Although I'm not in the target audience (because Google), I think some of my less nerdy friends would find this extremely useful. I've had quite a few ask me for an easy way to cre…

This is delightful! As someone who really, really liked Win2000 before switching to Mac, getting to browse the web on an NT/IE6 is a wonderful nostalgia trip (especially when you k…

Wow, thanks for this list of things to check out. This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping we'd be talking about and share. I downloaded and am playing with fraidyc.at and am…

Brilliant. Love it. Of course we see this everything, in automation in aviation for example, or in cars, or even reliance on urban solutions like food delivery and such. In each of…

Thank you, merged!

Indeed! This is a very pleasant site. And very happy to see no analytics/tracking. Excellent example, thanks.

There's https://wiby.me that's worked quite well for me so far, for finding very niche/specific things and when I wanted to be surprised.

Ha! (offtopic 2) How's the beer?

Indeed, I enjoy that æsthetic in certain contexts, admittedly because it makes me nostalgic more than anything else. I had to exercise restraint! :) I wanted the site to remain rea…

Indeed, my first homepage was on Homestead IIRC, using the online WYSIWYG builder. It was terribly hard to get consistent results, but it worked. And got me into learning HTML4. I …

Beaker looks very interesting indeed! Download it as I write this. Reminds me a little of what I've read about HyperCard. Looking forward to testing it. Thanks for the heads-up! Th…

Yes, I'm discovering the newer pubnix now (only knew of sdf.org previously). Looks interesting, if a little overkill for what I'm looking for. Glad they exist though. You can perha…

Excellent! Joined, thank you!

Oh I like the Hotline one especially! Easy to implement and some of the sites on there are very cool indeed. Thanks for these links.

I agree that webrings had a surprise factor, but like clicking on "surprise me" on https://wiby.me ! (Or at least, that's the closest almost-analogous thing I use today). Curlie ( …

Indeed! It's so much more interesting to learn about what people are interested in, beyond just their professional competencies. I really like that you have your guiding philosophi…

Author here. That's an interesting analogy — especially given that small book stores and libraries (to a lesser extent) still do exist, albeit in much smaller numbers, attracting f…

Thank you for this complete version. Random detail, but "Maximator" is a type of beer (a Starkbier/Doppelbock) brewed by the the very popular Augustiner brewery, not a brand in its…

Ah I'd heard about this earlier but the details are a lot of fun: "He copied the height and thickness of existing interstate shields, copied their exact typeface, and even sprayed …

Excellent! Love the idea. Just joined and set up my twtxt.txt file on a public repo on GitHub (and using the raw as my twturl). I'm getting a cert trying to interact with the regis…

Author here. Thank you. It's a bit of an experiment, glad you enjoy it.

Ah exactly what I was looking for — a quick summary of the specificities/main features of each distribution. Thank you! I'm considering running one of these in a VM to play with Li…

Then again, if your usual corner distributeur is asking you for this other PIN, authentication methods have certainly gotten a lot more creative!
