Internet fungerar inte likadant som för 30 år sen

Internet fungerar inte likadant som för 30 år sen. Allt som fungerade för 20 år sen på internet fungerar idag skriver Jesper Nilsson i ETC. Det är faktiskt inte korrekt även om jag håller med om det han skriver i övrigt. 30 år gamla mejladresser funkar fortfarande men inte alltid. Rent tekniskt är det korrekt. De funegrar lika bar idag som de gorde då. Men praktiskt och i verkligheten är det inte…

Just getting around to playing with this alternative to http that the "small internet" proposed.

Telnet BBS Guide

In the quest to keep my old gear going I found there are still active Telnet BBS sites.

Gather around children, this was text based tumblr from days of yore …

So I’m using PuTTY as terminal software and the screen shot is of a ham radio/comic book site called FreqsandGeeks. The link above does take you to a searchable index of sites. Some questionable, so be warned but it seems some of the Internet as we once knew it still exists.

BBS bulletin board systems were the local level of email and file exchange. Things moved slow, they were mostly text and ascii, you had a time limit. Doom scrolling hadn’t been invented yet! Maybe a Slow-Web experience?

The address bar on your browser is actually frightening if you think about it. I mean, it lets you get information from all around the world through decades of human struggle with this nearly magical technology. Most people visit the same 4 to 5 sites everyday and are happy about it but it's the same as hanging out in the same places all the time and being happy about it. No problem with it, of course, but, if you are like me, the curiosity of just stumbling in that cool new place or seeing something you shouldn't always gets me out there. The difference here being that, instead of moving myself somewhere, I need to know what combination of characters would lead me to their virtual equivalents. Who knows what kinds of secrets and realities are just within our grasp, being as close but as far away as the address bar?
