if you’re a wikipedia addict like me and you like going down internet rabbit-holes, this is a cool website that will take you to random old websites that haven’t been updated in a while.
mostly it‘s a lot of old personal websites and blogs which makes it a really nice time capsule from before the internet died.

“Google isn't great at finding [old webpages], its focus is on finding answers to technical questions, and it works well; but finding things you didn't know you wanted to know, which was the real joy of web surfing, no longer happens.” -Wiby about page
I love Wiby.me! I’ve found some amazing old websites using its random page feature, but I know it also works as a search engine for these older pages.
It really brings back that sense of wonder you used to have for the internet as a kid in 2012…

Highly recommend hitting suprise me on https://wiby.me/
Generates a random web page that hasn't been updated in a while. It's such a fun window into niche litte worlds and reminds me of when the internet was way less vitriolic 10/10

There’s a lot of Internet Archive talk on here (shoutout MJ Lenderman) but i haven’t seen many people mention the Wayback Machine, which to me is far and away the sites coolest feature. You can just throw in any old URL and explore the early internet. Amazing web design and fantastic informational resource.
My favorite thing to do is look up the websites of old defunct bands. I’m linking to one of my favorites from Geoff Farina’s (Karate) band The Secret Stars, where he and his bandmate Jodi Buonanno chronicle their time spent renovating a 19th century Grange Hall into a recording studio/art space.
