ramblin_ray··on Show HN: Rip.so – a graveyard for dead internet things

LOVE this! I also love how concise and readable it is...

Only thing I miss (especially for people who never experienced early internet) would be a visual example, or picture of the site, etc... like this:

ramblin_ray··on The “small web” is bigger than you might think

Thanks for the info!

If anyone wants to join up and add our sites together, here's mine:

ramblin_ray··on The Cathode Ray Tube site

Love it! That's what I've been trying to do with my site: https://yesteryearforever.xyz/

I wish there was a way to find these sites more easily... I know they're out there. I miss the original idea of The World Wide Web from my childhood :/

ramblin_ray··on I pitched a roller coaster to Disneyland at age 10 in 1978

Similar age; similar story to many others' here. I "designed" so many things as a kid... including this spaceship: https://yesteryearforever.xyz/spaceship_cross-section

I remember the wiring, pipes, everything actually went somewhere and was meant for something. Nothing was just for looks and everything served a purpose.

Still hasn't been built to this day ;P

ramblin_ray··on Termux

What's the difference between this and Termius, especially for those who are just ssh'ing into their home machines?

ramblin_ray··on The tiniest yet real telescope I've built

Nice!! I printed a very similar (but larger) telescope back in 2018 with similar results... I didn't research my mirrors well and ended up with bad ones. Plus, it wasn't very stable at that size. I'd imagine a smaller version would be much more stable... Thanks for sharing!!
