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.

I'd love to. Drop me a mail and let's find a suitable time.

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.

New comment by clemensnk in "Show HN: Nash, I made a standalone note with single HTML file"

clemensnk — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 10:22:44 +0000

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:

webstrate.addSyncServer('sync.webstrates.net')

Then share the URL: https://my.webstrates.net/?s/@sync.webstrates...

Now it’s live-editable with others!

Webstrates works by storing and syncing changes to the DOM.

With the chance of killing my sync server, here's a Nash note on MyWebstrates: https://my.webstrates.net/?s/41W5owzLg94wDQAin4yJXGnFyKWN@sy...

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.

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...

There's another interoperable 'threadiverse' platform called kbin where development really is taking off right now. Project page: https://kbin.pub Main instance: https://kbin.social Code: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core

Its lead developer is Ernest from Poland and it's implemented in good old php.

It keeps a log locally on your computer of how many of a certain type of pop-up it has handled (and how many clicks it has made for you).

You can access it through the 'about' tab in the extension.

I host a Mastodon instance, a Matrix server (using synapse and coturn), a Minecraft server for the kids, a server for an esoteric mod of Ultima Online called Ruins & Riches, and a Web server. I use Nginx for reverse proxying and Wireguard for VPN.

I also run a bunch of Raspberry Pis around the house connected to stereos to stream audio using AirPlay (with https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync).

New comment by clemensnk in "Random Ultima Online anecdote #2 – Horses inside players (2014)"

clemensnk — Thu, 23 Jun 2022 10:40:59 +0000

I started playing around with UOX late 90s then with a shorter-lived one called CFuse. Then I moved to POL where I did some scripting and finally RunUO where I worked on a customised server for a long time until my "great data loss of 2002" where I managed to wipe a disk containing everything I had been working on, among lots of other things :-)

I found a nice timeline of the different server emulators here: https://www.uox3.org/history/timeline.shtml

That's a great anecdote. Ultima Online was mind-blowing to me when I first read about it in early 1997 and then started playing later that year. There was something magical about just being in a virtual world where other players would go around doing their thing while you did yours. Ultima Online server emulators were also what really got me hooked on programming in my teens. I'm now a CS prof working on collaborative systems.

Recently, I've started playing again. I stumbled over a project called Ruins & Riches (http://ruinsandriches.com) that's a total modification of Ultima Online in the spirit of the early Ultima games. I don't do MMOs anymore, but Ruins & Riches can easily be played alone or as a small group.
