Phreak.ing – Internet Phone Switch

+1 to that. I didn't even feel like doing anything I was just there flabbergasted by the background

It's just an animated webp. https://phreak.ing/static/bg.webp The correct amount of technology for an animated background. Very refreshing

Looks like the animated background image was sourced from: https://pislices.art/GIFS

Seems like only yesterday I was checking payphones for dialtones. I learned about the phreak scene on bbs boards as a kid in the 80s. Still the definition of a hacker in my mind.

Good memories. It was such a treat to have my parents drop me in a Barnes and Noble and pick up 2600, crawl into a comfy corner and spend a few hours reading what I only could only partially even grasp. Luckily there were so many other resources you could wander an aisle over to the comp sci section and access.

Abbie Hoffman and the Anarchists Cookbook were also a few shelves down, and yet here we are worried about kids on the internet, its harder now to come across these topics "accidentally" that it was in the library nerding out.

All the worlds info is now accessible theoretically, yet I feel it's somehow harder to discover anything novel than it was back then, especially for the young.

Do this^

nothing happened

Party mode on!!!

I just made a line on the number "311" with a IVR you can throw into a trunk using 2600, then KP+Num+ST to dial Phreaknet numbers

Just open the website on your phone to emit the tones
