I recently came across this compost powered computer and now I can't stop thinking about it.

Their website is running on bio-energy and they include details to make your own Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) so you could do it yourself.

Inspired by the Now page concept created by @sivers, I've finally published /now on my ! bm.gy/now

Had to tweak my just a bit to accommodate this unique new post type: The latest post will always be displayed in full at /now, with past entries eventually appearing as a simple list right below it.

That was a fun technical exercise as well as a nice excuse to reflect. Highly recommended!

@gokayburuc One of the first posts in Gemini space I read was a call for the community to write more non-technical stuff on the smallweb. And that's probably very good advice (to attract more non-tech people). I published two cooking recipes so far πŸ˜… and am working on a piece about my hometown. Maybe we should apply that "don't sleep with people who do not have books at home" thing to the smallweb. πŸ˜€

My latest rewind is up, where I summarize the blog posts I wrote this month, recommend some entertainment titles worth checking out (including The Pitt and The Studio, among others), and share a few interesting links.

@paul @servo

I'm hoping that servo becomes mature, and a viable replacement soon.

I don't see a whole lot of other options, other than to just embrace the #smolweb and use #dillo.

Looks like Bing's blocking all #neocities and its hosted sites from their search engine. This means downstream search sites using the same engine (duckduckgo) will no longer show neocities hosted results as well.

Can't say I'm surprised, but what gives? Don't tell me this is some weird LLM related shenanigans again.

Rocking the Web Bloat: Modern Gopher, Gemini and the Small Internet (2022)

The web is a mess, bloated with data-gathering trackers, predatory UX, massive resource loads, and it is absorbing everything it touches. The Small Internet is a counter-cultural movement to wrangle things back under control via minimalism, hands-on participation, and good old fashioned conversation. At its heart are technologies like the venerable Gopher protocol or the new Gemini protocol offering a refuge and a place to dream of a better future.

Join me and be reintroduced to Gopher in 2021 and learn what this old friend has to offer us in a world full of web services and advertising bombardment. We will also explore the new Gemini protocol and how it differs from Gopher and HTTP.

We will explore the protocols themselves, their history, and what the modern ecosystems are like. I will briefly review the technical details of implementing servers or clients of your own, and how to author content as a user. Discussion will cover limitations, grey-areas, and trade-offs in exchange for speed and simplicity.

Through these alternative protocols we’ll see the small internet in action.

looking at our local town web page this morning it struck me as made for people who know nothing about the internet but have a big budget to spend. Oh and it runs on wordpress obviously with no rss feed. Aspirin isn't provided.

New blog post is up:

For those times when you want or need to do things differently on Linux depending on which network (particularly wired network, because this is one situation where WiFi is actually easier) the computer is connected to.
