This is part 8 of the webring thread, still going!

Last thread: >>54827

How do I join?

Post:
* a link to your website
* a 240x60 banner of your website

(Optional):
* Post a link to your RSS feed on your site. Communicate with other Lains by responding to articles on their RSS feeds with responses on your RSS feed. If you're both subscribed to each others feeds, you'll see each others responses and can long-form communicate back and forth in a decentralized way.

I think the whole point of bringing back webrings is to get the flavor that comes from having people design their own things. Using a cookie cutter template kinda defeats the point.

Go take a screenshot of something you like, crop it to bannerish size and fuarrrk around with it in gimp for 15 min and you'll do fine.

1. split the frames of a gif i like
2. put those frames into my button on different layers, all in the same spot (you can do this by pasting them all in, then putting them in a folder, and then moving that folder to the desired location)
3. export each frame individually
4. put it BACK into ezgif and then time it as needed.

I have restarted my personal website project after more than one year.
I still have more work to do but it's already presentable. I'm a programmer so expect lost of software stuff in the future, along with music and random blogposts.
there are still some issues like the vocaloid page with all those youtube embeds requesting almost 20mb of data if it's not cached. I have to look into either using video files directly or only loading the iframe when it becomes visible.

Lains, I'm finally back! My site will be back up for at least a couple months or so and I have a few more things to write about. Added some more banners, sorry if I forget a few, hard to keep up. Also been reading some of the posts on the RSS feed every once in a while, good to see some activity on RSS.

Been spending a lot of time on side projects recently. I've been thinking a lot about the web recently, what I like about it, things about the web I wish were different, and have been wondering how I would design a hypertext protocol these days, what would I do differently? So I've been doing just that, working on my new hypertext protocol. Its takes a lot of time writing up and designing a spec, planning out and working on the server and client software. I don't know if it will ever come to fruition, but it's been an interesting experience either way. Maybe I'll end up writing some blog posts about it some time.

Good to be back online!

You're welcome!
The interface might not be the slickest (it's a TUI after all), but it's very flexible.
It allows you to customise everything: blacklisting articles, making "meta feeds" based on querying your own feeds, external scripts you can call from macros, you can even set the number of threads used to download new articles.
Haven't used it for long, but so far I'm impressed with it.

They should have made it emit static HTML that they could embed. One of the bigger problems is that often these JS scripts break if the webring host website goes down.

I wish they would include some sort of third link to skip over to another part of the ring. Too many times have I came across an old webring where one of the sites is down and I can't find an archive of it. The min-cut of 2 is terrible.

Maybe an iframe that fetches the links from the host who would use php with a url query with a unique key to get the next and previous site such as:

Although this does still have the issue of breaking if the host site still goes down.

The best way to do this without a central server is probably to link the next 3 pages back and forth, something like this:

-3 <= -2 <= -1 <= 0 => 1 => 2 => 3
-2 <= -1 <= 0 <= 1 => 2 => 3 => 4

if youre on node 0, nodes -3,-2,-1,1,2,3 would all need to be down for the ring to break (or more generalized, 2 sets of 3 consecutive nodes would need to be down such that forward and backward traversal is no longer possible). For more redundancy you could even request each node to link the forward and back 3 plus 1 random node. This would make it very redundant without a central source

Hey, that's a cool offer. I'm at thePhilosophersLibrary.neocities.org, I'm actually working on a major rewrite. I'm making a simple SSG based on book publishing. I'll write the books in txt using markdown, then a script makes a pdf out of that (using awk to convert markdown into latex code) and a html webpage for the book so the url looks like thePhilosophersLibary.neocities.org/booktitle, and then it generates the book's entry in my RSS feed. All should be automatic, I'll just need to write the txt with some metadata at the top, like in latex, but with a simpler syntax, like markdown (I'm coming up with my own markdown spinoff for this), then throw the txt in some specific directory and that's it.

I'll also be writing my own CSS. Copied mine from somewhere else, but it's full of bloat. After seeing the one at bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com, I want to make one that's very simple, because I don't need much.

