::: By the by-and-by, I tried to sign up to '''RC's Slack''' immediately after I saw your alert box, but my attempt was unsuccessful, it appears that my Windows/SP isn't up to snuff (from what I could glean from the error messages). I don't know how many other Rosetta Code users are still running Windows/XP (there must be others, I should think), but I thought you'd like to know about my attempt to sign up. Apparently, my PC's hardware is also too outdated to install the newer Windows systems, or even, for that matter, newer web browsers. The only browser that now works for Windows/SP is FireFox 59.9.0, not even the Windows Internet Explorer that came with Windows/XP runs correctly anymore. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:31, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
:::: It might be a good time to try Linux, which works quite well on older hardware. Another option would be to pick up a used machine at a computer recycling center; you can often find them for around $100US. I spend most of my time on a Chromebook now, and you can get those for $100-200US as well. A Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspbian can serve, too, for less than $50. As a word of warning, I do intend to eventually disable non-HTTPS connections, at which point XP may simply stop working after enough iterations on the TLS protocol. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] ([[User talk:Short Circuit|talk]]) 20:54, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
