I wrote a web browser for Freenet called Snarfzilla. I guess it may have been the first web browser for "the dark web". [1]

I integrated "Fair Tunes", which tried to pay musicians for mp3 files, long before any label was selling mp3's.

(Edit: I just remembered Freshmeat automatically rejecting Snarfzilla because they were so sick of projects ending in *zilla. The owner thought it was cool and added it after I emailed. No idea why I used 'snarf'. I've never said it out loud.)

I wrote software for Robinson Helicopter using Pick up till the early 2000s. They used it for the production, manufacting and inventory control. It was based on a system called PRO:MAN.

I forget, why do the flat-earthers think the government doesn't want us to know the earth is flat? The same reason for not wanting us to have an anti-gravity device?

> We're based in Amsterdam and aim to work with Hetzner

I wonder if Hetzner knows their aim.

Yeah, just use the DC's UPS.

"nor have I known anyone who ran into that problem"

Why on earth would people tell you that?

"36 cities so far. Every visit lights up your dot."

You paid to patent this, whatever it is. How about more than two sentences to see what you're charging people for. I can't tell from the website's "About" page.

Edit: Even the github link is a 404, I give up.

Read the archive.today blog, whoever is running archive.today already made many posts about Patokallio and his family members.

Why didn't you tell him what you told us?

Very buggy, so many it's not even worth reporting, since you can't be bothered to test.