I'll take any suggestions, I guess. Nice of you to offer that.

>>60329
You could download some rss feeds' files (it's usually a .xml file) from different sites from the webring, compare them to see which one you like, choose one and use it as a template, editing it manually. After that you can automate the editing, a bash script and awk or sed should be enough. There's many ways to do it, but copying someone else's and editing it manually is, I think, the simplest for starters. Or (depending of what you mean by simple) you could use a SSG (static site generator) like Hugo or something like that. Some of them generate/update the RSS feeds automatically when you post something.

>almost done my site just need to find a good way to make a blog with RSS. anybody know any good lightweight solutions?
depends on your existing tech stack, you might be able to find an existing library. Also its pretty easy to set up a script to generate RSS, you can use the wikipedia example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS#Example) for help on setting up the format.

>>60331
>I'll write the books in txt using markdown, then a script makes a pdf out of that (using awk to convert markdown into latex code)
iirc you can go straight from markdown to pdf with pandoc, what is awk converting in this case?

>'ll also be writing my own CSS. Copied mine from somewhere else, but it's full of bloat. After seeing the one at bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com, I want to make one that's very simple, because I don't need much.

I was going to suggest checking out classless CSS frameworks, but I noticed your actually already using one (air). You can always try limiting the number of HTML tags your using and dead code eliminate one of the classless frameworks (heres a list of them: https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css) to only the few tags you need. A lot of the bloat in these frameworks is to try to fix edge cases with certain browsers, where a lot of conditional logic and vendor tags are needed.

Also looks like pandoc is including a conditional comment to a cloudflare domain, might want to replace with a selfhosted copy of the html5 shiv lib, but only applies site visitors using old IE version:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="/html5shiv-printshiv.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

>I'll just need to write the txt with some metadata at the top, like in latex, but with a simpler syntax, like markdown (I'm coming up with my own markdown spinoff for this),
some static site generators support frontmatter at the top of markdown files, you can use a similar format in your markdown files for metadata. many SSGs use yaml format in the frontmatter and markdown for content, like this:

---
meta1: value1
meta2: value2
---

>iirc you can go straight from markdown to pdf with pandoc, what is awk converting in this case?
That's right, I'm doing something like that but adding some more functionality. For example, you can use markdown to say "this image goes here" with quite a simple syntax, and pandoc can make pdfs and htmls and epubs and whatnot out of that. But if you wanna say "this image goes here and it's justified to the right", or something like that, just a little bit too specific, it's out of the scope of markdown and you have to write in the whole latex snippet if it's a pdf, ir the html if it's for a website, etc. So, awk can replace something like [image.jpg / right] with the whole latex line that says that image.jpg should be right-justified in the pdf - which is quite a clumsy line, latex being latex. And so on - adding little bits of functionality like that.

>I was going to suggest checking out classless CSS frameworks, but I noticed your actually already using one (air).

I just copied that CSS in without understanding much of it - but for a rewrite I'd like to understand every line, so I'll start off with what I know, and follow your tip from there. Classless CSS frameworks look great - I think I could use them quite a lot, not just for the website itself but also to make fancier epubs. And that github repo is quite handy. Thanks a lot.

>Also looks like pandoc is including a conditional comment to a cloudflare domain

Good eye! I hadn't seen that. I'll just remove it, at the cost of making users of 10+ years-old versions of Internet Explorer unable to properly enjoy the blessings of html5 on my website. If I ever come across a computer running on such an old browser I'll use it to check out my site and see how it breaks, out of curiosity. And then upgrade it to lynx or something.

>some static site generators support frontmatter at the top of markdown files

Well that seems to be exactly the wheel I'm reinventing. Except instead of marking it with --- as in your example, I'm commenting the metadata out with % signs, because that's how it's done in latex. That's reassuring.

Hi lainons. I am ashamed to admit that I haven't lurked nearly long enough to post yet, and I am sure that this question is posted countless times every thread. But I am going to ask it again anyway Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA!.

