I might be too young. But I like writing webpages on my own isolated vps :) I can move around my own domain and even install packages! While still having the shell experience. And these days you can go as low as $10 per YEAR on a vps.

Where can you get a vps for $10 a year?

You'll often find them coming up on http://lowendbox.com/

Here is a weird quirky thing that I have been noticing a lot recently: People taking screenshots that have a tooltip window visible.

Is this accidental? An attempt to make the screenshot seem more spontaneous? Did Windows or OSX recently change something in such a way that this is now easy to accidentally do? Are people simply not proofreading their screenshots anymore? Is it a "west coast thing"?

I'm being serious. I was writing it off as user-error but I'm starting to doubt that now with how frequently I see it.

I'm going to use this opportunity to shamelessly plug my tildeclub page: http://tilde.club/~rich edit: Please also go to my girlfriend's page! She's jealous of my hit counter: http://tilde.club/~arch

Very nice. Was surprised to see some webkit vendor prefixes in the source.

Oh man I had completely forgotten about the obligatory disclaimer.

> People logged in and started live-chatting all-text pictures of dragons to everyone on the computer. "wall" command? (I've never used a Unix system at the same time as another person, I think)

In addition to 'wall' you can write to another user's tty if you're logged into the same machine with 'write' https://blogs.oracle.com/pranav/entry/how_to_send_message_to...

And if their perms permissions are wrong on their tty, you can /usr/games/rain > /dev/tty24 or whatever. That was great fun back when.

Oh man, this reminds me of my first shell account, and SDF, and the actual reason I got into computers. So excited. Maybe I could write a little communication API-type thing that these kinds of shell servers could implement, so communities could be linked together in some way? Hmm. That would be cool. I think I just found a good reason to mess around with Rust.

Yep. Same here. For you young 'uns itching for the headaches of yesteryear SDF has been kicking, in one form or another, since 1987. Yep, you can also setup a vanity (~) page(s). http://sdf.org/index.cgi?faq%3FBASICS%3F11 or dive into the wonders of Gopher space http://sdf.org/?tutorials/gopher

I highly recommend that if you support experimentation you join and donate -- I have a MetaARPA account that I don't think I've logged into in 3 years, but I just send them a $36 check every year because I think it's important people be able to have a safe, free place to tinker.

(Also, if you want to sign up, I can validate your account. Email me a link to your HN profile and if you have enough contributions to convince me you're an okay person, I'll take care of it.)
