Tell me how you might use a system like this?
Looking for things to install and run on it.

My personal view on the web narrative isn’t that the W3C was some ‘useless ivory tower’ but that the W3C had the actual interests of users in mind, while the WHATWG had the interests of browser vendors and SaaSholes in mind.
For me, my personal blog and websites, XHTML2 had stuff I wanted. What the heck did I care about /hypertext application technology/ for either personal sites I wanted to make or sites I wanted to read?
We can certainly see whose interests the WHATWG web serves…
Aquaponics so many pool and pond pumps are expensive but you know what isn’t?
Swamp cooler pumps. Now you cannot submerge the whole thing but they works and move a large volume of water.
A story in two acts:
Left pic: me when I thought recycling would save the world
Right pic: me after I found out that plastic corporations invented plastic recycling to put the responsibility onto the consumer even though they knew plastic recycling was both chemically and financially not feasible, and now I have plastic in my brain, lungs and testicles
okay so i found something pretty awesome
the 3d scenes in Myst were all built using a mac modeller/renderer called Strata Vision 3D. i bought a boxed copy of this program with the intention of trying to recreate a model or two in the game, using the original renderer.
the box came with an extra disc - a library of shapes and textures. i noticed on the inside flap of the cd that it apparently included textures from Myst!
unfortunately, it turns out the disc was a demo. you browsed through the library until you found something you wanted, and then called a 1-800# to buy a serial number. you could enter the serial number and instantly have access to that texture.
unfortunately, no one has ever figured out how to crack Strata Clip 3D, and i couldn't figure it out today either.
fortunately, some creative digging turned up the Myst textures. they've been hiding on a Warez cd from 1996 for the past 30 years.
i just managed to load the program into system 7 and it's all there. these are the original textures used to render some areas of Myst. i still need to install Strata Vision to test them out, but afaik this is the first time these original textures have been seen since.
