I’m big on retro tech (which, sadly, is becoming code for credit bills in a trenchcoat; why did I give all that good shit away :( ) and occasionally think “damn, I should try to get an old C64 or Amiga, specc it up and use it as a daily driver”.
Then I got to wondering “do folks still use retro PCs to self host cool stuff?”
So, do folks here still use retro computers for self-hosting- either actually hosting services on the old hardware, or self-hosting lightweight tools specifically for use from vintage machines?
If the computer has a serial port, you can use SLIP to get an internet connection. Then you could host a simple website from it. It will run at dial-up speeds and you may have to write your own software though.
