I just found out that in old planes, flight computers were programmed with audio cassette tapes 😯 which now makes me want to look up how data recording on MCs worked on the C64 (before my time).
I remember that in the 90s, I tried to run "play.exe word.doc" to get my SoundBlaster card to write to my cassette tape. Which of course didn't work.
I bet there is a FOSS project that backups and restores to audio cassettes.
Well, I guess now I know how I'll spend my…

I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").
