    I have several domain names, some have websites that I haven’t touched in years, some have email that I equally haven’t touched in years, and some are just ideas that I never followed through on.

    I blog about network stuff, because computer networking is a passion of mine, and I get some okay views on it. Some of the posts are about pretty obscure stuff.

    I’ve been meaning to create a website about good network design geared at home users, and how to make their home network suck less. Strategies on how to run ethernet, whether easy mode or hard mode and the benefits of each, even a subscription on options for renters to do it. Explanations on why your wifi probably sucks and how to improve the situation, etc. Wiki style.

    It’s a lot of writing and I know a lot about the subject matter, so each article would have a companion deep dive article so you can go deeper into why this or that affects your wifi or home network in the way that it does… Etc. But also have practical tips to avoid problems in the main article. It’s an entire concept that I feel like the internet needs, but I have yet to find anyone publishing that kind of content.

    Sure, you can get a bunch of technical detail on Wikipedia, but it doesn’t really explain the real world consequences of things, just how they work. That’s fine if you have an understanding of how things interact, but if you’re new, it’s just a confusing mess.

    I just want to educate people into building better home networks, spending more (and less) money and why you would want to do that, where and when… How to use planning software, etc. Basically, I want to take the entirety of my wireless knowledge and put it out there for anyone to browse and learn from.

    I have smol web Gemini blog that I put up to practise writing regular posts in a low-pressure environment. Mostly themed on the intersection of food, technology and politics. As expected, I’m terrible at updating. I do plan to migrate to WordPress eventually.

      That fortunately reveals nothing. I’m not a fan of asklemmy questions that are phishing/doxxing expeditions, whether intentional or not. I’ve removed some such posts in the past.

        I am not sure what you are on about… ada just said what they are maintaining, like the Lemmy for example.

        I maintain the latest version of my social security number below:

        Heh yeah OP could add disclaimer to understand your threat model, consider your post history, consider the accounts connected to and used by the slice of internet you’re maintaining, etc. and if it’s too complicated to analyze just be safe and don’t share anything at all (or at least make a throwaway, while still realizing a determined party could try to tie it back to you).

        I could be more worried, though, as anything someone really cares about will likely be innocently self-promoted (mentioned in passing) before long. Doesn’t mean it’ll all be in one place like in this thread, but we are mostly worried about determined malicious losers - I think.

    I write a world/setting and host all the notes for it on my own little website. I’m kinda proud of how it is set up: I write things in Obsidian, push changes to a repo, and then a build server picks everything up to turn into a webpage and update the host server. From random thought to website is just a few minutes

    Used to mod several large subreddits on reddit then they banned me for being one of the last protest holdouts. Now I just mod c/neat on lemmy world and post shit I enjoy.

    I enjoy photography as a hobby, and uploaded my photos to my deviantArt gallery up untill about a year ago, I had just got my new camera and uploaded some photos to my gallery when I got damn pissed off, it suddenly hit me how damn slow it was, add to that how they have removed features and just made the site worse over time.

    And with my new camera and larger photos it was just the last straw.

    I just wanted to ho back to the mid 2000s internet with simpler web design not wasting my time with countless scripts and tracking crap.

    I just wanted a simple but good looking index page linking to galleries of my photos.

    So I kicked my HTML/CSS skills into high gear, put w3schools in my browser and started coding, it took a few weeks as I was learning as I went, but i got a nice looking index page with some CSS fun stuff, then I started generating photo galleries with digiKam and uploaded it all to an old school web hotel.

    And I got what I wanted, it is basically instantanious loading pages and content, the galleries I use work excellent with arrow keys and you can even swipe back and forth if you are on mobile.

    The index page looks fantastic on desktop, but is a jumbled mess on mobile, I don’t care, it is my page and I am happy with it.

    It is a semi private page, I don’t advertise it, but I have it on my CV to show my hobby.

      Care to share?

      I haven’t been on dA for at least 10 years. I used to upload to Flickr regularly, but now everything I post is on IG and I keep telling myself I will make a photo portfolio someday.

        I should be able to remove my name from the code and upload it to Github.

        Word of caution though, you can only edit the page in by editing the HTML code directly.

    I have the world record for the most sites having signed up for and hold an active VIP presence on a number of them, though I don’t have my own sites, with a wiki explaining the record and its sole holder possibly being the main close call, though the fact I’m signed up on said wiki presents a conflict of interest with its existence.

    This account. On a large instance that I don’t own. Not ideal in a pure sense, but the admins and mods do a lot of work that I don’t want to do, so I’m fine with it.
