▲ 811 ▼ bash.org is gone (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago* by hal_5700X@lemmy.world to c/technology@lemmy.world 183 comments fedilink hide all child comments It was a collection of silly quotes from IRC channels everywhere, many of which dated back to the 90s. It was rarely ever updated in the 2010s, but now, the URL no longer resolves. Last capture was July 2023. https://web.archive.org/web/20230601000000*/bash.org EDIT Someone archived all the quotes on the Internet Archive.

What was your internet quota? It's so interesting to hear how different age groups or demographics interacted with the same content. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) For me in the mid 2000s we had satellite internet and I think the daily quota was like 200mb. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hinterlufer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I remember around the same time we had a 300 MB monthly quota on dialup. It made me very wary of what I did online and how large different kinda of media is. Things changed a bit after we got a 4(?)GB monthly quota over 3G a few years later. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Geobloke@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago A teenager, so early to mid 2000s. I can't remember what the quota was other than a couple of dodgy limewire albums and computer aids. And dad getting pissed when we pretty much bricked his computer permalink fedilink source parent [–] Vlyn@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago I read it a lot, but it feels like there hasn't been new content in years, so I stopped visiting at some point. permalink fedilink source parent [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago Gosh, me too! Honestly for a good decade there I think Reddit was the only URL I knew. permalink fedilink source parent
