Before this Digg, before that Slashdot.

Kuro5hin was pretty big, back in the day. But /. was the biggie, along with need to know. We get the term slashdotted from there, after all.

Holy… I still miss kuro5hin. Wonder what is rusty doing nowadays.

Oh man, the most helpful article I’ve ever read about depression and burnout was on Kuro5hin. Luckily it’s been preserved on Wikibooks:

Still holds up well two decades later.

del.icio.us

anyone?

yup!!! I've replaced it with https://pinboard.in/popular/ now but it's not the same

There was a time where Reddit was good for discovery as well

Every time I share a project I provide two links, one for my vps and another one for GitHub pages. Usually my projects run on the client, so I have never experienced the hug of death myself.

I absolutely love this comment <3
