Every time i look at what sites are linking to me in my analytics i get faintly sad. I gotta ward off the “Making A Smol Old Indie Yester Free Web Personal Garden Commonplace Book Is A Revolutionary Act” crowd somehow, if someone’s linking to me and their site’s only other page is a manifesto about how Mark Zuckerberg personally smashed every Geocities server they’ve severely misunderstood why i tend to my website

I have also heard that they could crack their tails like a whip in self defense. Formidable.

I am your evil twin and it's time to accept that. I use CSS features my own daily driver doesn't support yet. I laugh in the face of anyone on a browser version two months behind. I am the night. I am HTML6man.

That second sentence is true btw, /latbs has a parallax scrolling orrery that shows up on Chromium browsers but not my own Firefox

That’s why shoegaze is so great. It sounds like it got run through the Audacity slowdown filter already. ;)

Feels weird saying my site was established in 2017 when literally none of the pages on it now date back to then. There was some real ship of Theseus stuff going on in the early days there

Saqvk and a veeery early iteration of LatBS had pages but there's no continuity between the old and new ones, neither of them even had the same name

As long as the nth iteration of your site has had at least one page from the (n-1)th iteration, then there's continuity!

Switched the index page background to an old painting, since i swear every time i look the Unsplash licence gets tighter — not entirely happy with it, though…

99% of old paintings of forests seem to be the butt-ugliest yellow you’ve ever seen, which i assume is just weathering over time, but it makes my job mighty annoying when what i’d really most like is a lovely viridian shade

Three sites delisted, three new sites, including the new oldest and newest sites on the list, respectively. Check ’em out.

Also, out of curiosity, i charted out how many sites come from each year, and to my surprise, there’s about as many “recent” sites as proper old ones: https://satyrs.eu/files/linkroll-sites-vs-date.png

Added video clips instead of static stills for the top 10 — think of it as a way of, uh, tipping your mobile network. :^)

New look for the front page, with distinct apologies to Rivendell's webmaster and taking inspiration from front pages past (using the stained glass window better as, well, a window, splitting the big list of pages, &c.)

If you remember when it looked like this you officially qualify for a veteran’s discount: https://satyrs.eu/files/old-frontpage.png

"this website is a revolutionary act" not quite !!!!! glad you all are having fun though !
I’m really starting to get the sneaking suspicion that they see me call myself "Mx." and immediately decide that i must also have a website for Principled Philosophical Slash Ideological Reasons rather than because i like posting about my favourite things and stuff i did. That’s my only explanation
I will now go and finally update that music page as penance for my sin of metaposting. May the ghost of Tim Berners-Lee (yes i know he’s not dead) forgive me.
I can't wait for your "Warding off the “Making A Smol Old Indie Yester Free Web Personal Garden Commonplace Book Is A Revolutionary Act” crowd is a revolutionary act" manifesto, Xanthe!
