From the “About” butan on the bottom right: “gardengardengarden (like www) is a curated library and a collection of essays that explore the current state of networked technologies, and aims to inspire a new perspective on reimagining a softer digital future that is rooted in intention and expression. One essay is published on every active day.”

Compare to Connectix's RAM Doubler for Mac which was not only legit but is so good that it's often worth installing even with compression disabled:

- bmonkey325 538 days agoThe Mac was legit, but windows was always snake oil. Honestly, I think that the working set on windows is too dynamic for it to matter even if it did compress something.

- Notes:
A few of the story links (the ones to the gatech.edu domain) seem to be broken and were not archived in Wayback Machine. I call this out because the very newest story link (“I had a Partner, Right?”) is one of the broken ones and might cause people to bounce from the page. The vast majority of story links do work!
I assume the various authors' habit of abbreviating the name of the game to “War 2” stems from the game executable's name, `WAR2.EXE`. Eight-dot-three strikes again :)
Kali is the IPX-tunneling software they were using to enable WAN play. The “Battle.net Edition” of WAR2 wouldn't come out until 1999, after StarCraft and Brood War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_(software)
- Meta: A console hacked in this way loses all signature checks, meaning one can run any Homebrew, any pirated official game/DLC/etc content packages (the official store is shutting down so fuck it lol), any unsigned content packages like custom Rock Band songs, anything.
You can convert your Dashboard-installed legally-owned games to run without the disc (NXE2GOD, i.e. New XBOX Experience [Dashboard update that introduced the DVD-installation feature] to Games On Demand).
You can patch out the 10ms “ping limit” and tunnel System Link over the Internet. You can replace the HDD without the hassle of the MS-signed security sector and without being limited to officially-sold capacities like 20/60/120/250GB — shove a 2TB laptop SSD in there!
- Meta: This isn't meant to imply that any of the sites in the results are actually still running PHP3 since Cool URIs Don't Change and they could be powered by pretty much anything. I just thought it was interesting to see which sites have some sort of lineage from software that old.
There's a roughly three-year period of time when it was most likely for sites to adopt a `.php3` URI scheme:
— 1998-06: First appearance of PHP 3.0 https://www.php.net/manual/en/history.php.php#history.php3
— 1999-01-04: Zend Engine (PHP 4) announced https://web.archive.org/web/19990421025151/http://www.zend.c... “Development on Zend will be completed in the first quarter of 1999, and a final release is expected on the second quarter that year.”
— 1999-10: First of several PHP4 public beta releases: https://web.archive.org/web/19991012225049/http://php.net/ve...
— 2000-05-22: PHP 4.0.0 https://web.archive.org/web/20000621094131/http://www.php.ne.../
— 2000-10-20: Final PHP3 release, version 3.0.18 https://www.php.net/manual/php3.php
Compare mod_php (Apache) installation docs from before and from after the release of PHP 4:
https://web.archive.org/web/19990508133533/http://www.php.ne... sez “`AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3` — You can choose any extension you wish here. `.php3` is simply the one we suggest.”
https://web.archive.org/web/20001110084900/http://www.php.ne... sez “For PHP 3: `AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3`. For PHP 4: `AddType application/x-httpd-php .php`. — You can choose any extension you wish here. `.php` is simply the one we suggest. You can even include `.html`.”
- How is Google determining that these pages are PHP3?
This is one of the pages from the SERPs:
https://www.therealjackrussell.com/trial/height.php
But there is nothing in the page or its HTTP headers that would tell you the page is even PHP (except for the extension which might be misleading...)
- It's just based on the file extension of the URL and nothing more. No way to tell if it's actually PHP behind the scenes.
I see that page in my results too and the one you linked is post-redirect from an older domain that has the php3 URI scheme:
It is admittedly a little fuzzy since Google can just decide not to honor the `filetype:`/`ext:` operator like they do for so many others. I also included the `lr=lang_en` parameter which limits the results quite a bit, but I figured that would be more enjoyable as a submission to an English-language community like this one :)[lammy@popola] curl -I http://www.terrier.com/trial/height.php3 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2024 20:51:07 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Length: 258 Connection: keep-alive Location: http://www.theRealJackRussell.com/trial/height.phpKagi's results are even better but I submitted Google instead due to the paywall: https://kagi.com/search?q=filetype%3Aphp3
The idea for this submission came from this xltronic-dot-com URL when I was looking up some old 808state stuff yesterday, a site which was not listed by either search engine: http://xltronic.com/mb/99108/faq.php3
