WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE TUFF

Hi, my name is Tuffy. I don't follow orders. My political view is neither left nor right. I despise stereotyped thinking. It's for noobs.

I believe in making up my own mind. I believe in distrust against authorities. All they want you to do is to pay & obey their rules. Their rules to stay in power. Don't get me wrong, there must be some rules in place for a society to function. We can't live in full anarchy, and there has to be some sort of higher order to prohibit chaos amongst all of us. Regarding this, democracy seems legit. It's the best we have, right? But what is considered democracy?

I don't see every part of the governmental institutions to be harmful. But I don't consider any of them as friendly as well. They are neutral at best but in most cases, they are against individualism. They have wet dreams imagining a society that is under full control, structured and compartementalized to the core because it is easier to administer it as such.

But we need to be administered. Don't we? As far as I despite being administered, I also can't imagine living in a world without some order at least. Not with 8.2 billion people freewheeling around on this planet. Especially not in the current way they behave, the way they've been raised, and the way they've been taught to live. The history of mankind has been gruesome. We're proud successors of the chimpanzees in this regard. I recommend watching "Rise of the Warrior Apes" to truly understand human nature.

SpoilerIt's all about lies and some wanting more than others...

Getting rid of liars would be my first step in making the world a better place. Lies have taken down individual relationships as well as whole societies. Lies may in fact one day mark the end of humanity. World War III seems imminent. I will never fight for my or any country that has driven us into a situation I despise, by the people in charge that don't care about me at all. I will fight for my family, for my friends, for my beloved ones, and for my beliefs only. But shit really needs to hit the fan before I will start getting violent. I've seen it all. I'm an old soul already.

Big Tech Detox has gone live.

As a web enthusiast I felt broken after the rise of social media and the general centralization of web services and communities. The internet didn't felt whole anymore. I still used some platforms on a near daily basis but I didn't connect and engage with other people anymore. I was just using the contents on the web to satisfy the neurons in my brain which fired every time and started releasing hormones and neurotransmitters when I found some new content that I wanted to consume. The centralized web made me burn out. This is why I will write about my journey and Big Tech Detox in general.

The pros and cons of using a VPN. Read more!

The relationship between neocities and me has been okay so gar. At first I loved working without server side scripting languages. It felt like the good ol' days of the internet. Then I started missing php support because I wanted to include parts of the page (header, footer, sidebars) into all of my pages without the need to update all my sites when something in these blocks gets changed. I didn't want to use frames or rely on JS for that. Then I realized that all links to my site will end up with a 404 once neocities shuts down its services one day or decides that Tuffys TUFFGROUNDS is far too tuff for neocities to handle. And now, all of a sudden neocities stopped the delivery of the the pages that I have updated. At least for myself and I found out why.

The Forum Revival Movement has gone live.

As a longtime forum user, I felt the need to fight the ongoing extinction of old web forums. Too many people left forums to engage on social media platforms to hunt for likes, while meaningful and in-depth content is in decline. Web forums offer so many advantages over social media or big tech forums. We need to take back the internet. Not only the old web enthusiasts but the internet society as a whole has to recognize the humongous advantages forums and niche forums offer in comparison to all the new places that popped up in the last decade(s). People need to realize that social media is no replacement for a good forum and that Reddit, Quora, or Discord and the likes aren't sufficient enough to share and discuss relevant topics in-depth. We need individual forums that don't force the TOS of big tech companies upon their user base. Forums are needed to keep the internet at least kind of private, to serve as a safe harbor to share and discuss knowledge, and to connect and interact with each other.

Why the usage of a VPN and Degoogling alone isn't enough to stay private on a web that is dominated by big tech companies.

Neocities stopped updating my site: - 28/9/2025 ; 14:20PM
All of a sudden neocities stopped serving me updated pages. I tried to find out what has happened and came to a conclusion.

I'm officially broke now - 22/9/2025; 14:00PM.
Today I spent my last money on grocery shopping. I have food left until this week ends. Not sure what I will do next. The tax office is tracking me down. I have to pay several thousand in taxes. They froze my bank account. I'm not able to pay my rent this month.

I finally made it.
Status: Broke but not broken

Today I spent my last money on grocery shopping. I have food left until this week ends. Not sure what I will do next. The tax office is tracking me down. I have to pay several thousand in taxes. They froze my bank account. I'm not able to pay my rent this month. Life has been miserable in a lot of ways for the past 8 years. Wonderful in some ways as well. Life is meaningful. Full of wonders. I need to get a lot fixed. Not sure how I will conquer the quests life is constantly serving me. Someone once said, "The universe only throws at you what you are able to handle." So... everything should be alright. Life expenses have gone through the roof in the last couple years, and I have to pay for my family members as well. I need to take care of the impaired ones and help other people. It sometimes feels like there is no one left that is helping me.

