Slowly building up my Neocities. I'm really liking how it looks so far! Very different from Wordpress but, in a good way.

On a bit of a hiatus. I am doing a bit of webring maintenance today but aside from that I won't be too active for a bit.

How have I not gotten into junk journaling sooner?! This is AMAZING. 😍

We can not force the world to change for us. We need to change ourselves if we want to change the world.

It feels so unreal to look out the window and see wildfire smoke becoming a regular thing. This was pretty much unheard of around here til last year. Not sure what's changed in the last year or two but this isn't normal. Makes me think someone's intentionally setting fires across Canada.

Seriously contemplating leaving Wordpress and building my entire site from scratch. Should I do it?

For anyone who was interested in the work Joe Felz was doing before he was suicided, some friends have continued his mission and reuploaded his work here: https://felzlegacy.com/books

One of my biggest pet peeves is that every product of today thinks they deserve to be a subscription service when they aren't even providing a service, they're providing a finished product and just want you to pay infinitely to use it. It's pure greed.

So sunburnt today. Went to the beach and got to play with the snails and hermit crabs. I love the little sea critters. <3

On a WILD trip. I finally ditched Windows for Linux, hopefully for good this time, and somehow Linux has revealed files I deleted on my external hard drive about 15 years ago and these files are all now recoverable. I'm absolutely dumbfounded right now.

Webring Maintenance Today! Anyone who hasn't updated their widgets since the switch will need to reapply for membership.

The anti-New World Order masterlist for building your sovereignty online and offline. https://thecozy.cat/sovereignweb/freedom-privacy-resources/ Still under construction.

Currently working on a freedom & privacy masterlist of resources. I think this might be my magnum opus.

The current state of things for android users. https://keepandroidopen.org/ Fight against it and look into custom OS, like Graphene OS.

The bills that Canada's looking to pass right now are beyond dystopian. They might as well change our anthem at this point because this is no longer the true north "strong and FREE". Absolutely speechless.

I think cyberdecks are the coolest thing I've discovered since the indie web. I really want to build one!

Neocities is back up.

If anyone is looking for alternatives for Neocities, getting a dedicated hosting provider helps prevent things like this. Yes, it will cost money, but most hobbies do, and it's worth the sense of security in not losing everything you've made. Hostinger is great, if ya'll want a recommendation. I've used them for over half a decade. They're great.

My site is somewhat becoming an ode to one of my favorite childhood games Maplestory. The Book Ring is almost fully back. Still need to add the community RSS feed and finish the join page, but the webring itself looks to be fully functional. Will have the Free Speech Webring & Sovereign Webring back up in June.

My site isn't salvageable. I feel so heartbroken. 3 years, gone overnight. My backups are infected. I'm going to have to start from scratch.
