		It's a shame browser makers removed FTP:// browsing support. FTP was a lot more fun than the homogeneous blob of HTTP we have today. I only discovered FTP transparently via web browsing and clicking around as a kid.

I opened the first of these at random:

http://128.237.157.9/pub/core-mp3s/

http://128.237.157.9/pub/core-mp3s/core-2000-02-25.mp3

Turned out to be an interesting historical snapshot in light of the current metal prices. A pre-9/11 discussion about the then-growing, now-defunct eGold. The thing that was trying to be Bitcoin before Bitcoin.

Kind of sad that we're stuck with the one that heats the Earth because Bush/Cheney decided we couldn't have the energy efficient one.

Hey, a scene.org mirror! Does anyone know if this Opiate is Thomas Knak? This one sounds a lot like him:

Edit: fun, they have my old hippocamp album too :) http://128.237.157.9/pub/scene.org/music/groups/hippocamp/hc...

Some of the http://128.237.157.9/pub/core-mp3s/ files are an interesting record of the past.

Why is this noteworthy in 2026?

		Yeah I’m also not sure what I’m supposed to be looking at. Maybe just the fact that it’s still running in 2026 is what’s interesting?
