<h2>Moving to ambersplace.net</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>July 7th, 2025</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I bought a domain! Finally! And a VPS to host this site on! I've wanted to self-host this site for ages, but
|
|
with my current housing situation that really isn't feasible. So, I got a VPS through racknerd.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>My friend <a href="https://nova.gay/" target="_blank" aria-label="opens external site in a new window">
|
|
nova</a> reccomended them to me, cause she hosts her site and matrix server with them. I got a VPS with
|
|
2 gigs of ram, 2 cpu cores, and 30gb of storage for like $17 a <i>year</i>, which is wild.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've set both ambersplace.github.io and ambersplace.neocities.org to redirect to ambersplace.net. That way
|
|
all my friend's links to my site will still work.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The web server I'm using is <a href="https://www.lighttpd.net/" target="_blank"
|
|
aria-label="opens external site in a new window">lighttpd</a>. It's a server I've used in the past and it is
|
|
simple to use. I don't like to build systems that I don't understand lol.
|
|
|
|
<p>I removed the references to neocities and github from the homepage, and once again adjusted it. I'm still not
|
|
happy with it, but it's better. I also changed the disclaimer text at the bottom to clarify the way my new
|
|
setup logs information. The way it's set up is default lighttpd behavior. I've also fixed the
|
|
<a href="computers.html">computers</a> page, which was missing text for my new laptop.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>UPDATE:</b> I have started logging request info, and changed the text accordingly.
|
|
This is so I can detect AI/scraper/bot uses and mitigate them.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the personal side, it's going better. Been moving around a lot, and that's not going to stop, but I'm
|
|
doin ok. I'd like to have my server/nas set up again soon, but we'll see.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Anyways, that's all I have for now. Big changes! Good stuff! See y'all :3</p>

<h2>Hello hello!</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>January 10th, 2025</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've added a blog! Been meaning to do that for a while, and I finally had something good to write about.
|
|
It may seem simple, but that took me multiple days to figure out. Modern internet moment ig.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I also did some slight changes to the home page, nothing major.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now, personal time. I've been getting my life back together, getting things sorted out. It's going pretty
|
|
okay. We'll see how it goes from here.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I appreciate ya'll being here.<p>

<h2>Hey.</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>December 17th, 2024</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'm still figuring out how to live after everything that happened. I'll probably never live in that house
|
|
again. We've got a new place now, and we're settling in, but it's just been pretty stressful lately.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Anyways, I've begun to start a small, portable collection of things again. This is probably it, tbh, but
|
|
I'll keep y'all updated. I've updated the computers and minidisc pages with the new finds.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I also plan to add some sort of photography page. I've lost most of my gear, but I have things to say
|
|
about what I still have. So get ready for that.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've finally replaced the index header image. Been meaning to do that for a while. Finally found a pic of
|
|
Hibari-kun I like, thats big enough. Who would have thought that an 80s, somewhat obscure anime/manga would
|
|
only have low resolution images online.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'm here, I'm safe, and I appreciate y'all. See you soon.</p>

<h2>Hello.</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>October 4th, 2024</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You may have noticed that some new text has been added to the hoard pages. My house was completely destroyed
|
|
in hurricane Helene. I am still reeling from this, honestly. Consider the hoard page an archive. I don't think
|
|
I will be collecting anything again in a long time. I don't trust this area not to destroy everything again.
|
|
I'll update the pages with everything I end up with, and I'll add what I had but never uploaded. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Don't worry, me and my family and my cats are all okay.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Also, cohost is officially dead. I used a tool called <a target=”_blank”
|
|
href="https://github.com/cpsdqs/cohost-dl" aria-label="opens external site in a new window">cohost-dl</a> to
|
|
download an arhive of my cohost page. It's pretty large so we'll see if github pages will allow me to upload
|
|
it here. If not, I'll update this paragraph accordingly.</p>
|
|
<p>It really sucks that cohost is gone. I'll miss it. I loved it.<p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Sorry for the sad article, but it reflects how I'm feeling these days. I love y'all. Stay safe.</p>

