for the wii menu layout my links page could literally just be the mii channel. that would be so neat

i actually got a solid plan to make my website look like the wii menu. the biggest compromises are adding a list view to the wii message board and allowing wii channel banners (like when you select one and it prompts to start) be scrollable to reduce friction when viewing what its about.

Of course the best practical joke is when someone expects you to play one and you don't, and then they have to wonder what you did....

i just realized its so weird for neocities to have a posting feature. i feel like it entirely goes against their mission

It's unusual but I dig it. I feel it encourages webmasters to interact more between each other. Most normal visitors wont even see these interactions I think.

sorry if I'm late responding, but I always recommend this post to people looking for web hosts https://kalechips.net/stuff/hosting, but personally I am very happy and satisfied on leprd.space! all the options are free, but I'm unsure how many slots they have left rn

signed up for netlify. instantly suspended for suspicious activity. now they want me to either give them my government id and let them hold onto it, or contact support. so i contacted support

looking into alternatives, and neocities supporter seems like the best deal? github and glitch has 1gb or less. netify, vercel, and cloudflare start at $20/mo. so i think i might just go with supporter?

dabric 2 years ago

well i guess not best deal, just the cheapest if you want to pay

dabric 2 years ago

maybe. heres a rundown i made: https://dabric.neocities.org/static%20hosting%20providers.txt

I use Nearly Free Speech myself, and that's been about $1.50 a month for my site's ~250MB (scales with resource use). Definitely requires good knowledge of SSH/rsync/other remote file management software though; no GUI file dashboard.

Have't noticed any slowness issues. They actually just upgraded servers and distributed them more to reduce any issues there, too.

going to the dark side and will probably start to use github pages with github pro. ive considered neocities supporter, but i dont wanna pay a monthy subscription for weird edge cases like the download button disappearing or files starting with a dot disappearing. a lot of disappearing i dont like it

never used github but I (personally) think most people should probably just move their site host rather than be a supporter on nc if they're looking for more benefits.

i kinda miss twitter. while i mostly lurked, i liked the people i followed. i actually felt energized and inspired after using it. but then elon came along and threw the whole vibe off. like yeah theres neocities etc, but it feels too energetic for my liking. hell, i even have websites muted by default to entirely prevent autoplay.
