Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

I mean, all the websites in the world are probably using that much disk space collectively, so it's technically correct...?

got a ways to go yet. ddg (search assist) says the total size of all content on the (public) internet is 120 zettabytes (as of 2023). that's 1.2x10^23 bytes; you're "only" at 1.718x10^19 bytes.

If you want a modern browser, I recommend Lagrange, it's cross-platform. If you're a more CLI-minded person, I love Amfora, even if it's in maintenance mode.

You're trying to download a bunch of stuff from a website so you press the "download all" button, not realizing it is referring to all of the internet

Had to delete most of the internet afterwards. Hope I didn't trash something people were using.