So I have my domain name and server, and can connect to my default index page. Now I just have to..... make the website. What is the best way to go about this as someone who knows no html/css/javascript? Should I learn basic html/css and build my site from scratch? Should I use a static site generator like Hugo? Should I do something else entirely? I am a bit out of my depth here and would appreciate Lain's advice.

Right now I am leaning towards using a site generator, but I am worried it will leave me no room to edit and personalize my site later, which is the whole point of having one in the first place.

>Should I learn basic html/css and build my site from scratch?
Learning basics of HTML+CSS can be done in a weekend. I recommend W3Fools (only good for learning HTML+CSS and basic JabbaShit. The rest of the tutorials are bad) and Mozilla Developer Network. You also need a text editor, if you don't already have one. I recommend NeoVim, Emacs or VSCodium (sic).

If you write the HTML files by hand, you will have more control. Even if you later decided to use Hugo (or something similar), you would benefit from knowing the basics of HTML+CSS.

You'll be better off in the long run if you take the time (which isn't that long, mind you) to learn some html and css now. Plus, you'll feel much more accomplished afterwards.

>>60470
Nvim and emacs are both great editors, but they can take a bit of learning and pretty much require you to fine-tune and personalize them to your liking. If you learn nvim, use vim-plug to install extensions easily, and I recommend CoC (Conquer of Completion) plugin for suggestions and auto-completions while typing.

Anyone have any links guides to making an actually good looking website?

I'm working on a site at the minute and have a homepage etc. set up and four article and a couple small interest pages but its all pure HTML, all wrote manually, and all updated manually, so when I want to add a new article or whatever when I want to add a link to it to my homepage I'm manually editing the file for the homepage to insert the link and reformat the page to put it in the center.

I want to do something where I basically can have a feed on the homepage that automatically shuffles in the newest post when I add something to the site, but I'm not sure how to even begin going about doing this.

You could use https://paletton.com or https://terminal.sexy to get a color scheme. Also, try to use relative units (like em and %) when making the layout.

>I want to do something where I basically can have a feed on the homepage that automatically shuffles in the newest post when I add something to the site, but I'm not sure how to even begin going about doing this.

The simple way of doing this would be to have a file called blog.html (or just index.html). The blog.html file contains an unordered list that contains links to your individual blog entries (name each like blog_entry_2022-06-15_1.html). You should create a blog_skel.html that you use as a template for your new entries. Alternatively you could make separate files for <head></head> etc. and then #include them using M4 (but it can be just more work).

They would have a hard time doing anything to me if they can't get me kicked off of communities I'm not even on in the first place. Outside of that there really isn't anything they can do to me since I'm more than willing to self-defend.

Its more of a "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure" kind of thing. Who knows what kind of weirdos you'll end up dealing with in the future (and I'm not just referring to weirdos on the internet but weirdos in real life as well).
All it takes is one single person to destroy your entire life. Look at the war between some British guy called Vordrak against Kiwifarms. He completely crippled the infrastructure of the site to the point that the owner Josh had to bring almost everything under his control hosting-wise. That means his own physical colocated servers, his own IP range, and lots of other weird things just so someone in the chain doesn't pull the plug with a single concerned phone call. He spends over a thousand dollars USD a month just to keep the lights on.

you make a very valid point, I originally probably supsected your concerns to be more service level. getting back to your original questions:
>my paranoia makes me feel that someone will link my site to my real identity
it will ofcourse not be bulletproof (in the end nothing really is), but you have to draw the line somewhere; try to keep your site off big hosting companies, I have found the smaller and cheaper the hosting the less the hosting companies care. this will lower the chance they are harassable for your details or pull plugs. as a sidenote to that always try to use non personal payment methods, either proxy paypals or crypto. again not bulletproof but better than nothing
and ultimately, if getting canceled worries you so much. try to stay out of sight of those people, dont put content up on your famous youtube channels, dont participate in drama linked projects on github etc etc. if you absolutely must again try to keep those identies separate from your site and real life one.
>Did any of you have similar feelings, and how did you overcome them if so?
its been a thought in the back of my mind a couple times, especially after getting tangled up in some chan related drama projects on github on an account that links to site and other pojects. but two things keep me from caring too much in those situations:
there is nothing about my real identity on the internet, never bothered with social media, the only thing I have is a real name gmail for real life related things like making appointments or government nonsense. I understand that if you didnt take this lifepath on the internet you cant reverse it, but it works out for me.
secondly but also useful, theres little life to destroy. a couple distant relatives and thats about all theres left of it, I could find another place to live, get another job and move the server hosting to another place without worrying about any sorts of connection with the current ones. most of the 'canceled' victims seem to be alienated in social circles and lose their following, I have neither to worry over.

