Content production

Cobalt: extensible open-source media downloader by Imput

FFMPEG: convert any media format to any other media format

Computer dev things!

Pika.page - Make your own weblog without code! I highly recommend learning some HTML though :)

Pixel Sea - 88x31 & 32x32 button search engine!

Neocities HTML tutorial - A collection of great resources, and a course for Neocities members. (Neocities is also a great place to explore people's personal sites!)

Activate Linux - Finally getting the important windows features ported tbh

We-are-jammin! A silly way to get your IP address with style, also really funny to prank people with

CockroachDB, use this instead of Vercel for cheap (sometimes free) Postgres databases!

Looking to explore the web a bit more? Here are a few sites I've found through my surfing! If you want to search, I also recommend Wiby or SearchMySite!

Arts

Arthur Tress: Rambles, Dreams, and Shadows - One of my favorite photographers, I'm frequently inspired by his work

Sites to get lost in...
Less for the blog content, more for the exploration.. You will find many other links to explore in these

Melon's site - There's so much to see here, I love the elevator animation, sound effects, and side pages / caverns to explore every which way

m15o's website - Lots of resources for making a simple site + Atom feed, they also created status.cafe! (one of my favorite sites to visit)

status.cafe - wowwww who saw this coming (genuinely everything Twitter couldn't have ever been and more)

Blogs to read sometimes
Discalimer: I don't know the webmasters of these sites, nor have I read all of their articles.

Ludicity's blog - Refreshingly real insights into the madness of modern development work (my favorite is "I will dropkick you if you use that spreadsheet")

Maia's Site - First she leaked the do not fly list, now what?

Maggie Appleton - Visual essays about programming, design, and anthropology. I especially recommend her article on the Dark Forest of the web.

Petra Pixel has a really good section on debugging and asking questions about code!

Retro Web

Maximum Linux magazine archive - Extremely edgy and very 1999

Obsolyte - A site about the joys of Antique Junk from the good ol' days

Digital Philosophy

The Small Website Discoverability Crisis - Discussion of search engines and human relevancy in an increasingly dense web (especially w/ AI content).

Designed to last - Websites tend to go offline, this is about the fleeting nature of the internet and the importance of reaching out. (If you want, you can save this site as a PWA and keep an offline copy forever)

Things which are silly

Linux users removing bloatware - So you have enough room to install neofetch right?

Do What The F*ck You Want to Public License - Finally a legally binding licence we can all can read and understand
