Hi all - just wanted to introduce https://squeak.solarcene.community

I've been working on a new project recently to build a #solarpowered #community web server inspired by https://compost.party

If you would like some free hosting for a static website perhaps to document your projects or host your digital #zine then you are very welcome. The server has #geocities vibes as each user gets a public_html folder. You'll get ssh access and the server has #Hugo installed to help make nice static websites. The goal will be to have 100% uptime, due to its very low power consumption it does not require the power saving I use for the solarcene.community mastodon server.

Probably the key thing is that a project should have a mascot and in this case the server is called Squeak and it's an awesome bat! Squeak was designed by @alipunk (check out her website for more of her work).

Just get in touch if you would like to have a small website!

OpenChaos.dev is the pinnacle of open-source absurdity, where chaos reigns supreme and contributors compete for the most pointless yet hilarious #PRs. From rewriting everything in #Rust to adding a #GeoCities revival mode 🌐, it's a circus of code chaos 🤡. And yes, someone actually added a dickbutt 🐴🎉— because, of course, they did.

Ah, the early 00s, when video game websites were a glorious mess of seizure-inducing Flash animations and "cutting-edge" design that made #Geocities look like high art 🎨💾. Who needs intuitive navigation when you can have spinning 3D logos and background music that sounds like a dial-up modem remix? 🎮📟 #NostalgiaOverload

🎉 Wow! A 90s throwback to when web design was just a parade of spinning GIFs and Comic Sans! Now you too can recreate the nostalgia of #Geocities with a daunting 5MB file size limit—perfect for your low-res cat pics. 🚀 And remember folks, nothing screams modern tech like an "Under Construction" banner. 😂

"Geocities [which launched in November 1994] has a fascinating history. A roaring beginning, a dramatic climax, the most tragic of endings, and just a sprinkle of hope right at the end."

Glad it still happens that you stumble upon proper #weird pages on the #www that feel as inspiring as browsing surrealist film stills on #tumblr back in the day:

Exercising a bit of early-2000s #web design freedom by whipping up a little page to invite friends to play my new #pinball machine when it finally arrives. It's fun not using even the simplest build step and just manually writing #HTML and #css

I can see where things would get cumbersome if I were trying to maintain consistency across many pages, but having no build tools to wrestle with is a joy.

Found in my RSS feeds: GeoCities.live. Turn any Web pages into a 1990s GeoCities blink fest. Lots of fun.

I was reading a story today about #theoldnet and how if you leave an “&” symbol at the end of an #email , it means you want the recipient to reply back. Does anyone remember this or still do this today? I don’t recall that being a thing or maybe it was and I didn’t notice. Gonna tag below with adjacent words in hopes of response.

Today I ran across @ricmac and his new, truly expansive piece on the history of (the admittedly centralized) GeoCities and its origins.

I had a GeoCities site myself in the 90s (that is sadly lost to time now), and I didn't know all this wild history Richard dug up for this.

A must-read if you're into the whole 90s early web thing: https://cybercultural.com/p/geocities-1995

Thank you for the optimistic PoV on the entrance of others to the #DeSoc of the Fediverse. It is an optimism that I share - especially with Matthias' announcement just an hour ago that his team behind the development of the #WordPress ActivityPub plugin has just released version 2.0.0 - considering the enormous footprint of WordPress installations across the entire Internet belonging to both common, everyday individuals and companies alike, of every shape and size, this is HUGE news.

It instantly, overnight, positions common folks and businesses to leap into the freedoms afforded them by the existing, privacy respecting, #FOSS based Fediverse that hitherto was... well, a bit of a leap for them psychologically. But now they have a familiar platform with which to begin a journey through the minefields of the deprecated, privacy mining, monolithic silos; its proprietors programming their masses of #subjugated_chattel into livestock holding pens, where they are weighed, measured, packaged, placed into inventory, and sold.

That does raise the issue of an error in your assertions however. You mentioned, "instances in Meta's fediverses and on Bluesky".

The truth however, the reality, is that each are merely a single instance - One big monolithic silo, as described above, with the same incentives of monetization through privacy mining techniques that have made them the dreadnoughts that they are; at least in the case of #Meta (Threads).

Bluesky is of that vertically scaling market as well, but much smaller than the #Faceplant and #InstaSPAM engines operated by Meta, and now their new spearhead into the DeSoc space occupied by ActivityPub and other decentralized or federated protocol based, horizontally scaling instances.

