@mckinley Hmm, now that you mention it, my CSS is relatively “modern”. 🤔 Variables and such. I gave up on backwards compatibility here, really old browsers just don’t do CSS at all, so why bother. 😅 Maybe not the best approach.

I was today years old when I learned that you can connect to a DOS machine over a serial line. 🤯🥴

Do ctty com2 in DOS and then something like minicom -D /dev/nullmodem -R cp437 -b 9600 on Linux, for example.

It literally only redirects stdin/stdout/stderr on DOS, which limits what you can do quite a bit. Launching edit, for example, starts the editor on the normal screen and you have to use the actual keyboard to control it.

(It’s probably useful to note that you can back to normal operations using ctty con.)

Those 9600 baud are pretty slow and they make it feel like you’re sitting in front of an old machine where even dir prints line by line, slowly.

Fun stuff. 😅

@mckinley I shut it off. It became increasingly difficult to decide where to put which content. Does it go into the phlog, the weblog, just twtxt, Mastodon, something else, … ? I wanted to reduce the number of “channels” that I use. And Gopher is the hardest for people to access – not from a technical point of view, of course, but _regular_ clients basically don’t support it anymore. Aside from a small “elite” group, nobody could access it (and I’d rather not have to point people to Gopher proxies all the time).

I’d rather focus on keeping my website compatible with older/retro clients. Not having a forced redirect to HTTPS and sticking to a simple layout is mostly enough.

(Those older clients tend to extend HTTP/1.0 a bit by sending a Host: header. Without that, my webserver wouldn’t be able to find the correct vhost.)

Really, having my _exact same website_ accessible with those browsers feels more rewarding than having to resort to Gopher. 🤔

We rode our bicycles to the Reiterleskapelle (Rider's Chapel). At first the sun was out but then it vanished behind the clouds. Icy headwind from the east and a subtle incline all the time made for a physically demanding journey there. The way home was rather quick and effortless. We could have used gloves, it didn't feel like 14°C at all, not even close.

15 shows the drain pipe for the giant tree hole.

@bender It is the new "politically correct". Something that was used to describe acting in a more civilized way with one another. Turned into a scapegoat for the other side to label, demonize, and attack.

@prologic now, in a more serious tone, it is a US slang for "aware of, and actively attentive to, important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)". I will use this opportunity to note: I am woke.
