Thought I'd try out samba for sharing a Linux Mint folder on my network and.. *feigned surprise* I had to spend an hour sifting through "helpful" threads with 300 lines of terminal nonsense, permission manipulations and tangential suggestions, and even then it didn't work so I gave up :/
It should just be like right click share, but what do I know? Apparently computers aren't made for automation and must instead be tediously instructed manually using phosphorous runes from ancient tomes.

Now, you can actually right click and share, but it points you to a samba download and then it doesn't work and you have to manually configure firewall, folder permissions and everything else, and then it doesn't work anyways and you're left with hoping to find a helpful thread (where someone has a similar setup) -- something which is becoming increasingly difficult with the webz as it is now...

Anyways, have anybody tried marginalia-search.com ? It seems like they're not just collecting results from other engines but actually do their own crawling (and promote more obscure sources), which is unusual nowadays.
It seems to prefer my site, looking at rather vague searches such as:
Starflight
Megaman Legends
Planet Zebes
Paradroid
Zelda 2
Xexyz
MoontrapReminds me of the kind of search results I saw back in 1996-2000 with "some guy's page". Not getting ROM sites, "curator" sites, wikis.

wrote last edited by [email protected]If I select "Vintage" in the sidebar on marginalia then my site seems to plop even higher. Normally I wouldn't get top-3 hits on:
Star Trek
Ghostbusters
Metroid
Digimon(I was once top-3 for Metroid on Google... back in 1999.)
Marginalia doesn't seem to do so well on quotes using common words, if it even does quotes at all.
