My favorite podcast, TrueAnon has uploaded a new episode about the internet!!! Very excited to listen, since this and a lot of other podcasts I like don't tend to cover the issue of the problems with the internet, although trueanon and Behind The Bastards have done good stuff on it.

You can listen to the new TrueAnon episode here:
https://cgru.net/TEMP/TrueAnon-229_Internet-For-The-People.mp3

They are interviewing Ben Tarnoff, author of a forthcoming book from Verso called Internet for the People. Let's have a listen and discussion of the episode? I haven't listened yet but will be while I clean today.

Let me know if you know any other podcasts that have done good in depth episodes on the internet.

there has been over and over again for the past years a bunch of confusion about IPFS and neocities. The blog post and user interface don't really make things much simpler.

If you know the basics of what IPFS is (kinda like bittorrent but the whole internet, not just certain files) then youre probably confused "where is my IPFS backup site:dunno:?"

Well, its actually on a button called "Archives" on your sites page :omg:k:

took me forever to actually find this for some reason, but yeah. It is right there on your sites page.

It is rather weird that the neocities interface doesnt actually have any way for you to search for sites BY NAME, and it also doesnt have a convenient way to get to your sites page. you can get there by going to a url like this:

neocities.org/site/yoursitesname !!!


yoursitesname is the same name as is used in your neocities.org subdomain.

this is also how you can find other peoples site pages and if they have archvies, view their site over IPFS. it is really silly that there isnt the above mentioned functionality but it seems that neocities' dev is awol.

so, i guess i thoguht i would just put this here for people who wonder about it! in my experience, the IPFS archiving works pretty great and is recovered really fast! im pretty impressed with it.

hello!

i made this 3d environment a while ago http://cgru.net/test.html !

it isnt much but a strange world to wander around in. i was going to do more with it, but i was using Blend4Web and blender has now gotten rid of Game Engine :'( also, Blend4Web is just very big, slow, and hard to understand... I did enjoy making this though, not sure if i will do anything more with it. :omg:k:

Hello folks.

I have been working for the past two years or so on a website for hosting music!
I present to you, https://cybergrunge.net !

We have a radio station, over 160 albums uploaded already, and anyone is welcome to add their music
The upload process is a bit arcane right now but i am working on a way to make it easier

A lot of the music is friends of mine and friends of their friends etc. There is a lot of variety
I mainly know artists that do breakcore, noise music, experimental electronic music,
but there is also post-punk, rap, edm, all kinds of other genres on the site.

I get away with this because my host, ionos, doesn't limit my data storage
They do limit the NUMBER of files i can have though to a little under a million, but i'll work around that later

Always trying to improve this site, it is my labor of love
If you have any feedback or ideas to improve it let me know,
you can also sign up for an account to subscribe to the newsletter we put out.

but most of all share music you make! or let musician friends know about it!

Hello!!!

I have used p5.js to create a Random Art Generator on my website. The source code is entirely contained in the iframe for the app so you can look at it and modify it if you want. There are four different "modes", and basically you just click on the mode you want, and a piece of unique artwork for you is made! I have used this for inspiration of album art for some of my music, and friends have used it a bit here and there.

The source material for the Art Generator is a huge dataset (over 8,000 images now!) from the Tinypic Archives, available on archive.org courtesy of ArchiveTeam! The images are randomly combined with various filters applied, cropped randomly, but the chaotic randomness is also selectively designed to produce (mostly) cool results!

You can find use it via the icon for Random Art Generator on the upper left hand User Control Panel on my website, https://cybergrunge.net . If you enjoy it definitely share some of the results you get! I will post some of my results here

Thanks everyone. I hope you like this app, it has been a little project of mine for quite a while. Also if you have any questions about how it works feel free to ask or if you make any cool remixes of the code for your own use share them! hopefully it is inspiring to you
