Internet has become such a confusing place that there are many people longing for web 1.0. And in Neocities you can relive it

by

Nostalgia is An emotional mystery that we do not know how to explain at all. We miss what we live in the past, we dyed it from Rosa and compare it to the present, even knowing that perhaps they were worse times. Because … wasn’t that internet of the beginning of the century, with demential designs, recharged and very, very unusable? Or was it that what we missed was precisely that indomesticated savagery of that time? Web 1.0 we gave ourselves. Web 1.0 is considered The first time on the Internet as we know today. It covers approximately From 1991 to 2004 And it has characteristics that the oldest of the place will recognize without problem. Among other things, communication was done unidirectionally (only information could be consumed, not significantly interacting with the pages), almost everything was simple text and images, the design relied on tables, Frames and basic html, and of course, no social networks or global collaboration. Internet was basically a container of things. Characteristic aesthetic. And first of all, it had a difficult aesthetic to cover in its entirety, but that those who lived it identify with a very specific place and moment. To that internet of hypertext (that now it seems that we die) and of the seekers organized by categories pay tribute Neocitiesa service of Hosting who wants to relive the philosophy of free geocities accommodations. He was born in 2013 and already has more than one million websites housed, most with a maximum size of 1 GB, the top that allows the free service option. HTML on fire. Neocities balances the modern and the very delayed quite grace. For example, it facilitates an HTML editor, but integrated into the browser. They can also be used to build CSS and Javascript pages, and in free mode the only files that can be uploaded are of these three languages, in addition to Markdown, XML, text and images. For anyone to make an MP3 repository that, on the other hand, would also be very of the time. In any case, the results can be enjoyed in the Webs gallery Organized by Tags reminiscent of remote time webrings. What times. And all this shoots A Pávlov type reaction That, in this case, it sounds like the meows of a modem of 56 kPbs and the need to disconnect the fixed to navigate. But above all, let’s ask ourselves What do we miss this first Internet incarnation. Possibly the novelty is the element that we remember most then: Everything was a discovery. But from the hand of that discovery is the feeling that the Internet was yet to be tame: the wild, unbalanced contents, without any sense of measure. Because they strictly obeyed the concerns and desires of the creators of the websites, not to algorithms that determined what people wanted to see. The effort is what is valued. In this nostalgia, and some of that is evident in Neocities, there is also a praise of the “effort” of any technology that takes its first steps. The experimental designs by accident, the slow connections, the rodeos to contact someone (mail addresses buried on the websites, visits books, forums, the first chat systems …): almost that the Internet had to be built as it was visiting. Neocities is a wink and tribute to those times although, being honest, with somewhat simpler websites. After all, during all these years something we have learned.

In his plan to take the subway to every corner of the province, Granada has broken the cable that takes the Internet to its villages

by

The expansion works of the Granada Metro to the Metropolitan Area, specifically to the municipalities of Churriana and Las Gabias, They started in September 2013. After six years of line operation between albolote and armilla (touring a good part of Granada along the way), this extension was key to connecting Granada with two of its closest municipalities. A work that began with delays, whose completion was scheduled for summer of this 2025 and that, along the way, is causing occasional headache to its neighbors. Who has stepped on the cable?. On April 9, who writes these words had to move to the center of Granada from the municipality of Las Gabias for a simple reason: he had no internet connection (or wifi, or dat0s). A blackout that left without connection To a good part of the town of Las Gabias and adjacent areas. Digi technicians confirmed to us in later days that the incidence occurred because of a human error in the subway works, affecting the fiber optic ducts of a good part of the Teleoperators. And who has step on it again?. Just a month after the first incident, a good part of the southern zone of Granada has left without connection again. Local media They report that, on this occasion, the rupture has affected the municipalities of Churriana de la Vega, Armilla, Las Gabias, Gabia Chica, Hijar, El Ventorrillo, Vegas del Genil and border areas. Civil Protection affirms That a break in the works at the height of the Armilla Air Base has affected Movistar and Masmobic fiber optic services. Repair. Technicians contacted with Xataka explain to us that fiber optic ducts contain tubes of different operators. If the breakdown affects the full duct, there are several companies that run out of the Internet. If the rupture is severe, the wiring of both ends is completely replaced and merges with the undamaged to restore the normality of the service. It is a process that, depending on the severity and affected area, can take from a few hours to be completely solved. Some locations began to recover the connection from 10:00 p.m., although there are still many that are still without it at the time we write this article. The Granada Metro. Granada has been trying for years expand your subway line as part of its metropolitan transport plan in the Granada area. Some areas They are already advanced by 50%and local surveys place the satisfaction of its users in a remarkable alteither. Since its inauguration in 2017, the Metro has contributed to the decrease in the use of the private car in the city, improving air quality and redoubling efforts to Install air pollution sensors. Has managed to increase the number of public transport users. Despite problems related to Shocks, abusesand political discussions After its implementation, the Metro convinces the local population… even if they cut the cable from time to time by human errors.

