I recall my then-wife looking over my shoulder as my web browser auto-completed "freshmeat.net". Unsurprisingly, she immediately grew suspicious and expected to see a porn site pop up.

An institution for a very long time, definitely something from a different era. Farewell old friend.

I remember hitting my first summer job company's content firewall which thought this was a porn site because of the URL lol

I remember having to go home and tell my mum I now worked for freshmeat.net, looking at her face, then realising ... "NO! It's not a porn site!!!"
