A free(libre) and open-source webcomic supported directly by its patrons to change the comic book industry!

On the About-page you can find information about the author David Revoy and the philosophy behind his project.

David has also created a nice Lemmy meme

If you like toy robots as much as I do, you will enjoy the picture collection on this sites.

I'm looking for a small older site (that may or may not still exist), maybe 5-10 years old, where you could create process maps for a UI.

It allowed for creating simply with text and tab structure, but also allowed for clicking and changing between the screens. It eventually added the ability to do a little light coding (javascript maybe) and the ability to link to a Figma design for the ui. It had 4 views, and it felt similar to this site https://flowchart.fun but with more features.

It's been bothering me for years now as it was pretty useful even though it was just a browser app. Does anyone remember this or something like it? Thanks

In this demonstration a client connects to a server, negotiates a TLS 1.3 session, sends "ping", receives "pong", and then terminates the session.

Aside from the ancient hacker.org and Project Euler my favorite challenge site. Maybe you find some joy with it, too :)

From the about-page

Inferno

For the people not familiar with challenge sites, a challenge site is mainly a site focussed on offering computer-related problems. Users can register at such a site and start solving challenges. There exist lots of different challenge types. The most common ones are the following: Cryptographic, Crackit, Steganography, Programming, Logic and Math/Science. The difficulty of these challenges vary as well. [...]

Gizmore

The goal is to make a global ranking for challengers.

Also we like to give an overview of popular challenge sites, and encourage challengers to try them out. [...]

Valuable tool when solving problems at Project Euler.

From the Welcome-page:

Most people use the OEIS to get information about a particular number sequence.

Citing Wikipedia:

The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) is an online database of integer sequences. It was created and maintained by Neil Sloane while researching at AT&T Labs. He transferred the intellectual property and hosting of the OEIS to the OEIS Foundation in 2009.[4] Sloane is the chairman of the OEIS Foundation.

OEIS records information on integer sequences of interest to both professional and amateur mathematicians, and is widely cited. As of April 2023, it contains over 360,000 sequences,[5] making it the largest database of its kind.[citation needed]

Each entry contains the leading terms of the sequence, keywords, mathematical motivations, literature links, and more, including the option to generate a graph or play a musical representation of the sequence. The database is searchable by keyword, by subsequence, or by any of 16 fields.

"Project Euler exists to encourage, challenge, and develop the skills and enjoyment of anyone with an interest in the fascinating world of mathematics."

From the about page:

How did Project Euler all start?

Project Euler was started by Colin Hughes (a.k.a. euler) in October 2001 as a sub-section on mathschallenge.net. Who could have known how popular these types of problems would turn out to be? Since then the membership has continued to grow and Project Euler moved to its own domain in 2006.

Who runs Project Euler?

Ideas for new problems come from our own members and they are developed by a team of hard working and talented mathematicians and programmers. So to put it simply, it is the members that run Project Euler.

From the Above us page:

In the last few years, several major museums and libraries have instituted an open access policy by designating most or all of the public domain art in their collections with a creative commons license making them available for use for any purpose with no restrictions attached.

We sort through and aggregate the best of these images in one location to make them easy to discover and download. [...]

From the Terms of Service page:

Almost all of the downloadable images on the site are sourced from institutions around the globe that have adopted an open access policy to the public domain images in their collections, making them available to be used freely for any purpose, including commercial. [...]

A game where you must devise a password that meets a list of requirements that grow in number, complexity, and absurdity

Welcome to Smithsonian Open Access, where you can download, share, and reuse millions of the Smithsonian’s images—right now, without asking. With new platforms and tools, you have easier access to more than 4.5 million 2D and 3D digital items from our collections—with many more to come. This includes images and data from across the Smithsonian’s 21 museums, nine research centers, libraries, archives, and the National Zoo.

A website consisting of "hacking" challenges of varying difficulties. It's been around for a long time now and I remember having some fun with it back in the day when I was younger.

The site still works and you'll need an account to tackle the challenges.

Belletristica is a very welcoming writing community where you can publish poems, short stories or even whole books, chapter by chapter, if you so desire. The site is frequented by writes of all ages producing texts of varying quality. The main languages are English and German.

If you have an interest in writing prose but didn't know where to publish your content or where to afraid of harsh criticism you should give the site a try.

Music-Map is the similar music finder that helps you find similar bands and artists to the ones you love.

I use this tool when I'm looking for a place to move home.

While the maps for walking and cycling look rather unsurprising, the maps for driving and public transports can reveal surprising insights.

I don't want to check apartments only to find out they are too far away from my points of interest. And with too far away, I naturally mean time, not distance. Traveltime Maps helps with that.

So I create a map layer centered around my workplace, a layer for friends, a layer for another point of interest. The common overlap area is the area in which I would be willing to live. By definition, all my regular trips can be done within the time limit I find acceptable.

An example for Tokyo, public transport, 75 minutes:

The post title says it all. It's an old german Sailor Moon fanpage from 1997 that's still online in all it's 90's glory.
