Hi folks, I'm so dang tired of the internet as it currently is. The idea of a small web, personal websites, returning to what the internet was intended to be sounds incredibly exciting to me and I'd like to invest in that... but I don't really know where to start? So much of what I read seems to have a ton of coding jargon. I clicked on Small Web 101 and it was a masterlist of somewhat confusing links.

The most coding I've done was on Khan Academy as a teenager or setting up an automatic macro to run the coliseum for me in Flight Rising. I pirate basically everything I watch but I've only torrented one or two things and don't really grasp how that works. I don't really know anything about my laptop but I have a vague idea that I should switch to Linux and I replaced the screen once.

What's step one for a wannabe Small Web enthusiast?

Get kagi!!!

Then my steps to enjoying computing again:

  1. Get Linux. Windows is shit and destroys joy.
  2. Get mullvad VPN
  3. Use a private DNS that blocks trackers and ads. Next DNS has them or mullvad has free ones to use.
  4. Dont use any of the bug 4 corpo slop sites
  5. Use lots of bookmarks, and web rings!!

Also geocities
