If you're coming to #VCF #Montreal ( #VCFMontreal ), and are a #MeshCore user, please bring your companion with you.
If you do, you'll be able to interact with a couple of my anachronistic vintage computing mesh projects (which will be at the @foulab exhibitor table).
@foulab I got early WorldWideWeb.app running. It declares `Copyright 1990,91, CERN.`
1) it only speaks HTTP/0.9. That means no name-based hosting. So basically nothing on the 2026 Web works.
…there are ways around that… but…
2) There's obviously no TLS (nor SSL) here. And even if I manage to build and use something like BearSSL… this is a 25MHz CPU, so… probably looking at almost a minute to handshake HTTPS connections. So basically nothing on the 2026 Web works.
This is a weird project. (-:
no WASM in 1991

@foulab I keep hitting dead end after dead end. If anyone in #Montreal has an internal (50pin) #BlueSCSI I can borrow (or buy in the next couple days), please let me know. I’d also take some working SCSI (not ultra) hard drives in lieu. 😴
