Fun! I also did something similar with my personal website this summer:
- `curl listening.cailinpitt.com` shows what music I've been listening to recently
- `curl reading.cailinpitt.com` shows what books and articles I've been reading recently

I think these are very fun and I would love to see more content you can visit with curl. I'm setting up a home chores + calendar + weather station that runs off my homeserver. I was contemplating making a plaintext version so very stupid devices could still read and display interesting data.

FYI it works just fine on Windows if you run it from Terminal instead. As long as you don't use PowerShell mode in it.

>If you were just trying to download the original HTML version of this page, add -H "X-Original: true" to the curl command to have the server respond exactly how it would've to any non-curl HTTP client.
It seems like "Accept: text/html" would be more standard

... and then use `text/x-ansi` as the curl version, so other text-based clients could also fetch it:
wget -O - --header='Accept: text/x-ansi' nytpu.com/gemlog/2026-03-18
