My son who is 12 has gotten into collecting old Nintendo.
Just the other day, I managed to find one of the consumer CRT holy grails on our local equivalent of Craigslist. A B&O MX4200. It's one of the last CRTs that B&O made from the mid 00s. It has an excellent picture, nice onscreen menus for calibrating the tube, and supports NTSC over composite so he can connect his early 80s Famicom that's been modded for composite out.
Here at the computer science department in Aarhus, some of our professors and our head of department are doing their best to try to talk some sense into our politicians.

The letter's first page looks very low effort, which unfortunately is the first impression undermining the certainly large amounts of work people have invested in this. The note about needing a PhD could well be left to the form instead of sounding extremely elitist right on the first page. Yes, it's shallow and everything but do you want to be right or get your way?
Also our Webstrates (https://webstrates.net) system stores state in the DOM itself. But it's more a system for research prototyping than publishing web pages.
This is really neat! It echoes many of the ideas we've been exploring with the Webstrates project (https://webstrates.net). We've been using the DOM as persistence layer for building malleable collaborative software for smaller groups, whereas hyperclay focuses on using the same mechanisms for traditional webpages.
Recently, I have been experimenting with a local-first approach to Webstrates (https://github.com/Webstrates/MyWebstrates). Might be interesting to explore if a Webworker-based approach like in MyWebstrates could be used for offline editing in hyperclay.
Hi Clemens, I'm a big admirer of yours and what you're doing with Webstrates. I first heard of you about a year ago, when I was first exploring the ideas that became Hyperclay.
I love the idea of a local-first Hyperclay. Offline editing is one of the pillars of personal software and I'd like to head in that direction.
Would you be open to hopping on a video call at some point? I'd love to compare notes.
Nice work!
I’ve built a research prototype called Webstrates (webstrates.net) and recently created a local-first version: MyWebstrates (https://github.com/Webstrates/MyWebstrates).
I just tested your note on it, and it works nicely.
Here’s what I did:
I copied the HTML of Nash, went to https://my.webstrates.net, created a new blank webstrate, opened Developer Tools, and replaced the entire DOM with the Nash HTML. Now the content persists across reloads.
To enable real-time collaboration, run this in the console:
I've been using Marta on the Mac (https://marta.sh) and I really enjoy having a dual-pane file manager with an integrated terminal where navigating the folder hierarchy is synchronised in both directions.
Marta doesn't seem to be actively developed anymore, so if anyone know of a good alternative I am all ears. fman (https:/fman.io) looks nice, but I don't think it has terminal integration.
It's not actively developed, but not abandoned either, if you judge by the closing of issues in the dedicated repository. It's also my file manager of choice (minimalist UI but reasonably featured).
I've been enjoying playing a single-player/small-scale multiplayer mod of Ultima Online inspired by the early Ultima games called Ruins & Riches.
If you have nostalgia for Ultima and/or Ultima Online I strongly recommend it.
It doesn't have a dedicated webpage anymore, but there's some reddit posts describing it's current state, see e.g.: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultimaonline/comments/10axsri/ruins...
