Please make some firewall rules so it's not available in Germany. Once the Germans will see this they will abandon all digitalization efforts and use this as a fax replacement everywhere over here.

    Cute. I wanted to make something like that for my mom (so friends and family could message her on it, not for strangers) but I never got around to it. She knew how to use email but didn't check it very often, so a printer would have been more immediate. It would have to have been an impact printer though, since another family member (probably correctly) wanted to stay away from thermal paper on health grounds.

    Maybe this is what you saw:

    I think I will cut them all out and scan them.

    ... feed the prinout into a tray, after x lines (however big) take a picture from a mounted webcam? Just for some extra fun here. Because thats what this is, a very fun project, super cool!

    I have to say, if I got spam like that through a form like this, I wouldn't take a picture.

    I'd frame it, and then I'd take a picture. Maybe on the fireplace mantle, maybe on the piano, but somewhere prominent.

    (Until my wife asked what stupid shit I had framed, and its life after would depend entirely on whether or not she found it funny)

    The internet being what it is has there been any negative or inappropriate images or text? Because if not, my faith in the interwebs will slowly heal
