I'd post the cover but for some reason it seems like it won't let me upload the picture... (under 500kb jpg)

@lefarfadet Thanks for letting me know.. that was odd as that is the link on the cover.

Here is the link for the publisher site then: ohnothingpress.com/creeper

gah! all I want is a html enabled newsletter that stores the email in an online html/css styled archive and generates an RSS feed containing the whole email as well... and is something I can host myself so I don't have to use a service that will suddenly close its doors in 3 years.

I'm asking for too much. I know.

none know how to get GNU Mailman to archive the HTML version of the mail rather than the plain text? I know - safety etc but have a thong I want to play with but need that function first. :/

@lefarfadet
ah no. not Facebook and such. free as in free but running thanks to donations etc. geocities is gone, neocities is the spiritual replacement. meant neo. :)

so yea. SDF, NeoCities, the Tilde clubs, ... I guess the majority of BBS and social MUDs instances count.

@starbreaker@mastodon.sdf.org Ah, meant to write NEO not GEO ;P It just kinda blends in my head some times, spent a fair bit of time on G back in the day.

And did have a look at SDF - was interesting but seemed like 99% of the things happening were happening on the US SDF server, no the Europe one (hosted in Germany if I remember right?).

So, there are some places online that offer community and free webhosting without adverts and other BS...

GeoCities, and the TILDE clubs. Anyone know of any other examples? It just such a joy to see these places and the people that make up their genuine communities! :D

For the enthusiast I recommend having a look at
LainZine.

It got its starting inspiration from the 90s Serial Experiments Lain but has so much more goodness to offer!

They also host their site on Neocities (the Geocities spiritual successor). Which is cool.

anyone have any experience with SubQ magazine? it's an "interactive magazine for interactive fiction"... definitely a novel idea and uses a public model for funding - so have a look if you enjoy IF. I'm definitely going to once I am back on a computer.

Mechanical keyboards are an expensive hobby... but damn it, I need to get my hands on a 60% with Kailh BOX White (tell me that isn't a brand of drugs) switches. 😂

For the and fan -- there is AI Dungeon 2. An interactive fiction game that uses a neural network to handle what ever it is you insist on doing! :D (there is also an "uncensored" version)

It styles itself as "the dumbest publishing platform on the web" but there is something nice about the simplicity of it... txt.fyi/about/

big fan of short stories. already reading Black Static + Interzone semi-regular, and buy the odd copy of Apex. but are there any good out there? speculative meets horror goodness...

I have an email address... so could I call my mastodon @@ a tootdress?

Definitely more coffee is required for further operation of the jello mold someone substituted for my brain this morning.

Thinking of trying Dada Mail instead as there is definitely some ill will towards poMMo... bad experiences, and security issues aplenty it seems.
