@revspace After a few days of work, implementing 3 missing libc functions, repairing an extra 4MB of RAM, hacking around toolchain issues, we finally got Lynx 2.8.2 compiled and running on the VAX-11/750 (in 4.3 BSD Quasijarus)! That means we got to browse the (non-HTTPS) web using no equipment or parts newer than 1986 this side of the network (besides the AUI 10Base-T phy).
Happiest of birthdays to Flickr.com which launched 20 years ago today. We are so happy to be along with you on this journey.

Here's the first photo that was posted to Flickr Commons--less than four years after Flickr.com opened its doors--from our longtime partner, the Library of Congress.
Hey #AskFedi,
I'm thinking of writing an article about browsing Web 1.0 in the modern world (i.e., no JS, sometimes no CSS, sometimes no graphics at all).
Do any of you guys use online services* that work well without JS?
Care to share for my post? :D
Y'all are amazing #FediFriends <3

* Things like navigations, movie listings, points of interest, reviews, but anything, really. :D
I feel like I spend a lot of time in Mastodon sort of feeling a little lost and disconnected, but that’s beautiful in the same way it was when I was first trying to figure out Veronica and Telnet and Gopherspace and Usenet and that new weird World Wide Web thing from CERN and it seemed like almost anything was possible and that neat things would soon ensue, which, in fact, turned out to be the case.

The web used to inspire awe which great logos like this tried to convey.
We'll never see anything like it again.
