have you heard of oracle's free vps tier? Derrick from that90s.site was telling me about it. 24gb ram, 4vcpu ARM cores, 10tb transfer - could be useful for testing or projects!

Hmmm... I shall check into this! Were you thinking of using this? It would be cool if I could pipe W99 into that Quake server somehow... but also just thinking about future endeavors as I try to move toward multiuser stuff eventually.

I signed up for one, it turns out they make 2FA necessary, so you need to either use their authenticator app (which has poor reviews) or use a FIDO Authenticator usb drive. I'm going the drive option because I think it might be a nice idea to have one, ordered one for $27.

So yea, thinking about using this! I want a bit more control over how I customize my chatrooms and what kinds of features I can implement, and I think this would be a great start to building my own and testing things out without screwing up the anything on the onio forum xD

Thank u for the follow! The chess and solitaire made me time travel.
Had a few people ask about an animated button. Feel free to use it-> https://win99.dev/win99ani.gif I thought about creating application specific buttons since there is an ability to add query strings for different applications (ex. https://win99.dev/?app=photoBooth). Not sure if thats worthwhile or not.

Making textures and patterns in Paint 99 for a game I'm working on is next level satisfying.

I like your site... I noticed the poll doesn't work though. I think the poll is being blocked by Neocities' CSP header (form-action 'self'), which prevents forms from submitting to external sites. possible fix: replace the pollcode embed with its iframe version instead (the iframe bypasses the restriction). You should be able to get the iframe code from your Pollcode dashboard :)
