Here are some things you may find interesting about this website. If you’re being directed here from privacy links of some of my other websites, what is stated below (apart from tech stack) remains true.
- No tracking, no analytics: there is no tracking installed on this website. You don’t need analytics on a personal blog. I have no idea how many people visit this website, let alone who they are, where thet live, or how they got here. My previous website sent data to a self-hosted Umami instance, which I never ever ended up checking.
- Tech stack: this website is made with Hugo and does not use a theme. It uses water.css with a tiny custom CSS file to make it it look good. Try to stay away from fancy things (that break and need maintenance) as much as possible.
- Hosting: this website (and all my others) are hosted on sourcehut pages and the the source is available. Consult the
.build.ymlfile in the linked repo to see how simple life can be. I am a paying customer of sourcehut because I support their ethos, and cannot recommend their services enough. - No AI: none of the content that you read on this website was produced with the help of articifial intelligence. Truthfully, I did use an LLM when learning Hugo when I made the switch, and small parts of this site’s (very minimal) configuration have been written with the assistance of ChatGPT.
