- schappim 7y agoJust a heads up, if you have photosensitive epilepsy, you might want to turn off images before scrolling on the above url.
- andai 7y agoAnd if you're on limited data, you might want to disable images.
- sarakayakomzin 7y agoI wish I hadn't wasted the time with it. feels AI generated
- ansgri 7y agoWhat is it? I like the aggressive oldschool design, but it isn’t clear from the first glance, what is it, a forum, news aggregator, or..?
- oezi 7y agoClicked that for you: FILE_ID.DIZ This web page is a CIA operation designed to amplify subculture linkstuffs
- ansgri 7y agoThanks! Didn't recognize that as an 'about' link, not that familiar with the pre-web culture, I guess.
- madaxe_again 7y agoFile_id.diz isn’t pre-web, despite its origins in BBSs - it’s an archive descriptor, most commonly associated with the warez scene. I guess it largely died along with dialup, when multipart archives stopped being a necessity for large downloads.
- hyperdimension 7y agoI've seen file_id.diz before, but any insight as to what 'DIZ' is? I can figure out what, e.g. an .nfo file is, but I'm having trouble with .diz.
- aasasd 7y agoWikipedia even has an article on these files: it says, ‘FILE_ID stands for "file identification". DIZ stands for Description In Zipfile’. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FILE_ID.DIZ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FILE_ID.DIZ
- taneq 7y agoI... think it's a counterculture news aggregator? It's so edgy it may have fallen off, though. Certainly an interesting art project.
- archivist1 7y agonot everything needs to be judged by how well it "makes sense at first glance", not everything needed be on message all the time.... some things take (demand) time to be appreciated and known (if not understood) a good relationship, a work of art... maybe even content not everything is optimized for quick consumption

- archivist1 7y agohilarious the above is controversial to the narrow minded here. hate. down. ban. you should note yourselves. it's pathetic. the dissent of the engineering class is duly noted for whom everything must be in bite sized digestible chunks glucose not maltose. got it
- eckza 7y agothose of us who identify as "dissenters among the ranks" truly appreciate this
- icebraining 7y agoHe's just misguided as to the reason he's being downvoted. In fact, it's absurd to say "HN needs everything to be easily digested" when the site in discussion is being upvoted by the same HN users.
- archivist1 7y agoAm I? Is it? I thought the characterization of people wanting an answer, not to be told to expand their mind, especially with something ambiguous was pretty accurate. That and a smaller number of people misinterpreting hostile intent. I don't think it contradicts people also upvoting the submission. People like it, but don't want to be told they have to work for their own opinion on it. People come to comments expecting to get an opinion, not be told, "sorry, you're on your own with this one." Go back and read the comments I wrote here, maybe you'll learn something. In addition, I do think engineers don't like having "what they don't know" pointed out to them, because they're job requires them to have answers. And I think they are willing to misinterpret that as hostile because of the shame they feel at not knowing something. It's just inaccurate projection. But in many other areas, ambiguity, openness and not having the answers are like good things. I think people in hard tech can have more of that, that's all, bro.
- anfractuosity 7y agoI really liked the CRT instruments video, I found another instrument using barcode readers also by that creator - https://twitter.com/crab_feet/status/1222165813135720448 https://twitter.com/crab_feet/status/1222165813135720448
- unicornporn 7y agoSo happy to see it on the first page of HN. This has been my favorite personal website/weblog/web directory for over a year and I'm always stoked when my feed reader pings about an update. Do not miss his HrefHunts[1], the interview with the Things Magazine[2] creator or his P2P Muxtape alternative[3]. I love this answer: > I don’t necessarily think there needs to be a new future for blogging though. The heyday has passed, that’s all. Most forms of creative expression in most mediums still exist somewhere for someone. They just have to adapt to a quieter world.

- azinman2 7y agoCan you help me understand what this is? I read through it all and I couldn’t decipher what’s actually happening or what it’s about. It felt like word soup to me — I’m possibly far outside the intended audience.
- justusthane 7y agoIt's just a personal website. I find it delightful to explore, although I also have no idea what's going on half the time.
- lihaciudaniel 7y agoYes I remember when web directories where the only way to browse the internet
- ThePhysicist 7y agohttps://www.wearesuperorganism.com/ https://www.wearesuperorganism.com/ is done in a similar vein. Great band btw (if you happen to like this kind of music). Their game (https://escapetheinter.net/ https://escapetheinter.net/) is also an interesting retro / psychedelic Mario style experience.
