Kevin Boone: The “small web” is bigger than you might think

The small web is growing, and getting more active. Good news.

A lovely, human-made, blog, containing lovely images of old things. I can also recommend the social media "rant", it's soothing. There's also a beginner's guide to Bayesian statistics using horse-racing as its example. Fun.

Kevin Boone: Why the fascination with retrocomputing?

Why do so many IT professionals like to tinker with vintage computers and software?

TIL there's a smolweb theme for hugo (static site generator for websites).

I'm going to play around with it.

I don't need javascript, external fonts and eleventy cookie banners because of regulations.

Just a simple statically linked website of linked texts and pure HTML and CSS.

@kev Thanks for the work supporting Subfolder Hosting in https://pureblog.org/ v.1.9.0. I had figured out my own way to do it, but it certainly wasn't as clean as yours nor future version compatible. Will be donating.

All my clients wanted a carousel, now it's an AI chatbot!

It always starts the same way. The client pulls out their phone mid-meeting, navigates to a competitor's website, and holds the screen up like evidence.

"You see? They have one of those."

A little bubble. Bottom right corner. Blinking...

Real techies look away now. For a few years I've had a blog on a free Weebly account, mostly to recount my boating trials and tribulations on the canals in England & Wales. But inspired by posts about 'Smolweb' I decided to blog like it's 1989. The result is here: http://seren-boat.uk

Floating a site to the middle looks nice, but it's not worth it.

Interacting with #miniflux with #w3m is SO darn satisfying. #SmolWeb#microblogging #MicroToot:       68 characters

A #gopher Gophernicus server containing a pdf file will automatically attribute the 'd' or document selector, which isn't in the 1973 rfc but added later, like so many others.

Now run the Lagrange Android client: it hasn't a clue what to do with the 'd' selector. Same for ';' the video file selector.

As much as I love gopher, the absurdity of selectors is now pissing me off.

So #smolweb or #gemini or nothing?
