@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

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

@aaronpk Omfg. Triplex is ready for bidness!

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

@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.

@aaronpk You might have a look at Lenny. Loads of fun. https://www.crosstalksolutions.com/howto-pwn-telemarketers-with-lenny/

@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....

@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).

@aaronpk Ooh, are you going to NAB?

@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.

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

@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.)

Seeing as we're paving over federal websites left and right, maybe we can finally address the issue of open redirects on .gov websites? This isn't a new issue and it's not going away. But probably we shouldn't see dozens of pages of porn results all getting indexed by search engines by abusing redirects on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website, for example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=site:cdc.gov&client=ubuntu-sn&hs=V5N&sca_esv=4986d38ff6c52357&channel=fs&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjU0c2NnciLAxV6STABHey_JpoQpwV6BAgDEAg&biw=1658&bih=863&dpr=1

@aaronpk They’re lonely and want to see if anyone notices.

@aaronpk Maybe adding to the mystery: my login codes always start with a 4 (yeah, I’m okay making that effectively 7 digits now, whatever), but when they gave me one for signing up with Zelle it was 8 digits with a leading 2. Totally speculative, but I wonder if they assign a leading digit per subsystem.

@aaronpk Are they counting up?

@aaronpk what gets me is they ask for user name and password, then 2fa with the password again.
