* My tech: my site is hosted on an ubuntu VPS. The main Yukinu site is built statically using a JS-based SSG, and I use lighttpd for a web server. My forum is based on phpBB3 and my git instance is based on a Gitea fork (forgejo). My Invidious instance is hosted in a docker container (bit easier to deploy that way, although I typically prefer no containerization to reduce overhead).

nice, was starting to think it was over
since its early and I'd like to see that standard format used more I guess I'll repost my stuff as well. in most rings and should have it mostly correctly updated still on mine
* My site: https://xn--z7x.xn--6frz82g/
* My RSS: https://xn--z7x.xn--6frz82g/blog/rss/
* My tech: its all nginx with hand bodged php, both unsavably outdated, on a very outdated vps I pay 15 usd a year for. theres a tiny tmp host and blog for some 'content' but my main use was always just having a self controlled place to upload pics to share, to great annoyance of people seeing the url. about the url since its a fully unicode domain both 猫.移动 and xn--z7x.xn--6frz82g are valid, dns records only really understand the ascii punycoded one, but browsers and most other things will cope with the moonrunes.
see also attached the high quality overview of the blogging backend, though it doesnt list that I later added thumbnails, you get the idea its all on request from only the flat files.
Cheers to the new thread hope it keeps going.

I've written a ton of pages and want to regularise the headers and footers between all of them.
Is there a more elegant way to do that then just manually copy pasting the header and footer sections over each page?
Yes I know I should've done this first but I wasn't sure what I wanted to to put in them. Looking online gives me advice for making auto updating stuff and advice for specific services, but I'm using bluegriffon and writing most stuff by hand.

I write my pages just as the body html content, and have a little script which inserts this into a page template whenever I want to build my site. This way if I want to change i.e. sidebar stuff I can just do it in the template and then rebuild.

Advice to anons wanting to start: I got articles talking about all sorts of subjects. I do what I want. However, I'll share the most important piece of advice I was given after failing 3 personal sites throughout my lifetime:
Your stack isn't important. Where you are hosting isn't important. Readers don't care what software you are running. Content is king. You write, you code, you voice act or sing, you make music, you take pictures, You can even video blog without YouTube. Hell even host a downloadable game without needing an overlord gaming community. Tech is important. But at the end of the day. It's just background to assist your content. That's it.
One last thing, I'll attach some logos. Some people like animated logos. Mine's a little heavy at 2.5Mb but don't need to use it. I still have my classic still image logo. and finally an 88x31 for those rocking classic sites.
Server protect you.

>>73668
Which OS are you using and is your site public? Bluegriffin is a WYSIWYG editor, typically good for building templates and a few pages, but difficult to use when you need to scale to hundreds or thousands of pages that use the same template but different content. You likely have a few options:
* If you only need to modify styles, move all of your style code into a CSS file and link to that file, don't use any inline style tags.
* As a quick hack, link a JavaScript file in all of the pages and use a script to modify headers (however this will only work for certain headers, and won't work for users with JavaScript disabled, so this is generally a poor solution).
* Use a small build script to build all of your pages. Separate your content from presentation. This is typically how SSGs work. If your site is public I can probably set up a quick script and a mustache template for you that you can use to build all of your files from single template. You can still edit your HTML templates in Bluegriffin, but won't actually see the final output until you run the build script.
* Migrate to an SSG. Jekyll and Hugo are 2 popular SSGs. It will take some time to wrap your head around them though, but getting past the learning curve is well worth it.

