@foone oh you're missing an opportunity to make it even sillier

ip delivery over ethernet using MoCA converters

@foone that and connections to Stockton, Tracy, Davis, Sacramento, Vacaville, and Fairfield at least

@foone they're a bountiful little box of useful peripherals too. Bell 202 modem, keypad, at least two external serial ports, the magstripe reader, keypad, and VFD. I think there must also be a piezo beeper in there. Power is just bog standard 12v if I remember correctly

@foone I saw this yesterday and am reminded of it again

I wonder if I might have one of these little bricks in storage https://www.vintagevibe.co.nz/single-board-computers/verifone-tranz-330/

@foone are they reachable by phone or has kaiser walled them off from incoming calls completely?

@foone I need to show this to my German bilingual coworker and ask him if he can make it switch on the fly

just got weird looks and chuckles from all my coworkers after telling them about how I had a ham radio activated coffee machine back in like 2010

what, that's not a normal thing?

it was an old GE Phoenix SX with one channel programmed on it, rigged up to trigger a latching relay that'd power up the coffee pot. As I approached the office I'd just key up on that frequency with the right PL tone (and of course say my callsign at the end) and I'd have fresh coffee when I got in

Current mood: blissfully aesthetic color coded DIP switches
#electronicscolorcode #aesthetic

I think it's part of a Harris Sigma transmitter.

@foone was hoping to find a Unicode character that looks like a mouse pointer.

I was just kinda rambling about this
I forgot it was at least some kinda triple bucky click so you wouldn't immediately figure out it's there but yeah

@foone spaghetti-and-meatballs dot net

(i will absolutely not forgive pizza hut for not keeping pizza.net usable)

tired: calling your street address an icbm address

wired: calling your street address a spaghetti and meatballs address (where someone sends you delivery of such as a random present)

@foone thank you!

Okay I realize it's been a hot minute now but @foone do you still have that midi pack from the Windows 95 stream up somewhere?

@foone @mgerdts That is adorable. UART over SCSI.
We use a ton of Digi One SP serial over IP devices on an internal network here for controlling remote microwave site antennas and cameras. They make some odd and wonderful interfaces.

@foone ever since I played Lemmings as a kid I always wondered how fall detection logic worked in games

@joe did they just wireshark this out of a dream @foone had or something

@foone the tool to mount these in a panel is called a PEMserter, and insert, it does.

Out of strange curiosity I once stuck a phone book in one and stepped on the pedal. It damn near punched through it. I'm glad it didn't go ALL the way through; we've all seen on the Hydraulic Press Channel what this looks like 🎊🎊🎊

@foone imagine what fresh hell happens when it starts reading back with the wrong field order like when NTSC Has A Real One

@foone Amunix? What type of Pokemon is that?
