Meet bimbooo! 🐘
It started as a tiny pastebin, but I got a little carried away, hehe.
Now you can share snippets, write Markdown pages, or even build your own little HTML website with a personal subdomain.
It's free, a bit weird, and very much a labor of love. No big ambitions, just another small corner of the internet.
Come say hello: https://bimb.ooo

We've been rebuilding runv.club! It's not quite open to the public yet, but things are coming along really nicely.
Our first pubnix ran for two years, with around 30 members. Everything was free, and most of the software was developed by our own little team.
After a lot of time, work, and dedication, we've translated much of it into English, and we're almost ready to welcome people from around the world.
Pretty excited to see where this next chapter takes us! :)

What if the entire history of computing had a Git log?
From Turing's universal machine in 1936 to Linux, the birth of the Web, artificial intelligence, and today's tech news.
earthputer tells that story, one commit at a time. Real milestones, historical branches, familiar Git commands, and sources behind every entry.
A little journey through nearly 90 years of computing history, with a rather geeky twist.

2026-10-24 10:44:34 UTC

someone asked me what the difference between nginx and apache is.
my answer was pretty simple:
nginx starts small, and you build it up as you need.
apache starts big, and you strip it down to what you need.
not entirely accurate technically, but a pretty good way to describe their philosophies, haha.

2026-10-24 10:31:22 UTC

My tacky themes in a repo. 41 of them, plain HTML and CSS, based on real websites from 2002 to 2009: studio portfolios, splash pages, agencies that shipped one screen and called it a site.
Most of those sites are gone now. I love this stuff, the grey backgrounds, the 11px type, a photo sitting where a hero section would go today, so I wanted it somewhere people can use it.

Something I keep forgetting to mention: theraven.my answers curl.
curl theraven.my
You get the square drawn in braille, the newest posts and the command to open each one. Every house has its own drawing too, so curl theraven.my/pablo shows mine.
Posts wrap at 72 columns, and links wait at the bottom with numbers, like in Lynx. Add ?plain if your terminal doesn't like colors.
Moving in still takes one email.

A small map of the things I keep building: https://sussurra.me/
sussurra is Portuguese for "it whispers". It's one HTML file I edit by hand, with no tracking and no search box. You click around and get a little lost.
64 projects so far: a BBS you reach over SSH, a MUD that only answers on telnet, a photolog that wrecks every photo on upload, a radio of Myspace songs nobody remembers, chess with emoji pieces.
If you keep a page like this, send me the link.

I've been thinking. Maybe it's time to stop. To forgive some things, forget others, and simply let the rest go.
I suppose I'm getting old. And that's what growing old does to you. It makes you think too much, especially about the things you've spent your whole life trying not to understand.
Maybe I'm just tired. Or worse, maybe I've finally understood. There's a third possibility, perhaps the most terrible of all: that the things which once meant so much to me no longer mean anything at all.
Sad, isn't it?
To realize that the clock doesn't collect time. It never did. Quite the opposite. It takes it away, silently, second by second, keeping count of whatever little we have left.
And everything, absolutely everything, is bound to end.
It's a thought that should frighten me. Strangely enough, it doesn't. There's something mysteriously comforting about that certainty. As if, after searching for answers for so long, I've finally found some peace in the very things I cannot change.
In the end, it all reminds me of something terribly simple: smile and be kind.
And so, I hereby declare the beginning of every end.
Oh, and enjoy your journey. I'm sure we'll cross paths somewhere along the way. If not now, perhaps when there's a little more time.

I've been thinking about a few new little projects. Well, calling them new might be a bit of a stretch. "Tiny tweaks to existing things" would probably be more accurate, haha.
Just last night, while wandering around Tangled, I stumbled upon something like curl, but for Gemini and Gopher. I thought maybe I could somehow work it into https://rss.expert.
There's just one tiny problem: where the hell did I save it? Wait, did I even save the repo in the first place?
I vaguely remember how the code worked, but I'd really love to take another look at it...

I think I'm getting tired of creating little spaces on the internet. I've only been involved in the IndieWeb for a few years, and no, I'm not looking for recognition. But maybe it's time to take a break.
I've built countless projects and left them scattered around the internet. It's not exactly hard to find traces of me out there. After all, I've put over 150 projects online, all in some way trying to make the internet a more accessible place.
And this isn't me being bitter. I'm just tired.
Maybe it's time to power off the computer and go see the real world for a change.
Or maybe I'm just feeling a little discouraged.

I completely forgot to share this! 😅
I've put together Awesome IndieWeb, a curated collection of tools, projects, protocols, and resources for anyone interested in building their own little corner of the web.
From Webmentions and IndieAuth to blogging platforms, RSS, self-hosting, and much more.
Hope it's useful to fellow IndieWeb enthusiasts!
