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 create a quick form to gather responses when organisi

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 know it's simulation of sorts). Thanks for creating

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 so far really liking the idea -- the whole idea made m

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 these cases, things become more convenient/less comple

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.

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 readable and accessible in text mode/lynx/screen read

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 don't think they're too common now — it's usu

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! There are so many links to follow up on here in this thr

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 perhaps try a week of _mostly_ limiting yourself to tho

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 ( https://curlie.org/

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 philosophies, hobbies, languages and even Hogwarts house on your

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 fewer patrons. A lot of web traffic today transits throu

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 itself. In fact, it's a Bavarian tradition

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 his sign with a thin glaze of overspray of gray ho

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 registry, but might be something on my end. Great job! Hopef

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 Linux again. The last time was elementary OS on a Ch

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

It is indeed interesting. I'd say that it has to do with: - complex structures (not necessarily always 4/4 or 3/4) - variations in dynamic range (loud parts vs. quiet parts) - storytelling / philosophical themes (the hum

I missed it too. So I went ahead and got an old, refurbished harman/kardon cassette deck after months of research about different cassette and deck varieties. Learnt about type 1 (ferric), type 2 (chromium dioxide) and type 4 (metal) c

Oh, I don't think I alluded to linking the control sticks... perhaps you intended to respond to another comment? As for the dual input thing, there are 6 instances of the the warning. We can't really know what the pilots were thin
