hi rav3n!

whiskey, hermit in the woods, minimalism (thinking Henry David T (I always misspell the last name)), FOSS, old internet - let ME pay for that drink! :D

And yea, the bulletin boards and personal pages was as far back on the Web as I date, as it was already AOL 4.0 chats and AIM personal chats when I *really* joined in 1997, but I am all-in on IRC now (tilde.chat and some libera.chat stuff), and explore many different elements of retro computing, focusing on lofi modern computing (sbc's and lightweight software, things from suckless.org and 100r.co). I plan on doing a RPi Zero W 2 running my own OpenVPN instance and a web pages (both on a small Linode instance right now).

No whiskey here, just espresso. As I dried up recently. I am more than ok with this tho.

~bartender - double-black espresso (cup of espresso with a shot of espresso), and whatever else patrons at the bar like. Let's start a Midnight tip jar at the end of the bar, maybe a guestbook, for the passers by?

Many out on the Smol Web *mention* The Midnight, few make an entry.

later

hey t! many thanks! I've read some of the writings of Henry David Thoreau - always good stuff. thanks for the drink - the next one's on me :)

AIM - you bring up many memories with those 3 letters. used to chat with many online and IRL friends there back in the day. Love that you also mention suckless and 100r.co. I use a highly customized tiling window manager I've been tweaking over the years and various suckless utilities are integrated. Have also been toying with uxn since I discovered Hundred Rabbits awhile back. Fits right into that lo-fi computing ethos.

Nothing wrong with that! I tend to keep my drinks to the weekends, always enjoyed topping the week off with a few whiskeys. I'm decent at moderating myself, never been a fan of being drunk off my cake and feeling terrible the next day.

Enjoy that espresso! I'm going to need some tomorrow, got a lot of things on the task list to get done.

Here's a whiskey, neat and a double-black espresso. Mine is a spiderblack ale.
