zfetch: gopher, gemini and http from the terminal, written in Zig. Gemtext and gophermaps come out rendered, and HTML comes out as Markdown. Run it with a URL and it prints the page and exits. Or open the interactive mode and stay a while, with bookmarks and history. 1/2

Meet bimbooo! 🐘 It started as a tiny pastebin, but I got a little carried away, hehe. Now you can share snippets, write Markdown pages, or even build your own little HTML website with a personal subdomain. 1/2

It's free, a bit weird, and very much a labor of love. No big ambitions, just another small corner of the internet. Come say hello: https://bimb.ooo #SmallWeb #IndieWeb #WebDev #FreeWeb 2/2

Looks like I might have the whole week off... Time to get some rest... until further orders! 🫡

The first piece of art generated by the RUNV engine: a test gradient in 80 columns, 16 VGA colors, ░▒▓ shading, and Floyd–Steinberg dithering (2× PNG). Still just the core engine, with no effects or presets yet.

We've been rebuilding runv.club! It's not quite open to the public yet, but things are coming along really nicely. Our first pubnix ran for two years, with around 30 members. Everything was free, and most of the software was developed by our own little team. 1/2

After a lot of time, work, and dedication, we've translated much of it into English, and we're almost ready to welcome people from around the world. Pretty excited to see where this next chapter takes us! :) https://runv.club #Pubnix #SmallWeb #FreeInternet 2/2

What if the entire history of computing had a Git log? From Turing's universal machine in 1936 to Linux, the birth of the Web, artificial intelligence, and today's tech news. 1/3

earthputer tells that story, one commit at a time. Real milestones, historical branches, familiar Git commands, and sources behind every entry. A little journey through nearly 90 years of computing history, with a rather geeky twist. https://earth.pablomurad.com 2/3

Unfortunately, I'm taking my CMS out of public view for a while. I need to run some experiments that might take some time, and I won't have time to keep up with maintenance. =(

someone asked me what the difference between nginx and apache is. my answer was pretty simple: nginx starts small, and you build it up as you need. apache starts big, and you strip it down to what you need. 1/2

not entirely accurate technically, but a pretty good way to describe their philosophies, haha. 2/2

My tacky themes in a repo. 41 of them, plain HTML and CSS, based on real websites from 2002 to 2009: studio portfolios, splash pages, agencies that shipped one screen and called it a site. 1/2

Something I keep forgetting to mention: theraven.my answers curl. curl theraven.my You get the square drawn in braille, the newest posts and the command to open each one. Every house has its own drawing too, so curl theraven.my/pablo shows mine. 1/2

Posts wrap at 72 columns, and links wait at the bottom with numbers, like in Lynx. Add ?plain if your terminal doesn't like colors. Moving in still takes one email. #curl #terminal #smallweb #indieweb 2/2

A small map of the things I keep building: https://sussurra.me/ sussurra is Portuguese for "it whispers". It's one HTML file I edit by hand, with no tracking and no search box. You click around and get a little lost. 1/2

64 projects so far: a BBS you reach over SSH, a MUD that only answers on telnet, a photolog that wrecks every photo on upload, a radio of Myspace songs nobody remembers, chess with emoji pieces. If you keep a page like this, send me the link. #smallweb #indieweb 2/2

indiecheck just got an update. Point it at a page and it lists the microformats, rel=me links, IndieWeb endpoints and meta tags it finds, then tells you what to fix, with the HTML to fix it. 1/2

New: robots.txt and sitemap checks, https and canonical-host checks, fixes written for WordPress, Hugo and Eleventy, a Markdown report, and fail=errors for CI. https://indie.pablomurad.com #IndieWeb #microformats #Webmention #SmallWeb #WebDev 2/2

I hoard tiled backgrounds from the old web, so I put the pile online: 13,807 tiles on eight shelves, from Dusk Cabinet to Ember Script. Click a tile and the page wears it. Save the ones you like and use them on your own site. A pile, not a museum. No guestbook. https://gc.pablomurad.com 1/2
