Please wait...
There was a time i had 2, count them, *2* incoming lines for the village. Fancy pants!
Just me and Inspector Gadget! That's alarming! laugh.
Just like the old days when we just had a single dialup connection :)

Heh. When I got my third line they cut it all down and put in a 6-pair cable.
I felt so swanky.
(One for the home phone line, one for inbound dialup, and one for the new pinned-up Internet connection we had from 1996 until 2000.)
I always laughed at the people who operated multiuser BBS using MS-DOS software.
They needed not only a separate phone line but also a separate *computer* for each concurrent user they wanted to support. But those places were usually run by people who wanted to charge for access.
I'm here... just not so confident when it comes to responding! :/
And we still love ya. :) Everyone's welcome and appreciated.
Yeah, just ignore that and keep trying. Sometimes we get swamped with brute
force attacks and it hits the configured limit for maximum sessions. We're
still working on ways to mitigate that.

Well, plenty of perfectly fine intel/amd machines are going to hit the used market here soon. Due to them colluding with Microsoft.

Oh and a lot of perfectly good GPUs to be made obsolete by that scumbag company NVIDIA.

I blocked a /16 in China that was flooding the place. Hopefully better
now.
That serves them well. I know for a fact I can't poll their DNS gateway service because my servers are blocked off their network.
At least it wasn't that someone killed it from the outside.
That would be bad.
Fri Jul 11 2025 12:31:38 UTC from IGnatius T FoobarYup. My fault, too. No big deal though.
Oops :)
