The late ’90s and early ’00s had their own rhythm: a slower, more physical and more local one. In this post, I want to document my memories of life before the iPhone changed everything, so that these moments are not forgotten. Even if the post is a bit chaotic. Late 90s to early 2000s Communication The landline phone was the main way to communicate.https://interfacecraft.online/blog/2025/how-i-set-up-usenet-slrn-access-in-2025/Thu, 13 Mar 2025 17:19:30 +0100https://interfacecraft.online/blog/2025/how-i-set-up-usenet-slrn-access-in-2025/In the 90s, before even the Internet existed in our area, I was lucky to be part of Fidonet.
