I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
This is how we would surf the web back in the 90s! I still remember flying over the earth shredding some world-wide gnar! We would all screech the AOL connecting sound as we swooped majestically through the forums.
I used to hate the modem noise. Then, over time, like Pavlov’s dogs, I began to love the modem noise. I actually missed it when we got DSL.

V.34 has definite nostalgia for me.
Had this as a ring tone for a while just to confuse children lol
to be fair, the young’uns confuse easily these days.
I’ll never forget the sound of the siren’s call as it wafted sweetly over the waves, gently washing over me like a warm blanket of security. That dulcet tone that cried, “You’ve Got Mail!”
