New outfit! Today is International Decora Day, and Decora is my favourite-ever style! So here goes. Don't forget to force-refresh (e.g. shift+reload action) if you visited this section recently! ^w^

Reminder that because of this album the boner apocalypse is a canon ETunes in-universe event that kickstarted the remixing of the entire reality and the eventual incrementation of the universe generation index. Wanna know why? LISTEN TO THIS SHIT

@nobodylovesme many thanks, it was intended to be a shitpost magnum opus and it's the rare case of me not hating my production too!
neocities is being tremendously slow for me. anyone else affected? if so, looks like another wave of crawlers is on the loose...

yeah, it's most certainly ai crawlers scraping our websites for their slop machines. i'm not sure how come kyle not have done anything about it, i'm starting to feel like even neocities is not the internet i dreamt of. sad shit

In all honesty, I don't think you should rely on a singular website of being the internet you dreamt of. The internet I dreamt of is being a sprawling chaotic mess of individuality, covered on many corners of the web. That's the web I grew up with. Just like Geocities when it was still alive, it wasn't the only thing on the web. Shit, I remember old Angelfire sites, and self-hosted sites.

@tsugato i don't see logic. NC is a hosting with additional (barely relevant) features. A hosting first and foremost, for people to run their own unique separate sites on. Are you saying i should instead pay for 5 hostings and run 5 different websites for whichever reason? I think a better solution is to at least attempt preventing crawlers from abusing this one hosting, which is supposedly what i pay for.

Neocities is not a "website". it's literally a "hosting" with *a bit* of "social networking" screwed on top of it, which at least i barely use. I see it as a perfect middle ground solution for user-made web, but now the AI bots are making my site unusable. How is this a problrem of using a popular hosting? Diversifying my choices will do jack shit, not like neokweb etc aren't scraped. This crap is everywhere.

I'm not saying you should be running 5 hosts or jumping ship from Neocities. I was just pointing out how the old web was more fragmented, which gave it resilience. I totally get the frustration with the current wave of AI trash scraping everything, we're on the same page there. I just don’t think Neocities alone can carry the dream of a better internet if it gets bottlenecked by this kind of bullshit.

Also, I agree 100000000% on the fact, that Neocities should be preventing any sorts of AI scraping. It messes with a LOT of SHIT.

added my pride weekend fit. it's been so long since i wore actual not-lazy decora!!! i wish i could stop working and live life a little bit more. I'm also nearly done with neomanager, so soon enough i will be redeploying this gallery and the kandi museum with that -- maybe then i will post more stuff, since it's gonna be more immediate...

Stability shit + logging/checksumming added. The tampered saves can still be forged back into "clean" ones, though - try to do that if you wish for a small challenge!

(don't worry, i don't get to see anything time-related unless you send me your save. it's there mostly to help me recreate the sequence of events in case of a crash)

Oh, also now save files are LZ-compressed and take waaaay less space than the b64 overhead hell it was before, even with logging and all. It's insane how much a good compression algorithm can do. Obviously, the implementation of THIS thing is by someone else, i'm no good with complex algorithms.

Now you can change the image size-position and tweak filters individually per pane! I also linked to this thing from the sitemap. It's far from ready, but not as explosive as before. The renderer shits itself half of the times though, so, screenshot your stuff for now i guess
also a QoL improvement cause now stuff changes AS you drag sliders etc, not after you finish doing so.. took me a while to change a few attribute names lmfao
almost thought this was a grid layout generator. this is really cool!!
@kkbkkb what's a grid layout generator? My friend needed this sort of tool for her work so i made it. As a bonus now i can make Sailor Moon fan-collages with glitter or whatnot, and so can you
something like this: https://layout.bradwoods.io/ or this: https://cssgridgenerator.io/ :3
