Zaydsite now

-

2025-01-24

-

Recently got everything working on the new site, hopefully it doesn't look too boring. I plan to -actually use this thing and not leave it to rot, so subscribe to the Atom feed if you want to get -updates on the shit I say.

-

Everything other than the blog is managed manually, the blog uses Zola. It's pretty cool and makes -it fairly easy to make custom themes compared to other static site generators. There's no JavaScript -on this site and it's kept fairly light in general. Everything should work in browsers like EWW, -w3m, links, etc. All the fonts here are WOFF2 though, so some browsers like Dillo won't fetch those -properly.

-

There is a Tor version of this site available here -if you're not already reading this there. I2P and Yggdrasil might also come soon, not sure about those.

-

There seems to be a bug with importing my Atom feed to RSS Guard making the entries really tall for -some reason, no idea what's causing it, but I'll try to fix that soon.

Server up

-

2025-02-04

-

After waiting way too long, I finally have a server online. Nothing big, just a RPi 5 running -Alpine to provide some services for myself and other. I'm trying to focus on hosting sites -built to be minimal, without the bloat much of the modern web has. It also exclusively serves -on dark/altnets (Yggdrasil and Tor currently, I'll hopefully have I2P stuff running within a -week or so) to promote using that over the clearnet. The service's name is "Midgard", I felt like -that fits the theme of creating a more human web and goes with "Yggdrasil" nicely.

-

Current services are forums (running Simple Machines Forum) and sites (using Caddy). The forums -still have some work that needs to get done (selfhosting jQuery, fixing resource fetching outside -of Tor) but it should fully work on Tor. You can access it -here, but I -have it set so accounts require approval as I'm currently a frequent target of spam commonly -including things I very much do not want to be hosting.

-

I also host personal sites for me and some others.

- -

The home page for Midgard isn't done yet, but it's going to be done soon. -Tor link, -Yggdrasil Link

-

Planned services include Vaultwarden (a password manager) and Forgejo (a Git forge). Not sure -if/when they'll come.

-

If you want a site hosted on Midgard, feel free to reach out to me on XMPP -with a Git repo link, a brief description, and I might set it up for you if the site isn't too big -and bloated and it isn't something I wouldn't want on my machines (please no pedo/zoo shit, no hate -speech or anything like that, no malware obviously). Also don't rely on me too hard for maintaining -uptime. Things have been going fairly smoothly so far but I'm still pretty new to self hosting so -I can't guarantee much in the way of stability.

The Internet Sucks

-

2025-03-24

-

Over the past few years, I have noticed that the internet is in a state of decay. If you've found my -site, there's a fair chance you think the same too, or have at least heard people say this. The -amount of fun one can really have online is rapidly decreasing. Everything has pretty much been -ruined.

-

The problems

-

Bloat

-

The web is bloated. Every time I go to look up something I get dozens of articles containing popups -where I have to agree to getting tracked by every site's 800+ "partners", slowing everything -down. Then there's the JavaShit dependency so many sites have. It's even spread to "small" personal -sites that I have to wait for megabytes worth of JS to load in before I can read anything. My own -site is constantly getting edited in an attempt to make it as easy to use as possible on even the -most barebones browsers.

-

"Social" networks.

-

I hate concept of social media. Microblogging is shit. Short form video content is shit. Instagram -is shit. Reddit is shit. Yes, this very much includes your free and open source "ethical" -alternative. The Fediverse, Bluesky, Nostr, whatever else don't fix this. The idea itself is heavily -flawed no matter who develops it. I have too much to say about this for putting it in here, but to -keep it short, I strongly believe being on those places just slowly makes you more and more -retarded. Everything is optimized to get as many internet points as possible and well thought out -posts that actually express the author's point are discouraged with tiny character limits and -replies from children complaining about how long the text is.

-

Surveillance

-

Shouldn't have to explain this one much, there's surveillance problems on nearly every mainstream -platform that's been treated as normal for as long as it's been around. If you're here, you probably -already have strong feelings about this one.

-

Clearnet

-

I think the clearnet is beyond saving at this point and that we should not make an attempt to rescue -it. The damage has been done and will continue unless you do something about it. Everything is -centralized, and the system is a mess. CAs are centralized and you have to give them full trust to -not do anything bad to your site, which they can do. ICANN is how everybody gets their domains, and -they care more about making money than stopping things like parking for reselling or making the -process more private. It also is harder to work with clearnet hosting than it is to work with an -overlay network, which I see as something that gets in the way of people hosting their own things.

-

How do we fix it?

-

Unfortunately, there isn't a perfect solution to fully escaping the bullshit, but there are things -you and I can do to help.

-

Overlay networks

-

Explore overlay networks like I2P, Tor, and Yggdrasil. There's others out there too. I'll go over -this more in a later post, but to keep it short, Yggdrasil serves as internet done right (and about -how one would expect) while I2P and Tor focus specifically on being anonymous.

-

Write your own site

-

Write a site for yourself and/or your projects! Instead of a Facebook page or a Twitter profile, get -out a text editor and write some CSS and HTML, or even better, XHTML! It really isn't that hard to -do, and you get full control over your own content and design. You can use static site generators -like Hugo, Jekyll, Zola and many more to help if you need to mass produce templated pages. This site -uses Zola, which does have its quirks but I find it to be the best to work with out of the ones I've -tried. If you're running a blog or have other regularly updated content like news or updates, make -Atom (and RSS if you want) feeds too to so your visitors can subscribe to your sites and get those -updates instantly. A lot of static site generators have this built in. I'll tell you to self host so -you're fully independent in the next section, but if you really can't, I can help with getting your -site online over on Midgard.

-

Alternative protocols?

-

HTTP, or the Web, is not the only way of creating a "site" for yourself. There are other protocols, -though all of them (or at least all I know about) are far more minimal than what you can create on a -website even with just XHTML and a stylesheet. I don't have a full list of these protocols, but some -are Gopher, -Gemini, and Nex. -I don't hear much about Gopher nor have I got around to setting up a server for it yet but Gemini -has been gaining a lot of popularity from what I've seen lately. Nex is much more obscure but I like -it for how extremely simple it is, literally just plaintext served over TCP on port 1900.

-

Self Host

-

The best way to get full control over your sites and services is to self host them. Not on some -managed hosting service, not on a VPS, not anywhere in the cloud, actually self hosted on a -machine in a location you can physically access. This way, you have 100% control over your own -things and will truly own your services. Many ISPs do not want people self hosting and will put -people behind CGNATs, but if you use overlay networks and don't host on clearnet, then that won't -really matter. With Tor, hosting your own XMPP server using Prosody is pretty easy and you can throw -an IRCd onto pretty much any network. Running your own media server on Yggdrasil is entirely doable -and I use my Jellyfin running over it daily. Almost any service that doesn't involve S2S can be set -up on Yggdrasil, given that the client software is able to use IPv6.

-

Contribute!

-

If you're able to, start running nodes/peers for I2P, Tor, and Yggdrasil or any combo of -those. Those networks always could use more peers available to help make things faster and more -reliable for everybody.

-

Do it NOW

-

Stop waiting for the current internet to get worse. If you already host a personal site, start -mirroring it on the darknets! For all of them it's as easy as installing the daemons, editing a few -configs for them, and adding the names to your server_name on nginx or the equivalent for your -webserver of choice.

-
-

In the future I'll write a more full guide to the overlay networks, but I feel like this has been -long enough of a rant by now.
