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

hey that's pretty curl

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.

>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

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/...

... 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

See: https://www.digipres.org/formats/sources/wikidata/formats/#q...

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.
