Namecheap pulled the plug on the Neocities dot org domain in response to the site apparently being offhandedly being mentioned in a random court case in India. No warming or anything, just shut it down and suspended their account so they couldn't migrate. Details are on neocities's bluesky

Namecheap, the registrar, is the trigger-happy lot in this saga. This is an emerging problem these days in the online world. I believe that GoDaddy also have their share of problems, so one is really stuck between a rock and a hard place on whom to choose.

PORKBUN WINS AGAIN

@sonic2k oops didn't realize the "they" in my original post was a bit ambiguous. Fixed that :p

@tabf5 I might transfer over to Porkbun if push comes to shove. Found an article from them explaining how to do it, in case any of my followers are considering doing the same! https://kb.porkbun.com/article/88-how-to-transfer-a-domain-from-namecheap-to-porkbun

"My followers" sounds weird and influencer-esque but you get what I mean

lol u silly goose

guilty as charged

(The book is The Life of Franklin Pierce by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It's basically a piece of propaganda he wrote for his friend in support for Pierce's campaign for the US presidency. Pierce was an infamously terrible president who hastened the US Civil War through incompetence and inaction, and even Hawthorne seemed not too willing to give the most glowing endorsement.)

I'm more a student of inter-World-War era (roaring twenties, great depression, rise of fascism in Europe, all that jazz, literally and metaphorically) historry, but the leadup to the civil war has that same "careening towards disaster" energy that feels all too familiar.

One of the greatest wordsmiths in American history writing a really lackluster memoir of a political candidate known for accomplishing little of note ahead of that politicians worst hour, one which led the country to prepare to start eating itself, is wildly evocative to me

That's so cool!!! Thanks for sharing and I hope they have an awesome adventure :D

Hi it me. The friend of friend. @onio I'm having an absolute blast! Learning HTML has been fun and the next thing I want to tackle is CSS :D

Hi Falco, it looks like you're off to a really great start B) CSS is a lot of fun, and between those two languages there is so much potential for what you can create.

So I can see! I've used some basic stuff for my headings but I just need to find some tutorials that help me nail down some more of the layout aspect.

I like to recommend people check out https://discourse.32bit.cafe/t/resources-list-for-the-personal-web/49 - you might find something helpful there!

Oh you hero! Thank you!
