- AshamedCaptain 5y agoNext: a website that loads from punched cards! Where to stop?
- teitoklien 5y agoSurely a website that doesn’t exist but is left to the imagination of the reader Is the final stop
- omgmajk 5y agoI have one like that. It contains pictures of cats.
- hooby 5y agoPictures of Schroedinger cats, I presume?
- pferde 5y agoMaybe.
- buitreVirtual 5y agoYes and no at the same time
- domesticsimian 5y agoI'm pretty sure that website exists.
- Navarr 5y agohttps://www.zombo.com/ https://www.zombo.com/
- fdomingues 5y agoHappy to see it converted from the old flash applet.
- corobo 5y ago> Surely a website that doesn’t exist but is left to the imagination of the reader A startup looking for funding, full circle
- datavirtue 5y agoThat's what I just experienced. They should probably upgrade to a zip drive.
- CTOSian 5y agoPunched tape (on loop) would be more suitable :)
- superjan 5y agoAn actual Turing machine maybe? I’m someone built one by now.
- progval 5y agoSome people even built one in Lego http://rubens.ens-lyon.fr/ http://rubens.ens-lyon.fr/
- errcorrectcode 5y agoEniac or Babbage Difference Engine doing HTTP/2.0. I can't remember if both are Turing complete, so it's an exercise for the maker.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoUnfortunately it is not fully solar - it is as far as it can go, but then it is connected to a home router connected to mains etc.
- johnchristopher 5y agoIf you want to nitpick go all the way. It's fully solar because a long time ago the sun got hot and the solar system got put together and that combination resulted in life and then later some sample of that life built a website with materials extracted from what the sun did to the original mess.
- robocat 5y agoNitpick++: A fair percentage of electricity in the world is powered by other stars, because Uranium didn’t come from our star.
- johnchristopher 5y agoAh, coool. But it's still fair to say it's solar powered, right ? Just not our sun ?
- robocat 5y agoNot really. The transuranics are believed to be mostly created during supernovas (core-collapse supernova nucleosynthesis) and neutron star mergers. Those events are not particularly similar to our sun's normal solar radiation. I think you are grasping at straws (although I'll be honest I don't know what that literally means). And I think the word solar really only applies to our own sun.
- johnchristopher 5y agoThanks for the explanation :). > I think you are grasping at straws (although I'll be honest I don't know what that literally means). Yup, I tried all I could ^^. > And I think the word solar really only applies to our own sun. So be it then. In scifi they always talked about sol-3 anyway and caspix-9, etc..
- phh 5y agoWhich reminds me of a catastrophe movie, where all countries launched all their nukes, and earth became radioactively poisoned. A submarine survived, looking for signs of life, and they received sporadic messages like "the whales are fine" (which made sense to them since whales live under-water). They went to the origin of the signal, only to find a computer turning on and off because of its solar panel, sending messages at every boot.
- whoibrar 5y agoThis would be an interesting watch, I tried searching but couldn't find it, can you share the name of the movie?
- CTOSian 5y agooh crap... now I had some sort of flashback from Fallout 4 (Yangtze) :) Thanks guys for sharing the link of the movie.
- KineticLensman 5y ago> They went to the origin of the signal, only to find a computer turning on and off because of its solar panel, sending messages at every boot. In the original film [0] and book, the signal is caused by a soda-bottle being knocked by a window-blind against a Morse-code telegraph key.

- Hokusai 5y ago> Location: Barcelona That is interesting as in winter and summer you will get a noticeable difference in availability. It varies between 9 and 15 hours of sun a day.
- c0balt 5y agoNow just span across multiple sun availability zones and ensure the local sun harvesting is redundant for a HA setup ^^
- davidandgoliath 5y agoThis is amazing.
- errcorrectcode 5y agoNice! Next step: an Arduino website run from ambient RF energy harvesting. :))
- emaro 5y agoWhich reminds me of the http://solarprotocol.net/ http://solarprotocol.net/ I stumbled up on earlier today. It' a network of solar powered servers and the content of the site is delivered by the peer with the most sunshine.
