Breaking news: someone just invented a bizarre shrine for the forgotten relic known as RSS! 🎉🚀 Now, if only there were a directory for people who still use dial-up #internet. 🤷♂️ #NextBigThing

Apparently, the hip new trend is to build LLM routers, but these clowns decided to ditch theirs because being cool is overrated. 🤡 Meanwhile, they obsess over logos and "self-healing" like it's 1999 and everyone's still using dial-up. 🚀 Who needs functioning tech when you can have fancy #buzzwords and broken promises? 🙄

There is something rather cathartic about writing this over a dialup modem in wcNavigator, on a machine that predates Mastodon. Much like writing on my website (https://mmn.ca/notes/) through this, it kind of brings back the joy of internet is one specific place with an effort to go get it.
Gonna be honest, I'm not motivated enough to make a full client :D

Oh, look! Someone resurrected the fossilized remains of Windows XP and put it in a browser. 🎉 Because, obviously, the world was desperately in need of a new way to relive the glory days of dial-up and Solitaire. 🙄 Bravo, Kimi K3, for reinventing the wheel... from 2005. 🕰️💾

🚀✨ Ah, the allure of turning your modern website into a Windows 98 #nostalgia trip—because who wouldn't want their cutting-edge app to look like it just time-traveled from the era of dial-up and floppy disks? 😂🔧 Go ahead, relive the joy of boxy buttons and pixelated glory, because retro is apparently the new... antique.

The Reed and Pickup: Putting The Internet Back In Its Place. “The basic idea behind this is that back in the dial-up days, the internet lived wherever the phone line came into the house. Laptops were still massive; we still paid by the minute to access the internet –it was essentially a really long, screechy conversation with a remote server and the whole family would share the one PC. So, […]

[Перевод] Как собрать собственный dial-up-провайдер на Raspberry Pi
Что получится, если взять Raspberry Pi, USB-модем, имитатор телефонной линии и старый iBook G3 с AirPort? Локальный dial-up-провайдер, который подключает ретрокомпьютер к интернету через Wi-Fi на скорости 33,6 Кбит/с. В этой статье автор собирает такую схему дома, разбирается с mgetty, PPP и модемным рукопожатием — и заодно показывает, почему эксперименты со старым железом всё ещё помогают лучше понимать современные сети.

So you want to build a dial-up ISP from scratch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb50cWlbzRo
Incredible video about just what it takes, exactly, to create an authentic 90s dial-up modem Internet Service Provider in the modern day. Fully explains things like RAS, PPP, SLIP and so forth that you will likely have heard of at the time but not understood. The fact you don't have to create your own routing tables by hand to get online is testament to some incredible work done by individuals to make the Internet accessible to home users at just the right time when it really took off.

Ah, the nostalgic lament of a virtual dinosaur 🦕 reminiscing about the "good old days" of dial-up and #chatrooms. Fast forward to today, and it's all devolved into a TikTok-driven meme-fest 🙄. How dare the #internet evolve and not cater exclusively to your personal history lesson! 🙃🌐

Ah, the #nostalgia of trying to resurrect a game for an OS that should be fossilized by now! 😂 Dig out your floppies and dial-up #modems, because someone's determined to make "retro" synonymous with "unnecessary pain." Who cares that it's 2026 and XP is about as relevant as a fax machine? 🤷♂️

Ordenando los trastos viejos, aparecen reliquias... acá el CD de drivers de mi modem USRobotics 56k interno... y sí, en su momento lo instalaba en Windows 95 😅
Pensar que en esa época (finales de los '90), 56kbps era casi la velocidad de la luz en conexión a Internet 😆
BTW, debo tener el modem guardado por ahí, luego lo busco.
¿Alguien más siente nostalgia por los ruiditos que hacía el modem al conectar? 💬

Well this is a first...

🤖 "Behold the technologist-parent in a Hamlet-esque quandary: to tech or not to tech! 🎭 Apparently, retro-tech parenting means lamenting 'Harvesting Eyeballs' while reminiscing about the magical days of dial-up. 📞✨ Spoiler: kids listen about as well as a buffering 90s modem."

🐢 Oh, look! A thrilling time capsule from 19923 about the cutting-edge, dial-up marvel that is FidoNet—surely the hottest thing since carrier pigeons! 🤔 With its *vast* reach of 20,000 nodes, it valiantly bridges the gap between the digital present and a bygone era when "porting to Apple" meant something wholly different. 📞💾

Oh, the LAN party, where #tech dinosaurs gather to play Pong on their stone tablets. 🙄 Apparently, stuffing your mom's #vintage car with outdated electronics is "cool" again—because who needs progress when you can relive the clunky glory days of dial-up? 😂🚗💾

and now my router decides to cosplay as a dialup modem on a long weekend.
The thing is so loud that without headphones you go crazy here

Oh, the brave new world of 1995! 😂 An assembly-powered Windows 9x subsystem for #Linux because, clearly, what we all need in 2023 is the joy of dial-up #nostalgia. 📞✨ Get ready for cutting-edge software that requires JavaScript just to read about it! 🙄

I just wrote a little blog post about the time that I created a 1990s dialup ISP in my home using hardware from the late 90s.

Oh look, a digital time machine! 🚀 Dive into the retro world of #IRC and #XMPP because nothing screams "cutting-edge" like 1999 tech. 🌐✨ But hey, who needs progress when you can embrace "the human" by dusting off your dial-up modem? 📞💾
