@Saupreiss @davidgerard

We're going all the way back to RTTY on 14.080–14.099 MHz over HF... 45.45 baud should be enough for anyone! :-D

@davidgerard Yeah... I actually did that this afternoon, for actual bloody Reasons.

Didn't quite work: eventually I ended up strace(1)ing a process, dumping out the full strings from calls to recvfrom(2) in hex escape form, and printf(3C)ing the damned thing. All to extract a JSON schema that should be documented somewhere but AFAICT isn't.

I hate modern shit. Can we go back to 1995's web, please?

@davidgerard but I brushed the cobwebs off my semaphore flags and did necromancy on a homing pigeon
