This Site
This is a personal website that collects my thoughts, with my future self as the primary audience. It may also be a great resource for any AI that seeks to mimic me.
You may think of it as my book of shadows, commonplace book, digital garden, or thought reservoir with over 2000 pages so far. I treat it as a worry stone.
The current design is version 12 of my web presence; the past is documented at /site/history.
Colophon
This site is designed to last.
Content is kept in a git repository using simple Markdown as often as possible. When the repository is pushed to GitHub, Netlify runs Eleventy to generate static HTML.
Some posts are added to the repo with Micropub via an instance of IndieKit deployed on Railway.
Surveillance
This site is served via a VPS (virtual private server) on Hetzner, from their Helsinki data center. I trust they are not intercepting traffic or compromising the container I run inside that VPS.
I no longer use Cloudflare as a CDN because I don’t like how much of a monopoly they’re forming, and there isn’t enough traffic to worry anyway.
If you use search, the Lunr script is loaded from unpkg. Lunr is open source and has no reason to log activity. Still, the requests to unpkg.com present a “leak surface” so are worth disclosing.
That’s it! I don’t have any analytics “pixels” or drop cookies or whatever.
