@mick@cosocial.ca Sorry, nobody current, and the Bell folk I used to know were on the voice side.

@mick@cosocial.ca There was a past issue with them filtering third-party VoIP and VPN traffic.
@pndc@social.treehouse.systems The cable is probably the snake’s platonic ideal of a mate.

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange Just wondering why the aforementioned second monitor is down under the desk there?

@robpike@hachyderm.io I have a black edition Das Keyboard, so absolutely no keycap letters even from brand new. Nothing quite like that to make an honest touch typist!

@malison@soc.nochn.net Vibe coders may not actually be literate, but having the relevant O’Reilly on the shelf is a powerful talisman.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social It’s wonderful if you can get ethanol-free fuel, but the evil additive is mostly mandated in Canada and eventually turns to crud in your engine’s plumbing.
For my small engines I get premium grade ethanol-free at the nearest Rez and even then make sure I run everything at least twice a year.

@clew@ecoevo.social @ricci@discuss.systems Early 80s I remember the row of manuals in the student lab were soft-bound and 3-hole punched so 3 steel rods in the official reading shelf could secure the books from going walkabout.
Early 90s I remember my then-employer setting up a PC tower case with six CD readers so up to six manual sets could be simultaneously available over our 10-meg LAN. That was before hard drives grew.

@clew@ecoevo.social @ricci@discuss.systems Unix was the peak of the lost culture in which you got manuals with stuff.

@joelle I feel guilty when I'm slow responding to a captcha, figuring my answers are being relayed to vehicles approaching those intersections.
