<h1 class="title">FAQ</h1>

## Where are you?

Somewhere in Japan, more details coming never.

## Why did you make this website?

Soycial media is good for shitposting, but it sucks for full blown articles.\
I have a [fedi account](https://social.076.moe/ryo), and I'm surprised how easy it is to get attention compared to Shitter, even though you're on a small instance known by just a few people, run by someone who gets banned from everywhere else and everything, but who will read a 5000 character small post on a JS-only service that nobody will even care about 2 days later?\
That's why I decided to make my own space, so that my future me can show my not yet existing grandchildren (let alone children) how much of a difference I've made to the world, or some shit.

## How did you make this website?

I use gostatic as the site generator to convert Markdown into HTML, but I made the HTML template and CSS entirely by hand.\
HTML and CSS are very easy to make, I seriously can't see why you should rely on somebody else's template.\
Also, I made my own sync script.\
Chika Hiroba is made completely by hand, so no site generator.\
Site generators are great for blogs with lots of different pages, but overkill for just a single page or a few pages that barely even change.

Source code for both can be found [here](https://gitler.moe/ryo/ryoblog) and [here](https://gitler.moe/ryo/ryosync).\
And Chika Hiroba is [here](https://gitler.moe/ryo/chikahiroba-OpenBSD).

## Is Ryo your real name?

No, my real name is very different from that.\
It's just short, catchy, 1 syllable and 1 kanji character name (though it takes 3 characters in both hiragana and alphabet), so I went with that.

## Can I know your real name?

No.

## Why do you use クレー as your profile picture?

Even though I don't play Genshin Impact (because those fucking pieces of shit in CHAINA!! do everything in their power to prevent it from being playable using Wine or Proton), I like the loli character.\
In general, in every game with lots of female characters, I always prefer the loli characters, because they're cheerful, small, have a fun personality, have a cute voice (if any), and so on.\
I love big titties too, but the adult characters usually tend to be way too serious personality, they're not fun.

## Why darknet?

The clearnet is done.\
The clearnet has no fun left, it's all just big corpoes, and few exceptions that are still worth it, but almost all of them have a darknet mirror anyway.

And I'd say, be the change you want to see in the world.\
I believe the darknet is the only way to have a good internet again.\
Blockchain is NOT the answer, web 3.0 is NOT the answer, identity politics is NOT the answer, IPFS is NOT the answer, smartphones is NOT the answer; hell, even the Fediverse is not the answer, but at least it's the best plan B we have.\
I don't have anything against things like Gopher and Gemini, but you still need a domain name in order to run it, so you can still get cancelled by your domain registrar.

## Will you consider hosting a mirror on the clearnet?

I used to say no, but then my darknet server got down long term, so I made a clearnet mirror as a temporary solution.\
But I think that now I have it anyway, I'll just let it exist after I get my darknet mirrors up again, and if ICANN censors this domain to death, then I guess we'll just continue exclusively on the darknet again.
