Some people like things I do or say. I swear. I mean no harm.
I hope to occasionally be a light for someone in a dark place through humor. Neurodiverse.
Rodger and Jessica Rabbit might be my cartoon parents.

Heya internet, I'm in search of tags and accounts of people playing around with:

* older enterprise networking gear
* telephony gear and labs, particularly CO equipment

Seems like the kind of thing one should be able to find on Fedi :-)

My AH-HA! moment.
I am trying to force a digital representation of a physical limitation of paper based media!

SO THEN- I would need char wrapping.

One can only reasonably expect a person to hand write a certain char width on say a note card. If I am to present a "post" in that format, I need a fixed font AND width, if the post is to maintain a gridded pattern. In the world I am building, every character counts. An equal width. Even spaces and nul's.

Was I born at the wrong time for monospace? LOL I am not having a good time with tech and predictable widths.
It is a vastly fun thing to be hyperfocused on. #audhd #monospace #smolweb #terminal

For what it's worth, I started programming on a Vtech Precomputer 1000. It resonates. It also had monospace. xD

@yngmar I tried watching it all, now I am exhausted. :P

@lasse there are issues with that also, some clients will put a box around it, some will not, so it is another issue of "control". I am verging on a protocol fork, since my own use and limits are being reached in gemspace (for this one project), have been exploring NEX and others. Gemini has a place (and will keep one!) just I was trying to force a use that isnt condusive to my needs.
In fact, the limits are giving me better thoughts and reasoning on a macro level I never thought I would have!

@lasse yea, hence shattered. I am doing a deep dive in monospaces, and yes, this is exactly my rant issue with mobile client, and argument that it should be user controlled for width better. gemini is a stepping stone to these- certainly the header footers are not going to work for gemspace.
MORE searching and pushing necessary. cheers!

GRAHH about monospace fonts. I rant into #gemspace officially.
*This requires a gemini client(or proxy if you know how), I humbly suggest "Lagrange". Link below also. Cheers!

Oh and yes the Metadata worked at the bottom of the post. I will need to experiment with a footer maybe that auto adds. copy pasting it in every post is not quite what I would call efficient, though objectively it just works.

Yo Dylan, I am sorry I did you dirty, let me try the link again-- I need to make sure the TITLE does not have really strange CHARs in them. NOT THAT YOU ARE one!! Well, its ok if we are. └(°ᵕ⁰ꜝ)₹

We have effing CAPES afterall! LOL
