sidenote, of the whole ARPA shitposting arc, the funniest part for me is that somehow gmail just.. accepts emails sent from this domain

out of everything I expected not to work, this is almost on the top of the list

happy to see that it did work! here's a video of it in action: https://f.sakamoto.pl/PO_bell103.webm

this will also get a blogpost sometime in the near future. I'm still considering trying TCP/IP, but it would be ungodly slow at 300baud :p

(also, yes, I have revoked the token visible in the video)

Hello world! This status has been posted from a phone booth, using Bell103 compatible softmodem, a lot of magic, and some wishful thinking.

hope this works

(I wanted to write out a simplified version in the message above, but I feel like I'd be oversimplifying things, and this is one of those topics where, if approached properly, you'd be surprised how many cool things it touches. Hence, I wanna do it justice, and write something more presentable ^^)

To answer the neverending flow of "HOW?" questions with regards to my previous post: I will be releasing a blogpost about this, how revdns works in general, and a few other interesting hacks and tidbits. Coming sometime next month!

According to all known laws of DNS, there is no way a fedi instance could be hosted on an .ARPA domain.

Even if you get ahold of a domain like this, it should only be used for PTR records - right?

The instance, of course, federates anyway - because DNS doesn't care what humans think is impossible.
