    The resurgence of a lot of pre-web protocols is interesting, but I’m not entirely sure it’s going to be a sticky thing beyond a novelty.

    Also 100% agree with the first comment that on an article about the small web half the content is YouTube videos being hilariously tone-deaf ironic. If only there were some other method of sharing videos with people. Perhaps some sort of tube that’s peer-to-peer? A PeerTube, if you will.

      If only there was a way to communicate without videos. The Mesopotamians had something like that but the technology was unfortunately lost.

        While I hate the videofication of everything as much as the next person. Looking at a regular website these days is even worse than YouTube with ads… Cookies bro? You want to subscribe? Can we send you browser messages?? Here are 10 ads that move the text around that you were just reading…

    Here’s my old homepage hosted on a tilde on the Gemini protocol

    https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/tilde.team/~smokey/

    Here’s my new homepage hosted on a different tilde I just got up and running yesterday since the old tilde maintainer stopped communication a few months ago

    https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/envs.net/~smokey/

    The new one is bare bones right now I will work on moving over some of the better logs and articles. I talk about it more in the log I wrote up last night

    If one’s interest isn’t in learning about Linux, host anything, do storytelling, run a radio station, or play Minecraft, there’s pretty much nothing to do there. 🤷‍♂

      You just mentioned what really is available nowadays. If you could mention an example of a “web interest” that’s not covered, perhaps someone could start it on the tildeverse…

        Well, from my POV, things that interest me online are Typescript, React, Html, Css topics, news, tutorials. I’m interested in hosting as well, and host websites for myself and inner family, but I don’t wanna go back to plain text. 🤷‍♂

        Topics like browsers, smartphones, pc hardware, musical instruments, virtual reality, crypto.

        Music production, FL Studio, and related music hardware.

        So, definitely news and reviews from these fields - all that is available from regular internet, but if I could get that from other sources, alternative corners of the internet that respect user privacy, I would.
