first blog part II!! (Site migration)

13/02/2026

after much fucking around i finally got my own network shuffling out the gates on crutches :3

for all of nobody still checkin neocities, the new domain is www.mayisdevo.net. i will also be putting up a nice big warning on the frontpage that youll more than likely see first. neocities is now DEFUNCT!!

(for the uncultured newgens heres the neocities site for archival purposes)

what a ride its been trying to get this shit working tho, and what a learning experience. i tried apache first and that worked good except that this website was now spreading its bare ass for the internet to abuse so i thought it wise to revamp it with a nice nginx reverse proxy. turns out nginx didnt take kindly to undocumented apaches tryin to take its job and colonized my webpage with its stupid ass default nginx page. after hours of trying to figure out how to get nginx to ignore its own webpage and forward the traffic to apache and display that as the domain without fucking up the ssl record and certbot freaking out it hit me: wait a minute, nginx isnt a reverse proxy, its a web server that can reverse proxy, why not just use nginx??? so now its all on nginx. very cool

next milestone is the xmpp server. i was totally lost but the practice with juggling dns and certs and ports and all that shit makes me feel a little more confident

also on a more personal note hrt is already making me feel much better. idk if its the E or the lack of T but ever since i started taking it ive felt super serene and oddly content. usually my mind feels very chaotic and disorganized like a train station filled with 2 way trains on 1 track all playing bumper cars and im trying to find my luggage but now im cruisin down the main line lookin out the window on a nice grassy field. idk how to explain it its like a fiery beast in my belly was euthanized. i mean this in a good way not a zombified way i feel way less impulsive and high-strung, like insane behavior is a choice for me now rather than a stress burner. now lets be clear insane behavior is very fun so i will gladly continue it just no longer feels necessary per se. also strangely more social usually i have to completely clam up just to be able to focus and work good but i feel like socializing with coworkers is both more enjoyable and less taxing than before. only factor that changed was the hrt so i will say FUCK TESTOSTERONE and embrace it
