Catch of the Day: The Forefather of the World Wide Web! 🏛️🕸️
Hey Retro Fans!
Hold your breath and bow in reverence. Today, our FrogFind radar didn't just catch an old browser; it caught the absolute foundation of the modern internet. Between all the Nintendos and dusty Windows PCs, this gigantic milestone appeared:
NCSA Mosaic 2.7b5 on UNIX (X11)!
For those who weren't online in the early 90s: Mosaic, developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), was the first web browser that could display images inline next to text (rather than in a separate window). Starting in 1993, it was the spark that made the World Wide Web appealing to the masses! The Mosaic team later went on to found Netscape, and even Microsoft's first Internet Explorer was based on licensed Mosaic code.
The fact that today, in 2026, someone boots up a UNIX machine (perhaps an old Sun SPARCstation or an SGI) and navigates our frog pond using the final beta version of NCSA Mosaic (from around 1996) is like operating a working time machine. It proves one thing: True HTML survives decades.
A reverent cheer to the pioneers of the internet!

@jamesholden Very cool - I love 32-bit #SPARCstation hardware. On the point of the terminator - is it because you were using an external drive too? I don't remember having to use a terminator if only using the internal drives.

Compiling old games on my #sparcstation . Mirror Magic II from 1994 already works, even with audio! I remembered the plain old Linux sound interface is compatible to #Solaris‘. This game originally was ported from the Amiga and still is super enjoyable. I was able to obtain the 1.0 source code from a very early Linux pre-distro code archive.
The original author still enhances it continuously by adding more play modes:

Someone's old Sun SPARCstation IPX fan page I ran across today, randomly.

Ok, here's the blog post!
If you've wanted to party like it's 1994 and experience life on planet #Unix _before_ Solaris, why not try a bit of #RetroComputing and try #SunOS 4 on an emulated #SPARCstation 5? https://apintandaparma.club/cos/falling-down-a-rabbit-hole-of-nostalgia-episode-1-sunos-4

NVRAM von der #sparcstation 20 repariert. Mir ist da ein kleiner Fehler passiert. Aber nichts, was sich nicht fixen lässt.
Aber am Ende funktioniert es.

Trying to remember a unix gag from the early 90s. You could send a command to someone else's terminal and a little guy would appear on screen and slowly push the whole thing off your monitor. If you knew what was up, you could kill the process, but if not, you'd be locked out. I'd swear this was called "Ferkle", but I can't find anything mention of this anywhere. This was on a Sun SPARCstation, I believe.
Anyone?
