Earlier this week, a wonderful thread was created listing little visited websites, and another goon posted a site called https://wiby.com. Wiby is a search engine that specifically searched for Web 1.0 content. What's helpful, though, is that ol' Wiby here has a wonderful randomize feature. What I ask of you fellow goonkind is to boldly go where people got tired of going decades ago, click on the randomized link below, and share what you found while spelunking the intenet depths with the rest of us. https://wiby.me/surprise/ I'll start: One man's attempt to prove, once and for all that jelly can in fact be nailed to a wall A mission for CashBack from Micro$oft Vile_Nihlist666 fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Apr 15, 2024 |

https://certifiedleechhater.neocities.org/quote:Oh my goodness, I sure do despise leeches. Which [simpleton] decided "Hm, today I will fill an entire sewer system with these diminutive, crimson glute-biting [scroundrels] who will grab onto your buttocks and hold you underwater for ten [] centuries until you drown. And as well, make them never let go, and let us fill each and every nook and cranny with them" Excellent plan, jonathan, that's an excellent idea you chicken consumer. I would tell you to have a nice day in a very warm subterranean sauna but oopsie daisy, you cannot do that, because someone decided to flood the entire underground cave system and fill it to the brim with [] LEECHES. Please, hydrate yourself my absolute chum.

A Strange Aeon posted:https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/ to interpret: Linux has two main desktop "versions" that are a little different from each other, these are called Debian (or Ubuntu) and Arch. There's more to it than that but that's basics. Kubuntu is a specific version of a Debian Linux system. A Package manager is kind of like the Windows Store; every program approved for your OS is available on it. This Linux uses the program called Aptitude to install programs, from Debian Linux. GUI is a graphical interface, here meaning your Desktop, and this Linux is using the the interface made by the company KDE, but has changed the graphics to all Hannah Montana themes.

Vile_Nihlist666 posted:How about desert phone booths? What a weird place to find a J.G. Ballard quote J. G. Ballard: I don't have a PC actually, but my girlfriend is a keen PC user, a great surfer of the Internet. . . . And some of these sites she's dug up contain accidental poetry that is quite moving. I remember when she first got a PC about six or seven years ago, there were these "telephone booths in the Mojave desert" sites. I can't remember the theory of it, but there was some strangely poetic business about this telephone booth which was still functioning. I can't remember what the exact point of it was, but it became a kind of talismanic object. — J. G. Ballard: Conversations (RE/Search Publications), p. 41

Ok, these have basically all been worth while clicks, including this guy's personal page with his philosophy. https://cyberwolfman.com/ The 'front door' landing page is hella long and starts with: Straitjacket optional ;-) Abandon all hope, ye who enter here... of leaving sane! Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Just kidding! I have no intent on causing you any kind of harm, and, in fact, spend a lot of my time trying to help others and make the world a better place! :-) Just a few things you should know about me: First: The essential philosophy I try to follow is summed up rather nicely by the sign I had placed in the 3D world I made called This Is It AKA ThisIsIt, in front of the virtual campus I created in it called the Knowledge Infusion/Enhancement Matrix: If you take, but do not give, learn, but do not teach, you suck
