#Dreaming of a truly delay/disruption tolerant, #decentralized, citizen owned--&-run, ad-free, spam-free, private-&-secure (by default), solar system spanning, open-&-free #internet, without limiting middle boxes

Where "social network" means #UseNet and #IRC,

The #WorldWideWeb" is mostly remembered as (1) a clear lack of imagination and (2) a cautionary tall against feature creep because in the long run bloat is deadly

The story goes that #W3C allowed #WWW to become an increasingly complex mess that in the end just could not be sustainable supported, first the community run open source browsers fell, than one by one the corporate run, until there was only one left which quickly became stagnate without competition

We learned not to make those mistakes again, newer protocols know to stay nimble, to keep it simple, to be modular, to make modules optional and to degrade gracefully when not available

It's hard to for people to understand the value in "commons" as most of the important thinking on this subject is pre-modern. Though the whole #WWW for 20 years was built as commons, the #dotcons were built on/by enclosing these commons we built, we actually did not think about this much. What we did think on this subject, was barely covered #deathcult worship... thus the mess we are in now.

Please take this moment to step back to the #openweb

About 30 minutes ago I was asked.. do you remember what .shtml was used for? - random question from a fellow geek :D and even after 20 years or so since I used it last I was able to answer intelligently :D So lemme ask my fellow older "I started in tech when the web wasn't even a twinkle in "Tim Berners-Lee's eye" types what is .shtml (no googling) and what was it used for?? #today #www #webmasters

Czy ktoś ogarnia temat ustawienia rekordu dns na strone www?
Mam domene w ovh, a hosting w mydevil.
Czytałem dokumentacje na mydevil, ale nie jestem pewien, czy dobrze rozumiem.
Zalozmy, ze mam domene XXX.YYY.pl (domena lokalna). Chcialem postawic sobie Wordpressa pod adresem blog.XXX.YYY.pl i tylko ta domene chcialem ustawic w ovh, ale z tego co ja zrozumialem, to musze przekazac konfiguracje calej domemy na dnsy mydevil.
Czy dobrze to rozumiem? A co, jeśli bym chciał sobie postawić inną stronę pod adresem np blog2.XXX.YYY.pl. Znowu bym musial przekierowywać kolejna domene na dnsy mydevil?

I'm just hearing that https://dpreview.com is being shut down on a few weeks. After 25 years just like that, Amazon pulls the plug and it's gone.
I registered for an account there July 2002 but had been browsing for at least a year before. I gained so much technical knowledge from the articles and testing they did. I gained an appreciation for the difficulty and the benefits technology brings to photography. It's a huge resource. This is a real loss. #photography #dslr #digitaltechnology #www

It occurs to me that the WayBack Machine at web.archive.org has an impressive index of the web. I wonder if there's any way that could be leveraged as a common pool resource, to help new search engines bootstrap themselves without having to build an index from scratch? Without putting undue strain on the archive.org servers of course.

@reiver I suspect this was a deliberate design decision at the time. You had #FTP and #Gopher already, why replicate their features? #WWW was focused on live documents with built-in editor. Directories are easily emulated as documents by the server.

I'm curious how the Internet would be different though…

"I remember a time... when the W3C was indeed a member organisation — but you can’t work for the Web if you don’t work with the Web. Over the years, the W3C community layered fix atop fix to progressively address the vexations and limitations of being a member organisation. Three decades in, the W3C looks a lot more like a public interest organisation financed by a generous group of donors who call themselves 'members'."

What the actual fuck?

Will someone kindly explain to "global cybersecurity leader" Palo Alto Networks that the User-Agent header is a place to put the name of your user agent? You send the name of your user agent, and you obey `robots.txt` (which they don't, of course). You DO NOT write a short essay ending with a request for people to mail you to opt-out. It is 2023 and the right way to do this was established DECADES ago.

The web in 2022

- pop-up ads taking over all screen space
- ads selling you something you already bought (Fairphone + Charger + Headphones)
- over charged pages with Ads, Videos and Subscription call to action.

You can't see it in the screenshot but the video at the top crashed after a while
The Fairphone ad is absurdly big and I have a FP4 screen size.

I mean, I dunno about Forbes but when I see this I feel Hate inside.

@matthiasott You are absolutely right. When the public "lost" (gave away) the #WWW to corporate power years (actually decades) ago I went for a long (…) break using it as a tool – until a year ago, when I discovered how (even more) limited "free" speech is IRL; back then, I felt compelled to start using #Twitter and in a way I do regret it but on the other hand I learnt some lessons, accumulated some experience and got in touch with some (nice) people that I couldn't have met in the #Fediverse.
