The SR-71 Blackbird was arguably the pinnacle of slide rule based engineering.

The last airplane designed without the use of electronic calculators, it was developed from concept to first flight in just over 2 years. It flew higher and faster than any jet of its time (holding the speed record to this day), and pioneered low-observability (stealth) characteristics.

The sr-71 server hosts sites on the small web. Today it can host gemini (including titan support) and finger. On the roadmap is gopher, spartan, and possibly HTTP - though it will never be a particularly capable HTTP server. It also executes CGIs out of a /cgi-bin/ directory. It is built with sliderule - a go toolkit for the small web.
