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 hosted by Netlify, who serves it to you via CloudFlare’s CDN. By their privacy policy they serve as a GDPR data processor. You can read how they preserve your privacy.

Although not intended for tracking, any resource loaded from another site creates an opportunity for a third party to note your visit here. 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 worth disclosing.
