The blinkerlights panel isn't even functional. But still cool looking .

At the computer museum in Alpharetta Georgia, none of the computers are on but the connection machine panel is on.

Use red light glasses after sundown and use f.lux or iris (anti flicker software).

NFO viewers on GitHub:

https://github.com/model-map/EmpressNfo

https://github.com/syndicodefront/infekt

nfo files were used to describe the release.

Similar to FILE_ID.DIZ files, which were a way to describe a zip file for bbs software to index them.

Buy bitcoin and forget the debt, if possible. Preach to the next generation do not go to school (public school is marxist-originated gov't propaganda at it's core; if not then why does the law require you to go to school in some areas), do not acquire debt. Learn real skills and trades. Tune in, turn on, and drop out.

I was home schooled until 4th grade. I finished my schoolwork in 2 hours and then played outside and read the encyclopedia the rest of the day.

So you're saying that the dude fired in 'Office Space' for bringing the specs from customers to engineers was necessary?
no duh. Why the "presidential alert" days before?

K-Meleon still runs well on older hardware (as well as Opera 12).

The best upgrade for my old x86 hardware seems to be Haiku OS. The browser situation is getting better all the time. As the overall system becomes more stable, even the full-featured non-native QT-based browsers will be more stable as well.

Other thoughts: nextcloud server running a single service (multiple nextcloud services will run like a dog on small hardware).

TinyTinyRSS gateway/server (your own google reader).

Text only usenet caching server via gmane.io and the other servers like sdf.org.

SSH / VPN gateway.

I have the first gen Apple TV and it makes for a great streaming server and networked stereo system.

This is why Risc-V being developed in China and other countries and exported elsewhere is ironically a good thing at the base-level of computing. The chinese computers will require China's bugs, whereas exported good will NOT have it, otherwise it won't be bought.
True but they aren't targetting browsers with user agent switchers.
Buy a pixel and run GrapheneOS. That way google looses money.
Elinks, Lynx, w3m still works.

Heck, you can run Opera, Vivaldi, Firefox, and Chrome 78 on 2000 or XP with a 2023 build of KernelEx.

I use brave, arc, firefox, chrome, and safari. Safari is the best performing. 'tis a shame that other web browsers are unable to use it as their rendering engine.

They are now Msft, they want to own the web.

Thankfully we have brave, Tor, Arc, Opera, GrapheneOS, calyxOS, LineageOS etc....

If you purchase a pixel phone, and put graphene OS onto it Google loses money.

There is no incentive for anyone to run nodes on the network, and worse, the most common use case is tunneling back out of the network to anonymize location, is largely abused and led to a lot of automated block systems arising on many internet services to prevent this abuse.
