    It has come to my attention that I have previously loaded my passport into my Android phone as an "ID pass" which should theoretically get me through TSA legitimately

    Update: it worked! I only had to tap my phone and I got through TSA!

    Maybe some day Oregon will get on the mDL bandwagon and I won't need to rely on this silly piece of plastic anymore

    At least I have CLEAR right now so I should be able to get home without an ID.

    Well that's the last time I take my ID out of my wallet to go through airport security. I made the mistake of putting it into my pocket instead of back in my wallet and it seems to have fallen out somewhere between PDX and SFO 🫠

    @aaronpk GrandStream HT802 works *great* for pulse dialing (optional mode). Have multiple rotary phones in operation using it. https://www.grandstream.com/products/gateways-and-atas/analog-telephone-adaptors/product/ht802

    I have thought about using a sidecar (wired) or handheld DTMF (acoustical) generator - they used to have such things. havn't done so yet

    Aaron Parecki
    That's the one I was testing with but I didn't realize it supports pulse dialing! The retro phone I got is actually sold new and supports tone dialing even though it has a rotary dial! https://opis-tech.com/en/opis-1921-cable-d

    @aaronpk So the grid is kind of your one big generator!

    Aaron Parecki
    technically correct πŸ’―

    @aaronpk Omfg. Triplex is ready for bidness!

    Aaron Parecki
    well not quite! This is still temporary power and only for our unit, but at least we can use the lights and even run the fridge now!

    @aaronpk that connector looks really silly. US plugs are something

    Aaron Parecki
    To be fair, this is not a "normal" plug in the US. This is rated for 240v 50a, our normal plugs are 120v 15a. This one is meant for hooking up an RV or boat to a generator. What would an equivalent look like in Germany?

    My electrician explained how the other end is connected... the white wire is actually the second phase hot wire, and the green wire is tied to both ground and neutral at the pole.
    Aaron Parecki
    and we're live! Feeding the generator inlet with a 30 amp extension cord that runs to the temp pole at the street!

    Hooking up a 3-wire extension cord to a 4-wire plug, what could go wrong πŸ˜ƒ

    @aaronpk Is it possible to set up a delayed voice message? It could be fun to call a number, leave a voicemail, and then some time in the future receive a call playing that voicemail.

    Aaron Parecki
    Ooh good one! I could hook up a motion sensor so that the phone rings when people walk by it on the sidewalk

    @aaronpk Completely agree! Bites me all the time. I assume it's because a laptop can be closed and have an external monitor connected? But that should be part of the "should I use?" logic....

    Aaron Parecki
    Also the laptop knows if there's an external monitor connected so it should still be able to figure it out!

    @Luke There is a calendar-ish thing on this page - https://events.indieweb.org/tag/frontend #indieweb

    The iCal feed isn't functioning. I'm thinking of using @simon's GitScraper to monitor this page and build an alert from it (partly because I've wanted to use GitScraper for years).

    Aaron Parecki
    what's wrong with the ics feed? I subscribe to it myself just fine. What calendar software are you using?

    @aaronpk and 90 cents will buy you lunch, which requires some reflection.
    Where are you in Cambodia? I just got back from a trip there: Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, but also a cruise up the Tonle Sap and along the Mekong. Absolutely loved it.
    Highly recommend this street food tour in Phnom Penh if you can swing it.

    Aaron Parecki
    Quick stop in Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat on the way to Vietnam next week!

    And yes the food is so cheap I almost feel bad buying it at this price.

    @aaronpk Did you have the yogurt coffee at Reykjavik Roasters? We loved it when we visited last year.

    Aaron Parecki
    whoa that sounds fascinating!

    @aaronpk Hrm. Subsystem code per user? I don’t still have my Zelle setup email. Do your login codes start with 4? (If they’re always 4, I assume the crackers already know this.)

    Aaron Parecki
    yeah normally the direct ones are 4
