@valere It's always been like this, if we're honest with ourselves

@valere @LunaDragofelis @aria this response is best followed up by removing the post ^^
@hsza @aria @valere @LunaDragofelis There is edit capacity that works for images. Why not just use GNU Imp to remake it manually and replace the image? -

@tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz @aria@awawa.club @valere@hostux.social The protocol wars date back to at least the 1980s (we are in 202X).
Cyclades is from 1976 at latest.

@valere #Historian #LongTerm #Preservation senses tingling:
Missing metadata:

* DublinCore.SourceI assume, someone has a working and complete backup of "The Internet" to restore from?

@tusharhero @lispi314 @aria @valere
You bet wrong. I was running comms from Lancaster to Manchester, Reading and London over X.25 (one of the Orange Book protocols) in 1986. The Orange Book was then ten years old, so OSI is at least fifty years old.

@valere@hostux.social ...wait this is AI-generated isn't it

Since this has been shared quite a bit, a quick heads-up: this might be AI slop. I just stumbled upon the image online and reposted it without thinking twice. My bad!
@valere I've seen these shapes before in another toot. Obviously based on 'the internet depends on one random guy' meme. But the one I saw had labels. As I recall the collapsed section of the Internet on the left is the bit that is vibe coded. Perhaps someone can find it?

The Cyclades project started in 1971.
Running from 1973 with four nodes in France until 1976 with 20 nodes in three countries.

@gvlx @aria @valere @tusharhero It seems impossible to find now and the vimeo option doesn't allow sale/renting anymore.
edit: Apparently it's because of Vimeo shutting down that part of its service.
Do you have a magnet link? -

@lispi314 @aria @LunaDragofelis there is not; @valere is using Mastodon, a software allergic to good things and crippled by design
