I see this over and over: "I HAVE HIJACKED THE SERVERS WEBSOCKET TO SEND CUSTOM MESSAGES IF YOU WANT TO DO THE SAME SEE THE FOLLOWING LINK [...]"

Nice. If you want to learn Morse try https://morse-learn.acecentre.net/ (I must throw cursor at this to fix some issues like working nicely on mobile).

I was reading "The Victorian Internet" by Tom Standage and decide to build a proof of concept of an online telegraph.

Judging by the comments I've seen go by the on the ticker, this is less a telegraph simulation than an observational experiment in how terrible people can be. It's a real shame.

Funny idea... but it's way too slow to react. (saying this as ham radio operator doing CW, so pretty biased, but I guess actual telegraph operators were much faster than I am...)

It is remarkable to see how shitposting is not a recent invention but seems to have been around in the Victorian age if the transmit logs on this thing are anything to go by.

That is wild, I recently updated my own Morse Code teaching tool to v2.0 yesterday, and it's somewhat similar in concept to this: https://popcar2.itch.io/morse-code-simulator

Being able to transmit your signals to other people here is really cool. Makes it a lot more than just typing to yourself.

I was rather hoping that a "Telegraph Simulator" simulated the electric and magnetic fields along a telegraph line. This is more of a Morse Code toy.

How are you doing the timing for space? It feels off when I'm sending quickly, but also I never use a straight key, so my sending is probably terrible :)

Neat, but not nearly responsive enough. When I was your age, we had to key at 5000 wpm or they wouldn't even let us look at a radio.

Yeah, what a fun way to spend some time :)

Just reading “seveneves” (newl stephensom) - so this comes in handy!

So much fun.

This electricity nonsense is just a fad. The future will be powered by steam.
