Bing’s API is down, taking Microsoft Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT’s web search feature down too

"In this particular case, it’s interesting to see the increasingly important role of Bing’s API. While Google still dominates when it comes to web search, many services are now reliant on Bing’s API."

Relying on one company doesn't seem like a smart idea.

:kitten: Kitten’s interactive shell (REPL) now saves session history scoped to your app so it will still be there when you next serve the same app.

https://codeberg.org/kitten/app#kitten-s-interactive-shell

I think I’m done with the REPL feature now.

Going to take a little break, step away from the computer, and make a plan for the next week of work on Kitten and Domain¹.

Small update on Kitten’s new interactive shell (REPL). You can now access Kitten’s router via:

kitten.app.router

Also updated the section in the tutorial to fix typos in some of the code examples and use the new router key path:

This is something I've been meaning to write for some time, but I kept stopping myself time and again. The times we live in may seem especially challenging for those of us who identify themselves with their work (or the content they create). It may seem as if a machine has been set in motion that will deprive us of all of out work and financial stabiility. But hear me out - you are not your content. You are ... you, and no in the world can change that.

YOLO ✌️

Honestly, the is unusable without an adblocker and some form of “tweaks” app these days. Ads are one thing but all these cookie and newsletter banners and autoplay videos. I’m so happy when I find my results on pages like Wikipedia..

:kitten: 🎉

Kitten now has a lovely new multi-page Settings screen and… drumroll… a new 🐢 interactive shell (REPL) for you to play with the running state of your Small Web site/app/place and debug your app, inspect/manipulate its database, etc.

I plan on recording demos of each of them tomorrow but you can play with them now.

And here’s a little tutorial to get you started with the shell:

“Towards a quieter, friendlier web” by @cory

🔗 https://coryd.dev/posts/2024/towards-a-quieter-friendlier-web/

> Be kind, be honest and engage on your own terms. Walk away from anything that doesn't serve you and don't be afraid to craft a browsing experience that best suits you. A healthier web is one that's slower, friendly and serves you. Eschew things that make demands of you, insist or impose upon your time and attention.

I haven't paid attention to Netcraft's Web Server Survey, which was once a battlefield between Linux and Microsoft (namely Apache httpd vs Microsoft IIS).

Nginx took the lead from Apache in 2019. However, for the past 3 years Nginx's market share has been on a steady decline, matched by the growth of Cloudflare (10%) and "Other" (25%). Is Amazon AWS lumped with it?

Nothing is more annoying than when a website has broken form validation. Like for example when you paste something and then the pasted data is invalid but if you type it yourself, it's fine. Sometimes, adding and immediately removing a character triggers the validation but sometimes it does not.

Archie, the Internet’s first search engine, is rescued and running:

A journey through busted tapes, the Internet Old Farts Club, and SPARCstations.
It's amazing, and a little sad, to think that something created in 1989 that changed how people used and viewed the then-nascent Internet had nearly vanished by 2024.

Following my recent trip to attend #TheWebConf in Singapore 🇸🇬, I wrote a trip report 🧳 for my colleagues (and you) to share some of the things that I learned: https://blog.tomayac.com/2024/05/22/the-web-conf-2024-singapore-trip-report/. Surprise: this edition was dominated heavily by #LLMs, #AI, and how all this affects the #Web, but also #accessibility and #security. I co-organized the Resource track 🧑‍🎓 and had a paper in the History of the Web track.
