  1. We need better timestamping services for this.

    I tried to write out an initial spec here, but I haven’t been able to write any implementations yet: https://github.com/sebmellen/proof-of-origination.

  3. Internet-Places-Database

    Database of Internet places. Mostly domains

    Personal sites are dead because the Internet search is broken.

    I personal sites could easily be found, and filtered, or sorted to provide interesting ones, then Personal sites would be booming.

    That is why I created my own domains list: https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database

    It contains links with properties in JSON. I can find personal things using "personal" tags. I can filter them using numerical "page_rating_votes".

  4. chatgpt-shell

    A multi-llm Emacs shell (ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Kagi, Ollama, Perplexity) + editing integrations

    I still believe in blogging. For anyone keen on getting started or switch providers, I recenly launched a no-nonsense service: https://LMNO.lol. The experience feels more like taking notes than blogging (low friction).

    My blog is https://lmno.lol/alvaro (also at https://xenodium.com)

  5. zotero

    Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share your research sources.

    I use Zotero[1] as a personal web archiver. It downloads the page locally, placing most of the resources inside a single html file (pictures become base64 encoded pngs, for example). I find it the best way to have the content available offline and also to be able to reference it easily, seeing as it is a citation manager first.
