With the enshittification of search engines & the boom in craptastic AI word-vomit machines, I'm starting to wonder if we should go back to making old-school public listings of our favorite sites, especially other ones created by actual humans and with actual valid knowledge contained on them?

Or maybe more librarians could catalog the web for us, since they're pretty expert at that kind of thing.

Because the machine-driven systems we've built are just... *bad*.

Accessibility Awareness

Most screen readers say "link" before each link, so links don't need "link" in the link text. For images used as links, the alt text for a graphic doesn't need to say "link" or "link to," as screen readers could say "link graphic link to Products," which is redundant.

Cool thing in the and ecosystem is ipnslink.com/

tl;dr: Run a server somewhere (like at home), generate a public key for it's identity. Users can access it from either the p2p network directly or any gateway that will automatically route to it.

No need for dns or messing with ip addresses.

I'm thinking it could be handy for users that want to self host at home on their pc.

Jumpscared myself by remembering americans use yards/inches/feet for measurement and they aren't just clean multiples of 100 between units. 💀💀💀

It is not ideal. If I had known this and read the fine-print, I probably wouldn't have shared it 😔

I'd like to thank Amazon for their decision to start charging for IPv4 addresses on top of their already inflated monthly charges for a small VPS we're running on their infrastructure. Caused me to finally do some comparative shopping and wow, turns out we can get what we need, and more, from another provider for about a quarter of what we're paying now

Is there an alternative to youtube search out there? It's gotten unusable with random algo spam and stuff that doesn't even contain my search terms.

Reverse GitHub Copilot, it doesn't write any code for you, instead it asks you to explain your code with non-specific questions and through the rubber duck effect this causes you to notice bugs and/or realize yourself how to proceed with coding. On the inside it is literally just Eliza (1964)

The good news is the isopods in my gecko terrarium are thriving. The new hunk of bark I got them looks to be their fave hangout spot

You should stop using Google Chrome. The company is following through on its threat to ban the ad/tracker blockers that a) help protect your privacy and b) make your web experience much more pleasant.

I've spent roughly a decade hacking on ChromeOS: patching it, compiling it from source, and deploying it into schools and charities. It was one of the best software engineering projects I've ever seen, but "Manifest V3" marks the end of my work with the platform. Effective adblockers are a basic security tool on the modern web and disabling them makes ChromeOS pretty useless.

If jacking into the net could flatline you we'd probably have a different relarionship to doomscrolling.
