Web page / Website authoring ∞

See About this website for what it uses.

- MediaWiki is popular.
-
- WordPress is popular.
Other stuff ∞
- URL Decoder is useful for removing tracking junk from links in YouTube video descriptions.
2002-08-31 - Whitelisting ideas ∞
Cookies and images - Ban all except those from a user-provided list.
In a web browser or an email client.
Also whitelist emails, so only those in ones email addressbook are allowed through. This may be doable in Claws Mail, but I'm unsure.
Linux note: A professor created a "grey list". For unknown addresses, the server does not yet accept emails, so they float around a bit (a mechanic of email) and much spam would be eliminated this way. Then it would reply to email addresses and give a password. Some replies are never received, eliminating more bots. A human would use it the email and then it would deliver the original mail.
