Fun find: marginalia-search.com/
it's a search engine designed to find niche things rather than what's most popular
* has filters for blogs, forums, smallweb, and it doesnt hide stuff just for being old
* really good for finding community made stuff and hobbyist stuff
* prioritises non commercial content
It's really a different use case entirely to things like google, but has so much more interesting content not just generic seo made articles

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”

Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.

If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?

(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

just found a treasure trove of extremely obscure BBS history stashed away on IA

thank you hard-working book scanners for preserving this rarity.

if you're familiar with BBSing in the 90s, you'll remember just how fast the vast majority of boards disappeared in 1995. it went from multinode 24/7 bbses to disconnected phone numbers in just a few months

this book accounts for the very small number of BBSes that made the transition from telco-only to "telBBS" or telnettable/web-accessible boards

3/4 of the book is a carefully curated list of 500 boards with screenshots of their homepages and bbs login/title screens. most importantly, the URLs of these boards is preserved so we have a chance to look them up on WBM some day.

The front cover of the book Internet BBSs: A Guided Tour, by Richard Scott Mark.
A screenshot of two pages from the book. Each page shows a screenshot of a BBS's homepage, or its login screen with ANSI graphics. Four boards are shown: Anarchy-X, The Annex!, AOP BBS and AppleWize OnLine.
The rear cover of Internet BBSs: A Guided Tour by Richard Scott Mark. It reads: . so you use the Internet. You’ve surfed some Web sites and maybe sent e-mail. But, chances are, you’ve overlooked the rich and really personal dimension of the Internet represented by the explosive growth of Internet BBSs. That’s because up till now BBS publications were limited in scope to the old era of dial-up BBSs. Until recently the world of BBSs was geographically compartmentalized: in practical terms only the BBSs within a local telephone call were accessible. Now, the Internet has made all Internet BBSs accessible to anyone in the world. Internet BBSs: A Guided Tour provides in-depth coverage of this new world of true BBSs now available world-wide. It is a valuable resource for anyone currently using the Internet. Users of the major on-line service forums and chat groups should also read it to find out how they can access a much richer variety of BBSs at less cost.

im looking for a #blog system for my personal website. preferably php that is very basic and doesnt use lot of javascript or external libraries, im trying to keep it as lightweight as possible, trying to avoid external bloated libraries that arenet needed. Ideally I should just write something but I dont feel the need to reinvent the wheel. Plus theres the time factor. I've seen a couple but just wanted other peopels recommendations to try as well.

New Kitten release

• Now leaves <style> tags within <template> tags alone when collating and normalising the CSS on a page so as not to interfere with scoped styles in declarative shadow DOM.

(Kitten’s Streaming HTML workflow¹ – which uses htmx and WebSockets under the hood – combined with built-in support for slots, etc., in Kitten components² means the use of declarative shadow DOM is mostly useful if you want scoped styles. Ideally, of course, use classes to scope styles to your components and be specific in your CSS selectors in general so as not to pollute elements in your components. Although that’s a bit like saying you should floss everyday. Yeah, we all know we should…) :)

Update: All that said, I’d highly recommend you don’t use Shadow DOM in your Kitten apps. For one thing, htmx’s WebSocket extension doesn’t seem to play well with it. And for another, you really don’t need it and definitely not just to get scoped CSS.

Enjoy!

New Kitten release

• Socket routes now have precendence in the router.

This stops wildcard page routes from capturing the default socket routes that Kitten creates to enable the Streaming HTML workflow.

e.g., Previously, the following route:

/videos/index_[slug].page.js

Could not connect to its default socket (/videos/default.socket) because default.socket would be captured by the [slug] parameter.

Now, it will work as intended as the /videos/default.socket (a socket route) has precendence over index_[slug].page.js (a page route).

Enjoy!

Kagi HQ

We are committed to surfacing content from the Small Web in our search results, which makes Kagi uniquely different to any other search engine out there.

It is not only part of our mission to humanize the web but we genuinely feel that this improves the quality of search results and discoverability of high quality, relevant content (created by humans!)

Illustration of a cheerful cartoon dog with a black nose and floppy ears, sitting in a pile of tennis balls. Above the dog are two overlapping browser windows labeled "BLOG." The left window has a blue header and text content, while the right window has a yellow header and features an image of a birthday cake with candles. The background includes small clouds on a light gray backdrop.

I've been writing a new personal site from scratch. It's been a while since I've done a site design entirely by hand, without any frameworks to lean on.

It's been a lot of fun, and I've been honing my html5 and css3 skills - trying to do everything the *right* way. Making use of some of the more esoteric CSS properties I'd never bothered with before (like margin-inline or padding-block) .

I've made all the graphics myself using #svg (thanks #inkscape!).

I'm focusing on having a *microscopic* footprint, with minimum connections (one markup, one stylesheet).

What I absolutely adore about the indie/ personal/ small web: Everybody's approach is very different. There are super modern looking websites and there are the ones who seem to come straight out of the 1990's/ early 2000's. There are ones that are specially made to work on the oldest computers. There are ones with and ones without Java Script. Ones made by pro web devs and ones made my people who are just starting to learn the basics. There are people who've been there from the beginning and those who are very new. And everything in between. People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
In visiting personal websites you are seeing and experiencing the diversity of the world. And it's glorious!
