Thriving creative community. Neocities

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned neocities (https://neocities.org/). It's open source (https://github.com/neocities).

Compare the copy on the landing pages and it’s pretty obvious

https://pages.cloudflare.com/

https://neocities.org/

If you are curious to find more interesting stuff, start here: – https://mojeek.com/ search engine with own index, totally different results - https://wiby.me/ another search engine, but "old school" kind of web sites. It does not mean that site cannot be new, but it just looks and feels like old school web pages. Funny way is use that "surprise me..." link there to find something - https://peelopaalu.neocities.org/ loooooots of interesting and random strange links to dig deeper on internet than just the sugar coated google-friendly web (aka. ad-friendly commercial web) - https://neocities.org/ the web page where is lots of sites hosted as somebody else already shared this as well there on comments - https://koshka.love/links.html Koshka's web page and its links to find more random stuff. There are interesting opinion texts on his site as well.

Neocities has taken steps to try to improve small personal web site discoverability, which ends up being like a platform for people making web sites with a hybrid social component https://neocities.org

I like the idea of calling this the small web, I usually go with something like "personal web site" or "home pages" but it's never quite stuck for me. I hope they've added Neocities to the Kagi small web search because there's some pretty incredible sites available for that: https://neocities.org/browse

Similar to neocities, but novel choice to allow the user to upload file(s) as part of the sign up process.

If you'd like some free web space to try it out, I highly recommend Neocities, which provides static reliable website hosting (should say I don't work for them they just happen to be my web host and have been very good).

> CDNs

If you think IPFS is trying to "re-spin CDNs as their invention", I'm pretty sure you misunderstand what IPFS. The homepage is a great starting point if you're curious rather than antagonistic: https://ipfs.tech/

> IPFS doesn't solve persistence of data

I don't think it claims to solve this either? What it does claim to solve is the persistence of identifiers of data.

> doesn't solve churn in p2p systems

What P2P system has ever done so or even claimed to have done so?

We will create a web app that will let users mint a NFT in one click: creating an AI art from a prompt, storing it on IPFS and mint the unique NFT in Polygon so you can see it on OpenSea. Pretty cool right ?

IPFS, which stands for Inter-Planetary File System, is a decentralized storage system where files are distributed among peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. It operates on a "content addressable" model, meaning that each file is given a unique hash that serves as its identifier. By using this hash, you can retrieve any file from any IPFS node in the network.

Like this? https://ipfs.tech/

Was thinking of something and figured it would be a good opportunity to ask here. With the censorship madness going on in the world and furry community included, I often worry if even places like e621 can remain free and open in the face of increasing pressure by increasingly angry and authoritarian crowds. For both this and other geek reasons I've been interested in decentralized internet technology for a long time, following projects like IFPS which I just love as a concept.

Using the Interplanetary File System, a real thing that exists today, designed for this purpose.

I post a lot about IPFS, I was using the 'ipfs mount' to virtually offer my entire collection from my NAS (on a private 'swarm' of course) to the remote stations.
