What EXACTLY constitutes a Smol Internet? Of course we don't really have exact definitions besides what people write on blogs, it also depends on the exact term we use, e.g. smol web may refer specifically to lightweight self-hosted websites while smol net will also include different protocols than [HTTP(s)](http.md) (i.e. things outside the Web). But we are usually talking about simpler ([KISS](kiss.md), [suckless](suckless.md), ...), alternative, [decentralized](decentralization.md), [self hosted](self_hosting.md) technology (protocols, servers, ...), and communities that strive to escape commercially spoiled spaces. These communities don't aim to grow to big sizes or compete with the mainstream Web, they do not seek to replace the Web or achieve the same things (popularity, profitability, ...) but rather bring back the quality the Web (and similar services such as [Usenet](usenet.md)) used to have in the early days such as relative freedom, unrestricted sharing, free speech, simplicity, decentralization, creative personal sites, comfiness, [fun](fun.md) and so on. It is for the people, not for companies and corporations. Smol Internet usually refers to [gopher](gopher.md) and [gemini](gemini.md), the alternative protocols to [HTTP](http.md), the basis of the Web. Smol Web on the other hand stands for simple, plain [HTML](html.md) web 1.0 static personal/community sites on the Web itself which are however hosted independently, often on one's own server (self hosted) -- such sites can be searched e.g. with the [wiby](wiby.md) search engine. It may also include small communities such as [pubnixes](pubnix.md) like [SDF](sdf.md) and [tildeverse](tildeverse.md). Other KISS communication technology such as [email](email.md) and [IRC](irc.md) may also fall under Smol Internet. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/tangram.md b/tangram.md index c471798..3764200 100644 --- a/tangram.md +++ b/tangram.md @@ -48,7 +48,7 @@ Tangram usually comes as a box with the 7 pieces and a number of cards with shap { I found tangram to be a nice practice for **letting go of ideas** -- sometimes you've got an almost complete solution that looks just beautiful, it looks like THE only one that just has to be it, but you can't quite fir the last pieces.

Of course geometrically this isn't possible, the missing/extra area is always compensated somewhere, but to a human eye this may be hard to spot (see also [infinite chocolate](infinite_chocolate.md)). New players get confused when they encounter a paradox for the first time, they think they solved the problem but are missing a piece, or have an extra one, while in fact they just made a wrong shape.
