Listen up, tech-heads! πŸ–₯️ The article hilariously dives into the "cutting-edge" world of benchmark hacking with the enthusiasm of a soggy towel. 😴 Spoiler: It's mostly about digging through your old git commits and scraping GitHub like a digital archeologist. πŸ¦– #Innovation?

#DigitalArcheology: Moving hard drives i discovered the 13gb uncompressed source footage of this #mummification porn I shot in 2005 that's now old enough to appear in pornography in even the strictest jurisdictions. This was 10% of my 2004 era HDD www.collectorsrealm3.net/2022/12/10/j...
πŸ‘Ύ Ah, behold, the 21st-century digital archeologists! πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ They've reconstructed the source code of Commander Keen 1-3, because apparently, that's the pinnacle of human achievement in 2023. πŸ† Let's gather 'round and marvel at the relentless pursuit of the utterly irrelevant! πŸš€

This means my #retroComputing project is now turning more into #digitalArcheology, and I'm more determined to see how far I can go with it.

I've also realized that the archive copies of much of the technical writing that I did in a former life is going to need to be properly archived before it turns to dust or bit rots. (2/2)

Ah, the digital archeology site for #CP/M listings. ⚰️ Let's all gather 'round to marvel at the ancient #relics of yesteryear's tech, archived like sacred texts on the modern marvel known as the Apache server. πŸ–₯️ Because clearly, our future depends on knowing the file size of CPM2.2 from June 2025. πŸ“œβœ¨
