fraggle<p>In 1991, long before modern browsers and flashy websites, the University of Minnesota introduced Gopher. A text-based, menu-driven protocol that let users browse information across the internet in a clean and structured way. No JavaScript, no pop-ups, no CSS, just nested menus and pure content. It briefly ruled the net, especially in universities and research circles.</p><p>But when the university announced plans to charge licensing fees, and HTTP emerged with the freedom and flexibility of hypertext links, Gopher’s momentum crumbled almost overnight.</p><p>Still, Gopher never completely vanished. A small but passionate community keeps it alive through Gopherholes. Sites accessible via vintage clients or modern gateways. It’s minimal, fast, and nostalgic. For those who crave a web without surveillance capitalism or bloat, Gopher offers a quiet corner of the net that still whispers of what could have been.</p><p><a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/gopher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gopher</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/internethistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetHistory</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/oldnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldNet</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/textbasedweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TextBasedWeb</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/retrotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroTech</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/digitalminimalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalMinimalism</span></a></p>

Ari [APz] Sovijärvi<p>Williams' Pinball 2000 platform (1998-1999) is a curious beast. Unlike virtually anything else, its playfield is intended to be easily separated from the cabinet. The original design idea was that you could have a spare playfield, which you repair and clean at the privacy of your company's service depot, then load the clean playfields into a van and swap them out on location. I recall the sales pitch was that you can completely replace the playfield under 5 minutes.</p><p>The cabinets were supposed to have generic art, so you could not just swap the playfield for a similar one, you could put another game's playfield in and then just reflash the software and change the backglass to reflect the game change. This'd save from moving the cabinets around needlessly.</p><p>Here's how it looks when the playfield is put back into the game, it was out for repairs when the lock diverter's rivets failed. It also got cleaned.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/pinball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pinball</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/arcade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arcade</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/retrotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrotech</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/mildlyinteresting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mildlyinteresting</span></a></p>
