• Small Internet Survey

    From James Tomasino@tomasino@cosmic.voyage to tilde.meta on Sun Jun 26 23:32:44 2022
    I've put together a survey about the Small Internet (gopher, gemini,
    individual webpages, small community sites, fedi, net news, etc) and I
    would love your input. Please spend a few minutes and fill in your
    thoughts. I'm especially interested in the open response questions. This
    will help inform an upcoming conference talk I'll be giving at MCH next
    month.

    Survey: https://cloud.tomasino.org/apps/forms/KakFXPSpgj5WD9zq

    I'm willing to spend more than few minutes to elaborate on the
    additional freeform replies (I guess there's some question
    with "Other" choice somewhere), but the main problem is the following....

    <https://cloud.tomasino.org/apps/forms/KakFXPSpgj5WD9zq>:

    This application requires JavaScript for correct operation.
    Please enable JavaScript and reload the page.

    To be honest, this shouldn't happen on any place that say "Small Internet". Even with JavaScript enabled, the page is completely dud in my
    circa-2015 "modern" browser; I couldn't see anything
    that look like form or questionnaire at all.

    Do you accept mail-in responses? Or do you have the questions posted
    publicly in accessible format somewhere, with an anonymous FTP/HTTP filedrop that answers could be uploaded into?

    (Apart from standard US-ASCII-encoded interleaved-reply RFC822 email,
    I don't mind having to write in CSV, XML, JSON, GNU Recutils, or other
    text formats; provided that the templates are provided)

    Regards,

    I didn't realize there was no javascript free data entry in nextcloud
    forms. It's my first time using it, and it seemed a nice small internet
    place to collect the data.

    Here's a plain text version of the survey:

    If you prefer, feel free to use this and email it back to me at james@tomasino.org or send a pastebin my way of your answers. Whatever
    is easiest.

    Thanks for that. My general rule with Usenet (though I'd probably
    be slacker with it here) is that if someone posts a link that
    requires JS, I don't respond. My reasoning is that I'm not going
    to mess about with sites popping things up at me, downloading
    unknown amounts in the background, and forcing me to play NoScript
    wack-a-mole to make them display without telling the whole internet
    what I'm doing, just for the sake of answering someone else's
    question.

    Anyway now that I have them in plain-text, the questions look good,
    and I'll go through them when I get the time.
