Bad news: the 1GB bandwidth usage that some of us are seeing is probably AI scrapping our sites. Neocities don't have any measures to prevent this, Nekoweb does.

Just realized this when I saw that my favorite astrology site has banned unregistered users from making charts due to AI bots overwhelming their servers and eating up a lot of bandwidth with all the scrapping.

It can also be crawlers indexing and updating your urls for search engines and your pages and assets being retrieved in search results. If you create a new site your robots.txt have a full list of known AI crawlers being blocked (probably the same being used by Nekoweb), but it would be up to you to keep updating it - and if you created your site before Kyle updating the default robots.txt, then you don't have it.

Yeah, Nekoweb approach to it is way better, but you can prevent it on Neocities by updating the robots.txt.

@pirahxcx I didn't know that robots.txt existed, thanks. But I don't think all of the bandwidth usage it's just search engines, considering the AI shithole we're living in.

Thank you. I'm thinking about trying Pop!_OS just because of their new desktop environment, I even out of nowhere got an extra USB drive sent by the universe to do it, I almost did it today, but just thinking about the troubleshooting I got demotivated... your blog makes it seem really easy though, gonna make a bootable USB first just to test hardware compatibility though

Survey: Would it better to implement English translation only to the main pages and add the articles, blog entries and fanfics later; or wait to implement the translation only when absolutely everything has been translated? Right now, I have only the main pages translated. The articles, blogs and fanfics are very time consuming, I don't know when I'll be done with them.

as someone who has an 80+ pages worth in a chapter of a comic and been working on translating it for months now, yes please just publish the main pages and work on the other pages whenever you wish to. if you focus on translating everything you won't be able to update!
