I've been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
I miss the days before search engine optimization.
Used to be able to find amazing stuff. Now, searches only get you the top paid for content.
I remember in high school I found this guy's blog that detailed how he built this amazing looking house off grid by himself (besides pouring the foundation). I dreamt of one day doing the same thing, following the plans he provided.
In college, years later, I met my fiance. Late night I shared this dream with her and she was encouraging. I went to try to find that blog, thinking I need to save that info for my future self. I couldn't find it. I searched for weeks trying to find it, but never did.
I know there are resources on building your own place, but I absolutely loved his design. It had high ceilings, wrap around porch. Used geothermal heating, solar panels.... Still makes me sad to think about.
Web rings rise up.
100% agree. I work in web and I hate the trend of SEO-bait articles. They're largely totally unhelpful, too! I bet you could still find that blog, though, with enough time -- if you remember anything about it, that is!
I remembered a lot better in college and I absolutely could not find it. I'm convinced the blog isn't hosted anymore or something
If you remember some of the name, the internet archive is your best bet.
unfortunately I do not remember the name
Key words, etc. You would be surprised.
I wonder if there is a Lemmy version of internet detectives somewhere.
SEO-bait is the result of search engines and the prioritization of long form text over relevant hits. The internet has existed before search engines, and will exist long after they're replaced with something else.