More and more people on the Internet and in real life admit to having a single friend: chatgpt

by

A Perogrullada: The impact of artificial intelligences is reaching our day to day. The virtual space is already being deeply transformed by the IAS in search engines, websites and, of course, in all the work behind, generating more content, helping to produce it. But … And in the traditional space? Is analog life transformed into the same extent by the IAS? Without a doubt, yes, to the point that we already have to talk about how we manage our Personal relationships with the IAS. Chatgpt as a friend. The Derek Thompson essayist said a few days ago in X that our interpersonal relationships have made a new deadly leap with Tirabuzón. And as proof provides a series of conversations that he has found in Reddit where several users confess that Chatgpt has become Your best friend. The Subnet dedicated to the popular AI It is full of threads “by pathetic that sounds, Chatgpt is my only friend” or “I feel that Chatgpt is my only friend.” Bumper people. One of them He begins saying “I know it is a robot. I know that everything is programming. But I have often encountered opening to Chatgpt on personal issues and asking for kind or encouragement.” That is, as he says, he uses AI as if it were a good dog: he does not judge, he always accompanies, he is aware that he is not a human. Another case He says that “honestly, he would be happy to have a friend as cultured and committed as Chatgpt. This person does not exist, and if it exists, he would be too busy to talk to me.” In most of these cases, similar constants are repeated: they are people who have just come out of a relationship or friendship and seek a substitution, being very aware that it is before synthetic beings: “They make me feel heard when I let me out in, something that my parents do not even do. They always want to know how I go in mind and how my projects go, which is even more pleasant.” One thousand and one cases. These cases with chatgpt are Only the tip of the iceberg. While this is the most popular conversational, there are other oriented even in this same direction. Replika either Woebot They allow to have conversations designed to serve as sentimental support to users or hold daily conversations, Share emotions and give emotional advice. More complex and specific are others that offer talks with specialized approaches, such as Receive Couple Therapy. And of course, quotes: Yourmove either Rizz They help generate interesting conversations and profiles … with real people. The bowling clubs. Let’s go to the initial point of this transformation to understand these processes. Derek Thompson Loate a key point In 2000 in ‘Bowling Alone‘(in Spanish,’ Only in La Bolera ”, today impossible to find), Robert D. Putnam analyzed the decline of social capital in the United States since 1950, with the decline of all forms of social relationship in person. Some examples? Decreased electoral participation, assistance to public meetings and work with political parties, to which distrusts in government, more accentuated from the sixties. Bowling are their perfect symbol: the number of people who go to bowling has increased, but the number of clubs has descended to do so in company. The guilt of technology. Already by then, Putnam pointed to a problem with technology and how it individualized people’s leisure through television. In those incipient days of the use of technology to entertain, Putnam dared to talk about “virtual reality helmets”, that for now they have not been massified as much as he predicted, but in reality the thing would get closer to another invention to which he pointed in his book and who did not pay so much attention: the then newborn Internet. The figures. The percentages and data make it clear to what extent the Internet has contributed to creating this less “social” society: almost 40% of adults admit that The use of social networks makes them feel more alone or isolated. A study by the European Union affirms that spending more than two hours a day on social networks is associated with a significant increase in loneliness, especially when the use is passive (the famous doomscroll). And, finally, There are studies They claim that the intensive use of the Internet (more than 10 hours per week) substantially reduces the time dedicated to interacting face to face or phone with friends and family. It comes. Anyone who has tried still in an embryonic state as Replika’s voice model It may be part of the future that comes to us, and that it is inevitable to relate to the movie ‘Her’, to see the friendliest side (although not exempt from bitterness) of the matter. Voices no longer realistic from a technical point of view, but capable of generating absolute empathy and that is beyond the disturbing valley. If ChatGPT and his still rudimentary conversations already provide a certain sense of warmth, the immediate future promises to even more use interpersonal relationships. If we are able to detect them.

