so yesterday I added https://prose.nsood.in/hits.json to my blog, which counts requests over the past 24h by web page, by referer, and by user agent

notable user agents:

@theking it would fill me with great delight if you did
Show threadDemoness4d ago
@tendstofortytwo i can try and plug it in in the morning and pull up the page some time that day
not sure what the user agent looks like for it
Show threadtends 4d ago

@theking well, if you visit my blog, you can check /hits.json and the user agent should be there! the file is publicly readable, not behind a login or anything

lemme know if you do though, would be very fun to see

@tendstofortytwo
looks like the UA is
"Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/4.0.9800/191.396; U; en) Presto/2.12.423 Version/12.16"

had to manually specify https to get it to work lol
Show threadDemoness3d ago
@tendstofortytwo i was able to read an article, with images loading
although all css and stuff seems to not work lol
Show threadtends 3d ago

@theking very cool!!! thank you for trying

would you be able to share a photo? (no worries if not! I'm just curious how the CSS fails)

@theking hey, that's some pretty graceful degradation!!!

thank you for sharing!

@tendstofortytwo browsing on this is funny because my phone is pretending to be a Bluetooth modem so it is able to get online, because this is before wifi was built in and wifi sdio cards are really hard to find for these
Show threadtends 2d ago

@theking ooh... I didn't even know Bluetooth modems were a thing O_o

also, how do you get around HTTPS? I think my blog mandates it, it I'm not mistaken?

Show threadDemoness2d ago
@tendstofortytwo this supports https i think
opera mini somehow has that work still
its technically semi supported still too, oddly
the built in browser does not work with practically anything
Show threadDemoness2d ago
@tendstofortytwo it even has rss feed detection and support for subscribing and viewing? wow
Show threadtends 2d ago
@theking I noticed!! I wonder if there's a reader in there...
Show threadtends 2d ago

@theking that's wild, because lets encrypt uses ciphers new enough that iirc any internet explorer compatible with windows xp would choke on it

I suppose if it's still being updated they could've added modern TLS support... which is incredible

@tendstofortytwo
It is indeed pretty graceful and tidy!

I first read this as degradation as in the kink-flavored kind   

Then I saw that it involved stylesheets, and I quickly simulated some webdev themed scenes before my brain reminded me that "graceful failure" is probably what this meant

@h3mmy @theking yes... 😅 forgive this extremely asexual tech nerd who didn't even consider the other meaning lmao
Show threadBewilderedKat 2d ago

@tendstofortytwo
As a fellow ace nerd, no worries! It's a consequence of me doing scene planning before trying to catch up on Fedi. Brain still in improv mode 😅
