<raptop> arxiv.org went up on august 14, 1991
<raptop> There is a small but non-zero chance that someone in the then-extant Soviet Union used the site
<raptop> hrm, apparently not like that, and it didn't exist as a www site until 1993

<raptop> huh, NASA is going to have a livestream of the annular eclipse
<X> raptop, what about a pre www site?
<SnoopJ> he means that arXiv the thing-wot-holds-papers predates arXiv.org the website-wot-provides-an-interface-to-that (it was originally a mailbox, then later gained FTP, Gopher, and WWW access)
<SnoopJ> (I think)
<raptop> there was a gopher thing, but I get the impresion that in 1991 it was just a mailing list
<SnoopJ> yea
<SnoopJ> Emailing individuals saturated their storage space and "an inbox everyone has access to" was a practical solution, is I think the rough sketch of it

<galois> [arXiv] “Error” arXiv api core — «incorrect id format for 9202028»
<X> Is this proof?
<X> nope lol I didn't read the footnotes
<X> It's a maybe
* SnoopJ squints at galois
<X> That's the only candidate paper I could find in my limited search abilities with an institution in the soviet union in the early 90's
<X> and I think the soviet union colapsed like...before then.
<SnoopJ> wut, galois's cousin instance does not go bonk on that URL, but galois does. but they use exactly the same venv :|

<SnoopJ> plugin state was stale I guess, and the reload functionality is extra-broken now
<raptop> X: still, nice
<raptop> even if it's more of a postprint
<raptop> Maybe galois's problem is that it keeps on getting into duels?
<SnoopJ> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
