Fresh dump of interesting and/or useful web links I've found recently. Full link stash here.
This week: That's right, I changed the name of this dumping of links. "Link stash" lost its appeal. "Bukmarks" kept springing to mind, and as a user of the buku CLI tool to capture these links, and a fellow member of the BUKMARK.CLUB webring, it just kinda makes sense. So here we are.
355. GemCities
Like GeoCities and Neocities, but for the gemini protocol. Love the "cities" familiarity across protocols. Fairly new service from CalvusRex. Looks like a great entry-level hosting service for your first gemini capsule, written by someone with a genuine passion for this stuff.

354. Long Now
A bunch of talks, and digital and printed articles on all things long-term thinking, systems thinking, civilisation, historical learnings, ways forward. Big and important ideas and conversations.
TAGS: ,
353. RawWeb
Search engine with results from personal websites. Sources from some popular smaller web directories and aggregates, as well as user-submitted. Interface is tight.

A style guide for Naty's BurgeonLab site, which is pretty fine looking. Actually a great way to test your styling and consistency of the site's overall theme. Might do a page like this myself.

Inspiring resources for personal wikis and note-taking tips and tricks. Example sites are impressive. I probably won't be doing anything to this extent publicly, but it encourages me to tidy up my local notes.

An annual challenge in September to write a phlog or gemlog somewhere outside and without being plugged in to a wall. It's pretty simple, but the posts are enjoyable to read as they're all doing real activities in their local environment, like walking their dog, riding a bike somewhere etc. It kinda just encourages us nerds to get out and touch grass.

349. selfh.st
I enjoy their weekly newsletter of news, updates and new finds of self-hostable software. There are rediculous amounts of software listed in their "Apps" page for just about anything you need to do on a computer.

When I did my permaculture certificate back in the day, everything made so much sense. I love the principles of permacomputing. Again, it just makes so much sense.

Free computing is so much closer than you think. All you have to do is turn away from the walls and the slop and I promise you, I pinky swear, that the computer can be a blast, a joy, a powerful thing that will bring you comfort and great happiness at your bidding.

Sava shares their experience living in the terminal. I like the idea, but I don't think I could ever do it because of sites and tools for banking and mapping and the likes. The short post suggests a couple of tools though that pop up regularly with this kind of thing. I just enjoy reading the authors joy of these text-based setups.

A speech by author, philosopher and environmentalist Daniel Quinn addressed in 2002. Themes of population growth, species extinction, resource depletion, and our future. His referal to world population hitting 10 billion this century is sneaking up quickly, forecasted now for 2060. He talks of big historical changes coming from the unexpected extraordinary events, which is likely to happen in the future. But leaves us with this:
Changing people’s minds is something each one of us can do, wherever we are, whoever we are, whatever kind of work we’re doing. Changing minds may not seem like a very dramatic or exciting challenge, but it’s the challenge that the human future depends on.