<p>"Holy shit, an update that didn't take 3 months" - ambersplace viewer </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I updated the computers page. I'll be adding images soon. At some point I'll be updating the minidisc page,

my collection has grown substantially.</p>

<h2>Hello again</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>September 10th, 2024</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some small updates today. Added a new friend, radmin. Also updated my socials, as I gave up tumblr and cohost
|
|
is dying. I'm very sad to see it go. I've added my mastadon for the meantime, I've never really had it stick for
|
|
me but hey, we'll see.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Happy 9/11 tomorrow.</p>

<h2>A bit of work for once</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>March 4th, 2024</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I really can't keep up with this thing huh. I hope to do more but I've moved things around. Watch your step.
|
|
I've also linked my cohost, as I've become more active on it ever since tumblr's ceo decided to have a temper
|
|
tantrum over a tgirl transition timeline. Haven't deleted my tumblr yet but I've been thinking about it a lot.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I rewrote the intro to the site on the main page cause I haven't really liked it for a while. This one more
|
|
accurately portrays my current feelings lol. I've also finally removed the vestigial <i>media.html</i> as it's
|
|
purpose is long gone.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'm strongly considering just getting rid of the neocities mirror cause neocities doesn't really work for me.
|
|
They do good work and I'm glad for what they do for people, especially newcomers to the web space, but their
|
|
tools just don't work for me very well. I can't upload some things that I'd like and updating my site on there
|
|
is a pain. I'll keep doing it for now though. We shall see.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Thanks for reading and I hope you see some good today.</p>

<h2>Site restructuring</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>January 9th, 2023</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hello! It has once again been a hot minute!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've decided to come back and work on the site once more. I'm working on some restructuring that I've been
|
|
meaning to do for a while. The plan is to add a lot more info about the various electronics I own, and seperate
|
|
this into it's own section. The MiniDisc section will be moved here. Been considering calling it "the hoard."
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've modified the hompage some to simplify it as I found it quite busy, and moved my socials from their
|
|
own page to the homepage.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've also found a tool called <a target=”_blank” href="https://github.com/tatsumoto-ren/bashcities"
|
|
aria-label="opens external site in a new window">bashcities</a> (thanks lisa!) that allows me to manage the
|
|
neocities mirror from a git repo. This will allow me to merge the codebase for the github mirror and neocities
|
|
mirror. Hopefully this will make things easier for me.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You may also notice that the link to the media section is gone from the homepage. The page is still there
|
|
but no longer serves much purpose as neither github nor neocities allows hosting media on their sites. This may
|
|
change in the future, but for now, it wont be easily accessible.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am looking in to self hosting, but that may not work out. Potentially a reverse proxy could allow me to
|
|
hide my ip, but we will see.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I also changed the color outside the content for a nicer look.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Thanks for reading!~</p>

<h2>Fixes and new MiniDisc Content</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>April 18th, 2022</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hello! It's been a minute but I'm finally doing a bit more work on the site. Life's been crazy lately.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've made a fix to the <a href="media.html">media</a> page that allows it to scroll properly. I'm not sure how
|
|
that evaded me for so long. I've also shortened the line length of all html files to 130 characters. It doesn't
|
|
make a usability difference, but it makes me happy. I've italicized the date of news posts as well.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've also added some new content to the <a href="minidisc.html">minidisc</a> page, mainly photos but some new
|
|
text as well. The images aren't clickable to open a larger version in a new tab yet, I accidentally deleted
|
|
the fullres versions and need to re copy them from my phone. That's what I get for working on the production
|
|
version.</p>

<h2>Initial update</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Jan 25th, 2022</i></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hello! I've decided to make a news section as there's a lot of weirdness with hosting right now.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've done some hosting on neocities.org and now github, but neither allow me to host media. Neocities has
|
|
filetype restrictions and github has filesize restrictions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It's quite annoying. I do have a self-hosted copy of the site, but I don't have a domain for it, and my public
|
|
ip isn't stable, so I can't give it out.
|
|
|
|
<p>Some recent changes include the github mirror (<a href="https://ambersplace.github.io/" target="_blank"
|
|
aria-label="opens external site in a new window">ambersplace.github.io</a>) and some font optimizations. The
|
|
site should load faster and cleaner now.
|
|
|
|
<p>That's all from me today. Thanks for browsing.</p>
