@autumn I see your 1990s ISP and raise you the one I visited in 1996.

I love how all the same elements are there. Shelves of individual modems. Beige box servers everywhere. Cheap Walmart fan blowing air.

It was such an absolutely amazing wild west sort of time.

From my archives... this is what the command center of a mid-1990s dialup ISP looked like.

Later iterations would be more advanced, but this is how it started. A natural progression and leap of faith from the multi-line BBS it replaced.

It'd be a load of work to do it but I keep thinking about putting down some trunking in the house. Would make routing ethernet and coax cables around the house much easier.

The linux mascot Xenia is such a big deal for me because
1) shes trans
2) she's a fox
3) she's into Linux

I am
1) trans
2) a fox
3) into Linux

So a question for people who've known me for a long time (like 5 or more years)-

Did you know that I'm trans before I knew myself/came out in the late 2010s, if so when did you know?

A trans Renamon girl in your server room? It's more likely than you think!

Definitely want to get myself a new patrol cap, in either purple or black, but super happy for my QVP mask that I had to take a selfie while at work. 💛💜
