Anyone else find it amusing that freedombox is on a mastodon instance that blocks sealion? -

!rpi Slaps motherboard (ouch) This baby can fit up to 28 cores in her!
The SOPine Clusterboard is a 7-unit COM (computer on module) motherboard that can be used as a cluster or as 7 individual computers. It works well enough save for some kernel issues that hopefully will be resolved in the next update(s). https://sealion.club/attachment/2811253 -

2005 - Madison River Communications was blocking VOIP services. The FCC put a stop to it.
2005 - Comcast was denying access to p2p services without notifying customers.
2007-2009 - AT&T was having Skype and other VOIPs blocked because they didn't like there was competition for their cellphones.
2011 - MetroPCS tried to block all streaming except youtube. (edit: they actually sued the FCC over this)
2011-2013, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon were blocking access to Google Wallet because it competed with their bullshit. edit: this one happened literally months after the trio were busted collaborating with Google to block apps from the android marketplace
2012, Verizon was demanding google block tethering apps on android because it let owners avoid their $20 tethering fee. This was despite guaranteeing they wouldn't do that as part of a winning bid on an airwaves auction. (edit: they were fined $1.25million over this)
2012, AT&T - tried to block access to FaceTime unless customers paid more money.
2013, Verizon literally stated that the only thing stopping them from favoring some content providers over other providers were the net neutrality rules in place.
Never forget, your ISP doesn't want to provide everything on the 'net for you at one price. -

The unemployment rate in the USA is low, so it's "odd" that people are suddenly defaulting on their credit cards.
Perhaps things in the land of apple-pie eating eagles isn't as good as we're being led to believe?
Nah, the government wouldn't like to us, would they?

The local Micro Center was closing out these boards a a while back - PaPiRus e-ink displays - for about 1/3 the retail cost. I purchased every one they had at the time.
There was some issues with the code in the Git repository at that time, so I set them aside. Now? It works just fine. Running on a !raspberrypi 2B !rpi https://sealion.club/attachment/848945 -

@fl0wn @lnxw48a1 There's also weatherusa.net - they're local-ish to me so I may be somewhat biased... The service they provide usually works well enough, and you get one email and one SMS number with the "free" service. It's pretty granular down to the zipcode, although that does depend on what information NOAA feeds them.
I use it, local twitter feeds, and a CAT WX-250 that sits in my network rack and is constantly polled by a !raspberrypi

@somercet @nonservator The only reason an unlisted number cost more was because the phone company knew they could charge you for the service, and depending on your carrier, there was differing levels of unlisted (and cost,) from "not in the white pages" to "not available from directory service either." There's no technical reason that it should cost more beyond a single removal fee that tells the computer billing systems that this number isn't to be released to printing or assistance. It's like the charges GPS manufacturers used to add on to their units for local traffic service. It was already there, but they sold you a "subscription" because they could. Literally - Ma Bell has been using computers to bill and track phone service probably longer than anyone currently on this board.
Don't think that the phone book isn't full of gamed ads and SEO tricks. I can call my business AAAAAAA Best Plumbing, and I'll be at the front of the book, before your AAA Best Plumbing business, and both of us will be behind the promoted ad that ZZZZZ Worst Plumbing paid to have inserted at the beginning of the Plumbers list. Remember that the phone book and directories aren't to tell you about businesses, they are to sell ads - can't count how many calls my employer gets from YP companies wanting to sell us adspace.