If php is not cyberpunk enough for u then do:

    find . -type f -iname '*.htm' -exec sed -i '/<body>/r header.txt' {} \;

or whatever
but then you have to do it individually for future pages or adjust the pattern (or specify mtime in find) to avoid duplicates. Or start using a static site generator where you can put this in a template

* My site: https://scio.icu
* My RSS: N/A
(Non-native English speaker, may have grammatical errors)
* My tech: I have two small servers:
1. 1c2g1Mbps, 12$/y, ubuntu+apache2+PHP8.1+MySQL8. Hosted a static site (scio.icu), a mediawiki (wiki.scio.icu), and a typecho (blog.scio.icu)
2. 1c1g10Gbps, 15$/y, ubuntu+apache2. Hosted 2 static websites (scio.eu.org, oicsp.scio.eu.org)
I call it "SCIO系列站点", which should be translated into English as "SCIO series site". They have their own functions, but if they were to be listed one by one, it would be too cumbersome and not of reference significance.
The main site I use is "wiki.scio.icu", I call it "WIKI".I edit it almost every day, mostly my life, thoughts, notes, everything. It uses the mediawiki framework, just like Wikipedia, but with "VisualEditor", editing is very convenient and it is easier to keep creating.
I also used some advanced functions, but due to my lack of IT-related skills, there were some minor problems that I could not solve. But in general, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. I recorded this process on the "WIKI功能" page ( Indexed in the sidebar, or search within the site. But it is in Chinese and may not be suitable for you.)
I've been using mediawiki for over 1 year, it wasn't created for personal blogging but works perfectly for me.
The only disadvantage is that the latest version and its compatible MySQL/PHP version have some configuration requirements, and my server configuration is very low. I often have to wait a long time (10-30s) when submitting edits.
I like this feeling very much, because I like to write things, especially writing "Charters" and introductions for projects I create, and I can be very verbose. I enjoy this, but obviously, such a "tirade" won't be welcomed or tolerated by everyone, so I created my own site to speak freely.

That sounds like something I'd like to incorporate. Might be nice to combine a site building script with my backup script.
If I wasn't writing all my html and the rss feed by hand, I'd probably update 3x as often.
>>73717
I like the idea of including descriptions in your ring. It communicates that you've actually browsed those sites, which I'm sure the admins would appreciate (I know I do).
To curb some potential clutter, my implementation of such might manifest as descriptions on hover, as seen on the front page of my site.

* Tech: I use Hugo and Apache running on a Debian server. This is the first website I've made with Hugo and I really like using it so far.
Anyone have suggestions for the layout of my site? Every page looking so similar feels kind of boring. I was thinking of spicing some of the list pages with small images or gifs. Nothing too distracting. I think adding a second column could look nice but I don't know what I'd put there. If you use the light theme on your computer, let me know what you think of my site's theme. I originally designed this site with a dark color scheme in mind and the light theme came later.

not related to the layout, but the rss. You should wrap all the stuff in your <description> tags with <![CDATA[ (stuff goes here) ]]> as certain characters (I don't remember which exactly, but I remember it causing issues for me in the past) can be interpreted as part of the XML and cause errors in reading the feed.

Will take a look at Hugo thanks, I have 20 pages so far and managing them is already getting complicated so I should probably migrate to a more sophisticated tool before I get burnt out doing everything manually. Theming etc. is thankfully already in a stylesheet, I knew doing that manually would be a nightmare, though my theming is very basic and I'm not doing half the soykaf I probably should be doing

have yet to be convinced that webrings are an actual effective way of collecting worthwhile sites. its impossible to actually sift through sites that are actively maintained, find what sites host things that i might actually be interested in, there is no sort of curation for quality, etc.
not trying to be a downer its worth it if it does actually encourage people to create their own websites, but just feel like there has to be a more effective way to actually connect sites together.

"Quality" is a bit of a minds-eye kind of thing. You have to base a metric on what quality means. Google PageRank tried that. Didn't end so well.
One could Neocities it and ask webmasters to generate a txt file of meta (hashtagging) words that describe their site. But as this is a decentralized webring there is no absolute that anyone would place that .txt file anywhere on their site.
But totally agree with the fact it's about exploration. Which webrings do accomplish this job.

Completely disagree on this one.
Assuming most readers browse the web in full screen you are doing them a favor by limiting line width for better readability. The optimal line width sits at about 50-80 characters per line on typical font sizes.

I'll suggest

    width: 70ch;
    max-width: 80vw

This will prevent the main content from taking up the entire screen but also keep it from growing so large that the lines become unreadable on wide monitors. It will also scale better for users who use a custom font size or zoom in.

