@gadgetoid@fosstodon.org @eaton@phire.place I've had a Cisco NSLU2 that's been running nearly continuously since maybe 2008 (with a brief downtime for recapping a few years ago). The site from that era that explains how to bitbang a truly minimal linux into the flash still exists, but because it doesn't run adsense, Google doesn't care about it and it's impossible to find. And since the traffic to it is so low, neither do other engines (I've since archived a copy). It truly feels like the 90's before Google or Alta Vista even existed. Pretty soon people will start bookmarking anything obscure they find, then exporting their bookmarks to HTML and uploading it somewhere for ease of access, calling it their, "Home Page" or some such. Sarcasm...I think.

@gadgetoid@fosstodon.org @eaton@phire.place The most frustrating for me is when archive.org has the front-facing page but none of the files.

@gadgetoid@fosstodon.org @eaton@phire.place the true heroes are the random open directories with random lawn mower, laptop, generators, trucks, etc workshop book and manual scans going back to the 80s
