@vaartis @vriska didn't yahoo buy it? they probably have them all sitting on an old tape backup somewhere

@meowski @vriska it's still alive i was joking

@vaartis @vriska really? i had a geocities page eons ago. i wonder if its still around

@meowski @vriska oh wait the one still around is neocities

@vaartis @vriska geo was late 90s early 00s era

@meowski @vriska I'm too young to remember

@vaartis @meowski zoomer vaartis

@vriska @meowski not that young I'd say but it depends on the definition

@vriska @meowski GeoCities is a CNAME for yahoo now

@vaartis @vriska im old enough to have watched this whole thing unfold frim the early days of the internet. you have no idea how we suffered with the technology back then

@meowski @vriska i had dial up and then adsl internet but that was in 2007 or so already, and a metered connection of a few hundred megabytes. internet here came relatively late. so yeah o remember pretty well it being very slow and not being able to use it at the same time as the landline phone. if that is what you mean.

@vaartis @vriska dialup was incredibly slow especially in the early days. at some point when we realized what was possible, and software started to get more bloated, it became frustrating

@meowski @vriska
>then internet was slow because speed was slow
>now internet is slow because the sites are absurdly big

@vaartis @vriska
now there are all kinds of other issues. neighbors streaming multiple 4k video streams, and providers doing sneaky stuff. i just had to switch ISPs because my dsl was doing upstream "burst throttling" and flat out denied it when i confronted them. i would get 5mb/sec for around 2 sec then it would immediately taper off to 350kb/sec

@meowski @vaartis I follow a Tumblr blog that stole those archives and posts one screenshot every day

@vriska @vaartis it just forwards to yahoo now. how do i get to geocities pages?
