My 3DS is in storage :( but N3DS allows most Neocities sites to work fine, so whatever. Also, if it works on O3DS then its practically guaranteed to work perfectly on N3DS
also another note before i actually do anything: ive considered making a normal log into the website itself, but have decided against it for now due to the fact that it is rather redundant. However, since I will probably begin editing these things via Vim + pushing updates via GIT everywhere, the actual updates should be on CodeBerg. My account is https://codeberg.org/DigitalCheese (havent been there in a while btw)
To make the money, I'll likely sell laptops I don't need for cash then try to find a cheap yet reliable thing for whatever it is. Amazon shows only $31 for a 512GB SSD, though I'll need to make sure it's actually good. As for more specifically what I'd want, it is something like the following within a high-quality laptop (would go desktop computer, but I have major needs for carrying my laptop around):
16GB Ram, 256-512GB SSD, 720P Or Lower Screen, CD/DVD Drive, USB Ports, Headphone + Microphone Jack, Ethernet + WiFi Support, VGA Port, Long-Lasting Battery Life (several days off one charge if I'm careful type of life), A Mostly Decent CPU, maybe GPU idfk. As for what it'll use:
Libreboot. Gentoo Linux (main), TempleOS (memes) + maybe Tails OS (on flash-drive). Typical Linux-hacker larp stuff from there (terminal everything except IRC + browser). Why give a laptop extreme power only to not require more than 2GB of ram? Because why the hell not XD.
This is far from complete, ik theres more to consider here, but this is a small view thus-far. I could probably get a few hundred total for all the stuff I have sitting around to build this laptop, and if its well I'll try to build one for a fren who'd need it too. Once I know what I'm actually doing and the final idea is done, I'll release a guide on what I did but obviously that'll be a while.
Since I can't self-host anyways, having like 5 computers total sitting around doesn't really help me (not to mention, 2 of this 5 having issues with their HDDs means thats less manpower for hosting even if I could do it now). If or when I can self-host, I'll just be sane and do an actual desktop computer lmao, easier I bet + I'm not moving a web-server much if ever.
Essentially, rather than several computers I don't need, I'll try to just build 2 I can actually use. Laptop (normal) + Desktop (web-server). We are now at the point I either become extra-extra retarded or extremely based.
