Using a 486dx to build a blog (2016)
- willemlaurentz 2y agoNever expected it to be a "40K views/month hobby"! Cheers to the 486!
- anthk 2y agoA 486 can get a gopher client. Maybe NetsCape 4.04 has it: https://piteusz.ovh/files/windows/9x-nt/n32e404.exe https://piteusz.ovh/files/windows/9x-nt/n32e404.exe More stuff: https://piteusz.ovh/files/windows/9x-nt/ https://piteusz.ovh/files/windows/9x-nt/ It's useful to reach stuff like gopher://hngopher.com (and read the comments from this site, among the URS's). Also, he can open gopher://magical.fish thru retrozilla, among http://portal.mozz.us http://portal.mozz.us with older Mozilla releases (or anything working on a 486), if can do far more things than a 75MHZ machine could do back in the day. He is using an SSH/Telnet client, but with http://portal.mozz.us http://portal.mozz.us opened on old browsers for the 346 he could browse his own blog on it, albeit with a reduced layout: Write gemini://gemi.dev at the input box from http://portal.mozz.us http://portal.mozz.us to head to that Gemini site. Head to News Waflle. Enter: https://willem.com/blog/2016-06-23_building-the-blog-in-style/ https://willem.com/blog/2016-06-23_building-the-blog-in-styl... The full URL, with with https:// https:// before the domain. That's mandatory. Enjoy.
