For the small web/weird web

The small web and weird web are overlapping uses of the Worldwide Web that harkens back to Web 1.0: personally-owned and non-corporate domains, text-based, and interlinked with federation or webrings.

Civility is aggressively enforced: do not be rude, troll-y, flame-bait-y, etc. If someone else is, please report, block as necessary, and move on.

Comments that cannot reasonably lead to discussion or which have no analysis ("first!", "lol", [string of emojis]) will be deleted. Please do not post them.

WHAT IS THIS?

It's my status page where I plunk down random thoughts.

From their site:

Web 1.0 Hosting - is an advanced static hosting with some predefined most necessary ready-made scripts, a smallweb project that makes it possible to access static websites from old devices such as retro computers, old operating systems, palmtops, and cellular phones as part of an initiative to save the old web and support the smallweb movement. Hosting of modern websites and the use of modern technologies are also permitted. There is also a search engine, web mail and web chat, working on both modern and legacy systems.

Not sure what to think here since this has a very neocities vibe. WHOIS says the IP is from Helsinki. It mentions abiding by EU regulations. A lot of russian language posts on the forum they've got.

The personal website is a somewhat mysterious animal that lives mostly unobserved in the jungle of the Internet. A few inexperienced Internet users who live completely within the golden-walled gardens of Facebook and Google may not even be aware of the species' existence. Other inexperienced users may consider the personal website to be either extinct, like brontosaurus, or a myth, like Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman. The truth is that many specimens exist in the wild, but in order to successfully hunt the personal website, a hunter must know the habits of this species well.

It took nearly five years into the internet’s life before anyone made a concerted effort to archive it. Much of our earliest online activity has disappeared.
