Now I am curious if I put it online (I still have the machine) how it would work. Seems fun to do.
Reminds me of that blog/magazine who went fully solar and stopped thinking about uptime. What a time to be alive. https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/
A gif just loaded[0]! That means that the computer is alive, and the floppy still somewhat works. No luck in trying the homepage. [0] https://old.bigcat.space/278062.gif - here it is for the curious: https://imgur.com/a/AfcEnRw edit: the website just loaded, but not the images. It's still alive.

Which reminds me of the http://solarprotocol.net/ I stumbled up on earlier today. It' a network of solar powered servers and the content of the site is delivered by the peer with the most sunshine.

It's hosted on a machine with 4M of ram on windows 3.11, and specifically uses a web server which doesn't use caching (And I don't think Dos 6 caches files at the OS level, at least by default)
DOS does: https://home.csulb.edu/~murdock/buffers.html
DOS did have SmartDrive [1], though, which IIRC provided a more typical disk cache. I wouldn't think it was loaded in the default configuration, though I'm not sure.

Your comment was a shallow dismissal. Please don't post those.

It's perfectly possible to write a non-shallow comment about work that you consider shallow. More likely, though, there isn't much that's interesting to say about it, in which case you shouldn't post anything.

> Location: Barcelona That is interesting as in winter and summer you will get a noticeable difference in availability. It varies between 9 and 15 hours of sun a day.

If you want to nitpick go all the way. It's fully solar because a long time ago the sun got hot and the solar system got put together and that combination resulted in life and then later some sample of that life built a website with materials extracted from what the sun did to the original mess.
Nitpick++: A fair percentage of electricity in the world is powered by other stars, because Uranium didn’t come from our star.
