#TinyHelper: If a website has no #search, or it's not good, here is a #bookmarklet that opens a dialog for a query and searches google with the `site:`parameter:
```
javascript:(function(){var query=prompt('Enter search query:');if(query){var site=window.location.hostname;window.location.href='google.com/search?q=site:'+sit);}})();
```

@thisismissem @european_alternatives I honestly don't like the balkanization of the internet, but I understand the need for alternatives.

@carnage4life Americans always want something new. People (or only the media?) thought it was a younger, competent President, but the new thing Americans yearn for is Christo-Fascism at scale. This is frighting.

It's a bit weird to experience the US looking at its #election2024 choices and thinks “mmmh guess were going for fascism, watcha gonna do, y'all?”

It's that time again when (American) political hobbyists make all sorts of predictions online just to say later 'I told you so'. #election

@autiomaa @Edent @mkj I read about Zotero a lot when I started using Obsidian. But haven't checked it out yet, because of my habit to bookmark things/take notes and then rather google than search my own repository :)

I wrote down the steps I took to move from #Flickr to #Piwigo and make it look a little better than the standard installation looks like. marcus-obst.de/blog/moving-fro

@autiomaa @Edent @mkj This extension is amazing! I'm using it a lot to fight against link rot and build my personal Internet Archive (somwhat). Only knew the Chrome extensions, but will check out their GitHub page. Thanks!

I like the proposed CSS logo/file icon. When we were able to ditch image files (sliding door[1]) to illustrate round corners for a CSS declaration, that was huge!

Moving my #flickr albums over to #piwigo with their flickr2piwigo plugin piwigo.org/ext/index.php?eid=6 and it works quite well (had to turn off NOTICES in the config).

How did the #piwigo community resist a rewrite of their application over the years? That #php code looks like the stuff I've written 20 years ago when I learned all this. I guess that's the secret: they don't have to maintain 3rd party libraries that go in and out of fashion.

I wish the UI would be a little bit more modern. But who cares... I could slap some custom CSS on.

I'm going to break up with #flickr. My annual payment came up and over the last years it went from ~35 EUR to now 73 EUR per year. Even if the flickr development on the app and the website stalled, I liked the service, mainly because of its great API. I don't get many views there, the community is not really alive, and I'm not a professional photographer. I documented places and slapped a #creativecommons license on the pictures in hope others will use it. So #piwigo it is.

The #InternetArchive is being attacked on all fronts. By the #copyright mafia and to this date by some demented hacker group.

Back then, when Google Reader was phased out, I managed to buy a lifetime subscription to #Feedly Pro for 90 USD or so. That gives me a little peace of mind that I don't have to host a feed reader myself. Because as much as I love #RSS I don't use it that often. I don't know why. All those unread count bubbles on each feed turns me off.
Instead, I built a custom New Tab page for the browser, that displays a stream of new feeds via the Feedly API. That works quite well.
