The (extensive) phone system in my house is reachable from the outside world, but I don't like anyone phoning me overnight.
So I've made all the inbound routes time-of-day aware and they now play this message if you phone them overnight

@jamesderrick I’d love to say I found it lingering on a crusty old tape in a long forgotten answering machine…
unfortunately, I made it out of some royalty free music I found in an online library somewhere, with an AI text-to-speech thing for the announcement
It’s all a sham!
@lpbkdotnet Well, you clearly know the Sansui CrapPhone 2000 *would* have sounded!
The awful MIDI-in-hardware tune almost gave flashbacks. 😉
@jamesderrick oh no! you've now given me a very cursed idea for a dtmf-to-midi adaptor
I think I'll quickly file that one under "projects not to be started"