No, it's because at one point the internet really was mostly used by heterosexual men who didn't fit in. It was basically a safe space for them, because it wasn't saturated by the people who treated them like sub-humans for being socially awkward and lacking masculinity.

I've been here for a bit and I'm one of the previous organization users. I was going to make a simple script to basically build out a webring page using a simple json array. basically put webring.json on web server root or whatever path and script will use that to keep the webring in sync and optionally generate a page or you can just use the json to make your own page. blacklist for sites you don't want to include but may be included on other instances. Simple lowtech and hopefully low effort on admin's part. I'm probably going to make it anyway just for fun even if nobody decides to use it.
anyway my site is 3to.moe, still WIP and no banner atm

My site: https://idelides.xyz/
My RSS: https://www.idelides.xyz/rss/
I used mostly W3schools as tutorials, and flexbox tutorials from sadgrl. Devastatia (https://www.devastatia.com/home) helped me build the RSS feed.
One problem I've encountered with my site, is that for essential elements like the nav, it's such a pain to have to alter every single page when I want to add something to it. For CSS of course I can just edit the relevant CSS file and it applies to all pages that have it linked, but if I want to add a new link to the nav, I can't do that without editing every single page. I know there's gotta be a way to do something similar to the CSS file with Javascript or PHP, but I'm so inexperienced with those languages, I don't know how yet.

you can include another page (one dedicated to your nav) inside another page using php like so:

include("somepage.html");
?>

Erik Johansson 2023-11-16 19:45:30 No. 74242

yeah that's partly why javascript frameworks are a thing now (dynamic content being the other part). PHP is the precursor to that and will allow you to template page content like the nav. you may also want to look into jinja templates and static site generators. low tech solution is to just make a template.html for yourself and use that to build out pages.

>have yet to be convinced that webrings are an actual effective way of collecting worthwhile sites.
Webrings are an entry point for discovering new and interesting content, especially niche content that you may not even realize you're interested in until you actually see it for the first time.
>its impossible to actually sift through sites that are actively maintained
That's what RSS is useful for. Many sites you find in a webring will likely be personal sites or small group sites dedicated to a particular hobby or niche. These sites are often not updated frequently, but rather are maintained passively over long periods of time. In many cases, this can lead to higher quality content with more depth to it since the authors of the content aren't under pressure to frequently drip out content every day; the algorithms on the large platforms force the content creators to publish frequently without the necessary time for refinement, and thus you often get quantity over quality. Unfortunately, the operating systems and applications that most people are familiar don't have a proper interface for getting infrequent updates from many small sites over long periods of time. Suppose you found 100 interesting sites that publish 1 post every month, you would need to keep 100 browser tabs open and cycle through all of them every day to see which 3 on average sites have an update. With RSS however, you can subscribe to the RSS feed of all these sites, update all of the feeds once a day, and aggregate all of the new posts into a rolling, chronologically sorted list of posts. RSS feeds solve the problem of receiving content from smaller, passively updated sites, but it will take some time to subscribe to enough feeds.
>find what sites host things that i might actually be interested in
You typically have to find a site published by someone who has a lot of similar interests, and from there try to follow a lot of their external links to find more things you may be interested in. It's similar to receiving recommendations from friends, but it can take a while to find a site that you really resonate with.
>there is no sort of curation for quality
It depends on the webring. Some webrings have stricter requirements for joining and focus on narrower niches, while others may be more general in nature and have wider participation. Both approaches have pros and cons.

You want a static site generator like Hugo or Jekyll, let you write files in markdown and automatically export them as HTML, lets you easily set up categories and tagging and does indexing by date etc. automatically.
I spent like 2 months making a site in raw HTML then switched to using Hugo and got way more design stuff done in 2 days, including the time it took to learn Hugo and basic Markdown and convert my old content over.

So anything new/weird YouTubers will report on. After all, their business relies on middle-ware content creation serving an algorithm that demands a constant flow of data or else be destroyed. The few times I had my site looked at they were super nice to me. And thus, feel a little bad for their situation and hope they too self-host a website in case alphabet inc. zeroes them.

