Neocities

So I happened to be thinking about AI mass-scraping the internet to feed hungry LLMs, and I suddenly wondered... is my Neocities page available for those monsters? After a little reading online, and testing a search on Duckduckgo, I discovered (a) yes it probably is available to AI and (b) it is also available for search engines. Supposedly this code prevents it

Well it didn't let me post the code < meta name = " robots " content = " noindex , nofollow " > remove the spaces

Some great info on the code is available here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/meta/name/robots

ended up using noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nocache, noimageindex, nosnippet

This assumes someone hasn't done something as evil as this scumbag who publicly recommends feeding someone's raw html into a chatbot: https://medium.com/@datajournal/automate-web-scraping-with-chatgpt-685667e31f24

Your site is very interesting to me because I can relate so much to what you say. I too have always felt like a black sheep, and I have never found my place in the modern internet, which I now feel is too distant and artificial. I don't have any social media accounts, and I'm really nostalgic for the old web, for the days when the web was more genuine and magical. That's why I love Neocities, a little time portal!

Got a lovely message from theprophat in my guestbook. To answer your question, I've never owned a smartphone. Over the years I've gone through a few different dumbphones. I've used this Nokia phone for about a year now. The phone comes with some games (including Snake!). Before then, I used a cricket flip phone that sucked (had the KaiOS operating system - avoid if you can!) More info on my dumbphone tips page :)

Just discovered your site - so much to see! I do not know anything about marine biology but the ocean is a special place. I will have to poke around more on your site when I have a little time :)

One of the historical event that terrifies me was the dumping of tons of radioactive materials directly to Lake Karachay in 1950's, about 60km away from Chelyabinsk. It's worse than Chernobyl, but since it's too far away from Europe, no one noticed and no one made a HBO series about it. I mean, the whole carelessness of handling nuclear stuff during that era is shocking in today's perspecitve.

Hey Lankarta just saw your reply. I am nearly always interested in historical events so I will definitely have to check it out - thanks for the suggestion!

I have been busy in the "real world" though I'm considering updates to my page when I have time. Gladly taking suggestions for how to categorize the info in my "Links" page :)

Not a book but about Haiti I watched Polish documentary youtube channel 'Bez Planu' who made a very accurate vlog series about the country showing the current situation and regular life in Port au Prince and Cap Haitien while talking a bit about the modern history and why its so unstable.

Also I really like the mixup of New York and Adelaide - so creative and interesting to wonder what it would be like to juxtapose two geographical settings. And.... thank you for the different themes, as I always prefer dark themes and you have a nice one

Thank you so much! I love yours too and I can't wait to go through in depth. You have a fantastic instinct for anthropology. David Graeber is my hero/ who I hope to think like one day. Debt is an amazing book but very long- I don't know if you've read Bullshit Jobs yet, but if you haven't, that's a great place to start with Graeber's work. <3 I don't have a button (yet) but i'm working on making one!!
