how i to set up a webserver based on my experience i guess lol

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

This was originally my answer to somebody asking me if we had any tips for setting up a webserver. so as much as i hate to say it the first thing you should absolutely do is make sure you understand networking fundamentals. (ESPECIALLY if youre planning on setting up a bare metal server like we did) ive been watching this series on youtube (or invidious if you prefer) and it is phenomenally well e... » Continue Reading

website maintainance update

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

some (although literally speaking none since nobody cares, but im posting this anyway) may have noticed my website was going up and down repeatedly over the past 24 hours. there were two internal errors the couldve become a huge issue if i didnt catch them early (which i did because my internet went down and that exposed them). one; apparently you have to manually tell debian to reconnect to the i... » Continue Reading

Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

i feel incompetent in general mainly as a programmer but also a human i feel like im not ever gonna be qualified to get an internship much less an actual job / apprenticeship though im also well aware that feeling is literally nonsense but it still plagues me often every time i see somebody competent or who looks knowledgeable it jusy kinda gnaws at the back of my mind like i am intending to drop ... » Continue Reading

change how the popular blogs category works, it literally promotes ragebait above all else

Category: SpaceHey

yeah i don't care if you get rid of it entirely at this point, but whatever algorithm being used to determine popularity is evidently prioritizing comment counts and hits above all else and as a consequence, at least half of all the "popular" blog posts listed are trolls and burners posting bigoted shit or other rage bait to provoke comments so theyll get on the front page. whatever the algorithm ... » Continue Reading

i feel like a lot of people would benefit from quitting using algorithmic websites

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

i feel like a lot of people would benefit from what i did, being just deleting all apps that use algorithms and only using privacy frontends. like you can't use corporate apps and expect not to get subjected to the corporate ground spikes that are attempts at subliminal influence and surveillance marketing. you kinda just gotta make the call to get rid of it or get with it. and i know which one im... » Continue Reading

why i dont (and wont) have a dni list

Category: Blogging

[excerpt from rant in someone's dms] i tend to rigorously examine anyone who sends me a request anyway, so i dont need a dni list. if somebody sucks and has the misfortune of interacting with me once, i will cybersleuth their accounts for any suspicious behaviors or excuses to block them immediately this website despite its swag very much festers with insufferable gatekeeping cunts, antagonistic a... » Continue Reading

Album Review: Sleep Token - Take Me Back To Eden

Category: Music

I've listned to this band quite actively since their debut album, which I was not particularly fond of. I was a lot more impressed by their second album. As much as I love the very unique sound of Sleep Token, I think they may have made a mistake in their decisions on designing and advertising this project. Sleep Token's projects have historically been primarily dark pop/worship with only the occa... » Continue Reading

no actually you dont have the right to force epileptics to risk their life (cw for ableism obviously)

Category: News and Politics

in a public group chat i got in a fight with somebody posting a serious epilepsy hazard video with no warning, which is even worse because we were on telegram which autoplays all video content by default and makes the switch for turning that off exceedingly difficult to find for no reason. anyways i guess i cant speak for the world at large so please let me know if im misinterpreting something, bu... » Continue Reading

why you shouldnt use discord as your only chat platform

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

ive already given my take a million times, but ill reiterate the tldr;  discord is, like most similar startups, a Schrödinger's ponzi scheme. it operates at a total loss and is funded about 80% by investments which it can only repay with more investment and is continuing that way unless they find a way to monetize it enough. consequently, there's only 3 ways for things to go:  1: 48% that they ope... » Continue Reading
