Internet Explorer 404 Page Nostalgia
// e.g. https://www.foo.tld/one/two?a=b&c=d#qwe, becomes // https://www.foo.tld/?/one/two&a=b~and~c=d#qwe // Note: this 404.html file must be at least 512 bytes for it to work // with Internet Explorer (it is currently > 512 bytes) // If you're creating a Project Pages site and NOT using a custom domain
A screenshot of source-code comments explaining how to configure a custom 404 page, including an old Internet Explorer requirement that the file exceed 512 bytes. The joke is nostalgic: it highlights an obsolete browser quirk and outdated web-development practices. People share it as a reaction to remember the early web and legacy technology.