#Bluesky hasn't actually shown their hand yet to the general public, but already, they've disenfranchised (fired) much of their talent; some, actually principal architects of their monolith who were frustrated and disillusioned with the direction Jay has been taking the company - moving further and further away from the disowned public community they spawned, organized, and abandoned following the initial trials and tests of the open source preview version of what became #ATP protocol (ATX).

Even Jack has moved on and embraced yet another horizontally scaling protocol in the DeSoc space, #nostr, and it's already bridged and interoperating flawlessly with the ActivityPub powered portion of the Fediverse, which in turn interoperates with instances running other protocols such as #Nomad, #OStatus, #Streams, #Diaspora, and #ZOT... all of them part of the Fediverse.

Many of the extant #ActivityPub powered instances in the Fediverse merely need to install these capabilities with a couple of clicks to enable this interoperability, while others bridge the divide through infrastructure developed and deployed over the past year or so.

What will be Meta's use case here for their business product?

That's the main question I think folks need to address - not punish the good people on the so-called evil side of the divide, the hitherto subjugated chattel that populate Marks so-called Metaverse or whatever he thinks he can compel people to adopt and endure. The point is, childish, domain level blocking by juvenile minds operating ActivityPub powered #Fediverse server instances only serves to paint themselves (and the users who have to date trusted those admins with being told what they can and cannot see and do) into a corner where they effectively cancel themselves, and find that their users have migrated to other spaces... maybe WordPress, where they truly control their own destiny in the DeSoc space and can now fully participate and engage with others - but on their own terms, not someone else's.

And that, I believe, is what the whole thing has always been about, going back as far as #AngelFire and #GeoCities :)

I do agree with you that we should indeed embrace these common, everyday individuals who, through their programmed ignorance, are mostly clueless as to exactly what the Fediverse is, and more importantly, has always promised for them. This is an opportunity, like Steve Austin, (the Six Million Dollar Man): "We can rebuild them, we have the technology, we can make them better, stronger, faster..."

One more thing I should correct you on, the Fediverse is an internetwork of networks, on the Internet - there are no fediverses, Fediverse is itself a plurality, but your intent wasn't lost on me.

Great article, I enjoyed the read and most of all, your optimistically tempered intent. Thanks for sharing and I hope to see much more from you in the future!

Erinnert Ihr Euch noch an das #Usenet, #Mailinglisten, #IRC, #YahooGroups, #GoogleGroups, #GeoCities oder Firmen wie #AlteVista oder #Lycos?

Ähnlich wird es auch #Twitter ergehen. Selbst wenn es irgendwo noch ein Nischendasein fristen wird, die große Zeit von Twitter - und auch von #Facebook - ist vorbei.

For anyone into #web #nostalgia who possibly remembers how much fun places like #Geocities and #Angelfire and #LiveJournal were, here's Cameron's World.

Found via the equally fun https://makefrontendshitagain.party/ which contains loads of links to similar websites embracing the joy of the World Wide Web of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Nel nuovo post per #segnalerumore, ragiono un po' sulle tecniche di trasloco informatico, dal passato di #geocities fino al presente di #mastodon.

@brewsterkahle The #InternetArchive is the most important site on the Internet. They have been saving almost every webpage since the 90s to preserve the history of the web. Remember #Angelfire? #Geocities? They do.

And they have much more. Millions of old videos, including the #PrelingerArchive of old PSAs and industrial films. The "Duck and Cover" ads from the 50s are my favorite, with a cartoon turtle who teaches kids how to hide under their desk in a nuclear attack.

They have every book scanned by the #Gutenberg Project. They have 16,000 #GratefulDead shows donated by the band. They have in-browser #emulation of game systems from the #Atari2600 to the #Playstation, and computers like the #C64, #AppleII, and 80s #Mac. They even have a growing library of #Elon's deleted tweets, preserved for history.

An easy way to donate: I set them up as my #Amazon Smile charity at smile.amazon.com. Now when I buy anything, Amazon donates 0.5% of my purchase to them.

Donate! History will thank you.

@MarchViolet @alison I had both. I will age myself, I was in college and was learning early html on my own for fun and had an #angelfire page. So when in my graphic design class we did a unit on web stuff, I made a #geocities page too. There was another one pre geocities that I can't remember the name of too.

I also had a pre #yahoo buyout #rocketmail email address. 👴
