Awesome! Glad to hear! These sorts of artistic pursuits are very intimidating when the bar has been raised so high.
>I haven't seen the previous iteration
It looked the same as the template (https://john-doe.neocities.org/) I linked to in the about section - slightly touched up HTML defaults. I justified it as being wikipedia-esq, but that didn't change the face it only exacerbated the dryness.
>And I know it's not supposed to be NSFW but "This website is intended to become a comprehensive resource for all things size difference" made me chuckle.
Yeah, an unwritten reason for the website was to collate my notes on making SFW/wide-appeal works. Partly because I'm tired of everything being porn or children's lit, and partly because popularizing the topic will invite more creative works from non-fetish artists. Aside from the topic in general, it also pushes against the tiring staleness in fantasy where every race is roughly human-sized and fairies or other mythical creatures are relegated to being walking stereotypes based on tired myths.
>Also added you to my ring if you find it alright?
Completely! As I said in the last thread, I haven't posted the banner yet since I don't feel it's worthy of being so rudely advertised in its current form. Once I get around to writing up some of the more technical articles appropriate for lain, I'll ask for inclusion proper.

>it also pushes against the tiring staleness in fantasy where every race is roughly human-sized and fairies or other mythical creatures are relegated to being walking stereotypes based on tired myths.
Good luck with that. I have a distaste to everything being "human, but with longer ears or green skin color" too. So I hope you'll manage to think of something fun there.
>Completely! As I said in the last thread, I haven't posted the banner yet since I don't feel it's worthy of being so rudely advertised in its current form.
You can just post it. The thing about websites is that they essentially never are truly finished so you can just dump it here, the moment where it will be perfect will never come. Even right now lot of sites in the ring have broken links, and my has a whole section that works once in a blue moon. Your website shows off your personality and it has it's own distinct character. You can post it without a shame. But that's in the end up to you to decide.

Looking good to me! The only thing I noticed was that you removed the check for random + banner which was there because loading the banner and redirecting are separate requests, so you'd end up going somewhere different than implied by the banner. There was a random banner image posted in the last thread which could be used for this purpose.

What tech are you using for your website? If it's PHP or python with Django i can help with that. Otherwise I don't know what to say besides make a html form that saves it's info in a database. Lot of services that host PHP site allow you to enter PHPmyadmin which will show you the info needed to connect to the database.

https://codeshack.io/secure-registration-system-php-mysql/

This is a good guide on making a PHP registration. While not a questbook, the principle is the same. You save two textfields that the user has put in and you store them. If you want an exact blogpost on what to do, I'll write it when I'll wake up.

Don't know if you figured it out, but so far the code is considered I've made two PHP pages for a basic guestbook and tested them out. It should work with minor adjustments on your part, or simply to look how things should be done. If something is unclear feel free to say it.

Hey webring anons, how do you all create your websites? I've been using roman zolotarev's ssg for as long as I've had my website running, and it's been really helpful. The only problem I have with it is that it's sort of inflexible since it's pretty much just a straight markdown to html conversion, with some header files. I've made sites in plain html before, but it's such a soykafty language that the plainness of my site is worth it.
What does your workflow look like?

I don't think that there are really any good web servers released under the GPL.
If you're not too married to the GPL, however, OpenBSD's httpd is released under an ISC-style license, and it's one of the best web server softwares out there. I've also heard good things about nginx, which is under the BSD license.

Just in case anyone cares, I figured out how to manage multiple sites with neocities' cli tool. You set up one account and rename the config file ~/.config/neocities/config to, say, config-website1. Then set up the other account and mv ~/.config/neocities/config ~/.config/neocities/config-website2.
Then if you want to update website1, rename config-website1 to config, do your thing and rename it back to config-website1. Same thing for website2. It's a quick and dirty method that isn't really that quick. It's just dirty.

>>49816
I use markdown too, but I use pandoc to convert it to html, adding a css stylesheet with pandoc's -c option. That's it for me, but my site is very simple, it's just one page, https://thecosmiclibrary.neocities.org

I have a script that does that, and another script that uploads the stuff using neocities' cli tool. That's my personal workflow for now.