Didn't notice until now that these appear to be the same person/channel, just a few months apart. Both occasions I got an email from someone who'd watched the video. One person told me not to kill myself, which I wasn't sure whether to interpret as funny or condescending considering I'm very much still alive. (And also thriving, at least by Lainchan standards.)
No timestamps because I don't like watching YouTubers go "OMG! SO SPOOKY!!1!"

I went through the hassle of watching the entire thing. The dude supposedly thought it was a suicide letter on the first video, then he read the disclaimer in the second video and apologized. These type of reaction videos are kinda soy to be honest.

Looked at the video too.
Yes, he apologized. Wasn't him that contacted you but one of his fans. But still.
Yes, he is right that there wasn't any navigation or breadcrumb system. But should there be? That's strictly a design choice. That you write a page and DONE! It's just like reading a book. The content you are given is all your mind has to work with and no distractions.
Perhaps people have gotten too soft about being hand-held throughout a website. What if printed media like a 500 page novel suddenly has QR codes and banners at the footer of every page? That would be rather dystopian.
For a YouTuber who has been doing this 'deep web' show for so long he gave up counting after the late 200's and started over. You'd think they'd see the address bar and go, 'huh. What if I delete /pg1.html ?'
The edit job was rushed. Didn't do his research and most likely based his content off of a search engine on Tor which is problematic. Never ever provides links in his description tab, so others could investigate (and possibly correct him in the comments section).
Getting past all that, there's a consolation prize. As a writer. You did invoke an emotion for the person reading your content. May not be what you wanted. However, it shows how good of a writer you are.
Anyhow, my 2-cents for what it's worth.

An interesting and relevant article comparing western and eastern personal pages.
https://www.bikobatanari.art/posts/2023/east-west-website-culture
>the personal sites over there tend to be very creations/product focused. That is, their sole purpose is to show off things that they've made, rather than embody some sort of persona
>if they wanted to commemorate a piece of media that they love, they'd often make fan art of it or create some other type of fanwork pertaining to it, instead of making a handcrafted webpage dedicated to it... Their sites are solely vessels to hold their work, not the work in and of itself.
>Webrings or cliques over here usually have an admission system: you apply to be part of the ring, and if your site satisfies all of the requirements, then you're allowed in.
>they do things differently with these web alliances/unions: it's merely a site that you link to that may have a certain message or stance that your own site aligns with. They provide buttons or banners that you can display on your own site to show that you're a part of this group
>there seems to be some remains of the antiquated practice where the groups did link to those who were a part of... It seems that link rot became a major problem as a lot of sites they were linking to shut down (some of these unions were up for more than a decade after all).

scio 2023-12-08 10:09:14 No. 74647>>74650>>74652

Dear lains, greetings from scio.icu.
Recently, I updated my webrings page, added almost all the sites in the ring [1], and made simple annotations [2].
I don't care about "the webrings page is out of date" or "the website is under construction and there's nothing yet", we all need to contend with busy lives, it just means they need a little time to repair their mood[3]. But I noticed that many sites do not have webrings pages. What do lains think about this?
I deleted the site that did not contain webrings pages [4]. If I liked him, I would put him in a "recommended site" or something like that and not put him on the lainchan webrings page. But lainchan webrings are decentralized and everyone has their own ideas and I don't think my decision-making will suit anyone else, so I'd like to hear what you think about it.
——
[1]: The original plan was to start from the first webrings thread, but I was a little lazy and directly referenced https://sizeof.cat/post/lainring/.
[2]: I have no intention of judging the quality of the site, so the wording is very broad. The main purpose is to distinguish the amount of content - the definition is also very simple. If there is no content except personal introduction, then it is "little" (I use "个人主页(personal homepage)" as a label). Almost all sites are defined as "个人空间(personal spaces)" (including my own, which broadly refers to people's homes on the Internet).
[3]: But I also have corresponding strategies, such as dividing the area into two areas (including me or not in the ring) and marking them to deal with these problems.
[4]: I forgot to leave a record of the operation. If anyone needs it, I can reorganize it for your reference. I'm on the internet every day and that's not a problem.
——
Apologies for any grammatical errors or inappropriate word choice, although I visit lainchan frequently, I hardly post as I have to rely on Google Translate to handle conversations.
Also, the annotation is inspired by: https://web.archive.org/web/20231121080002/https://lainchan.org/%CE%A9/res/70358.html#q71989

Is there any repo or anything with all the links and, if not, ought there be a standardized path where the links are listed in order to easily be identified as a member of the webring?
Something like serving a json file of links at https://website.com/lainchan_webring or whatever. As far as I can tell there are a bunch of frequently listed sites that don't have any webring links at all.

