Shouldn't have stolen the color scheme from jwz. Now we have two problems.
Green on black is a colour scheme from old terminals..
Has the community of people who wrote documents like this just dried up and vanished? Or have they all moved somewhere underground I can't find?

I was just talking to a friend about this. It seems like the old web is vanishing. I miss the random, often times horribly designed custom pages people used to setup. I hope we’re looking in the wrong place.
It feels like a bait and switch to me because search used to yield more interesting results, and social networks did relatively little to get you to buy something, but as their precision in achieving their commercial goals have increased that is no longer true.

But this site is super hard to read on mobile and really hurts your eyes. I get the nostalgia value but there should be a more usable version for the users just discovering it for the first time.
Not sure if serious... just rotate the device into landscape. Or stick to old Apple][ / C=64 stuff.
right in the feels.

As for hurting your eyes.. that's user preference and this isn't my site. Try reader mode I guess?

Are you for real? This website has been around and has looked more or less the same since the late 90s. The claim that jwz invented the green and black color scheme is probably the strangest thing I’ll read all day. Also, what’s the first problem?
It's a reference to jwz's saying "some people, when they have a problem think 'I know, I'll solve it with regular expressions!'. Now they have two problems" (not an exact quote).
The user posting this makes me think the whole post was a joke ;)
Hmmm, why doesn't the site have https?
Most arguments are BS but still keep popping up:
- heavy on the CPU (not with anything after 2006)
- hard to setup (not with LE + ACME)
- I don't process information (that doesn't matter/is not the reason, DPI, MITM come to mind)
- browsers can't handle it (lies, browsers handle it fine, unless you're using a browser from Better yet: even if the resource/browser stuff were relevant, you can still leave http up and add https as an option.
I learnt about coffee and how to brew it from the ancient coffeefaq.txt file, copied via sneakernet and usenet, back in the early 90s. The text is totally valuable, and of course still valid. It has found its permanent home on text files.com, and that is so great. http://cd.textfiles.com/group42/FAQS/ACAFFEIN.TXT
That doesn't reflect my experience. If you buy fancy single origin beans, the taste varies wildly from region to region. I think within a region the taste differences mostly come down to roasting, but an Ethiopian and Kenyan coffee aren't going to taste the same at all.
To me the best quickie coffee explainer I've seen is https://static1.squarespace.com/static/52d4cb70e4b0ba94ab0ae... . The coffee control diagram is basically everything you need to tell a new wannabe coffee snob.
