FAILING SECTORS: SYSTEM INFO v1.0
================================================================================
THIS SITE IS SERVED FROM METAL, SPUN ON OXIDE, AND READ BY MAGNETIC HEADS.
> THE HARDWARE
You are currently connected to a Linux machine reading directly from a
3.5-inch floppy disk.
If this page loads slowly, that means the system is working as intended.
If it loads instantly, or not at all, the magnetic media has likely died,
and you are viewing a cached ghost of the previous session.
> THE PURPOSE
The modern internet is infinite and permanent. This project is a
counter-experiment: small, fragile, and finite.
This is a nod to the era of physical computing. We aren't here to fix the
web; we are here to tinker. We are here to learn. We are here to see if
we can still serve a functional site from a piece of plastic in 2025.
The 1.44MB limit isn't a protest—it's just part of the fun.
> THE INEVITABILITY
This is a celebration of limitations. Floppy disks are mechanical.
Sectors will fail. Data will be lost.
This site is not designed to live forever in a data center. It is designed
to run right now, on this specific disk, until the read-head grinds it
down and it has to be replaced—or until I can't find any more sealed
boxes on eBay.
Things will break. We will learn. Enjoy the hum.
