New post! I wrote up some details about building my retro website, including the path taken to the current version, how it's deployed, and how fun it is to build with HTML4.

www.wezm.netBuilding a Website Fit for 1999Over the last week I’ve had a lot of fun building a little retro-themed website that I’m hosting at home. Inspired by Ruben’s Retro Corner I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, and actually started on it in June last year. More recently Joel Humphries shared on The Sizzle forum that he’d built a little site that he was hosting at home on a Raspberry Pi. This reignited my interest in getting my own site up again. For the fun of it I decided to implement it in HTML4 and serve it over plain HTTP so that it would work on old computers. The site in IE 4.01 on Mac OS 8.1

Here are comments on the evolution of browser share in a year.
(The three samples are heavily skewed to English-speaking higher eds.)
Last year results: techhub.social/@estelle/112047
You may still answer in the previous toot.

3/4 Fediverse members use #Firefox proper. Same as last year.
We welcome other parts of the Firefox family (any browser with Gecko inside):
• The share of Librewolf mentions doubled since last year.
• The share of other Gecko-based forks mentions also doubled since last year. (Even though some Waterfox usage is not logged because i did not list it.)

The shares of Chrome and Vivaldi were stable for the first thousand answerers (maybe more IT inclined) but doubled with the later thousand (in the last 24 hours).

The share of the last line (Opera-Blink-Brave mentions) decreased since last year.

A poll of "Which browsers do you use?" It notably shows Safari at 22% and Firefox at 75%. "2,138 people · 4 days left"

My Easter treat has been to work on my silly hosted-at-home retro website. It now features actual content, animated GIFs, and photos of pineapples!

There's a few dynamic pages under cgi-bin, although they are not actually CGI scripts—they are generated by a Rust program. The dynamic content includes live energy stats, climate info, and memory & uptime info. I still want to fill out the content some more, but I also need to do other things.

Screenshot of my retro themed website, "Wes' Nonsense Website", open in IE4 on Mac OS 8.1. There's a happy sun animated GIF at the top of the page and a menu of links to Computers, Calculators, Pineapples, and Sunshine Coast. Under that is a News section and live energy stats about the server.
