Lost Web Site

Search Tools

I added 3 new search tools to the menu, which I’ve named 0 search, i search, and x search.

0 search is powered by whoogle, and is a privacy focused way to access information on google without being tracked or monitored.

x search uses SearXNG, an aggregator that lets you search multiple engines concurrently and has some privacy features too.

i search is built on Yacy, a decentralized search network where no single entity controls rankings or results.

Access to these tools is limited during testing/development phase.

Enjoy it while you can contact me to inquire about having your own ad-free, private, and secure search engine(s).

Site Update 05-10-2025

Here is a listing of what’s gone down this week:

• Ported lost.ws from wordpress to flatpress.
• Set up a staging site and revision system to roll out changes every Sunday and make it easy to roll back.
• Landed on a blacklist after sending 1 email to myself. No email until I can fix my domain reputation.
• Delayed delivery of my new server. No vids this week.

Hall of Doors

In my journey to self publish free of corporate ownership, I’ve done a lot of experimenting.

I’ve tried dozens of operating systems, server applications, and production softwares. I’ve installed and configured oodles and oodles of programs. Throughout this process, I’ve developed a good sense of what I like and what works best for me.

Through effective communication I can apply this experience towards your goals and interests and create custom solutions for whatever project you’re working on.

I can also push buttons, modify scripts, and perform basic configurations for most web apps. At least those I’ve worked with :)

Unlike most support staff which specialize in supporting one or a few products, I generalize multiple different categories.

Unfettered

Free speech is one of the cornerstones of modern democracy and maintaining the free world.

I wonder how anyone can exercise free speech and independent thought when we are constantly inundated with oppressive media.

In order to create and publish my own content without surrendering distribution rights or submitting to a marketing agreement, or conceding any degree of creative control, I created Lost Web Site.

I hope that you will enjoy and be enriched by whatever content I present, and also that you may be motivated to create your own independent platform. There’s no reason these conglomerate behemoths should be making an easy living off the work of the many creators and producers all over the world. They’ve convinced people that they’re providing an opportunity, but in fact the opposite is true. It’s you who are the asset to them.

As I created Lost, I can also help other creators and producers get away from the typical commercial offerings and create an independent publishing suite of your own.