Hello I have not killed myself

I was having difficulties renewing with Epik, to cut a long story short. It all happened fairly suddenly, so I'm sorry I couldn't give any warning. I'm sure everyone here already knows Epik aren't to be trusted, in my defence I wasn't even of age way back when I first bought concealed.world.

But ultimately I realised I wasn't at all upset at the prospect of losing it, I'd done nothing with my site in a long time, and realistically I don't think I was going to. Life is fairly busy and I don't need that kind of mental overhead. So with a new domain I escape any pretentions or expectations associated with the old - this is just a site for my soykafpost server, the only service I run that I sincerely enjoy and that sees regular use.

Again for the sake of keeping things simple, since I don't have as much time to spare any more, I won't be joining the webring again. However, I'm open to organising reciprocal links, and anyone here is welcome to join, I liked a lot of you guys' sites and wish you all the best. https://meth.cat/

i disagree with your view on antinatalism tho
The pleasure / happiness you get from being alive outweighs the pain. Actually i think in modern times we experience very very little pain compared to pleasure. This is evident by the simple fact that people aren't mass killing themselves. Sure some people do kill themselves, but i think thats mostly people who are depressed / unmotivated in life and do it out of boredom / curiosity of what happens.
In fact i think its only when someone is mercilessly tortured that they'll beg to be killed because the pain overwhelms the pleasure.

>Actually i think in modern times we experience very very little pain compared to pleasure.
This is true, but people don't consider the difference in absolute terms. We are always comparing our situation to what our situation *could* be, and it doesn't take much thought to think that while our lives could be a lot worse, they could also be a lot better.
This is especially true for people who have never lived through how much worse it can be -- that is, the majority of europeans.
The belief that we could be better off does drive us to constant improvement, but it also means that a lot of people are miserable even if they are comfortable.

>Actually i think in modern times we experience very very little pain compared to pleasure. This is evident by the simple fact that people aren't mass killing themselves.
I think you're perspective must be very narrow. You must not know how horrible peoples lives are in the third world, how much worse they are projected to get given economic consequences of war, crime, and climate change. Understanding this and internalizing the despair requires education, which is notoriously bad in the global south. The inability to fully comprehend it, given said lack of education often results in hedonism. When your impotence IS understood it will often result in nihilism and/or antinatalism. The latter is, honestly, not an illogical idea to arrive at. If you are relatively well off (relative to your country men, not people in the global north) in a doomed third world country, it makes sense to live your life, help minimize the suffering of others and your own, and not perpetuate that suffering. Keep in mind, for the standards of living in the global north to be maintained, developing countries must never develop, and indeed when they attempt to do so, military interventions occur.

idk man i dont live in a third world country so i guess i cant say for sure but i seriously doubt they live in so much despair and pain that its not worth it to stay alive, and that the only reason they aren't killing themselves is because they are too stupid to realize it. You dont need an education to be able to weigh the average pain and pleasure you experience in your life. You seem to take a very abstract view of pain, basing it of a persons nations well being. Sure that plays in part in the pain someone might experience but people happiness isn't based entirely off that. You could live in the worst possible off nation on earth, that is bound to collapse in a few years, and still be happy. I also wonder what you count as "pleasure" because i count it as everything from eating a meal, talking to friends or family, laughing, thinking/imagining, even taking a deep breath or stretching, etc. I imagine a dead person who cant do any of those things would like to. I think being alive gives you a lot more pleasure than pain. Even if you live in an absolute soykafhole with a lot of pain, the pleasure of life outweighs it.