I wish you all the best.

People that have inspired me:

  • Jane Goodall - Followed her believes and interests
  • Bob Marley - Inspired so many people to think freely and question the system we live in
  • Edward Snowden - This man sacrificed his comfy life to tell the world the truth about mass surveillance
  • 14th Dalai Lama - Believes in peace and compassion. Always has a smile for other people. Buddhist.
  • Charles Darwin - He stood by his theory against all odds.
  • Sadghuru - Jagadish "Jaggi" Vasudev speaks truth in so many ways. Everybody should listen to him.
  • Diane Fossey - Living with and for the highland gorillas, dying for what she believed in.
  • John Lennon - Imagine all the people, living life in Peace
  • Mother Teresa - Dedicating herself to helping others is just likable.
  • Michael Jordan - Being so dedicated to the game that working hard to improve became his passion.
  • William Wallace - Freeeeeeeeedom!
  • Mel Gibson - One of my favorite directors/producers. Apocalypto, Braveheart. Masterpieces.
  • Greta Thunberg - Has helped to start a movement of young people engaging for what they believe in
  • Elon Musk - Oh dude did he change over time. However, a complicated childhood turned him into a fascinating man. While I can't support everything he has said or done, he truly is inspirational in some ways.
  • Leslie Nielsen - Made me laugh my ass off and seems to have been a very humble guy in general.
  • Bud Spencer - After reading his biography, I liked him even more than before.
  • Nikola Tesla - One of the biggest inventors in history.
  • Freddy Mercury - Hands down, the best entertainer who ever walked this planet.
  • Siddhārtha Gautama - We all should rethink everything after looking through his eyes
  • Jesus - Being forgiving, teaching humans. Died because of liars & assholes.
  • Voltaire - Known for satire and defense of civil liberties. "Love truth, but pardon error." What a wonderful quote!
  • Hunter S. Thompson - Never bowed down, been himself ever since and got his remains blasted into the sky with a rocket
  • Mom, Dad - And the other usual suspects... I will always love you!

I don't justify ALL actions of the people above, especially the ones that I don't know of. There are controversies around everyone, and no one is free of guilt. I just think that these people and their actions that I know of have been inspirational to me.

While writing my list of people that have inspired me, I got stuck once in a while. I tried to find more people that have inspired me by searching for "most inspiring people." It was kind of shocking how bland these lists are. Most of them featured a lot of A-listers. Like Pharrell Williams being at #1, the most inspiring human? Hell no.

Only very few of the people that I think of as inspiring to me are listed on these public lists. Thats why I made my own. I dislike: Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates, Obama, Trump, Epstein, Bill and Hillary, Biden and most politicians in general. Only few of them are honorable. We need politicians that have high ethics, who are trustworthy, honest and honorable. They should make decisions on a diplomatic level, war shouldn't be an option. Fuck warmongers! And fuck everyone who is corrupt and makes use of lies, harassment, manipulation, moneypulation, threatening, and back-stabbing. It's kind of telling that there are 15 adjectives and adverbs for being dastardly in the English language. Even chimps can be this way.

I fucking hate social media.

I needed to open up an account for my business. These f##kt4rds just banned it right away without me having made a single post or comment. These big tech companies are just greedy, id & passport collecting, user tracking and data selling fu##wits. Go fu## yourselves! Here comes the old web!

  • War, WWIII in particular

How I would like to live:

I like the vibe of music festivals. Psytrance in particular. One of the most interesting festivals I've been to has been the last Freecuency Festival hold in Portugal. No entry fee, no security, surrounded by a beautiful landscape. Just a couple thousand people enjoying theirselves, getting to know each other, dancing, eating, sleeping, repeating.

A permanent festival sounds fun. On the other hand, this has never been established in a meaningful way. Or has it? Did it fail. Probably because I never heard of one going on. I can imagine it fail. I want to try it. Well I could think of a festival site within a valley surrounded by a ring like eco village spanning across the surrounding hills.

Questionable?

  • Yes. Very questionable.

PROJECTS

  • Updating this projects list because I have so much going on
  • Unscripted Webring
  • Take full control over Splatsville (ongoing)
