Neocities is currently down, and this is what they posted on their Bluesky:

"We're working on the DNS outage. It's not technical - someone is trying to legally attack us and Namecheap took down the domain. More details later."

bsky.app/profile/neocities.org

Update: There are more news: bsky.app/profile/neocities.org

Summary: this is all a very weird mix-up, not an attack against Neocities, and both Neocities and the not-actually-attacker are trying to get Namecheap to fix it.

Update 2: Neocities is back up!

bsky.app

Neocities (@neocities.org)

Early this morning, we received an email from @namecheap.com that the domain neocities.org was being suspended because of a court order from New Delhi, India (a jurisdiction we don't operate in), which was for an unrelated court order about a sports streaming site on a different domain.

@navi@hey.pomnavi.net · Reply to Viy Sitante @ health "break"

@vsitante yeah moving to mastodon/fediverse is the best thing that's ever happened for my mental health.

I'm still informed about the news and stuff because I choose to seek it out when I'm ready, not just having the world's slop shoved right at me.

I feel like they're going through the shit-cycle faster now with bluesky, without learning anything 😮‍💨

I understand that there were some difficulties adopting mastodon, but tossing it for bluesky makes me realize that people can be so unserious.

I currently host a FreshRSS (RSS feed reader) instance, and I'm open to letting my mutuals use it too as a free service.

You can use it to follow as many RSS feeds as you like! I think RSS feeds are an important way of interacting with the web that is unfortunately overly monetized.

If you'd like to be added, let me know!

Just understand that I am not a professional sysadmin, and I'm running this as a hobby project:

  1. If I have to shut it down, I'll give you ample warning (to the best of my ability).
  2. You have to be okay with me having access to your data, because I'm running this on my VPS.
  3. Please don't follow anything that will get us in legal trouble.

Dryad, a poster illustration for the Geek Faeries Festival.

A digital painting with an artwork showing a dryad, silver hair and leaf-tipped ears in a sunlit forest. Also living vines curl around her shoulders and torso and a small purple bird perches on her shoulder. Golden grass gives a good saturation boost in the yellow in the background.

French edition of Legend of the Galactic Heroes is beautiful

Reinhard and Kircheis in warm yellow orange foregrounding the image, with their ships in the background. They are back-to-back, facing away from each other though Kircheis is glancing backwards at Reinhard.

@geraineon posted about this on their account on priv but can't hurt to share:

Legend of Galactic Heroes is getting a new gorgeous edition in French from Mahô Éditions:

"This new French edition will offer the series in light novel format, illustrated by the Japanese artist @t0mat0juice , whose style pays homage to the original work while giving it a fresh visual identity. The French edition will be offered in a double format, for a total of 7 volumes."

From LB: "In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike.... The Foundation has spent twenty years telling donors it is not like other tech companies. The union drive is the moment when that claim either becomes true or admits it was always marketing." https://medium.com/@jakeorlowitz/wikipedia-is-doing-the-capitalist-thing-56a393232943

Thank you EVERYONE who came to see me at Manga Ichiba! Friends and folks I've seen at other events I've been a part of-- it all means so much to me to see how wide of a support group I have!! I know I'm not alone in my art adventure but it's easy to forget since the things I make are mostly for myself. My doujinshi is a silly little thing that I didn't expect to really have appeal but you sure showed me what's up!!

I'm so happy I could bring something to the table that lots of people enjoyed.