Internet access democratized knowledge you were rich or poor. AI is destroying that conquest step by step

by

$ 250 per month for using the most advanced AI. That is The figure that Google has put. Six months ago, OpenAi set his in 200. A few days ago Anthropic expanded Claude’s few limits with another 200. In any case It’s not just about paying for technology. It’s about buying power. And, therefore, to mark distances. Until recently, to talk about ia was talking about universal access. The free chatgpt or gemini versions were far from their older sisters, yes, but allowed to try, learn, benefit from their abilities even if it was a bit. Today that has changed. The powerful version is no longer available to everyone. It has been encapsulated after a monthly three -digit subscription that does not even start by ‘1’. It is the beginning of a new gap: Not between those who use AI and those who do not, but between those who can automate their tasks, think with help, execute complex flows … and those who do not. What Google or Openai offers is not just a better chatbot. Is an operating system of intellectual work. An assistant who not only responds, but understands the context, recalls, acts, generates, automates. Tools like Deep Research (OpenAI) or Project Mariner (Google) represent the decisive step towards Autonomous agents. They execute tasks that previously occupied days of human work. And in many cases they do better. With that, productivity is redefined. But inequality is also redefined. The question It is not only what this technology can do, but who can afford it. Because we don’t talk about a luxury. We talk about a tool that multiplies the performance of those who use it. An invisible advantage but that impacts everything: from the quality of work to the speed with which objectives are achieved. Who accesss these models lives in another learning curve, in another economy of results. Who cannot pay them, is trapped in a slower, less capable, more limited version of himself. This has a clear echo in history: the machinery of the industrial revolution also multiplied productivity … but at first only for those who could afford it. The same goes for now. The advanced AI begins to consolidate as an elite infrastructure. As if at the beginning of the Internet century, they were only available for those who paid $ 3,000 a year. And that changes the knowledge map. Because These tools not only report: they model how you learn, how it is decided, how it competes. Its effect is not immediate or visible, but cumulative. Day after day, those who access them will work with less friction, to make better decisions, to delegate more tasks, to generate more and better content. The others only observe, as much with access to the good, but not maybe. And they lag behind. The future is already priced. In Xataka | Google has become the most leading company at night.

20 years later, if you want to find something on the Internet you are looking for it in Reddit

