If you wanted to listen to a music stream, which of these genres would you pick?

I added a counter to my retro website! 😁

Strangely it doesn't seem to work in (modern) Firefox/LibreWolf, though it does in every other browser I tried. 🤷‍♀️

I have a sudden desire to spin up a RealAudio server. Dunno what I'd stream on it though.

So, I've been thinking about this for quite a long time now, and a recently-boosted toot reminded me of it:

What is the #RetroComputing world's plan for #Year2038?

I suppose the simplest approach would be to agree on a translation convention: year 1980 displayed = year 2040 IRL or something similar. Include a note stating the offset. Repeat every 60 years.

There might also be another, more radical option: use binary patching to change the epoch date. Could be feasible for common C libs?
