if you like hand-written HTML and the simplest of page composition I can't recommend enough net.art theorist Olia Lialina's "Prof. Dr. Style" as a search term
[What] message is delivered by classic Prof. Dr. pages, looking primitive and all the same? Independence. Inside academic circles, a page made in Prof. Dr. Style shows off distance from the institution's corporate identity and its Content or Knowledge Management systems, which is not an easy status to achieve. Outside of academia, such pages are made by people who know everything about the internet, but are too cool to mess with web design.

contemporary-home-computing.orgProf. Dr. StyleIt is difficult to estimate how many web pages created in 1993-1994 made it into the new millenium in their premordial way. If you manage to find something that was put online that time, it would in the best case display a 1995-1996 skin. But there is a way to find pages that live for ever in 1993.

One good feature #Marginalia has is that it tells you before hand about "anti features" of a website.

Like in the attached screenshot, this website has got Tracking, Javascript and Ads.

It also has features to remove results which have got ads or Javascript. These features come very handy in the "modern" world wide web.

I really appreciate the developer's efforts. I hope #FOSS #SearchEngines could one day excel. And I hope support for languages other than English will be added soon enough.

Here's the thing: marginalia-search.com/

It's Friday so as told by the prophecy I return with Scraps, my little human-curated #roundup of links to some great #blog posts and other interesting content. The #indieweb, the #humanweb and the #infosec & #sysadmin worlds collide in this week's Scraps: fyr.io/scrap/2025-07-25

We're six (6) editions deep with no signs of slowing down. Take a look if you wish. You might find something you like!

#FilosofiaDeBotequim #IndieWeb #Blogues

Ás vezes, uma conversa em blogues lembra um jogo de xadrez por correspondência!

Não há pressa! E o tempo longo (comparado com o frenesi de mídias sociais) ajuda a decantar as ideias.

Um exemplo é essa conversa que só agora (quase 6 meses depois) eu tive acesso a resposta: masdivago.cc/2024/11/19/fetich…

I'm an early bird, but as of tomorrow I am on Holidays and will be camping (lux camping) with my family for a week, so I need to post now or never:

Here is my call for the IndieWeb Blog Carnival submission for August!
