My website is just a way of sharing information or things I've made, it's not a community or expression thing for me. Never really understood Neocities in that way.

I have been wanting/trying to make a custom imageboard for a long time but maybe that's off-topic.

Well I didn't join neocities for community.

I made a neocities site because I saw it as more flexible and optimal than a platform if I could keep everything organized in plain HTML. I didn't care too much about real-time interactivity like retweets or likes, and I don't have to care as much about an overbearing fediverse admin having controls over my content's visibility.

I can put my blogs, photography, game screenshots, or anything that comes to mind on neocities without having to join different specialized platforms.

>>9041
I used to run an obscure imageboard. I only shared it with anons I played games with. I started with else's software but got better at web dev and made my own. It was a cozy site and taught me a lot about programming. Good memories. I lost interest in it and took it down. I would enjoy working on it again but I can't justify that kind of project now. Not enough time.

I have a Neocities website for art and ramblings but I haven't updated it in a while.
At the beginning I struggled to come up with a design that's pleasing but not busy or eye straining, until I gave up and went with a bare-bones look (pic related) and never looked back. It's simple enough that the HTML can be written by hand while the CSS stays small and readable, no JS needed. Looks comfy and displays nicely on older browsers.

>Just reviewing books and writing some articles
Go with a blog-like layout; tall horizontally centered area containing written content with an optional side menu to the left. Keep the reading area narrow with a relatively small width so reading it is easier, you don't want readers darting their eyes across their HD screen.
>I haven't actually gotten the bravery to try and write an original piece

Thanks for the tips. I originally wanted to just leave the menu at the top, but I like the side option better now that I think about it.

What do you consider non-botnet? Works fine with Tor Browser without JS (same with the rest of the cafe).

I use Links browser on the Linux framebuffer console. Worked fine on 8ch.net, and most other small imageboards until the past few years when they made newer, more complicated captcha designs. I guess most people just accepted the modern browsers and botnet hardware that's required to run them well. But it just never felt good to me, so I avoid it at as much as possible.

>>9299
>I use Links browser on the Linux framebuffer console
Neato, I'm working on a website and have been testing Links and similar browsers to ensure compatibility.
>until the past few years when they made newer, more complicated captcha designs
Does Links not work with form+static image designs?
>modern browsers and botnet hardware that's required to run them well
It is a shame that less powerful computers have been left behind by all the extra cruft added to what was meant to be a mostly plaintext with some images format.

>>9307
It works, but the captcha image in nu-boards often shows up in the browser as a sort of "embed" text link, so you have to navigate forward to see the image, and then back to type in the captcha. And if you don't get it right exactly (hard to remember if it's complicated) then there can be problems to refresh the captcha and get a new one. In fact, when I tried doing the "chess" captcha on /b/ I could never get a new captcha, even despite clearing the memory cache (in the menu: File -> Flush all caches).

Unfortunately (and unlike Lynx browser) there are no settings or anything related to cookies in the Links menus or key bindings. In fact, even the man page doesn't mention cookies.

Wrong browser, that file is for Lynx, but it already has a key to manage the cookie jar: ^K
Links just doesn't have anything at all like that. But it has some advantages over Lynx, such as asynchronous DNS lookups, and the option to display graphics in the framebuffer console or X11.

Opinions?

>>9362
I guess CSS is a bloated enough spec (and its implementations) to leave room for interesting vulnerabilities. Paper talks about a timing attack that could be used for fingerprinting Tor browser with javascript disabled.
Personally I don't even bother with Tor, so this particular attack wouldn't matter to me. But there are problably other kinds of bugs hidden in that big mess. The older, smaller browsers that are just HTML have less attack surface overall.

>>9362
Text browsers don't care about stylesheets, formatting is generally limited to linebreaks and tables, HTML4 seems to be as much support as you get.

>>9355
You can fail the captcha on the cafe and it won't immediately expire, other boards with that software are probably the same.

>>9362
>Opinions?
You can just use M4 macro pre-processor to to just #include files and #define variables (note that it's a bit different from C Pre-Processor). But I still haven't decided whether M4 macros are a good thing or if they are outright harmful. It's worth a shot anyways.

It's always been an issue, but there was a certain fun to the time delay imposed by using a local BBS, international mail our on fidonet, USENET propagation, having to use dialup to check your email, mainly only university and industry dweeps having permanent connections, and so-on.  Heck, member having to wait for the machine to boot instead of just leaving it on all the time?

