The neat thing about Alan Levine's posts these days is that you're actually rewarded by reading from them. No skimming the headlines here! If you're willing to follow the post beginning to end you'll read about:
- how much web content is obscured by ads and popups
- reference to Mike Caulfield's Check, please information literacy course
- a Paris Review article on encryption by lava lamps, an the need to search (ie., swim upstream) for the source
- A hit on one of my fave sites, Atlas Obscura
- The source on Cloudflare itself
- Many useful resources on Cloudflare's Learning Center
- The original development of 'lavarand' by Silicon Graphics, per Wikipedia
- Internet routing, and how-did-I-get-here.net as shared by Terry Elliot
- Border gateway protocol, per Wikipedia
- More cool internet protocol projects by Lexi
- Putting the "You" in CPU: a rabbit hole into how your computer runs programs
"There are tons of obscure, non-trending, fascinating projects, art pieces, writing out there, so why just peddle share the same stuff everyone else is? There is much to experience that is not AI Hype or Get On the AI Train or Get Off the Tracks or Pitiful Tales of Billionaire CEOs. Plus, the more you swim, the more you find."
