@thomasfuchs Great idea! Guess I'll have to test various OCR programs to see which one deals best with low res text. Any recommendations?

I spent the last week scraping through a terabyte of GeoCities archives and collecting ALL THE #88x31 buttons! In the end, I gathered 29257 unique buttons (75k with duplicates). They are available at https://hellnet.work/8831/

Check them out!

I also have the dataset (~160MB), stats and a bit about the scraping process here: https://hellnet.work/8831/stats.html

Something funny just happened. My constant desire to procrastinate got the better of me again and I decided to download xscreensaver for ubuntu. Naturally, I decided to check out the screensavers that come prepackaged with it. One of them is called zoom and guess what happens when I decide to preview it?

Yeah exactly you have guessed it, #xscreensaver starts the program zoom. like, like, the video conferencing software. I was utterly baffled but it seems like I am not the first person to encounter this hilarious problem (see screenshot)