AmigaOS_1.3.png
[Hide] (3MB, 1440x1080)

>>9445
> waiting for boot
Most of mine were faster than Windows 95 and later crap. In relative order, I went through:
Osborne 1 (my parents' computer): booted CP/M 2.2 from floppy, pretty slow disk drive but CP/M was tiny OS, so no biggie
Amstrad CPC 6128: booted ROM BASIC instantly, and you could also have other softwares in expansion ROMs like word processor or modem comms software (I posted a video here about this last one some months ago). But of course modem is slow, as probably most 8-bit systems couldn't handle > 2400 baud (except maybe with more advanced CPU like the 16 MHz Z80 variant that came out in the 90's).
Amiga 500: kinda slow loading Workbench from floppy disk, but hard disk expansion fixes that.
486DX/33 with DOS: booted pretty quick, because DOS is pretty small. I can't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure most of the boot time was the BIOS shit.
486DX/33 with Slackware: Linux booted much slower than DOS, even though ext2 filesystem was faster than FAT32. Still probably faster than Win95, unless it had to fsck the disk after power failure or crash. Helps a lot the /sbin/init was small & tight and wasn't starting a shitload of processes like today's Linux distros tend to do.
486DX/33 with OS/2: Ugh! Forget it, I  never even got past the install. They said 8 MB RAM miniumum, 16 MB recommended. Don't even bother without 16 MB tbh. I can't remeber the exact oversion of the OS, but this was in 1996.
486DX/33 with Win95: HAHAHAH! This never happened. Fuck Bill Gates! Also I didn't pay for his DOS, because I built my computer from parts and got a pirate copy of MSDOS 6.22 from a friend. But then I found a WaReZ BBS with IBM PC DOS and installed that instead for fun. It was basically the same shit, so whatever. I also downloaded QEMM and Desqview, which came in pretty handy.

>>9447
When AMD released the 486DX/2 80MHz with the 40MHz bus speed, it was mental.  It was almost like getting SCSI drives to replace your shitty IDEs sitting on the same bus and shuffling expansion cards around for IRQ priority.

Nice amiga btw.  The trick with OS/2 was to register for the beta tester program, even if it meant getting a box of 50 5.25s instead of a CD back when CDs were speshul.

>>9362
Just use variables. Don't worry about the autists ITT, using a deprecated browser is a massive security risk anyway.
What is your website about, if you don't mind me asking?

>>9452
>using a deprecated browser is a massive security risk anyway
How could that possibly be true with a browser that only accepts HTML?

>>9454
vulnerabilities have to do with how its programed, its connecting to another computer what you download is irrelevant it can be bad socket code that has a vulnerability or something as stupid as a format string when rendering an html page not to mention those old browsers dont even support https so you have all the standard network vulnerabilities of http which has nothing to do with the browser and since its old with a userbase of ~1 means they wont get reported or fixed and even if they do its unlikely people using outdated browsers even bother with security updates

meant the package description and tags are wrong, i saw https and ftp in the source code, the package is  maintained by a no name rubber stamper not a package team which just shows why using an obscure novelty browser is a security risk no one is actually doing testing or audits and the 5 people that actually use it is too small for serious testing and reporting if any vulnerabilities actually exist

>>9473
>using an obscure novelty browser is a security risk
This could be said of a lot of network using software outside of the mainstream tools and libraries that most people use, even then the attack surface for a browser that renders some HTML and maybe images is arguably smaller than one that tries to support every technology of the modern web, novelty isn't really accurate either as a program like Links or w3m allows very weak/old computers to remain online in some form (and e-waste is already enough of a problem). Since the thread is about website building anons may find this interesting: https://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/
Supporting text browsers isn't about identical presentation (unless you want to put in the work) but ensuring that your site is reasonably accessible without all the bells and whistles, if your HTML is good this doesn't even require much work, IME all I've had to do so far is add some <br> tags and spaces for elements that usually use CSS for layout.

Anyway HTML was designed to decouple content from presentation. So all the ones forcing a certain look (and designing only for latest GUI browsers by FAGMAN) are doing it wrong.
I remember the Any Browser campaign from back when I used to browse slashdot, where they talked about this kind of stuff in the late 90's - early 00's. Not too long after that slashdot itself went full retard with javascript and forcing people to post with ID (or have -1 score and thus be effetively invisible), so I bailed out.

Explain

>>9485

That seems to be the intent for older markup languages, LaTeX including. But nowadays, manuscripts ("the content") tends to be written in Markdown then applied to an HTML template.

After enough time, some things are no longer the best in its design goal, and get used elsehow.

>>9522
Yeah the authoring aspect is a part of it, but what I really meant is HTML wasn't designed to render exactly the same on every browser, or even on every terminal (in the case of text browsers such as Lynx). It was understood that people are using vastly different hardware and browsers, and HTML was adaptable enough to support this kind of environment. But over the years they changed all this. They started trying to force a very particular look, and they started to only design websites for browsers that supported that kind of look. And then they added javascript code that made the website non-functional if you didn't run one of the big monster FAGMAN pieces of shit code.

Recently I've been working on backend code and now my site is no longer static. So far there's not much dynamic content, but eventually I want to make a comments section.

It took a lot of time. I made the backend with some Rust libraries. Also the site is still made with Hugo, so my code just writes json files and then calls hugo. idk if that's the way you're supposed to do it.

- seem to have some type of actual autism. complete inability to understand non-tangible ideas such as figures of speech, metaphors, site culture, and humor.
