I have something much, much worse: I've got a rabbit hole! Here's two mirrors of a quite old website that is heavy on reverse engineering lore. While technological details may be outdated, many of the teachings certainly still apply.

Edit: Sorry that the page is somewhat labyrinthine.

On that first link is a date, it displays for me

"February 3 19122"

Took a look to see what's up with that (I'm not familiar with javascript) but it looks like he was using a function that returned the number of years since 1900, with the "19" hardcoded. So for 1995-1999 it would've worked fine, but since 2000 it has been 19100, 19101, etc.

"19" + years_since_twentieth_century

instead of

1900 + years_since_twentieth_century

Finding his site in 1995 or so taught me an enormous number of things that I don't think I would have learned any other way.

Yes, I genuinely felt a bit sentimental and melancholic just clicking through a few of these pages once again.

I wish I’ve found these website when I started using internet :/
