@foone They bought both Auth0 and Ping in order to start a local IDP Fight Club!

@tomjennings They certainly want that to be the definition, but I’ve found most efficiency-driven initiatives in complex systems end up more costly than expected.

@tomjennings Yes, and you can’t even pass the time with a rifle to induce casual near-extinction of a species!

@tomjennings They should close that airport permanently, of course, but closing it for a sad Soviet-style May Day Charade is just pathetic. Doesn’t anyone remember the aftermath on Constitution Ave. last time we did this?

@tomjennings LetsEncrypt is doing a great job of making it easier than ever to commit spam and fraud. Try taking down a spoofing site with those A-Holes.

@tomjennings I’m about to do that with all my old Atari 800 discs… I have my FujiNet up and ready to virtualize. I just need a free day to teleport my brain back to its pre-teen state to tolerate its keyboard. ;)

@tomjennings My parents still have a Montgomery Ward freezer from the 70s. I believe the compressor browns out the neighborhood whenever it kicks in.

@foone Please. The Foone I know would already have it on an isolated segment and fooling it into phoning home to a Windows ME machine distributing decontextualized Carmen Sandiego context in the typeface from Williams’ arcade classic, Joust!

@tomjennings So what you’re really saying is that you’re planning to prevent Devo from getting satisfaction?

@tomjennings We have tickets for the show at the Orpheum here in Boston, as well. Between that and the David Byrne tour, my soul is well fed.

@tomjennings Ugh. Honestly, I could use one… not that I’m going to cross the border into that place, but it’s still cheaper than a single box at Staples.

@tomjennings The Internet Archive should be a natural home for some of this stuff, but there needs to be some legitimate movement to redemocratize the Internet before it becomes another abandoned shopping mall you can’t skateboard in.

@tomjennings I don’t think anyone will argue against the value of your archives and contributions to online communities. That it has never been formally curated by the Archive is just opportunity to correct.

@tomjennings I have faith that the substrate is still mostly open and it can still support alternative models—be it traditional email, something like Mastodon, or the Tor project. The old methods are still here. We just have to use your old post-punk methods on them.

@tomjennings I have faith that the substrate is still mostly open and it can still support alternative models—be it traditional email, something like Mastodon, or the Tor project. The old ways are still here. We just have to apply your old post-punk ethos to it. That’s not on you, per se, but we can’t build on it without your foundations.

@tomjennings What are you planning to run it on? I have an old HP Scanjet 4670 that might fit the bill, but I think the software might be a challenge.

@tomjennings The only drivers I can find online are for PowerPC MacOS and XP/Vista. If you want to give it a run, I’m happy to send it to you to partially make up for annoying the crap out of you in the 80s.

@foone What’s the output format of the Laserdisc player? Component? Composite? You could probably pick up an HDMI upscaler and take the control away from the TV.
