Hi! By what means were the timestamps for the unofficial HS collection acquired? How reliable are them?

Hi! I'm on a school computer and have no access to discord, twitter, or anything else that I could use to tell you this. I'm trying to read Homestuck while in school, but they have it blocked. I found your web port of the Unofficial Homestuck Collection which, I guess, isn't blocked. Anyhow, I wanted to report a bug where the panels don't show up and only the text does. If you see this, thank you! You're the best.

Do you have any recommendation on tools to set up a blog similar to yours? (similar in the sense that you have tags, comment sections, i.e. the blog features) Was it all done in Pelican?
Yes, my blog is all done in pelican, but unfortunately I don't have a great offhand recommendation for an easy service this. My goto used to be Wordpress, but I haven't looked at that in a while. I've also seen Ghost as a "modern" option. Blogspot hasn't been workable for a long time. You could also make a static site using pelican and host it using something like Glitch or Neocities.

Hello,
given your recent series of blogposts about IP abuses, what do you think about Tom Scott's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jwo5qc78QU) about YouTube's copyright system and how it became to what it is now?
I watched it when it came out and I remember thinking it was good. I agree with his general thesis that YouTube is contorting around a copyright system not designed for the internet, and a lot of the problems with YouTube's system coming from the fact that it's a "layer" between the individual and the law. I think my response would be that a copyright system more like the one I describe in https://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2023/10/25/youve-never-seen-copyright/ would fit "The Internet" better, as a side-effect of fitting the whole world better in general.

Heyo,
how do you decide whether to post your thoughts on Bluesky, Mastodon or Twitter?

Hey Gio,
I have the impression that you are around the Internet for a very long time yet your oldest blog posts is from 2020. What did you do before the blog, and how did you come to start the blog in the first place?
I don’t have any other blog-style writing online. I’ve been on Twitter, Tumblr, and before that a number of different forums (MSPAF represent) and IRC. A lot of what would now be called “indieweb”.
How I came to start the blog is a longer topic I don’t really have a good answer to. I wanted to have a good space for longform writing, and I didn’t care if blogs were going out of style if they were still the best tool for the job.

Is your website the official location of the unofficial collection webapp or is it just there now for testing?

Hello!
You have a presence on Twitter, their hot up-and-coming alternatives Mastodon and Bluesky and Tumblr. But interestingly, CoHost is missing. Why is that the case?
I have a cohost at https://cohost.org/giovan-h, but I'm not currently using it much. Maybe in the future!

why does the unofficial homestuck collection have plugins enabled by default, like hussie's commentary and the transcripts? i feel like hussie's commentary especially ruins new readers' experiences, arguably more than the official website does.
The web version has a handful of mods I personally find valuable enabled by default, both to make sure everything's working correctly and because the "unofficial" status of the web beta lets me tweak things so it works well out-of-the-box with my recommended settings. HOWEVER, the commentary mod is only enabled by default if you explicitly turned New Reader Mode off, for obvious reasons.
