Blogroll

Due to a lack of time or self management i have not been surfing the 'net for ages. Most of these links are outdated in terms of i have not opened them in months. I have shoved them under "Legacy".

Note for adless YT watching (and adless web browsing in general) use uBlock Orgin. I can say this personally as I use it daily and it works very well. This extention can be installed on the mobile version of Firefox Browser if you want to have portable, adless YT. This feels sketchy on the grounds of YT revenue, but most Youtubers have a Patreon anyways, and Google is Google.

Websites

i-land - This has nothing to do with Apple devices. It appears to be some kind of artsy fartsy point-and-click adventure. It seems goal-less.

Misc. (when I am not linking to the entire site)

Clippy PFP Movement [knowyourmeme.com] - I have not looked into this deeply so far but in light of all the tringulation of your personal life online these days someone said "why not we all change our PFPs to Clippit?" Basis seems to be something about how Clippit, despite arguably being a bad-faith feature, did not try to find out your insecurities and age.

Legacy:

TV Tropes - This website is a wiki of commonly used story elements in media. It is self-depreciating in the way that it claims it will "ruin your life" via unlimited wikiwalk potential. I have experienced this myself.
Alex Parr - This site has the honor of being the first Neocities website i visited. It had a free tier URL so i was able to simply delete the the part before "neocities.org" that says "this is x part of y website" (i hope i have defined a subdomain correctly)
billwurtz - This was a musical artist I had an interest in some years ago. It was when I found out that i liked jazz as until then i thought all jazz was boring chill jazz. Bill Wurtz music is now too empty and not flowing enough compared to my tastes (to make it clear the tastes were the major thing changing here) which is why i have found myself transitioned to smooth jazz, especially The Rippingtons. All music on the site is available gratis. He seems to have dissapeared off Earth, as his last post is roughly three years ago as of writing this.
MelonLand Forum - This is where the cool kidz on the indieweb hang out or smth. Melon has curated a sprawling presence and indieweb community online. That's all I know.
(They have a theme that is better suited for less powerful computers).
KatiePla.net - All I know is that this user seemed to be a newcomer to Neocities. I decided to point to her website to direct extra traffic there and fill this page.
Coffeebug - I had a brief interest in this musical artist for a brief period in '23 or whenever, when I was just getting onto Neocities. She makes all-GM midi compositions and the technical level of her music has increased sharply, especially timing between instruments. I no longer listen to Coffeebug music.
Pinterest - Everyone knows what a Pinterest is
The ✨️internet✨️ used to be* fun - This is a list of articles which i so far imagine to be related some how to why the small handcrafted model of the web needs to return. I say "so far imagine" as I came across this directory some time ago hoping it would help me intergrate into the small web sphere but i still haven't touched a majority of the articles.
The Verge - Modern corpo tech news web site that tries to stay swift and fresh (has been paywalled into oblivion)

Webhosts (where you can host websites)

Neocities - Where we are right now BTW
Nekoweb - We'll make our own personal web host, with blackjack! And hookers! (I've never checked in on what goes on there TBH.)

Youtubers (all legacy links)

Note I am going to bandwagon on here and warn that yes, Youtube are apparently going to machine-verify your age. Note that I am at best a bystander so far in this discussion. However, seeing that YT is popular and gratis, it won't hurt to unlink the two (2) links I have now. Like.....search engines exist. Use them. Maybe this one [flashes hipness licence]. YT's a giant they'll be right there.

(Cobalt (as of 2025, Aug 14) is still down which i see as a big blow to the YT downloaders space.

Just started using yt-dlp and expect good mileage. I also expect updates would be required at an aggressive rate.

I've also heard rumours of the FreeTube client. I personally have yet to use it yet.)

@DeadlyComicsYT - This is a dood that uploads once every sixteen bajillion years and it is among the most artsy fartsy stuff ive seen ever
@MachoBoyANIM - This one is simpler. They have a cool show involving a cute robot girl in a video game. They also upload infrequently.