That said, I'm probably gonna switch to hugo (a ssg) because I want to be able to update the website from a smartphone and I can't get pandoc to work there, but hugo is available in termux's repos. Plus hugo is faster and has tags, categories and all that fancy stuff that may or may not be useful for me (or you) at all. So I'm probably a normal person weido here for using hugo, most sites in the webring look hand-made.

I also update the rss xml file manually like a caveman. And make it double because I have a Spanish version of the website. Yeah, I need to step up my workflow.

Sorry if I am being presumptuous, since I'm not even a member of the webring yet. (I am making some changes before posting my site.)
I feel like the easiest way to implement proper webring functionality, like prev and next buttons, would be to maintain a canonical site order. Most likely in a git repo. Everyone could hardcode a link to the next site in the list and keep themselves updated with an rss feed or similar. No scripting needed.
My first idea was to sort the list alphabetically by convention to eliminate the need for a centralized list, but then everyone would need to monitor these threads regularly in case they need to update their link. It could work if everyone provided some form of contact info on their page, but I would be hesitant to require that.

I've been procrastinating on it but I did it now.

https://thecosmiclibrary.neocities.org/webring.html

Is anyone keeping a cloneable git of all the banners and the webring's html, or a zip file o something? Or should I copy-paste the code from somebody's webring page and download all the banners with wget and repeat every time I want to update it with new websites?

Here's my idea: a git repo that you can clone into a folder called lainchan-webring, that includes an html file with boilerplate text that explains what a webring is and whatever, and a folder called banners with all the gifs and images. So we can git clone that into our website's homedir and link to it from the homepage, and then git clone that repo again to update it each time.

I won't do it myself anytime soon but if anyone already has a git repo to donate to the cause you can run with this idea or a variant of it, to make it easier for ourselves to join and update the webring. Or maybe I'm missing something?

I wouldn't want to maintain an HTML file, since I already have my own way of managing things. Maybe someone else can offer their Git to host a regularly-updated copy. It did however occur to me that 'webring.csv' would be very easy to generate the necessary HTML from with a very simple script. I did this just an example of what someone may do, use and adapt it however you want:

bash
#!/bin/bash

usage () {
echo "Usage: ./script webring.csv"
}

[ $# -ne 1 ] && usage && exit 1

file="${1}"
output="webring.html"
length=$(wc -l "${file}" | cut -d \  -f 1)
count=1

rm "${output}"
while [ $count -le $length ]; do
line=$(head -n $count "${file}" | tail -n 1)
id=$(cut -d , -f 2 <<< "${line}")
url=$(cut -d , -f 3 <<< "${line}")
ext=$(cut -d , -f 4 <<< "${line}")

echo "<a href='${url}' target='_blank'><img src='/images/banners/${id}.${ext}' /></a>" >> "${output}"

((count++))
done

>>49929

Here's my version of the webring: https://getimiskon.xyz/links.html#webring
I usually lurk on this thread to keep it updated often. Tell me if I forgot to add someone.
By the way, I suggest linking https://getimiskon.xyz instead of the neocities page if you can (I still update the neocities page though).

so let me get this straight its a 'webring' but theres no easy way to add it to sites? like a centralized link or list of the ones in the ring?

I mean, we can make some page on neocities where every site is linked, but simply adding an image within <a> tags isn't really that hard. And honestly, it looks really cool to have these pages full of banners and it's much more fun to browse then simply seeing a dictionary of link. You could I guess make a random button that redirects to a central site which contains every link, which in turn randomly picks an other site and redirects to that. But really, is there a good reason to do that?

keep it synced, keep dead or slow updated sites in the loop. the original webrings where its just add a link to a site before you and after you was an always working solution

that aside though does seem fun to throw on, and I need more 'links' to throw on anyway. whats the most up to date list of all the banners atm? just one from anyone elses site?

