I guess I might post an article (almost) out of nowhere. I don't think most of you will probably read it though.

Also, y'all should vote to abolish the lowercase xi letter, fuck that little torando fucker, for fucking fuck's sake.
It's update time again. I have changed a few things, most of them are minor fixes and updates. The biggest change (aside from the usual Lainchan webring update) is to move the "friends of the website" section from the Links to the main page as small banners at the end of the page, as well with other things linked there. Unfortunately, I didn't have any finished text to post for this update, maybe in the next one.
I have been a bit busy rewriting one of my projects these days. New updates (and maybe a new post) are coming soon.

I'm working on an Atom feed on my website, actually I have been working for some time. Well, for some reason it isn't recognized through Firefox-based browsers. At least the feed works on an RSS feed reader. I tested that on newsboat, and I don't have any issues. I might try a graphical one for images and such things.

What's the point of an rss/atom feed when you don't update often? I similarly pondered the many mirrors...

Well, the point of the website since I made it was to learn how to work with HTML, CSS etc. The reason is similar for the feed. As for the mirrors (I'm talking about the clearnet ones), I also host the website to my own server as well, and I keep it here as a backup these days. And the other version of it is in the git repository for it.

Having concrete goals associated with the more nebulous or grand ones helps. I do that too. However, few actually study html specification documentation, most often you want to get something to look roughly like how you imagine it. But if you don't have anything to say, you end up learning not much or not at all. E.g., you could write why you dropped the cli assistant. A suggestion.

The lainchan webring seems more like a group of people with nothing to say that enjoy gifs, static and scanlines, and neon colors over dark backgrounds. The core has shifted massively over the last 2--4 years (when I'd first visited), or has moved on/died.

Yes, it's bad that lots of people in the webring don't have much to say. By the way, thanks for the suggestion. I haven't thought about that.

You could guess somebody older than 12--14 years, who's clicked 'follow' would be interested in whatever the other has to say. And if they are not, they can unfollow to reduce clutter and useless information.
The alternative seems to be child-minded ones and actual children, more interested in buttons, color schemes, extremely edge-y things (e.g.: my name is pain the hedgehog and i play roblox), gif and animations. Just write.
The reason I said that most of you will not probably read it is because of the language. It's not in english, but something I have written in my native language, for my native language.
As the Germans say: 'Ach so'; well that renders the written a useless response. Translation is oft tricky, if you don't feel as home with whatever target language. I can say I'm sure to glance over it at least :D
The text is about some issues with greek (my native language) and how it sucks on computers. I have already uploaded the text on another website (https://kill-9.xyz/harmful/software/greek_language), but I'll add a small explanation about it as well, in english.
I'm reminded of how sometimes I'll find chinese or japanese comments among rather strangely, unhelpfully unintuitively named variables and functions in radom source code on github.
