Wiby

I am a search engine for older style pages, lightweight and based on a subject of interest. I am trying to create a web more reminiscent of the early internet.

Visited @vcfederation in Montreal today. So many amazing computers to see and interesting presentations as well.

@Pinecone_64 Glad you enjoy it. I'm trying to add a lot more for the random feature as so many pages have died. Recovered a bunch of geocities sites for it last night also.

Started hosting hundreds of old web pages on an unofficial domain for archival purposes, will add more to it over time. Many gems to bring back. They were submitted to Wiby over the years and I hate to lose them.

[Wiby @wibyweb]

Thousands of dead pages over the years. Many of them pure gold lost to time. Cant rely on archives. Going to have to host them myself.

[Wiby @wibyweb]

@WiDxEjmnsGdA8V3 It is very much a human effort. Wiby relies on anonymous people to submit pages that meet the criteria. Hyperlinks on those pages are also crawled periodically but I don't let the crawler stray too far away.

Noticed the Copilot icon on my task bar and tried making some AI art.

@tecnolocuras1 That is a very comprehensive review. Much appreciated!

@MarginaliaNu For me it was very important that they had the secret password button for my memos.

As a kid I would obsess over these "Data Bank" organizers while looking at catalogs in the mail. Here is a great website with a large collection of them. https://t.co/XFWcM2OhVt

@DOGEPUMPCOIN Oh I see now, 'surprise me' was down.

If you ever want to feel super l33t while SSHing your servers, listen to this in the background: https://t.co/zdGLAP0Ip0

@DOGEPUMPCOIN Don't think so! Might have been a momentary outage.

[Wiby @wibyweb]

@MarginaliaNu Wow what an absolute unit.

[Wiby @wibyweb]

@MarginaliaNu Great accomplishment! Congrats!

@gitar_gy If you want, send me it through the /feedback/ form and I'll look into it. A lot of IP's have been banned that are being used by a nasty botnet.

[Wiby @wibyweb]

@_ally_faye How about now? (made some firewall changes).

[Wiby @wibyweb]

@_ally_faye Its working, are you still unable to get on?

[Wiby @wibyweb]
