Another fun throwback: apparently you can read a bunch of original issues of _Amazing Stories_ (Hugo Gernsback's 1926 magazine): https://pulpmagazines.org/amazing-stories
Nice write up which made me realize the magazine is still going, and at 100(!) years: https://lithub.com/how-amazing-stories-served-as-the-blueprint-for-american-science-fiction/
Beautiful use of Internet Archive. I just got to enjoy a live Godspeed's "Moya" recording that took place here in Chicago even I was a little kid on the east coast and wouldn't learn about the band for another 6 years: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection

In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90°. Over a month, the structure was moved 15 inch/hr, all while 600 employees still worked there. There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the telephone service they provided.

I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool https://gath.io
The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

Can I email someone my email address to check your logs and see what's wrong?
