#clabretro
casually enjoying the clabretro feature on AT&T Merlin phones and came across the comment that says that people watching it are on the spectrum at some form or another because we are sitting down for 40+ minutes to watch a video about old POTS phones

and honestly... yeah

New blog soon. Some highlights.
- Found another vendor quirk.
- Bought a Cisco 2911.
- Maddy and I both think it's too loud... fan mod for that soon.
- Renewed appreciation for clabretro and Cisco engineers.
- The lab is probably the perfect CCNA and CCNP lab (and MTCRE).
- Need another room.

Autism hits weird sometimes man. One minute I'm talking about playing cards, the next: I'm distracted by clabretro on YT setting up an ancient network because it's fun for him. All the while my brain is screaming in a James May kind of way: "Hellser you idiot. Go to bed."

clabretro said they liked the name "Merlin" so I can put that on my CV right?

Had an awesome weekend at VCF Southwest! Got to meet @adriansdigitalbasement.com , clabretro, the 8bit guy, arcadecomoonents, and Usagi Electric (only in passing.) Getting to talk soldering and careers with Mr Black was great!

Today all cables arrived, so it's time to see if it can be revived.

Very much inspired by the clabretro youtube channel

There is surprisingly one whole video about old setting up CallerID from Clabretro, but it's very much just configuring it on a Cisco 2900 vs going over how it actually worked.

youtube.com/@clabretro is also amazing, especially if you like seeing old networking gear in action
clabretro
Videos about computer stuff. Typically focused on enterprise and networking "netro" gear from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s.

You either die a hero or live long enough for clabretro to start featuring gear you're running in prod at home 😔

I've got my 8x8 matrix switcher configured with all 4K cards though, so idk how retro the thing really is.
