There’s a church (still maintained and used!) from the 13th century. And a farm from the 18th century, which is a museum now.

My house is from 1969.

I trained an ANN back in 2012 to trade bitcoin for me on mtgox. It performed quite a bit better than just HODLing until mtgox happened.

Now I live in a van down by the river.

I self-host with navidrome. I fill up the library with spot-dl. I listen to it with tempo on Android.

I’ve been using qbittorrent for ten years, and now you’re telling me it has a search engine built-in?

One of the local secondary schools had a mailserver. No one knew or took security seriously in the mid-to-late nineties. As a result, it also hosted an ftp-server with widely shared credentials that held some 20GB worth of mp3s when it was shut down after three years in service. It was one of the biggest in the country at the time.

Irc and DCC-transfers were huge, too. As CD-writers became common place, a lot of it took place over snail mail or sneakernet. A guy at school had printed lists of all his tunes and took orders to burn them to music CDs.

I think the limited selection and limited transfers/storage made you cherish things more. Today you’ll never finish your library in your lifetime.

Yes, and now they’re looking for a real terminal

People keep recommending terminal emulators, but I think they’re missing your point.

I’m not aware of anyone making new terminals these days. In my opinion DIGITAL is still king. They are getting a bit hard to come by. VT220 used to be the gold standard, but a VT420 or VT520 is still worth it if you can find one.

Looks like there are a few VT420s on eBay going for up to $200. Prices aren’t what they used to be.

not just a theory

You mean like gravity?

I’m going to guess 20. I wear them a lot. I probably buy a new pair every other year. I go for no-brand, but always polarized.

The leading cause of death is getting scratched up while getting tossed around in the car.
