      Lemmy is the only place I’ve seen EBCDIC referenced, other than the college class that introduced me to it.

      Lemmy is for sure the only place where I’ve seen a JOKE about it. Nerd.

        I worked for a credit bureau for a while and a product we had used a mainframe for billing customers. So the billing file was in EBCDIC.