>>74647
I agree 100%, if you don't have the webring page (regardless of how outdated it is) on your website, you don't actually want to be a member of the webring.

>I don't think there is a standardized path to keep them.
Since the webring is strictly decentralized you obviously shouldn't have to list every site, but it would be nice to have a way of programmatically checking if a website still is a part of the webring and what sites it is pointing to.

Hey there, party person.
To answer your question(s): I believe that the rules for joining are immensely simple because it's not about imposing rules upon the web admins who join. Name, address, RSS, image, and "Post". With the hope others would respond and connect with you.
Web admin "A" may want etiquette before adding to their site, such as an attempt to list others on their website. That is their opinion.
Web admin "B" may not have your typical human headspace going on in their lives. Despite having an impressive windmill collection, the web admin decides to not mention anyone. Again, their opinion. Web admin "B" did not break any rules.
I subscribe to the Web admin "A" thought process. It's a community. An attempt should be made for new people to be listed. Even if the attempt is just 3 sites from the many. Fine. I always reserve the right to drop anyone, just as those parts of the ring have the same right.
This is the blessing and the curse of a decentralized webring. You have absolute freedom. Even if that decision is to update once a year. Or maybe even never. That's still your choice.
>>

Pro-tip, if you don't want to pay extra for a VPS that has an ipv4 address, you can use this to make your ipv6 only site accessible to those who only have an ipv4 address:

I'm just about done making my website and I gotta buy a domain (already got a vps). Does anyone have any suggestions for buying an anonymous domain with monero?
Following this anons reviews https://crippled.media/free-speech-vps-providers-put-to-the-test It seems like nicevps.net is the only option (that doesn't take away your domain like njalla does if they don't like what you have on your website) but it's been down for 3 days now. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

my copy of the ring has gotten slightly outdated (will update soon), but I was getting annoyed at having to copy-and-paste image tags n all to add new sites to my copy of the ring, so I've started storing them all in a database. to retrieve the sites I created a simple API, so if anyone else would like to use it for their copy feel free.
https://jahanrashidi.com/explore/api.php?type=lainchan will return all the sites as a json array
https://jahanrashidi.com/explore/api.php?type=lainchan&format will return all the sites as html
https://jahanrashidi.com/explore/api.php?type=lainchan&format&external will return all the sites as html but with the image src's pointing towards my site instead of as relative links (useful if you want to download the page)
https://jahanrashidi.com/explore/api.php?type=lainchan&format&style will return all the sites as html and style the buttons so that they're all the same size and in a grid pattern
and https://jahanrashidi.com/explore/api.php?type=lainchan&format&external&style is just both style and external together

I started a TOR webring a few months ago, sadly I had to bow out after a while because it was too taxing to stay in the way I set up the social structure.
(E.g. it was a hard floating-ground model, so for it to work we'd implicitly have to get through the roots of TOR, through inet infra... wasn't going to work with the quickly gathered set of people.)
Anyway, we had a system for propagating changes to the webring - a machine-readable format for "this link's view of the webring" in a set location, and a simple link-to-link messaging + message ACK system.
That was necessary for my intended floating-ground design, but it wasn't tolerable together with my recruiting tactics.
I also flamed a visitor from this webring for this reason, I'm sorry about that ^^' I really messed up the design from the foundations, that was part of why I felt a need to keep the ring separate from the LainRing.