This. If you want a place to more casually chat, it'll need to have all the anti-insider trade features of an imageboard: public, no registration required, anonymous by default, and without special privileges. Even then (i.e. meguca), fast paced rooms will accumulate history faster than the thread, which accelerates the inevitable cultural schism. I feel you though; I'd be fun to chat without soykafting up the thread with noise.

I don't think it is, you're just redecorating your internet home.
On a side note, I noticed the buttons on the homepage of your site require Javascript when it's completely unnecessary; you can do a very similar thing with the buttons with CSS.

I thought about that, but from what I know CSS can only show and hide one div. My page works that it hides every dif and only shows one you selected. Maybe I'm just a CSS noob tho. But i've quickly remade every part of the site to be javascript free so you should be able to do everything without turning it on.

Hello, I am the owner of Radio Chupacabra, this is my banner and the url is:

Cyberpunk/Vaporwave/Postpunk/NewWave/Electronica/DarkWave/80's/
...and more...

I have many links in my link list, but I lost my first domain name "radiocc.xyz" for some reason, please update the link of the pages that you have added to me: D to my new URL "radioccc.xyz"

I try to be the simplest to create the page, at the moment no PHP, only JS and HTML, as an audio server I use icecast2 + debian 10, as a client a netbook from a decade ago with debian 10 and MPD

I plan to add more sections, like song history and broadcast from other hobby projects

I love the simple and personal style of the nineties pages, especially those that populated Geocities, at this point we are the underworld of the internet

Guys, I need help. I have hosting on an external server, which I bought alongside the domain. The prices have really gone up. It used to be around 60 dollars, now it is around 100 dollars. It is a lot and I am not able to afford that. I am also unhappy with choosing the .pl domain name, Poland is my home country and I want to support it but the domain prices here are just rip-offs. However, I don't want to lose all of the traffic that I have accumulated. After a google search, my website appears around 1000 times. Is there any way to save this without getting destroyed by price increases?

You'll have to elaborate more on your current setup. How are you spending $100 on a domain + server?

I usually use namecheap to register domains (for cheap, kek) and the average entry level VPS (which should be more than enough for a webring project) start at around $5, hell I used to rent one for $2.50 m/o at vultr. Thing is, doing this involves quite a bit of server admin know-how that casual users lack, if your current host is one of those where you can just make minor changes through a web gui then you're pretty much paying premium for said GUI.

Try to use a cheap VPS (entry level) and buy another domain, then make a redirect in your .pl domain for a few month to ensure that all references to your new domain are changed to the new domain by spreading and put a message before redirect if some user go to the old domain,
Try to buy a domain accord how much $$ want to spend to this, there are domain for a few dollars (the domain .xyz is one of the cheap)

it seems the .pl tld is screwed, they dont even have it on namecheap and elsewhere it costs way too much. you'll probably lose some of the traffic but if possible you could setup a redirect to your new domain from the old .pl till it expires.
as others mentioned pretty much any garbage vps you can find will do webhosting just fine, I personally recommend scowering around on https://lowendbox.com/ a bit. though they mainly have us and europe offers.

If you want to host some pre-generated static soykaf, there are cheaper options than VPS services. There are even some free ones, without ads, for example, I used to (ab)use InfinityFree few years ago for a particular project. Also, many of them support PHP, so there's room for more advanced things than static websites. For me, a VPS would be an overkill, as I don't intend to run any services, and I'm a poor fuarrrker as well. If this is also the case here, then I'd suggest looking for a simple, dirt cheap web hosting instead of a VPS. I see a lot of lainons hosting custom services, so no doubt there's VPS recommendations here, but different folks have different needs, yadda, yadda.

Personally affected, no. I stick with Namecheap.

Building a nice public web front-end (with AGPL'd source code) to make all that data easily searchable to anyone, with a handy MD5-to-known-plaintext function for the passwords? Hell yes. I'm expecting it get it up by sunday night. Might end up being a Tor hidden service.

I've been going through the raw SQL at random. It's amazing how so many people registered domains under what look like standard "firstname plus lastname plus number at gmail/outlook" addresses.
