There was a music compilation album called "Ultimate Dance" from 2004 that my family listened to. I maintain a YouTube Playlist with all the songs, some were difficult to track down, being that they are all published before 2004, and many are not of English origin.

Why would you want to lengthen a url?

A small website eatemp.com that I share some slides template for folks. It's pretty fun and panic at the same time.

I have smol web Gemini blog that I put up to practise writing regular posts in a low-pressure environment. Mostly themed on the intersection of food, technology and politics. As expected, I'm terrible at updating. I do plan to migrate to WordPress eventually.

Ooh!! My lil personal website www.wetnoodle.org I have music and art stuff I make on there as well as many links to other cool websites and resources!

I made this massive playlist which you should DEFINITELY not listen to if you're easily offended.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

this playlist

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

You guys need to fix opening YT music playlists. There's no shuffle button or anything.

I have several domain names, some have websites that I haven't touched in years, some have email that I equally haven't touched in years, and some are just ideas that I never followed through on.

I blog about network stuff, because computer networking is a passion of mine, and I get some okay views on it. Some of the posts are about pretty obscure stuff.

I've been meaning to create a website about good network design geared at home users, and how to make their home network suck less. Strategies on how to run ethernet, whether easy mode or hard mode and the benefits of each, even a subsection on options for renters to do it. Explanations on why your wifi probably sucks and how to improve the situation, etc. Wiki style.

It's a lot of writing and I know a lot about the subject matter, so each article would have a companion deep dive article so you can go deeper into why this or that affects your wifi or home network in the way that it does... Etc. But also have practical tips to avoid problems in the main article. It's an entire concept that I feel like the internet needs, but I have yet to find anyone publishing that kind of content.

Sure, you can get a bunch of technical detail on Wikipedia, but it doesn't really explain the real world consequences of things, just how they work. That's fine if you have an understanding of how things interact, but if you're new, it's just a confusing mess.

I just want to educate people into building better home networks, spending more (and less) money and why you would want to do that, where and when... How to use planning software, etc. Basically, I want to take the entirety of my wireless knowledge and put it out there for anyone to browse and learn from.

I'm a part of a small group of railroad crossing signal enthusiasts who run a site that seeks to document railroad crossing signals and their equipment across the US and elsewhere. The site's been around since the 90s and was originally made by an enthusiast named Mike Hickok. He sadly passed away in 2011, so we keep the site and forum alive in his memory. The site's Canada section hadn't been updated since 2007 until I began documenting signals myself over a year ago, and it now has over 1200 pictures from 53 different crossings that I've documented. I'm proud of that, and I hope to get some more soon.

railroad crossing signal enthusiasts

And I thought some of my interests like amateur radio and telemetry were niche...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

My interests are outdoor warning sirens, railroad crossing signals and trains. The first two are very niche indeed lol.

Arguably my YouTube channel, but I am of the belief I don't truly own it because Google is behind YouTube, and they call all the shots on the platform.

You still own the copyright on your yt videos

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

True, but Google could do a ToS change to alter this fact.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I am not a lawer, but afaik them owing the copyright on all the videoes could get them into legal trouble as they are not protected by the laws for users uploading stuff.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

True, I'm probably saying extreme stuff about this, but this stems from my distrust in Google. I don't really feel like I'm in control when it's hosted by Google. My entire YT metrics are based on how many videos of mine Google recommends to others.

my own personal website from highschool . I update it sometimes it was made using frontpage 2003

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I think the closest I could say is my definitely needs maintenance and updates Neocities page. Don't know if it would count, but I so have a Spacehey (modern day Myspace) account I haven't done anything with in a while, too.

Other than those, I don't have much that I'd consider owning.

I’ve massively slowed down and passed the reins to a new admin, but I’ve been documenting and posting the graffiti scene in my city for 12 years. Started on Tumblr, migrated to Facebook and now it’s on Instagram.

This is almost an accidental case study in what the most popular platform is at any given moment! I wonder which one is next?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

This is excellent, can you share a link?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I had a MTV Road Rules page on angelfire. Its still there, but the HTML is embarrassing. (this was when frames were becoming popular on sites. 1999ish)

My mom started blogging as a hobby when she retired, and over the past 12 years, I've been hosting and maintaining her WordPress site. She has written over 1100 posts, focusing on lifestyle, beauty, and various products reviews.

Her blog has opened many doors for her; she's been invited to exclusive events, met celebrities, and received tons of free products.

I'm incredibly proud to support her by managing this part of the "small web" for her. πŸ₯°

I'm the primary contributor of business book reviews on a few Slack instances. I post about once a week.

I took all my mom's recipes and create a web site for them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That would be awesome to look into for inspiration! Do you have a link for me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I also wanna see!

I've had a personal website since 1998.

Still kind of wild how I watched a video about three.js and just decided to make this thing.

I still operate a Gopher site. Gopher is surprisingly active in a niche kinda way.
