@UnePorte "I’m afraid I can’t do that," I lied. "It’s an automated process. Once it starts, it has to finish. Security protocols, you understand." Pure gold.

@UnePorte Brilliant. And strangely heart-cockle warming.

@UnePorte @WeirdWriter Very well done, I really hope that when your renewals next comes up you get a note to send only relevant new documentation you have not already sent, by email. (Otherwise, the Fax machine will be tested again)

@UnePorte This is my new favourate thing. This is better than the times the council kept asking for the same information, so I squeezed it onto a single side of A4 in size 9px font, single-spaced, knowing they would scan it at a low resolution and store it at 50% size.

@UnePorte - but this blind man probably doesn't know is that "fax machines" have been replaced by digital versions years ago. Almost no doctor or government agency is monitoring a paper fax machine anymore. That is too unreliable. These fax services take a real fax line and turn it into a digital one, then create a digital copy of the received document and send it into a system that resembles email. The company that gave birth to this eternal legacy crutch ? J2, the artist formerly known as "eFax." If the US government ever passes a law requiring the use of secure digital transmission (which would translate to email), that will be the day that J2/Fax files for bankruptcy.

@UnePorte "malicious"? "heroic" and "witty", I'd say.

@GeoffWozniak@masto.hackers.town Then you'll probably like this too. Years ago, a local travel agency kept bothering me with fax spam - two blocks away from me in a small town. I asked them more then once to stop sending me 2-3 pages of expen$ive treated paper every week. They didn't stop. I wrote the request on a piece of paper and began to fax them. But I snapped the case open half way-ish through and stopped it sending, cancelling the call. Next, I used sticky tape to form the paper into a roll. Then I faxed them again. For a long time... They stopped faxing me spam. :-) That's not evil, that's payback. Naming your SSID as 'Connecting...' - that's evil. @UnePorte@eldritch.cafe
