Who the fuck did your onboarding, agent?! Did you skip over the part where you’re not, under any circumstances, to reveal the location of the Oldest House to the public?! Do you need another copy of that memo?!
edinbruh@feddit.it 1 day ago
Nope, the oldest house is just on the other side of the street
Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 day ago
Yep, other side, that’s definitely not just a red herring address that was invented for that interactive mockumentary that came out a few years ago.

There are at least half a dozen quality YouTube videos on that building. It’s a Comms hub/bunker and the NSA probably has an office inside where they get a tap on basically all traffic AT&T handles

I mean, at least they nailed the dystopian aesthetic

TIL, thanks! My first thought was that it might’ve been a telephony exchange center, data center, or other networking infrastructure hub. There’s a building in my city colloquially referred to as “the bunker” built with a similar hardened brutalist style that houses all the main network trunk connections for our state.

My father worked for Western Electric, the part of the Bell System that handled wiring this building (and others). I’m pretty sure he worked there, at least for a while. The amount of copper wire in that building is astronomical.

it is a telephone exchange or wire center building […] used for […] telephony, as well as […] for competitive local exchange carrier services. However, it is not used for incumbent local exchange carrier services, and is not a central office. Its CLLI code is NYCMNYBW.
It has been reported that the building is used as a National Security Agency (NSA) mass surveillance facility.[1][2]

Fun fact: there are some big magnets in there. I have a compass on my backpack and it had a lot of trouble when I passed that building.
Madison420@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Lots of high voltage and inductors which effect local magnetic fields. Probably not too many permanent magnets though, you can see the same thing at local switching stations of you try.

Might that not be a case of the building having a monster concentration of ferrous metal?
nyaskiez@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
It would be cool if you could share a video of that
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 hours ago
It’s a major communications connection hub and because that’s where so many data comes through, it’s also an intelligence base. Probably NSA.

Telephone exchanger. And as a consequence a lot of espionage occurred there, but just because it’s a big telephone exchanger, not because that’s its purpose.

Likely still occurs. Nowadays the equipment is different but most of the communications on the east coast go through thar building I believe?
