I was looking for a good small web source to link to April showers bring May flowers for yesterday’s New Leaf Journal article on a brave tulip in Red Hook. I turned to Marginalia Search and Mojeek for the task. On Marginalia, I found a link to a link to a May 10, 1998 blog post by Michael Rawdon titled May FlowersIt did include the adage. I did not ultimately use it in my article. However, a passage unrelated to spring and flowers caught my attention:

Oh, and I ordered my new G3 Macintosh from The Apple Store. They say it could be up to 3 weeks before it arrives due to “time for assembly”, but seeing as it’s a standard model minus the internal modem, I’m betting it will arrive sooner.

Michael Rawdon (May 10, 1998)

While I never had a Mac of any kind (lest we count my temporary custody of Victor V. Gurbo’s 2007 MacBook), the passage caught my attention because I wrote about one Macintosh G3 just over a year ago. In Power Macintosh G3 in Nana Anime, I used a reverse image search to identify a desktop computer in a 2006 anime I was watching at the time. Of course, the G3 I wrote about was first released on January 5, 1999, so Mr. Rawdon must have ordered the model before the one I covered.

[Note] Waiting For a G3 Macintosh in 1998

While looking for sources for April showers bring May flowers, I happened across a 1998 diary entry about waiting for a Macintosh G3 order.

@abucci time for web sites to bring back browser wars era badges, but instead of saying "Best viewed with Netscape Navigator" it might say "Best found with Duck Duck Go".... Oh wait, they have an AI "assist" right at the top of their page too. Hmm

"Best found with ${NON_AI_SEARCH_ENGINE}" where NON_AI_SEARCH_ENGINE is one of Start page, Searx, Qwant, Marginalia, Mwmbl...

Marginalia Search receives second nlnet grant

I’m happy and grateful to announce that the Marginalia Search project has been accepted for a second nlnet grant. All the details are not yet finalized, but tentatively the grant will go toward addressing most of the items in the project roadmap for 2025. I’ve already been working full time on the project since summer 2023, and this grant secures additional development time, and extends the runway to a comfortable degree.

Marginalia Search is a digital tool that is actually, deeply useful and necessary. It’s also super cool to explore.

Procrastination warning!

I am pleased to discover that the very first result when you search Cassette Beasts on Marginalia Search is my Cassette Beasts shrine. Unfortunately, the result links to my website's original host on Neocities with its Neocities subdomain, instead of the custom domain leilukin.com.

My website, including the Cassette Beasts shrine, was originally hosted on Neocities, but it has migrated from Neocities since I registered a custom domain, leilukin.com, for it. I have set it up that visiting leilukin.neocities.org will redirect you to leilukin.com.

This prompted me to submit leilukin.com to be crawled by Marginalia Search.

The Yak Shave

I set out a little over a week ago to add a service registry to Marginalia Search, primarily to reduce its dependence on docker. I would like it to be able to run on bare metal as well, which poses a problem since configuring the application manually is a bit of a headache with dozens of ports that need to be set up. It would also be desirable to be able to run multiple instances of important services in order elliminate downtime during upgrades.
