Damn I like the whole css-or-bust approach to styling that #snac has. I mean I know many (most?) others do a bit of the same but this is just delightful.

So..TLS aside, what is the most lightweight reverse proxy I can use instead of nginx in front of this thing? You know, in case I would like to move the instance from this beefy PPro to, say, a #486 or a #Nintendo Wii running #NetBSD? :)

Way back in the 1970s/1980s, before the Fediverse, before the web, there was an even older open network: "bulletin board systems" or BBSes.

You can watch a multi-part documentary about the history of the BBS network at:

➡️ https://fedi.video/w/p/h6CMyFnbdPZXpaRpMCBKdk

The episodes are themed rather than chronological, so you can watch any episodes you want in any order.