by

Reddit It started as a discussion forum and became a social network, but what nobody imagined is that 20 years after its creation what many do It is not so much to participate in Reddit and Search in it (Oa through it). Its evolution is a sign of the times. Google’s search engine is broken And search engines want to take over, but they are still somewhat green. And among the deficiencies of one and others, Reddit has become that place where to look for answers. And he has done it for a fundamental aspect. One of which Steve Huffman spoke, his co -founder and current CEO, who celebrated that twentieth anniversary In a post in Reddit. As he explained, “Reddit works because he is human”. It is a slightly strange way to qualify at a social service or network like yours, but it is true: in the face of the flood of the contents of other platforms, Reddit forums continue to be a wonderful chaos of human texts. Users share, think and reflect there of everything imaginable, and that has become an absolute treasure in an internet full of bots and that endangers among other things by the fearsome “Ai Slop”. Reddit itself has recognized how its role has evolved. Until recently, their slogan, the phrase they identified with, was “The Front Page Of The Internet“(” The Internet cover “) A”Dive Into Anything“(” Immerse yourself in anything “). Internet has changed and now that cover is a personalized. And if there is something you can customize today on the Internet is Reddit: by “immersed” In any of its subnetdits And join them, your own internet cover is formed. One with the themes, forums and subrreddits that most attract your attention. That does not prevent this social network from adapting to the new times. Reddit is wonderful for its diversitybut little by little it integrates advantages provided by artificial intelligence. Thus, it is possible to continue surprising with Bizarros and spectacular subrreditslike this one who speaks of Airport Moquetasthis one that does so photos where the letter g appears Or, already put, this with Subrredits lists where that endless variety is demonstrated. And in all of them, the commendable work not only of users, but of the moderators. But we also found, as Huffman pointed out, that integration of AI through Reddit Answers. He himself clarified the mission of this project: “Facilitate access to the seemingly infinite human knowledge of Reddit. Most Reddit conversations occur in posts of less than a day old. Reddit Answers unlocks the other 20 years. Reddit Answers does not replace conversations, but is a faster path to them.” This colossal diversity and that adaptation to the new times maintaining the absolute focus on human conversation has gradually made Reddit become One of the few bastions that have weighed from the primal internet Together with sites like Slashdot either Hacker News. A more anarchic and more chaotic, less predictable, less conquered by the algorithm. That gives it a spectacular value, and the big ones know more and more. To tell Google herself, which has ended up paying her A little fortune to Reddit to train his artificial intelligence models. It was the same thing that did some time before OpenAiand in both cases the reason was clear: the Reddit content has a very special value for being eminently human. That value is such that those who seek on Google take advantage of it. It is very normal since when we look for opinions on any subject, we use Google search engine But adding as a “Reddit” coletilla so that results belonging to said platform appear. It is an excellent sign for Reddit’s health, no doubt. Here the threat is that search engines end up taking advantage of all that knowledge without the return in traffic for the social network –as for the media and creators-. It is likely that this happens, but here Reddit will continue to have the same value with which it was created and that now is its spearhead. Human conversations.

Can a gorilla win 100 men? The dilemma that is obsessively consuming to the Internet

by

Everyone on the Internet wonders who would win in a battle between a gorilla and one hundred men. It is a mere mental riddle without correct response, but formulated to open the discussion. That is why it has become THE MEME OF THE MOMENTand all types of users are facing the enigma from multiple approaches, from biological to ethical. The important thing, as they say, is not the answer, but the way to get to it. A war for all. The meme is very simple: it consists of discussing who would win in a battle under those conditions, a question that has been viralized at the end of April this year. Tiktokers like Tredouglass, Lov3Charlee either Rationniper They have opined on the subject (most of the time in favor of the gorilla), although the thing became a Global phenomenon When users with millions of followers like Elon Musk and Mr. Beast tweet on the subject. Origins of the meme. In February 2022, the Tiktoker YURI5KPT2 He wondered who would win in the battle. It was a first advance of the subject, which had no continuity, although it generated a remarkable response, more than three thousand comments. Previously, in 2020 in Reddit it had been discussed In a thread With some impact on media specialized in nature. Legendary clashes. Beyond, hypothetical clashes between unequal power factions make up a classic debate exercise. The asymmetry between combatants has always been Part of classical military theory. Where does it come from, if not, the legendary confrontation between David and Goliath. On the other hand, and already in more recent times, the asymmetric confrontation has become classic meme of war games, and users of titles such as’ Age of Empires’ or ‘Ultimate Epic Simulator‘(This in pure fantasy contexts) generate fighting with the editors who have millions of reproductions on YouTube. Some of them are that excessive: And of course, the meme has continued to grow, completely out of control, with street interviews, Animations, experiments with AI, simulations and innumerable opinion videos on the subject. Why do we like a anger. There is a reason for us to like this meme, comment, discuss it and contribute our opinion. Apart from that as gregarious creatures, there is nothing that we like more than taking sides for a side and argue for discussingthis confrontation has some symbolic, and there are more transcendent conflicts. The clash is also that of the brute and individual force against cooperation and strategy, in the same way that also symbolizes the eternal conflict of savagery against civilizationa debate that we love to resume and take to the extreme. Again, the Memes helping us to explain ourselves Simple and humorously. There are evolutionary psychologists who affirm in Media like Rolling Out that “these hypothetical discussions are modern expressions of ancient survival planning behaviors that once helped our ancestors develop in dangerous environments.” That is, the circle closes: we plan and discuss how to face the gorilla in a theoretical framework … just in case we have to do it in the real world. Yes, but … who would win? The time comes to give the response to the unknown. Many experts They seem to coincide In a front fight, the gorilla would undoubtedly win. However, if the man is on the cusp of the evolutionary pyramid is for something: he would very possibly find the way to manage to win, even if he improvise weapons to attack. A gorilla is between four and ten times stronger than a humanwhich makes it an unstoppable muscle mass with bare hands. Source | Joshua J.

