@elrainia@lemmy.world describes working on internet infrastructure back in the 1990s. This was on one of those "drive by" AskLemmys where a new user posts a juicy question, then after a couple hours they delete the topic and their account. However, those posts and comments are still visible in Piefed, ex: https://piefed.social/post/1733969#comment_9969293

i kinda miss that too.

i remember a bit more... Tomfoolery.. in the early 90s though ...more than the Morris worm...

and don't get me started on phreaking.

    Heh. One of my college roommates used to be able to rattle off the number from listening to our modem dialing. 😱 Sure, a great party trick and genuinely impressive, and it often led to him showing off his crazy-fast custom rig sealed in a tote of veg oil... but it was the room it was in that was the mood-killer. 😅🤌🏼
