joergwas this the weird "game" where you throw your N900 into the air and hope to catch it on its way down before it crashes on the floor?00:01
Oksanaasixwheeledbeast: It looks like the zip file is a link that gives 404?00:01

sixwheeledbeastWayback doesn't have anything archived before it went 404 from what I see.00:02
Oksanaajoerg: No, it's juggling of Linux logos one?00:02
sixwheeledbeastthe throwing device one was in extras i believe00:03
joergwell, external link http://www.atombiztos.hu/juggler.zip00:04
joergnot _that_ surprising00:04
joergwayback wouldn't have archived it unless somebody would explicitly take care00:05
joergthe age old big problem with fora and external links00:08
joergparticularly unnecessary for a "300 line [of python code] game project"00:15
joerghad almost fitted into the plaintext body of the forum post itself00:16
OksanaaThe difference is between "almost fitted" and "did fit and publish" 🥺00:22
joergthere's an option to attach .zip to posts on tmo00:27
joergnot sure which size limit, but certainly the sourcecode had fitted no problem, no idea about data files like bmp images and whatnot else was in there00:28
joergyou frequently see this problem with external pictures embedded, they vanish after a few years, rendering the post worthless00:30
joergwell, it was like this a 10 or 20 years ago, no idea what it's now, with all that "lonks to external sources, I'm not responsible for the content" etc00:32
sixwheeledbeastI mean from the screenshots it doesn't look a massive loss?09:53
