27 years ago my job was hosting hundreds of websites (CBS News, among them) on Sun hardware just like that. It baffles me that anyone would consider this a question at all.
Were those websites supporting SSL connections, much less TLS 1.2? That would be my question on hardware that old. (In this case, it looks like they offload TLS to Cloudflare, so the machine itself isn't doing any encryption/decryption.)
I grew up in a place like that (Port Washington, NY), and it was pretty ideal; I'm raising my own two kids in a suburb of Boston that feels very, very similar along almost every axis.
They're not voting against their own self interest; they just have different interests than you. Their primary interest and goal is making sure their out-group is hurting, and that is what they are voting for, regardless of that happens to them.
Hah - that is exactly what I did. Someone asked me this question and after 5 minutes in the weeds of the debounce on the mouse click they said "look all we wanted was to find out if you'd ever heard of DNS, let's move on, that was great".
I worked in a place where basically everything that happened in the company was implemented as actions within Lotus Notes.
While the choice of implementation and performance were abysmal (Notes was a great/the only choice when the decision was made but 25 years later not so much), the actual idea was amazing and it worked extremely well.
No (or, not yet...) and yes, I know the Allmaps team well--it is an excellent project. There are a lot of similarities, but I would say two high-level differences are 1) OIM is built around server-side processing that immediately produces downloadable files and web services (geotiffs) while Allmaps applies a client-side transformation to non-geo IIIF tiles, and 2) OIM is designed around the creation of mosaics from many different pages to a greater extent than Allmaps is. This year I do see bringing more IIIF/Allmaps tooling into OIM though, so stay tuned!
