Exactly my sentiment. I’d like to add that I’m grieving the discoverability of all these ingenious self made often a bit unpolished experiences. Platforms come to provide a shiny space for the makers and then slowly enshittify everything snuffing out the life out of the originals. Just like Disney ;)

"enshittify" for the win

Look up Corey Doctorows post that coined it. It is beyond brilliant.

Enshittifying is deeply encoded in the mechanisms of VC money and unlimited growth.

Fair enough. In the late 90's we had one of the Sony Mavicas, and at the time I wasn't involved enough in photography to really know of much else on the market. Thinking about it now though, Compact Flash had been around since the early 90's right?

Around 94 according to Wikipedia. The floppy camera was cute because floppies were cheap and available; compact flash was really expensive for quite awhile. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/features/a-... - some of them were using full-size PCMCIA!

Oh wow, some real blasts from the past in that article!

Kinda makes me sad that I read this, saw the date and then thought "I hope this person is still alive". 24 years is a long time. I quite enjoy content like this, especially the tagline (maybe a definition of a word that I don't know?): Fluxus: "Unfettered play in search of uncharted insights."

Anybody know how to get reliable hosting after your inevitable death?

If you are just hosting text popular blockchains might be viable.
