This is a good point, unlike what some claims the Internet isn't dying. The commercial crap on top is thinning out and is getting filled with crap indeed. Still, what made the Internet and the Web are still here for people to use.

The Internet culture definitely changed at the turn of the 21st century. Before this it was a more civilized and hopeful place. I'd like to see the netizen etiquette make a strong come back.

This could be a piece full of nostalgia. There is a bit of nostalgia of course, but it's also a path to use what we got in a more valuable and humane way.

Interesting piece, shows quite well how new technologies get in the home and then slowly expand. In the case of the Internet, it was indeed literally in a corner of the home before slowly being woven in our lives.

This is really a funny idea. I admit I'm curious about what it contains.

Feels surprisingly accessible. Makes me want to play with meshstatic now.

Very interesting paper on the IPv6 transition. It shows quite well the stagnation we're in and provides good arguments about why it is so slow to transition.

Indeed, we'll have to relearn "internet hygiene", it is changing quickly now that we prematurely unleashed LLM content on the open web.

IRIS² is the friendly reminder that tens of thousand of low orbit satellites is not the only design... and likely not the smartest one.

Looks like we're stuck in the middle of the bridge. Also looks like the motivation to finish the transition isn't high.

This is not said enough but this is indeed a very useful tool. There is a few tricks I didn't know in this list.

There's clearly an interesting balance between full anonymity and no anonymity at all. This is a path to keep discussions genuine and civil.

Very interesting move. I wish them well!

This is indeed a real concern... with no propre solution in sight.

Obviously a satire, some of it feels eerily real though.

Very nice account of how the Internet is nowadays and how it got there. I like the gardening metaphor which works nicely here. And yes, we can go back to a better Web again. It's a collective decision though, that's what makes it hard.

Very fascinating piece. This shows the underappreciated job of maintaining the subsea cables needed for the Internet to function and how extreme the conditions can be. Definitely a peculiar life for the folks in that trade... also shows the repairs are clearly underfunded and that not enough people are embracing this career. And now, add geopolitics to the mix, it should make you wonder how all of this work at all and for how long it'll keep working.

Very cool idea. Lots of history in there! There were things I even forgot about.

Interesting experiment... with surprising results in places. What stays available or not is not necessarily what one would think. It's not that easy to be flexible and available across regions.

This is an excellent and needed work of contextualization. Ten years after, looking back at how the Snowden Revelations impacted the internet and the work done by the IETF. It also shows there is plenty more to do...