Keep in mind that anti-natalism does not necessarily mean pro-suicide.

Not having an education does not necessarily equate with stupidity. Education provides perspective. Knowledge about your country, it's history and it's place in the world. Also knowledge about other countries, the living standards in those countries and their relations to your own. As I said, people without that education often turn to hedonism. I'll add that they might also turn to cynicism. They might not have the education to give context to their condition and that of their society, but given our globalized world, they are inevitably exposed to images of other places around the world, and they must make sense somehow of what they see. They cannot only evaluate their own experienced pleasure vs their experienced pain because the pleasure and pain of others stares them right in the face. These people are human and are capable of feeling indignation same as everyone else. If, when trying to attain those better living standards they observe for themselves, they are told "just be happy with what you have", they will feel outraged. It's human nature to aspire to want to pursue things beyond day to day survival. Some of them might be capable of some buddha-like detachment of earthly pleasures, but the majority of them won't (as first world entrepreneurs and pioneers aren't), and we cannot practically expect the majority of them to do so. Again, in the face of this some live hedonistic lives indulging in vices and doing whatever activity requires the least effort and has the greatest return in order to facilitate such a lifestyle (crime). Others turn to delusion through religion or bitter resigned cynicism. The crime brought about as a result destabilizes their communities and reduces their life expectancy. The work conditions and long hours destroys their bodies and barely rewards. If you have some education, understand some history, geopolitics, and social science you understand how your country fits into a larger system of globalized capitalism and how virtually every new person born into conditions like your own is either doomed to the same living conditions or has a limit to their socioeconomic advancement.

Mine is a more practical, justification for anti-natalism. Given that human sources of happiness vary and that the source of that happiness is often unattainable to many in the modern world, and that many are conscious of that fact, it makes sense for those people to not impose that conditions on others.

>why?

Because of modern globalized capitalism.

Hey all, I finally made a website
here are my banner and url:
https://nomadalgia.xyz
Does any one have a completely up-to-date page with all the banners whose html I can copy?
Also what is the reason for using 240x60 "banners" and not 88x31 "buttons"?
Do they have different purposes? Sorry for sounding new, I'm not very versed in the conventions...

>>

 No.61875>>61909

>>61870

It's a mix of being tradition here and imageboard standard. In the days of yore, banners were fairly popular when you saw things like "works best in IE9" or "uses DHTML!". In addition to that, most imageboards have used that format for a while, and webrings like this one mostly format pages for banners with this style in mind.

tl;dr: it's been done this way forever and no one has bothered to fix it if it isn't broken.

>Also what is the reason for using 240x60 "banners" and not 88x31 "buttons"?
I created the first thread. the rationale behind 240x60 as opposed to 88x31 had to do with common screen resolutions and aspect ratios. When 88x31 banners were common, the common screen size was 800x600 and in 4:3 aspect ratio. At 800x600 with 88x31 banners, you could fit a max of:

# Vertical
(600 // 31) == 19

# Horizonal
(800 // 88) == 9

in present day, common screen resolution is 1920x1080, at max with 240x60 you could fit:

# Vertical
(1080 // 60) == 18

# Horizonal
(1920 // 240) == 8

which is only 1 off in each dimension compared to 88x31. Furthermore, while 88x31 banners can fit a 800x600 resolution, 240x60 can fit a 1920x1080 resolution:

# Cant fit 800x600 viewport with 88x31 banners
(600 // 31) != (600 / 31)
(800 // 88) != (800 // 88)

# but 240x60 banners fit the entire viewport for 1920x1080 resolution
(1080 // 60) == (1080 / 60)
(1920 // 240) == (1920 / 240)

since the max # of 240x60 banners on 1920x1080 is even in both dimensions (8 and 18 are both even), you can half the resolution and still fill the entire viewport (4x9 banners on a 960x540 resolution) while retaining the same aspect ration (16:9). You can also divide both dimensions of 240x60 by 2 evenly twice (240 / 4 == 60; 60 / 4 == 15), meaning you can reduce the size of the banners to 1/4th and 1/16th the size while retaining the same aspect ratio and being able to fill an entire 1920x1080 viewport (with 60x15 banners, you could fit a massive 2304 banners on a single 1920x1080 viewport). In the same line of thinking, mobile has a smaller viewport and less uniform viewport, being able to shrink banners down by 1/4th and 1/16th the size without distorting aspect ratio makes it easy to accommodate mobile and other smaller viewports.

176x62 would have been backwards compatible with 88x31 and fit better on present day common screen resolutions, but the max number of banners in each dimension would be off by a larger factor and would not be divisible. 160x60 was also an option, is closer to being backwards compatible, and can completely fill a 1920x1080 viewport, but the dimensions of the max number of banners on 1920x1080 would be further away from 9x19.

Hey, I'm currently in the webring but now that concealed.world is down I am trying to actually add a webring.html that has everyone's banners and links but I am unironically getting filtered. If anyone could give me advice or instructions on how to do this it would be much appreciated, here is my website and codeberg page.

A) I'm not sure why a blog requires any of that, but if it does then B) there's no point in not directly linking to your website. No need to involve Neocities.

Hey webring. I upgraded my website's internals and changed its name in the process (it was thephilosopherslibrary@neocities). Made it using my own homemade SSG that right now is very barebones but it works. I think my copy of the webring is up to date, so feel free to copy it if you're setting yours up (I also resized the banners that weren't 240x60).

By the way, I have stuff in English and Spanish, in case any of you is from Honduras or something and may be interested in the español stuff.

chaox.ro currently doesn't resolve. This is due to the VPS provider changing the IP address. Because the DNS is hosted by myself, I set the TTL to a higher value, to incentivise the usage of the cached query. Until then, you have to wait until the old IP expires and it's replaced with the new one.

If you'd be so kind, lains, as to try out the RSS feed I've been writing
https://cosmica123.neocities.org/en/rss.xml
and tell me if it works for you (you should see three or more entries right now) I'd be very thankful. I'm troubleshooting it and it seems to work on some rss feed readers and not others, which is weird because I copied the layout from this guy
https://lukesmith.xyz/index.xml
and that one does work well.

inb4 this is just a PR campaign. I know that asking lainons if they could test my website's RSS feed is like asking women to test my dick for troubleshooting reasons, but no I'm not just trying to get you to follow my site.

Once I get this to work I'll make an opml file that includes everyone's rss feeds, so humans can subscribe to everyone in the webring at once by importing that file to their reader.

I fiddled with it a little. Converting it to PNG and running it through a lossless compression got it down to 314K, a lossless webp with max compression got down to 299K (though I'm sure using webp would piss someone off despite 97% of all users being able to see them).
One potential way to make it lighter is to reduce its dimensions so that the inner border is about 800x600 or so to match the video, but that might make full-screen viewing less nice.
I wouldn't worry too much about the border image being too big since video files are much bigger in size, though.

Hello everyone,

I would like to be added to the webring.

I've been a blogger for many years pushing the WP CMS and have reworked many of the hooks and plugins to never reach out to 3rd party assets due to the hell it creates. I believe in self-hosting my own site to take back my data and want to join a group of others who believe in that ideology.

I only came across your webring over the past month via the recommendation of another website within your rings. Before posting, I have taken the liberty of replicating all links before asking permission to join.

I do not have an RSS. Purposefully disabled in the WP CMS due to security issues. However, it was stated to be an optional prerequisite.

Per protocol, I have attached my banner. my addresses are as follows:

Clearnet: https://www.s-config.com
Tor V3: http://xjfbpuj56rdazx4iolylxplbvyft2onuerjeimlcqwaihp3s6r4xebqd.onion

I thank you for your consideration in joining the webring.

Server protect you.

- S
