My friend helped me install one of the original #ring #doorbell

This model is circa early 1800s but was pretty advanced for the time.

It uses no electricity and an audible slice of the acoustic spectrum to connect to all the buildings on the farm.

It supports custom rings and can be disabled with the turn of a screw.

Most of the parts are very easily replaceable to this day.

#Ring #doorbell has been replaced by a local-only alternative for less than the cost of my annual Ring Subscription.

And #windows NTFS partitions have been mounted by #Bazzite allowing me to recover the dregs of the data I forgot when I buggered up the attempt at dual boot.

The #deshitification has been good this weekend!
