I've been thinking for some time that we could do with having a sort of private internet for the nerds. The internet itself used to be like this back in the late 90s.

Nowadays 95-99% of the web is the general public which means that it has turned into what TV was - the happy happy box to keep the dummies occupied.

If we only could. I'd work for free helping to build it. Count on me.

I just think we don't have to build one. We already had it in 1998. It's still there, buried beneath the landfill.

We just need some sort of "search engine" that can find it. If only such a thing existed.

I know of https://search.marginalia.nu/. However, it's been 2 months and my site hasn't been listed yet, despite what I thought was a good convo with the owner.

Yeah still looking into this. Seems like a bug somewhere.

Overall I have a pretty long pipeline for getting new sites indexed, but should improve when I finish migrating to the new server.
