In addition to the other suggestions, I also recommend marginalia-search.com as an excellent searchengine for finding sites that get lost in the usual SEO soup. It has labels for sites containing javascript, tracking, ads, etc. and can find older sites quite well, though you might have to scroll past the stackexchange and substack posts, which it also picks up. The old version also has a funky diagram to show the relevance of your search, which doesn't have anything to do with anything but is kinda cool I think.

3. Hyprland
4. Edit like four lines in .config/hypr/hyprland.conf

I do now want an "ADE" written in APL