Not the entire peninsula was left without stable access to the Internet, there was an exception: "Starlink was better than usual"

by

When the light left yesterday I did not alarmed. Then I realized that I did not have data, nor could I make calls, and I knew something fat It had passed. Starlink was the exception. Without wifi, or mobile connection, many are completely incommunicado. And although some operators they managed to partially restore the service With the generators of their cell towers, only users of Starlink They had means to feed the router and the antenna enjoyed a stable and fast connection throughout the day. With more than 7,000 Starlink satellites in orbitthe constellation of Spacex worked in the Iberian Peninsula without major problem. Satellites have the capacity to communicate with each other and, although they depend on land stations to access the Internet, they have backup equipment in case of energy loss, such as generators, solar panels and batteries. Youtuber Redskull maintained its Internet connection with Starlink and a cargo station A youtuber in the Malaga axarchy. Known as Redskull On YouTube, Alex ran out of light in the province of Malaga between 12:30 and 17:45, but did not recover the mobile connection until the next day. However, he continued connected through Starlink. “It worked throughout the time that the light cut lasted,” he told Xataka. “The discharge and climb speeds were even better than usual: about 300 MB of discharge and 30 mb of climb.” The smallest number of customers using the service by the blackout explains the latter. “Normally, at night, Starlink’s speeds are lower because the network is more congested. Yesterday it was not so.” Alex solved the lack of light with a huge external battery, the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 Energy Station, which gave him for 12 hours of use, including the feeding of a mesh network that has installed in his house to improve the Wi -Fi coverage. However, he did not need to consume the load during the day thanks to a solar panel of 100 W. The Graells family maintained its Internet connection with Starlink, Solar Energy and Batteries Teleworking in a town in Barcelona. The Graells family He has solar panels and batteries of Tesla in his house, a single -family house of L’Ametlla del Vallès where two people telework. They only found out of the blackout due to the notification of the Tesla app because they also have a Starlink connection. “The connection was the same as any day, very good for particular use,” Eduardo Graells told Xataka. “Ping of 22 ms. Download of about 150-200mbps. Upload of about 15mbps. It was used from the early morning without any interruption until 18:00. At 20:00 we used it for YouTube and some series. Electricity returned to our area at 2:30 in the morning.” In Xataka While almost all Spain immersed in chaos, a place continued to function normally: Mercadona Despite the 14 hours of the blackout, the Graells lived a normal day with an eye on the battery, which went from 70% at the time of light cut to 40% when the supply was recovered. “Starlink can have some disconnection of 1-2 seconds when it seems to change satellite, and very occasionally. You just notice if you are talking in a videoconference. Watching movies, football, formula 1, etc., do not notice, I imagine that for the buffer.” Five stations in Spain. Starlink ends Open two terrestrial stations of Starlink In the Iberian Peninsula, one in the province of Barcelona and another in Santa Olalla, province of Toledo. There are already five, added to the three in Madrid, Huelva and Alicante. And as we have seen, resistant to blackout. {“Videid”: “X86xfvs”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Starlink arrives in Spain! This is the satellite Internet of Elon Musk”, “Tag”: “Webedia-Prod”, “Duration”: “279” These stations are small, but recognizable by the numerous phase antennas, covered with white domes. They maintain the connection of the constellation with the control centers and serve as link doors for the traffic of Internet Starlink customers. Basically, they act as intermediaries, receiving data from satellites and sending them to Internet networks.

