Weird day. Had an interview with Deutschlandfunk today about alt-search and the small web. Hopefully I didn't ramble too much. We'll see if and when the segment airs I guess.

I have so much I should be doing I'm opting to do nothing in front of a computer instead.

Working on open sourcing marginalia.nu with associated services. Bit of a project in its own, given it's 2 years of intertwined hobby projects in one big repo. But I think I'll get there, eventually, somehow.

It's looking like I might join the legion of unemployed geminauts soon. Kinda got mixed feelings toward this. Upside is I'm getting more time to work on my search engine. Maybe I'll draw a sad jimmy wales to plead for donations in the corner.

I'm full of energy for the first time in what feels like forever. Dunno if it's winter finally passing or what, but I'm certainly not complaining.

Last week: What? Russia is invading Ukraine?! Cut off Russia from the Internet! This week: What, Russia is cutting itself off from the Internet?! Make sure Russia isn't cut off from the Internet!

So my 'i have no capslock' post sort of blew up. First on HN. Now Elon Musk tweets it, and he discovers the site went down from 10,000 people clicking the link the same moment it's posted, so he deletes the tweet, and now there's like a weird brewing conspiracy theory about what this meant. The fuck.

Started watching "Godzilla: Singular Point" on netflix the other day. Not sure what I was expecting, but it was surprisingly hard sci-fi. Not to spoil too much, but semi plausible "show, don't tell" genetic algorithms are a central plot point. Neat.

Anyone want a fun dataset to play with? I've published a link database from my search engine here: https://downloads.marginalia.nu/

I got an email from someone wanting to publissh stuff on Gemini, don't know what's the best advice to give them. Wasn't there a Gemini quick-start guide floating around a while back?

This log4j/jndi shitstorm is entertaining to no end. At work we got a mass BCC email urging us to update the default jdk due to nebulous "licensing issues". Right, that seems totally legit. No CYA at all.

New experiment: Search for pages that link to a domain (only available for top-domain), informed by standard ranking algos. https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=links:circumlunar.space&profile=corpo&js=default

November Update of my search engine is in progress. It's gonna be a good one. Ought to be back to full speed in maybe a week? Still usable even at 0.5% index size, only a bit limited.

Is there something like a regexp-language, except generalized to sequences of objects? I want to be able to express patterns of properties in a list, and find matches in a way that isn't if((foo(i j) && bar(i j 1) && baz(i j 2)) || foo(i j) && ...

Got around to doing some long overdue refactoring. Had a bunch of that sort of code that fills you with dread when you think about touching it. Valiantly I slew the gorgon. The search index now has a quarter the disk footprint, and converts from forward index to reverse index in a third the time.

I didn't want to have to CDN up, but the botnet is really not giving me many options :-( I guess the upside is that it seems pretty effective at weeding them out.

I built... a thing. The design is super-unfinished, but it's pretty cool. Press the browse button to get links adjacent to the domain. https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=browse:memex.marginalia.nu&profile=yolo&js=default
