search.marginalia.nu
A search engine for all sorts of non-commercial websites, especially older or smaller ones. The search categories available include such things as Popular Sites, Personal Websites, Academia, Web 1.0 and Text Files.
There's also an option to get a random page of results and to then refine them by clicking "similar sites" on one of the results. My understanding is that the whole thing is open-source and all of the searching or indexing is done by software made and run by the same author, and is not leveraging any extant search engine.

solar.lowtechmagazine.com
An online publication focused on stuff like reduced energy use, increased use of renewables, and things you can do yourself to do those things.
The articles range from changes that could be made to large-scale energy infrastructure, to how to actually make a sustainable power generator at home, to how we should not end war but instead should start conducting war with bows and arrows in the name of sustainability (???). It's also run on a solar-powered server, so sometimes it's offline, and has a comment system where you email them the comments. I think that comment system is pretty interesting, and I kinda feel like implementing it myself somewhere.
