so in my quest to slowly distance myself from regular social media and retreat into a little hole in the ground, i've found a few resources i want to talk about.
-- neocities --
this is a simple web hosting provider. its a nonprofit, like many small-web projects. you can pay 5 bucks a month to get a hundred gigs of storage space, plus a few other features like being able to upload mp3s and whatever. i (sometimes) update a website called mucube with interesting shit, but its been sort of a living art project primarily. this is a good site, if the blogging feature on this feels too cramped, its easy to set up a website with a blogging engine (this links to the zonelets page) or something similar (sadness made this guide on using dreamweaver as a blogging engine for neocities. its pretty neat!).
god i missed having a startpage of sorts. browsers nowadays are so minimal in their homepages. its either nothing at all or a bunch of ads for like crypto (fuck you brave, you shill lion). if you missed the days of yore in which you opened up your browser to a website with the time, weather, rss feeds of some news websites, and some goofy-ass video, this website is for you. set it as your homepage on firefox (use firefox please god).
ive heard that
smol.pub is good? its a static site generator that makes a public journal of sorts. the vibes are nice. it reminds me of
midnight.pub a bit, a very minimalist social media website. the creator of both of these is currently working on V1 of a very minimalist forum software, which im super excited about, and will certainly be using off and on (i might even implement it on a website of mine, who knows!)
another interesting project i've heard about while browsing has been
tilde.club. From what I've been able to gather, its a shared *nix machine that a bunch of people respectfully share and use to host small, static pages. This is an interesting idea, most of the sites are pretty minimalist and carrd-like, but a few are really neat, like this implementation of
conways game of life
i'll probably build upon this later, but i feel like this is a good stopping place for tonight. here's scott
