@gregsbrain @david_chisnall Three Wyse WY-50s.
@forwardingplane Have you taken a look at Fastmail?
@mattblaze @alice The same technology was also used for Smart Grid communications, soldiering on after Ricochet’s demise and evolving into a technology called “Gridstream.” Thousands of those units are still in service for smart meters, though that unit does appear to be dead. Google for “Cellnet Utilnet” or “Landis+Gyr Gridstream” and you’ll see similar models, some more modern but with the same serial number format.
@mattblaze Unfortunately, my Anker power bank is several years old and the model / serial number are unreadable. It has been recalled according to the Amazon sales number lookup, but I guess I have to replace it on my own since I can't get a photo of the serial number.

When you see the POTUS or people who support him saying things like, "man who could have asked for a better start to this presidency," you might go "whuh?"

But if you take a look at the useful Project 2025 Tracker, they've made incredible progress on their policy goals in a remarkably short time. I encourage everyone to explore this site, because it kind of puts all the awful in one place.

A Canadian friend's perspective on US behavior since the Trump regime was installed:

---cut here---

One thing I've learned over the past few weeks, and it's been a bit of a sobering lesson, is that a lot of Americans I know don't actually know what's going on between the US and Canada right now, and just how seriously Canadians are taking this. So, against my better judgement, here's a timeline to explain why we're here, and why we're angry.

Nov 30th, 2018 - The United States, Canada and Mexico finalize a trade agreement. Trump personally negotiates the terms and signs the document, celebrating it as 'the greatest trade agreement in history". (This is important.)

Nov 29th, 2024 - In a face to face meeting, Trump threatens the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, that he will be imposing 25% tariffs and that if Canada wants to avoid that, it should join the US as a state.

Nov 30th, 2024 - Trump publicly calls our Prime Minister 'Governor Trudeau' and instructs his staff to only address him as Governor going forward. He again suggests Canada should join the USA.
Dec 3rd, 2024 - Trump remarks that he would split Canada into two states once annexed.
