I've had this in my backlog for a while now. If you ever move forward with yours, let me know!

I wasn't born just yet, haha!

Author here, I didn't! I've updated the article to reflect the actual port (and have since learned the difference between the two).

> any published work is likely to be taken and repurposed, for no royalties or credit I would say that now, more than ever, this means you should be collecting and sharing what you…

While not an outright solution to the fact that they _are_ expensive, if you don't care about them being second hand or a little older you can score a pretty good deal on sites lik…

That’s the one! Got it from a local B+N.

They’re being stored redundantly on a sqlite db. I’ll think about adding some kind of feed to the page if others are interested. I don’t know, I kind of like having a place for som…

Worse: I worked in grocery stores for years as a cashier lol

I did! I also use gloves when handling a large amount of the receipts. I worked as a cashier for years in my teens and twenties though, so it’s probably already in my blood.

Hey it’s me, the author! That was intentional as I honestly enjoy the trolling. There’s a basic rate limiter set up to prevent misuse, and a character limit, but beyond that I just…

I have a rotary phone, a voip adapter, and have been writing a local SIP server for another experiment. I am insanely tempted to replicate this.

That is absolutely fantastic. I've always wanted to get my hands on one to mimic a ticker-tape with updating stock/crypto prices. One day! Also, EeePC is something I haven't heard …

Receipt printers are a blast! I had a project from a couple years ago printing out GitHub tickets using a similar setup to what I have for this dot matrix printer.

I ask myself the same thing every day

It’s physical ink on paper, I feel like as long as you store it in a cool, dry place, you can probably get decades out of it if not more.

I was at a tires place that still uses them as of last month.

It’s pretty expensive though! I got the smallest box I could, 1000 sheets, from Staples for $30.

Yep, parallel! My bad, I’ll have to make some adjustments to the article.

Oooh, awesome! Thanks for the heads up

I’ve been wanting to explore more with this design-wise. There’s literally dozens of pages in the manual regarding font sizing, emphasis, italics, sub and superscripts, etc. Maybe …

You both are 100% correct! Originally I was going to have a wait (say, no new digits after 3 seconds, mark the ascii character), but I figured just scrapping everything after 20 as…

I was directly inspired by that video, haha
