"On August 6, 1991 [34 years ago], the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee."

Happy birthday, web!
Not one to hold back, @pluralistic talks to @mike about “enshittification,” explaining why the internet feels broken and what we can do about it. This episode of @dot_social is sharp, funny and provocative. Recorded live at the Fediverse House at SXSW.

Kurz erklärt:
Der Thymos bezeichnet seit der griechischen Antike das Streben nach Status.
Die Timokratie bezeichnet in der Staatstheorie die Herrschaft durch Geld.
Die Thymokratie bezeichnet dagegen die Herrschaft durch das Internet.
Sie löst gerade an immer mehr Orten die Demokratie ab.

Pregunta sobre proveedor ético de Internet. He leído por aquí sobre Som Connexió. ¿Opiniones mesetarias (sobre todo, zona León) sobre esta compañía?
Se agradecerán todo tipo de comentarios.

Happy birthday, CSS!
"The first CSS specification to become an official W3C Recommendation is CSS level 1, published on 17 December 1996."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS
"CSS stood out because it was simple, especially compared to some of its earliest competitors."
This morning, I took my wife to the hospital for routine blood tests that had been scheduled for some time. Everything was going smoothly: check-in, number, waiting room. Suddenly, everything came to a halt and shut down. I was connected to the hospital’s public Wi-Fi and noticed that my connection also went down.
Having managed a couple of similar facilities, I immediately understood what had happened. I saw the staff panicking and calling the technicians, but they quickly reorganized within 10 minutes. They managed to process everyone who already had a number and then proceeded with the others in the order of their arrival. Despite the ten-minute delay (even though people started complaining right away), they were extremely efficient.
I later confirmed that the entire booking, check-in, and queue system is “in the cloud.” The hospital experienced a connectivity interruption, and all related services stopped. The staff no longer had access to anything, so a technician sent the lists to a manager via another channel, and everything resumed manually.
For years, I’ve insisted that certain things MUST be local. The healthcare facilities I manage have all the necessary systems for the operation of the facility internally, including patient records. External services like websites, emails, etc., are secondary.
Everything essential must always be accessible locally and, in special cases, it should be possible to physically access the servers and connect directly to them, bypassing any network/switch failures.
There has been only one interruption in the past, due to human error. Today, we have redundant servers (not HA on virtualizers, but two machines running the same software with replicated databases - on separate power lines) so such an issue shouldn’t happen anymore.
Not everything can be anticipated, but history is a great teacher. The Internet connection will eventually be interrupted :-)
When it comes to the health and survival of people, there are no compromises.

Happy New Year 2009, from One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age!
"The last year of GeoCities has started. The closure announcement will come on April 23, 2009."
An #ITU study https://www.itu.int/itu-d/reports/statistics/2024/11/10/ff24-internet-traffic/ reports that we transferred over 7 zettabytes of #Internet traffic in 2024. However, the authors do not describe what all those data actually were.
Therefore, I have performed extensive research to classify every byte, and I can now share this summary of the purposes of all the year's traffic.
Happy New Year!
On this day in 1983, the ARPANET network officially switched to using the TCP/IP protocol, effectively creating the Internet.
"January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other."
https://www.usg.edu/galileo/skills/unit07/internet07_02.phtml
"In Mandarin Chinese, World Wide Web is commonly translated via a phono-semantic matching to wàn wéi wǎng (万维网), which satisfies www and literally means "10,000-dimensional net", a translation that reflects the design concept and proliferation of the World Wide Web."

Speaking of online communities, is your personal website part of a webring?

"The level of creativity and versatility on display on your average Geocities site is hard to understate. Most were a cross between amateur experiments and love letters to this or that piece of pop culture. They were plastered with recipes, vacation photos, esoteric images, and tidbits of slash fiction."
