The author explains the history of their /edu page, which initially featured screen captures of coding sessions but was later taken down due to bandwidth limitations and a shift in focus to serving cat pictures. After being contacted in May 2022 by someone interested in exploring the old content, the author restored some recordings of the "protofeed" project online without payment integration. The virtual terminal has been back online for about two years without new content, offering a glimpse into past coding sessions. The restoration of the page allowed old links to become active again, showcasing a nostalgic return to the author's coding journey. The author invites those interested in witnessing coding mishaps and quirky web page interactions to visit the revived /edu page.
