Picky picky tentacle monster.
Some of you may have noticed I made some edits to the default dreamhost banner
it’s now a little more… truthful? Anyway, dreamhost is really a pretty good host, and for your buck you get features out the wazoo. The wordpress blog engine the comic is running from can be installed in one click, same as the phpbb forum and you can host a ton of sites on a single virtual package (I’ve lost count but I think I have over 15) or even backup your hard drive to the FTP.
They’ve had some growing pains this last year but god have I had worse hosts. Far, far worse. For anything that isn’t “mission critical” (Such as a webcomic or personal site) I heartily reccomend them.
The banner link has the promo code “kimchi” included so if you signup for hosting after clicking it you get 20$ discount

Somehow I managed to read that banner the first time as:
“DreamHost too bad, they’re not honest”
I really need to get my eyes checked…

Honestly it’s not really a very good banner I better make a new one.
But really, the banner blindness evidenced by the readership of this site reaches epic levels, so I confess to a certain amount of desperation.

I’m surprised they even let you use a nonstandard banner. Most companies would freak out about it.

nah, they’re cool, if they were any more laid back they’d fall over. Just read their blog

I just read that DreamHost blog. So when are you going to put up those little “this site is green” banners? Huh?
I recently read an article which said that not one of the companies who’d bought carbon “emission reduction credits” had been able to prove that their carbon reduction projects had any long lasting net effects. The article said that the carbon that’s being consumed is brought up from the ground, but when these companies bind it, they bind it in forests that they plant. In order to achieve actual carbon neutrality, those forests would have to keep binding the carbon for as long time as it takes for that much carbon to be buried as deep as it was brought up from. Which takes millions of years. Those forests are probably not going to be around that long.
Another example was a project to install low energy lamps in Cape Town (I think), but according to the article, the city itself soon did that on a much larger scale, thereby nullifying the net effect the company’s project had. Though curiously the article didn’t mention if the city was inspired by the project, or if it had been planning to do install those lamps anyway. If they were inspired, it would’ve increased the net effect of the project.
Modern letters of indulgence, the article said. When I first heard about the thing I thought it was mostly a way to make it financially painful to hurt the environment, like self-flagellation or something. But apparently it’s closer to that other religious thing they did back in the olden days. Funny. :-)

I think it’s a little more practical than letters of indulgence Webhosting is hardly the kind of industry that comes to mind when one thinks of pollution anyway
