The Smallest Dialup ISP Is A Raspberry Pi And A Prison Phone There were a plethora of tiny, local ISPs in the days of dial-up internet. Along with the big providers, many cities would have more than one. Some of those have survived broadband, but none of them were as small as [Jeff Geerling]’s Pi ISP — a tiny dialup ISP built so his Aunt’s old G3 MacBook can get online at 36kbps, as God and [Robert Khan] intended. Hardware-wise, the Raspberry Pi is at one end of the chain, and your retrocomputer at another. In between, you’ll have a USB modem plugged into the Pi, and a device called a “two-way line simulator” to create a dial tone for that plain-old-telephone goodness. [Jeff] notes that these were commonly used in prisons for the phones that visitors use to talk to inmates. Of course, since these devices are designed strictly for voice transmissions, which POTS was built for, you’re not going to get over 36 kbps, and that’s even with high-quality gear. The cheaper options might drop you down to 28k… just like with an ISP back in the day. ‘You get what you pay for’ is very rarely false. Now, you can use this technology to just connect two computers together — as we’ve featured previously — but [Jeff] has gone the extra mile to put together, via Ansible, an easy-to-install software package that will let the Raspberry Pi act just like your ISP’s servers once did, and connect you to that series of tubes once called the World Wide Web. Of course, the World Wide Web isn’t built for dial-up anymore, so you’re going to be waiting… a while. Hackaday’s front page isn’t especially heavy, weighing about 4MB at the time of this writing, but that’s 15 minutes of load time, and you still aren’t reading the articles. You also won’t be able to access much on old machines that can’t do HTTPS, but [Jeff] thought of that and bundles [rdmark]’s MacProxyClassic to translate the modern web into HTML tags that Netscape can understand and serve them over HTTP. You’ll still be waiting for our modern bloat, but perhaps not quite so long. If you want the “authentic” dial-up experience, you’ll need to see the lightweight webpages of Yesteryear, and MacProxyClassic contains a Wayback Machine extension for that purpose. We featured a similar project a while back that did that, but without all the joys of dial-up. Now get off the computer, we’re expecting a call!

Consumo de podcast en 2026: lo que revela The Infinite Dial 1337. El consumo de podcast en 2026 vuelve a poner sobre la mesa algo que llevo tiempo comentando en este podcast: el audio digital está más fuerte que nunca y, lejos de estancarse, sigue creciendo y evolucionando a su propio ritmo. En el episodio de hoy me apoyo en el informe The Infinite Dial 2026 para analizar algunas de las cifras más relevantes y, sobre todo, para intentar entender qué hay detrás de todos estos datos.   Como siempre digo cuando hablo de estudios de este tipo, hay que cogerlos con pinzas. Estamos hablando del mercado estadounidense, con sus propias costumbres y su forma de consumir contenido, pero también es cierto que muchas de estas tendencias acaban llegando a España, antes o después. Y en este caso, todo apunta a que el audio online sigue consolidándose como uno de los formatos más consumidos.   Si miro los datos con perspectiva, lo primero que me llama la atención es cómo ha cambiado el acceso a la tecnología. Pasar de un 6% de personas que escuchaban audio online en 1998 a más del 80% en la actualidad no es solo una evolución tecnológica, es un cambio de hábitos brutal. Y aquí el móvil juega un papel clave, convirtiéndose en el dispositivo principal desde el que consumimos contenido sonoro.   Cuando entro en cifras más concretas, veo que el consumo mensual y semanal de audio digital se mantiene en niveles altísimos, con un crecimiento especialmente interesante en las franjas de edad más altas. Esto refuerza algo que muchos sabemos desde siempre: el podcast no es una moda y no es solo cosa de gente joven, sino que está ampliando su audiencia de forma bastante sólida en todos los rangos de edad.   Otro punto interesante es el reparto por plataformas. Spotify, YouTube Music o Apple siguen liderando, pero cuando comparo estos datos con el mercado español, veo claramente que no todo es trasladable tal cual. Aquí entran en juego otras plataformas y otras formas de consumo que no siempre aparecen en estos estudios, pero que forman parte del día a día del podcasting en España.   Si me centro ya en el podcast como tal, hay varios datos que me parecen especialmente relevantes. Por un lado, el nivel de conocimiento del formato, que ya alcanza a la gran mayoría de la población. Por otro, el crecimiento del consumo semanal, que demuestra que cada vez más personas incorporan el podcast a su rutina habitual.   Y luego está la gran conclusión que saco de todo esto: el podcasting es cada vez más híbrido. Audio, vídeo, plataformas distintas… todo convive. Pero, aun así, hay algo que no cambia. Y es que, más allá de dispositivos, estadísticas o tendencias, lo que sigue funcionando es lo mismo de siempre: contar historias que merezcan la pena.
