Just a compilation of helpful tutorials or fun utilities shared by cohorts. Mostly a resource for myself to easily re-find helpful things, but maybe other folks will find this handy too! I'll probably update this post over time as I learn new things around here.

How to post inline images without hotlinking or hosting on another site by @blackle
-
^Note for image linking in Cohost drafts, I have noticed one of my images posted this way break after a site update. It wasn't a big deal to replace it at this time since my account is still pretty new, but for the sake of not having to comb through all my posts in the future, I think it's better practice to use your own image hosting. I use Neocities!

Apparently there is no limit on image length. Some Examples by @mrfb and myself. I think there is potential here for experimenting with infinite canvas style comics!

you should pirate shit
you should download files. it's fun, free, and better for the world than streaming services. "but it's hard" this is a guide. i promise you don't need to be a computerhead. i believe in you.
why should i pirate shit?
- streaming services suck. in every industry, they make their money by financially ruining the people who make the art they profit off of. their algorithms, instead of helping you "discover new art", funnel you into what they want you to watch/listen/play. they're janky & inconsistent & are all missing things. fuck em.
- having your collection of files rules. remember how dads would get excited about their cd or dvd collections? they were right. that shit rules. trust me: knowing your collection represents your tastes, and you're in control of what's in it feels sick as hell.
- it's free! spend your 10 bucks a month buying music from a broke artist on bandcamp instead. easy.
- using media library server software, you can stream your own files to your tv/phone/etc, like streaming services.
- pirate streaming sites also exist but tbh they also suck and I'm not trying to sit through "try not to cum" ads to watch a show in questionable quality with no subtitle options.