I can resonate with the idea of using a personal site as a way to hold your work. I see a lot that are just blogs and that's fine, I have no problem with it. But it feels like these sites could be used to make really cool galleries of your own art.
Some who aren't a part of the webring already do this

>>74996
I'm not sure how I feel about an aggregate site. On one hand, it's very easy to find different websites, increasing visibility of this hobby. On the other hand, more people means more people who won't respect the culture of the community already there and bulldoze over it. Besides, finding cool sites through webrings and buttons is fun.

whether or not the indieweb is your jam this brings up a good idea for the ring. Imagine a Lainring Blogging festival! the absolute schizophrenia! it'd b beautiful, we could cycle through hosts and topics and shid. share posts, talk about them.

Basically, how it'd work is:
1) You post an introduction explaining your topic. (1st-ish of month)
Examples:
* https://foreverliketh.is/blog/indieweb-carnival-january-2024-positive-internalization/
* https://dead.garden/blog/indieweb-carnival-december-2023----holiday-and-december-traditions.html
2) You post a your own article on that topic. (during month)
3) You post a round-up summarizing submissions you received (1st-ish of following month)
Examples:
* https://dead.garden/blog/december-23-indieweb-carnival-roundup.html
* https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/delightful-weathers
People have even combined steps 2 and 3 if you only want to do 2 posts, 1 at the beginning and 1 at the end. There's a couple of minor nuances or two but that's the gist.
It's booked through June now though, you'll be waiting a bit before your turn comes if you sign-up.

I struggle with this as well, but I think the way to handle it is to have defined levels of "contamination", and utilizing those with intent. Limiting the privacy efforts to the stuff that really matters. When it comes to to everyday stuff, however, simply not disclosing your name goes a long way.
You cannot be social and perfectly anonymous at the same time, they are incompatible.

I am 0x19 anon. One of my non-lainring friends and I couldn't agree on how to actually achieve a working standard. We came up with somewhat of a multi-ring idea where you have ring1 peers and their ring1 peers that are not in your ring1 become your ring2 peers and so on. This would help reduce overall spam in the event that one person adds a spam server to the ring. The other issue is that it would require that everyone in the webring actually runs their own server. I have a more robust proposal here but the main issue was always that peer to peer networks that run on shell scripts is how everyone gets hacked in 2 seconds.

We tried to recreate how social circles work in the real world instead of just having a massive list.
ring1: my friends who I trust
ring2: the people my friends trust who I trust based on the recommendations of my friends
ring3: the people my friends' friends' trust (probably spam)
The second goal was "trivial to implement in code". This is because no one agrees on licensing and languages. We usually think in terms of "how can I parse in C or shell or python without a library?" so this leaked into the proposal. Json is too complicated which is why we went with a key:value system, delimited by newlines, with each record delimited by double newlines.
Anti ddos was the third goal and is why we chose cron. If you prepend `sleep $RANDOM; ` it becomes trivial to run a program at a random time. This is standard for auto-updates with cron.
Thank you for the response. I appreciate it a lot.
>>75682
I have only briefly visited frens/g/ but it's very slow. Hackability was another reason we didn't actually implement any code. It is not ethical to create a p2p system that is trivial to exploit.
>>75685
1) if you don't hate hotlinking banners become easy, just add $DOCROOT/banner.png to the standard. 2) Because the proposal is fully p2p and not distributed, there would be no way to get an authoritative record for every host on the network without querying every host. This choice was deliberate and intentional due to the feudalization/balkanization we see in federated networks like mastodon. 3) The goal was not to change lainring but to figure out a separate webring that is automatic and p2p. standardization is required for p2p to work.
For standardization, the word is used wrong. The "standard" is simply a file format. The "writing a client" paper that does not exist would suggest to explicitly support certain fields and ignore the rest as a way to enable extensibility without creating unnecessary burden for you to constantly keep up with the current popular fields.
Thanks for reading.

Simplifying the implementation to allow running multiple instances on the same server could make it more manageable.
>>75693
Manually curating connections in your segment of the webring is straightforward and ensures a quality network. Yet, this approach has its drawbacks, like the risk of broken links from inactive participants. Streamlining the process to minimize maintenance while retaining personal connection preferences could be beneficial.

