These guys actually tracked down a copy of Archie (including the source code) and now have a public Archie server back online!

Archie was the Internet's first search engine (before the web existed). I remember using it in the early 90s.

It's pretty funny how usable 90s tech is: imagine, a search engine that just gives you direct links to file downloads without any other nonsense involved!

@notjustbikes Veronica was so full of garbage links that it was very difficult to find anything.

Tokyo has BBBase, a train designed for road cyclists to take their bikes out of the city for a ride.

It has big, comfortable seats and special racks for road bikes.

I am an old white guy with no bicycle. I'm sure everyone is wondering what the heck I'm doing on this train on an early Saturday morning. 😂

@notjustbikes @rmcauley On Apple TV it’s so much better to watch on Nebula. Not because Nebula is especially good, but because they’re not actively bad. They just have a video player.

@notjustbikes @annemartine @bigjsl That’s the thing I was surprised about that picture: actual space for luggage. Not common at all in trains in Japan.
