pair of diagrams, and posted them to my then twitter account. the tweet is long gone, but they must have struck a chord with some people, because the diagrams have long outlived it! i guess they're as relevant today as they were then.

so let me repost them here, in never-before-published high resolution.

A man discovers through a DNA test he is actually the son of a famous #DOOM mapper known as Dr. Sleep who had sadly already passed away by the time he found out. What follows is his discovery of Doom and the vibrant mapping scene that has continued to this day so he builds his first Doom map to better understand the father he never knew:

aw fuck google's trying to make DRM for websites

this should not exist. period. in my humble opinion, the use cases for “this browser is unmodified” do not outweigh the risk to user freedoms, i.e. adblockers, userscripts and other accessibility tools, etc

the problems this tries to solve is hard! unfortunately, some things simply should not be built, regardless of how much easier it makes things for Google

and consider this: Google maintains one of the world’s biggest web scrapers. because Google is dominant in search, people will allowlist the Google scraper attestation (if it exists) no matter what. guess what individual users won’t be able to do?

This kind of brilliantly stupid shit is what I miss from the early days of the internet

are there things humans need to eat other than beans. i'm not convinced

So the CEO of online ads giant IAB made a pretty… remarkable speech, saying:

"These extremists (referring to privacy advocates) are political opportunists who’ve made it their mission to cripple the advertising industry and eliminate it from the American economy and culture."

And this, friends, is our mission statement RIGHT THERE.

@sieri @slothrop I saw this on fedi a few days ago, I don't remember who posted it originally, but this... yes...