As I said in my response; I don't see the utility in keeping a ring2 list on your instance beyond rendering it on your own page, at which point you should just curate the list and add it to your ring1.
Eliminating anything beyond ring2 would remove the need for a script entirely, which is the biggest hurdle to make this work. I also think that a node's direct neighbors should be considered a part of its record, which they should have final authority over.

After being down for well over a year and a half now, I finally got https://www.tyxton.net back up and running.
For the more out of date rings, I'm probably still on there, but for those who actively check whether a site is up or not and remove accordingly, this soykaf site is finally back online.
Trying to figure out what kinds of services to offer as well, lmk what you think I should implement

* My site: https://lainnet.superglobalmegacorp.com
* My RSS: https://lainnet.superglobalmegacorp.com/rss.xml
* My tech: Hosted on a Debian 12-based VPS (now under a Proxmox deployment!) with nginx acting as a frontline web server and reverse proxy for certain URLs, with Apache Web Server serving most of the site's content.
Long time no see. Quite a few things have been happening lately in life: getting a new job, graduating university, yatta yatta.
Some of the new content added to the site include a guide on how to deploy your own Sylverant server for Phantasy Star Online and a brand-spanking new 640x400 animated banner!.... also I devised a simple CAPTCHA system to fight off the relentless amount of Russian spambots that have been attacking my bulletin board lately. I figure they might be scraping the links we put here and into our webring mirrors, so do make sure you guard your contact forms and whatnot.

For the most part, yes. A good portion, if not majority, of web browsing is done on the phone nowadays. In webdev we always say to design for mobile first.
Though, mobile users aren't always what you want your main traffic to be, so you don't have to, at that point it comes down to personal preference.

Forgot to mention this month's IndieWeb Carnival topic: Digital Relationships.
"The meaning of the topic is intentionally vague but I can think of at least three ways to interpret it. The first is probably the most obvious: relationships between us human beings that are lived primarily—or entirely—on the digital world. The second is the relationship between us and the digital world itself. The third is the growing trend of people having relationships with digital creations such as AI fiends, boyfriends and girlfriends."

I'm not going to constantly bring up the carnival, but I thought this topic would be of sufficient relevance and interests to a bunch of Lain worshipers.

I try to keep slow and unreliable connection speeds in mind. This is primarily what I consider to be the issue with modern "mobile first" design - it's not actually mobile first. portrait vs landscape is a separate issue. You can do this using media queries. Browsers that do not support CSS well will usually default to something that looks a lot like the mobile site.
You can copy this, wrap everything in a div with the appropriate class, and it will mostly just work. https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp

I was almost hoping gaben would have the audio from this https://youtu.be/fkcIH6DeBUM
I remember one of the issues with myspace and related clones is that users can not only modify the css but that they can modify the html. Sammy worm is the main reason I'm afraid of allowing users to edit html. CSS only seems to be safer but CSS injection that can be used for XSS still makes me worry.

Friendly reminder that the Lainchan Web Festival is gonna need a host for April. Only 4 submissions have been recieved and one of 'em isn't even on the Lainring. That's not a complaint btw, just saying participation is encouraged, but also: maybe due to the slowness of involvement.. making the festival 2 months long, rather than just 1 may be worthwhile? Things to think about.

I like this idea, the only issue is I just don't know what to write for it... orz.
I concur with what >>76205 is saying, though. Considering the slowness of the board and to give people more time to write, maybe doing it bi-monthly or quarterly would be better than monthly.

You still have time to think about something to write. May I suggest a walk through the park to refresh the mind?
The cutoff date for submissions is set to April 1st, but if there's enough consensus that this should last more, I can extend it. I urge people to partiipate in the discussion before the date comes!

I have known about this for a while. It has a lot of ancient sites but it also has a decent amount of new ones that were built with minimal CSS. Wiby still indexes some sites sites we might call "heavy" which would definitely be unusable on a real "old school" PC. I'm indexed on Wiby.
Thanks for reminding me

Thanks to all those who participated in the first Lainchan Web Festival! We end this first edition with a grand total of 9 submitted works! I will now go through all of them, reviewing and providing some commentary in a post that will be published soon.
It is now up to the collective of the thread to decide what's next for this event, which I hope will continue.

