Oh! Dang! Many thanks to Kristof for pointing out a glaring oversight in my recent updates to make the IndieWeb Webring πŸ•ΈοΈπŸ’ more deterministic:

https://kiko.io/notes/2024/The-fun-of-randomness-in-a-Webring/

I forgot to give the “random site” feature its own link!

It’s back! You can now visit πŸ•ΈοΈπŸ’.ws/random to go to a random active site on the ring.

It’s also linked on the landing page of the webring.

For best results, add it to your bookmarks! πŸ”–πŸ•ΈοΈπŸ’πŸŽ²

Without realizing it, Marty has robbed me of my favorite toy: Accessing random pages of the Indieweb Webring and either creeping me out or continuing to surf the site with a smile.

Back when South by Southwest wasn’t terrible, there used to be an annual panel called Browser Wars populated with representatives from the main browser vendors (except for Apple, obviously, who would never venture onto a stage outside of their own events).
