  • TeamSpeak 6 maybe. Don’t know where they’re up to on it at the moment kinda lost the thread a while ago.

    Brief lookup seems things are still selfhosted: https://github.com/teamspeak/teamspeak6-server

    I don’t know how often its updated though all things considered. I’ve been out of the ‘clans’ games for sometime and just easing myself back into things from those rose tinted glory days of Blueyonder Gaming, Barrysworld and Gamespy shenanigans.

    First ever live voice over IP I used was Roger Wilco where I met the misses and spent the current 30 years messing around. Roger Wilco(Bought out by Gamespy), Ventrillo, mumble, ICQ, TS, TS3, Discord seems like we’re coming full circle again 🥲. Ah the nostalgia.




  • Article without the misty paywall:

    Some state election officials say they no longer trust their federal partners.

    The email that federal law enforcement sent this week to the nation’s top election administrators would have been routine just a few years ago. “Your election partners,” the Tuesday missive from FBI Election Executive Kellie Hardiman read, “would like to invite you to a call where we can discuss preparations for the cycle.”

    But multiple secretaries of state who received the document told us they viewed it as a threat, given recent events. The FBI had just seized 2020 election materials in Georgia, and President Trump had announced his desire to “nationalize” elections, a state responsibility under the U.S. Constitution. The Department of Justice has sued more than 20 states to obtain their election rolls, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is conducting an investigation of U.S. voting technology. The upshot is that a yearslong partnership between state and federal authorities—in which the feds have provided assistance on election security and protected state and local voting systems from threats—is now in danger of falling apart. Instead of “partners,” some state authorities now view federal officials involved in election efforts with deep suspicion.

    “The trust,” Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows told us, “has been absolutely destroyed.” The sentiment is not confined to Democrats. Some state-level Republican election officials, who, like others interviewed for this story, requested anonymity to speak freely, said that federal officials’ activities involving elections have become so unusual that they are starting to question the federal officials’ competency and motives. These state officials wonder whether the feds are trying to do what Trump has accused others of doing: rig an election._