This is normally not worth addressing but:
I cannot vouch enough for sizeof.cat, having had the opportunity of knowing them beyond just their site.
More tarded than me you won't find and they've always been more than average encouraging / helpful.
Additionally, a better support page for the lainring doesn't exist.
I recognize our sites, in a way, represent us, but we are also so much more than them. A site, no matter how deeply tended cannot encapsulate us.
I hope you reconsider your feelings as perhaps they are a bit hasty / premature. There's nothing about this ring that we all have to be some happy family. But I think we all share more common than differing ground.
And I think the effort sizeof.cat has put into this collective warrants giving a stronger benefit of the doubt than most.
I am also looking forward to the next festival iteration, whoever you are future host, don't feel you have to make a whole design / section for it on your site. newdigitalera just went above and beyond in that aspect.

email me pls kthx
the truth is that hobby web is not eternal. They say the internet is forever but it's really not the case. Many times we forget to pay our domain registrar of hosting provider. If a site wasn't big enough to make it to archive.org it's dead forever. Even then, IA deletes things all the time. The internet is only forever by accident or by intention.
Mail delivery problems are usually because smtp is an insecure 40 year old standard held together with spit, duct tape, and DNS. If your DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records do not meet the constantly changing requirements for big mail providers your server is as good as offline.

I want to start using an RSS reader for stuff like this. But the results are mostly online subscriptions and I missed the boat so I don't have any knowledge of old pre-saas readers.
Couple of questions
Which reader do you guys use?
Is there a list of feeds from the past threads collected somewhere? It sounds easier to be able to add them all then remove the dead ones.

Does anyone in the ring have a site that's NOT technology related?
I was going to post last year but didn't want to be out of place, and I haven't any business making the nth tech-themed blog site when so many others are so much more knowledgeable.

>>76877
there's nothing wrong with having more tech themed sites in the webring, tech is vast and you probably have a skillset that is more unique than you think (for example, you may have wrote a script for a use case that nobody has come across before or has never been documented, or have used applications in ways others havent before). There is also nothing wrong with writing blog posts on many different topics. I recently wrote a nature-themed blog post for the first time for the lainchan spring festival.

Howdy all. I have, after I believe half a year, updated my version of the webring with everyone that is in this thread (assuming their site is alive) at https://webring.lain.la. If you want an RSS feed for my site, use my Infrablog at https://infrablog.lain.la/rss.xml.
I do apologize for the delay but I had to move halfway across the United States. All my servers are in a neat rack now. I am more active on my fedi instance at https://comp.lain.la, if you wish to follow me there via 7666@comp.lain.la or email me at the email attached.
Happy webring-ing!

Added. I would like to read more blog posts from you.
I'm not sure if we can even attribute a political or economical model to open source. I usually think of it as a set of morals and ethics derived from self interest. When we contribute code we are ultimately helping ourselves permanently solve an issue we experience. Everyone else gets our solution as a side effect. We help others with community support because at one time we received community support.
>Freely we have learned; freely teach
I also like to think of the idea that it costs exactly $0.00 to copy and redistribute software over the internet. The only cost is initial development. Price gouging an unlimited resource is scammer behavior and I don't like it. We have to do right by others.
>>76852
they all suck. I tried the gnome one but it would always crash with too many feeds. Liferea does not crash with too many feeds, instead it will ignore updated feeds if it's already cached the item.
>How hard could it be
write an HTML engine and get back to me. The rest is the easy part.
>>76877
Yes but it's entirely separate and I don't cross contaminate. Technology is what brings lains together. You don't have to be the most knowledgeable. There is always someone less knowledgeable than you and it is a good thing to help them. We all start somewhere and we never stop learning. We are all n00bs in one way or another.

The more experience someone has, the more their instructive material is compromised by distance from the beginner's perspective. All fields are perpetually in need of content by people who haven't had time to forget what things looked like before they were known.
