I get paid a lot of money for it, so yes.

As far as we know stupidity isn't a primary cause, and local authorities are also probably competent at scale.

On the other hand this is Spain we're talking about, the expectations of people giving a fuck about anything are slightly lower than average.

Is there a place/system for discovering or aggregating personal websites like this? Remember old school "directory" sites and tools like del.icio.us? There were awesome compared to being at the mercy of google.

I just have bookmarks to directory sites, as you say, like https://ooh.directory/

This is awesome, I like it.

I've been into the "personal website" world as well recently, and one thing I've noticed is a lot of personal websites end up linking to each other, or have a "Blogroll" [0]. This pretty much acts as an aggregator to point you to other sites that might be similar to the author's.

Personally, I've just been keeping a running list in my notes for cool personal sites I find / subscribing to the RSS feed if it has one, mostly discovered from exploring the interlinking web in this space.

+1 to this! If it doesn't exist already, what would it look like?

The simple solution could be another search index that hasn't been commoditized like Google has, but I wonder if a manual curation approach might lead to higher quality? Something along the lines of a weekly digest of personal sites that are interesting/unique/fun. Process could look like:

  1. Users submit their personal sites for review, accompanied by some blurb/tags. Essentially something to make the cost of submission > 0.

  2. Site admin reviews submissions once a week and either select their top X favorite, or just remove any low quality/slop submissions and shares the rest.

I suppose this approach depends on the judgement of whoever does the curating, but I feel like that's not necessarily a worse alternative to the opaque algorithms we deal with today.

Never mind, sounds like https://ooh.directory/ that listenfaster shared is essentially this!

I like it because the submissions are easy and I think curated / QC’d. I thought Kagi was going to do more with https://kagi.com/smallweb but it’s kind of like going to https://wiby.me/ and hitting “surprise me”, which everyone should do at least once a day.

Remember StumbleUpon?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

Definitely some level of human curation... that's what made del.icio.us so good IMHO. You knew the links posted had a level of (probably nerdy) oversight.

The iPad (pro in particular) is an incredible platform for music production and lots of other "pro" tasks. People mostly use them in conjunction with other machines.

I live in Ireland and I know at least 100 people who have had covid, including my wife, father, mother and 2 sisters.

Omicron is prevalent here right now.

I think you know more people who have had it than I know in total.

Everyone knows everyone in Ireland. It's a blessing and a curse.

My sister recently had her PCR anniversary of 100 tests. OTOH, I’m at 2 quick tests and one PCR, but I work from home and only leave for stores.

Not sure about the under-tested in general, all the public testing stations were always super busy.

I didn't know that. Is that because of access to PCR testing services or a "head in the sand" attitude?

We're in a situation now where our PCR test system has pretty much fallen apart.

The placecard generator is brilliant. Well done you.

This post is terrible.

You're talking about *Jamstack* like it's some kind of proprietary framework or platform.

It's a methodology for building websites in a particular way using an enormously diverse set of tools and platforms. Comparing it to GWT is not correct.

Based on traffic to the site over a period of time, like pretty much every other 'Most Popular' algo.

You can completely use a linear ratio. Google any world class chef's recommendations, they will all recommend a fixed ratio e.g.:

https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-cook-the-perfect...

Rice cooker instructions also use a liner ratio.

Cooking rice isn't rocket science.
