i am freed from the shackles of email!!!

(I am completely out of the loop and paranoid about the several important emails I await)

I keep accidentally replying to internship opportunities with my non government name alias, I wonder if thats what scaring off my employability

@Theorem_Poem completely unrelated but got reminded of this in a lecture I attended today (thanks @rohini for being a speaker and bringing it to my attention) but missing out on that time, it felt so strange connecting with stories of meeting people with such similar experiences over the border, and of other people interacting with them, it feels like its harder now to communicate with people so close, in space and experience, yet so distant

how I deeply wish I could justify getting a POTS line that is so retricted lmfao

I did infact grow up with telephones, I doubt people a few years younger than me even know of their local dialing codes, even still, I do not remember the last household I went into that had a fixed line telephone, much less one on the BSNL network, also off hours free calling sounds so fun to "exploit", where do I sign up to be a dialup ISP!

Wait does sunday free service imply only businesses use telco lines now?

yes I made a whole bunch of osm commits today after not doing much, nO I am NOT procastinating doing other things, I just realised my city's old city centre was just off the map ;p

~~I am very much procastinating replying to emails I should reply to~~

cut myself on old heirloom thingie which had glass which was weak as hell, oww.

on other news, I now have really good cat5e to my "network closet", yaaay internal network gigabit speeds!!

@Kuniti_shino @x44203 not sure if this is a joke- but like, Amtrak does have non budd RDC and metal looking rolling stock-

@libreinator some part of it is certainly "LockedIn", people just wanna connect instead of actually contact each other

@rail yeah I learnt that the hardway after waiting a few hours for a binary to compress

Hello Fedi,

recently someone posted a book that detailed how to build #floppies from scratch (including the ferrofluid etc.) I thought I had saved or boosted it, but apparently not. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact title, maybe @nina_kali_nina knows? In general the book was talking about magnetic storage, and was from the 80's (I think). Please boost.
EDIT:
Found it thanks to @vaporeon_ and @gloriouscow , it's "Magnetic Recording, Volume 1".

@soapie woah these are BEAUTIFUL

oh, sorry, The other much larger city also getting a metro system from the same transit agency, 4 weekday services, 6 on the weekend.

Could they have at least made it clock faced scheduled?? (both of them are 6 kilometer operational track FYI)

why even open to revenue service? how desperare was the state chief minister or modi or whoever inaugarated these projects

randomly looking up schedules for the metro system in my home state's capital ... 30 minute off peak frequencies? Current revenue track takes 23 minutes to complete one trip, 15 minutes "Rush Hour".

This metro system could have been a single tracked light rail ;p

I love Madhya Pradesh, Please get your shit together MP Metro, you know you are fucked when you have worse service frequencies than the @delhi_transport_corporation