Constant Internet blockages by LaLiga

by

Today, there is LaLiga First Division game. There is also Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Friday no (there is second division), and the weekend, of course, there is both Saturday (the classic, end of the Copa del Rey) and Sunday. That will have a more than likely consequence: indiscriminate blockages of IPS Almost all week. Or all. The situation does not change. The indiscriminate blockages of LaLiga IPS continue. One weekend after another legitimate companies and users are suffering the collateral effects of these measures, which try to combat illegal soccer broadcasts through IPTV services. Today, there is a game of day 32, and tomorrow the 33rd day begins. There are matches every day of the week (Copa del Rey on Saturday, day 34 Sunday). Source: LaLiga. From Cloudflare to Vercel. The cuts have especially affected Cloudflare, a gigantic CDN that makes use of IPS that shares thousands of websites, and all of them are affected by these IPS blockages. In recent days we have seen how other similar suppliers have also been affected, and Vercel is the clearest example. Vercel against LaLiga. Guillermo Rauch, Ceo de Vercel, indicated last week How your company had been affected by these IPS blockades: Spain is censoring the Internet by blocking the IPS of the CDN of @sercel, which is the entrance door of millions of applications and websites. We are working hard to mitigate the problem and restore freedom of expression as much as possible, since they are not very communicative, reserved and are not intimidated by user complaints. “They have blocked us without further ado”. The chief engineer of this company, Matheus Fernandes, explained how the blocking process It had been confusing – “They have blocked us without more telling us why” explained in x– And he had affected legitimate companies again. Meanwhile, Javi Velasco, another company engineer. He tried to clarify How communication with LaLiga had been strange. What LaLiga says. Our mobile Xataka companions They received a series of communications of LaLiga in which they said the following: LaLiga detected a very important pirate broadcast brand with streaming website, which also offered IPTV services, hosted in Vercel. From LaLiga a notification was sent to said company to be deactivated. However, this request was not processed until 24 hours later. With the Vercel company, LaLiga has followed the same process as with any other company where pirate soccer broadcasts are housed. Numerous contact requests that have not been attended have been sent and then working with the Internet service providers, the IPS blockade has been requested where illegal content retransmission has been detected. LaLiga summons any technological company, whose infrastructure is used by cybercriminals to perform illegal retransmissions, to get in touch to reach a collaboration agreement. In the end this gets worse. Which is passing between LaLiga and Vercel —The versions of both parties do not block – it is a replica of what has already happened with Cloudflare. Be that as it may, that fight of LaLiga against those emissions that violate intellectual property are affecting many users. They continue to pay fair for sinners. Blockades that do not end when the games end. These blockages, which should not exist in this indiscriminate format, also last much more than they last from the parties. As Velasco explainedthey received a first report from LaLiga on April 12 and requested more data – often there are reports of illegal websites that are not real – but LaLiga did not answer. Instead, their IPS were blocked without more. The two Vercel IPS remained blocked for days even though matches were no longer issued. Quic.cloud is in the same. Another CDN provider called Quic.cloud has also been affected by the blockages and is in the same situation as Cloudflare and Vercel. On your website have published a statement indicating that “we have tried to contact LaLiga to be able to discuss the situation, but we have not been successful.” This week will be problematic. All these blockages that already affect other CDN service providers seem to indicate that LaLiga measures are not less, but more. That all this week there are broadcasts of First Division football matches propose continuous blockages again, which can make thousands of websites again inaccessible and that many users cannot access them. #Laligagate. Protests for all these problems They are starting to get together in a hashtag In social networks, #laligagate. Ofelia Tejerina, president of the Association of Internet users, recommended those affected by LaLiga blockages to aim the affected domain To this listwhich also shows an estimate of laliga losses.
