projectm VS neocities

In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, what's the deal with binary symlinking not working? Example, the ProjectM visualizer I downloaded and moved to a more static directory. It runs fine in that directory but when I symlink it via KDE's Dolphin by drag/dropping to my desktop, it does nothing. Same when I try to make a shortcut in KDE's application launcher. Why is it so to be like that for when you do it to get your shortcut?

I think this is the spiritual successor to Winamp's visualiser, ProjectM:

https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm

If you're referring this this ProjectM, then it looks like Steam might be the best option.

It can also be used standalone from this github

Here you go, open-source, stand-alone version of the winamp visualiser: https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm

You might give Milkdrop a try. It started as a Winamp visualization plugin. It has its own scripting language and a ton of presets you can poke at to figure out how things work. I'm not sure what state Winamp is in these days, but Milkdrop has been ported to work as a Foobar2000 plugin called ProjectM. It looks like there's also a standalone version now, too: https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm

You may really enjoy Neocities [0] it is full if websites that you explore.

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

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).
