Discover the IndieWeb, one blog post at a time. (indieblog.page)
 

Way, way back when the internet was still being charted as if it was some mysterious country, one of my favorite things to do was just to spend a solid chunk of time on StumbleUpon -- bouncing from random website to random website. It was such a useful tool for just finding niche sites, some of which I still use to this day.

This site will send you to a random IndieWeb site and even has RSS feeds to send a set amount of random blog entries to your feed. Glad that there's still sites like this out there in the ether!

Which VPN Providers Really Take Privacy Seriously in 2023? * TorrentFreak in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Yeah, I would still be using mullvad if they hadn't removed port forwarding -- it's too damn bad but I get why they needed it. Switched to Proton but I imagine they'll run into the same issue down the road and will need to find a more permanent solution.

I hope you all have a great day. in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

Anecdotal post about random cable experience in c/cordcutters@infosec.pub

I did not know that was a show and now I can not un-know it lol. Feel like that is going to be a risky search at 1 in the morning.

With the decline of twitter and reddit, it's time to take a look at RSS again if you haven't already. in c/technology@beehaw.org

I use Miniflux and I've actually had luck just putting the channel url like youtube[.]com/channel/CHANNEL_NAME_HERE and the rss feed populates from there!

DIY Filter for the upcoming fire season (dynomight.net)

I came across this blog post -- considering that fire season is coming up (or already started in some places) and the PNW's track record, figured some folks may find this useful.

This is a pretty cheap air filter that is easy to construct with minimal tools and works better than putting filters onto a box fan.

Seriously! I ended up blocking reddit and its subdomains with my pihole so that I'd stop clicking on things from google searches.
