Apparently the Office of the Director (OD) at #NSF didn't even know about this until last night. Then today we had an event at the building where they announced that #HUD will move into our building, and that NSF will be ousted over time with no known relocation destination yet.

The announcement was not well received at NSF today as you can see in this video. They had to move the governor and HUD Secretary to another, closed door location to make the announcement.

I know I asked this a while back, but I'm stubbornly going to keep at it.

There are more than a few entities on fedi that are into standing up old phone networks, ranging from military field comms, business PBXes, even homelab ESS implementations.

But I can't find a dedicated hashtag for the life of me, so I'm going to pick one and run with it.

#OtherNetworks is a great catch-all for the more esoteric, #RetroLab is broad but you get the idea, and #HomeLab is *really* broad.

#Boost maybe? ❤️
