Geocities hosted my second website, my first one was somewhere on CompuServe I think? I had a GeoCities site for quite a few years, somewhere at the top level of SiliconValley. I can't remember the 4-digit number and I've never been able to find it in any of the archives just by searching for it. (I likely deleted it some time in the early 2000's.)

Just found that GNOME seems to have lost support for tiled wallpapers...

Unfixed for years https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1473

Long-press and download the image?

if you can access the console, this adds that functionality:

  document.body.addEventListener('click', function(e) { if (e.target.nodeName == 'IMG') { document.body.style.backgroundImage = `url("${e.target.src}")`; document.body.style.backgroundRepeat = 'repeat'; } });

Oh, I'm sorry to hear it's not loading properly for you :c I host my images through filegarden and I certainly hope it's not sketchy because it's the best file hosting service I can find since I no longer use Imgur.

@dang can we update the post's URL to this one? It seems more relevant and usable.

This page only contains links to about half of the backgrounds present on the page that is linked currently.

Changed from https://pixelmoondust.neocities.org/archives/archivedtiles. Thanks!

In the spirit of "analog browsing", there is always https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall

A great thing about the Web is it can still be programmed just like it was thirty years ago. Unless you actually need an application a lot of web tooling and libraries are a waste of time. It's a great medium for actual documents.

I once rebuilt an internal employee directory tool, and added the ability for people to add an emoji below their name.

Before that, hardly anyone used the internal directory, which is probably why I inherited it (I was the stig). After the feature was added, people went nuts and used it all the time. I feel bad for the guy who runs it now, as I understand he is bombarded with feature requests from the employees.

Obligatory mention of Hypnospace Outlaw, a game where you play a moderator of a 1990s AOL-style internet (right down to the tiled backgrounds and flame gifs) and uncover a mystery.

i recall the glorious day the linkexchange counter on my site hit 10k. still waiting on my check for $176 from featuring cyberthrills casino banner ads though.

There definitely is!!! There's a few GeoCities archives projects out there, but these ones specifically let's you search through the areas:

https://geocities.restorativland.org/Baja/ https://www.oocities.org/baja/

If you can find your site here (you may not be able to because I'm sure these sites don't have every single site archived), then you could try to find it through the Internet Archive, or through geocities.ws!

I would recommend https://rodzilla.itch.io/material-maker

It's free and fabulous.

It was TeraLogic; one ‘r’ :)
