about this site

This site was build with 11ty. I didn't use any templates, but did right-click inspect a lot of other people's websites to try and get a sense of how to do these things.

# hosting

The raw files (.md, .css, .njk, and a one or two .js) are sitting in a repository on codeberg. The site is hosted on statichost.eu, and there is a nifty little webhook that rebuilds the site whenever changes are pushed to codeberg. It was a day of trial and error getting the docker image that statichost.eu requires to work - but it works.

I don't collect any of your data, because, I don't want your data. And statichost.eu don't store anything either^[1].
