|
This is the 0th edition of Smallnet Zine (April Edition). The point of this is |
|
to just blab about the state of the smallnet, indieweb, and self-hosting. |
|
Originally I had this idea to start something called netring.cafe, which was a |
|
cool idea, but I really already have too much on my plate at-the-moment. So now |
|
I'm just going to use a tag on my phlog to act as a zine: |
|
|
 |
bestofsmallnet tag |
|
|
|
You should also check out my lawn for links. You can reach out to me to get your |
|
content featured there and see other people's cool smallnet/indieweb/self-hosted |
|
stuff there: |
|
|
|
someodd's lawn |
|
|
|
If you want to be featured just contact me or join my IRC/XMPP, just check |
|
contact section at the root of my gopherhole: |
|
|
|
someodd's gopherhole |
|
|
|
## Spotlight |
|
|
|
I actually want to make an effort to archive these to: |
|
|
|
My person archive in gopherspace |
|
|
|
So keep an eye out for that... |
|
|
|
### chud.cyou |
|
|
|
This guy definitely has some kind of background in 4chan or imageboards. He |
|
actually hangs out in |
|
|
 |
my IRC. |
|
|
 |
Chud Airspace |
|
|
|
Oldnet style website--actually kind of cool. He self-hosts various services, I |
|
believe, like the website, Mumble, a Wiki, git, an upload service called |
|
"UpChud." From what I've seen this website is pretty funny. To my surprise, I |
|
also find on his homepage he includes a link to me! |
|
|
|
CHudHome |
|
|
|
He also has an IRC server at `irc.chud.cyou`! |
|
|
|
## webamp |
|
|
|
Webamp |
|
|
|
Classic webamp in the browser. |
|
|
|
This isn't technically smallnet nor self-hosted, but I don't care and I'm |
|
featuring it here, anyway. |
|
|
|
### Cameron's world |
|
|
|
Cameron's World |
|
|
|
A cool geocities-looking art project from what I can tell. Cool thing to |
|
explore. |
|
|
|
### Mozz.us |
|
|
|
This guy has some of the coolest content in gopherspace. He has games, a flash |
|
archive, etc. I believe it's all self-hosted. |
|
|
|
Mozz.us gopherhole |
|
|
|
Another guy hanging out on my IRC server. |
|
|
|
### Wired Sound |
|
|
|
WIRED SOUND |
|
|
|
A neocities website that's an homage to Lain (a cyberpunk anime). |
|
|
|
### htmlenergy |
|
|
|
HTML Energy |
|
|
|
> HTML energy is all around us and in this very website. |
|
> |
|
> Building websites has become complex, but the energy of HTML persists. |
|
> |
|
> What makes HTML special is its simplicity. |
|
> |
|
> HTML isn’t a vast language, yet you can do a lot with it. |
|
> |
|
> Anyone who wants to publish on the web can write HTML. |
|
> |
|
> This accessibility and ease of use is where its energy resides. |
|
> |
|
> Who’s writing HTML today? |
|
|
|
### frstcomputer.com |
|
|
|
Bespoke computer store in gopherspace |
|
|
|
A boutique computer with a boutique shopping experience via Gopher! |
|
|
|
### 250kb.club |
|
|
|
250kb.club |
|
|
|
My friend showed me this. Web pages that are under 250KB in size. |
|
|
|
> The 250KB Club is a collection of web pages that share certain values, |
|
> especially a focus on performance, efficiency, accessibility and |
|
> sustainability. |
|
|
|
### Melon Land, Melon King |
|
|
|
This guy is a indieweb artistic genius. |
|
|
|
MelonLand forums |
|
|
|
This forum looks **amazing**. It's centered around indieweb type things. I |
|
talked to him about this in an interview and he said he found some really old |
|
software and themes. |
|
|
|
melonking website |
|
|
|
Amazing website, very artistic indieweb experience like none other. |
|
|
|
