Is this Casio colocated in a Hetzner datacenter?

maybe he has reverse proxy to house because no public ip with ports for hosting?

I would argue it's not really hosted on the Casio then, since it's only static content the reverse proxy cache would hit 100% every time, except on TTL.

Doesn't this run on one of the CPUs Sega used in the Saturn or Dreamcast?

Better response times than other websites I browse… maybe they should upgrade to Casios.

Maybe we should all skip cloud platfoms and CDNs and buy a bunch of Casios instead.

The author's blog has a lot of interesting projects, though I did not find a writeup on this one. https://tbspace.de/

Maybe it's just a forwarding setup with no caching?

This calculator got me through college. I then passed it down to my brother and it lasted him through college also.

we should all upgrade to gemini on casios, not sure if the processor is powerful enough to run the opentls encryption. perhaps a beowulf cluster can be made

Well Casios are better than TI calculators.

My current favorite calculator is Casio ES-115 PLUS2

https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ESPLS2-Advanced-Scientifi...

I like it because when you enter sin(pi/12) you get (sqrt(3)-1)/(2*sqrt(2)) in mathematical notation, which is really nice for a $16 calculator.

Here I'm going to hurt TI: If you need a TI-84 or TI-89 for school, the place to get them cheap is shopgoodwill.com:
