@mhoye I misread it as DATA FORT and for a second imagined some sort of pillow fort but with mainframes.
Now I'm just disappointed. And I want some PDP-11's and blankets to play in!

@mhoye (slowly hides my precious label maker... preciousssss....sssss.... gollum!)

@mhoye there’s a 4-port hub from 1988 on the other end of that thing.

@mhoye @leyrer screamy face, cannot unsee

@mhoye

Would be interesting to see what cabling that is and where it might go 🙂🤷‍♂️

@mhoye my friend's pubnix still uses the /~user/ url convention :3 (i had to convince them to do it for the Aesthetic, but still)

@mhoye Maybe a system for in-room computers that was upgraded over the years? Originally built for terminals, the IR receiver was installed for a refresh and then eventually everything was removed?

Is the room particularly premium or high class? Perhaps a business suite?

@mhoye That's not entirely true. These stickers are Dymo labelmaker output, and while Dymo's big advantage, mechanical simplicity, is not that advantageous these days, Dymo labelmakers are still in fairly common use. I'll need to check it the next time I go out, but I think even the sign next to my doorbell button, only a couple of years old, is a Dymo label.

@mhoye The right hole on this picture, is it a screwhole with a missing screw or, say, a 3.5mm TRS socket?

@mhoye
My URL thanks you! 😀

@mhoye
Old school Dymo <3
It just has a very different feel to it.

@mhoye see everyone is data lake this, iceberg that - but nobody’s selling the comfort of staying in port

@mhoye are you sure you're actually in a hotel?

@mhoye Someday I will move my techblog to a new host, and when I do I will be very tempted to preserve the '~cks/' bit for various reasons.

@mhoye Looks like that data port has no connector... Is this the /dev/null equivalent of Ethernet?
