Sometimes people as me questions. Not frequently, but they do.Who are you? A human. It's sad that it's no longer given. I can't solve CAPTCHAs, so maybe it's wrong? Still, my name is Michał, and I am a nerd from Kraków, Poland. I am into niche and old things, like anime, BSD, or Emacs. I earn my bread as a senior software engineer in a SASS company specializing in Ruby on Rails. After work, I am a husband and a father - the only reason I ever leave my home because couch is love. What is this site? This is one of the things your grandfather told you about: a personal website. Not a social media, not a Google YouTube Channel, not a Discord server. It's just a place where I write about things which interest me, and some even people read it. I write mostly about speculative fiction, FreeBSD, or Emacs. Weblog is the unstructed part where everything can land, as long it maintains my fleeting interest for long enough to become a text.What's your viewership? I haven't got the slightest clue. I don't have any tracking here, and logs are kind of useless to determine if a given request was ever seen by a human. Most of my readers tend to use an RSS reader, so it's even harder to tell. People do contact me from time to time, so they exist.Why do you have a website? For the fun of it. I've had multiple website over the span of 30 years, and it was always fun. Somehow, always, some community exists and I become part of it.How is it built? This site is built my custom-built static site renderer. I tried Hugo, but I got fed up with trying to do everything in their templating engine. Having ready access to a codebase is always fun! You can find the msite on CodebergWhere is it hosted? This site is served from my living room. Hosting a static site is simple: you just need a: computer, connection, dynamic DNS provider and some file serving software. In my case, it's a bit complex as it's running on a Synology, which I dislike. Therefore, there's a FreeBSD virtual machine running on it - Synology OS is only serving multimedia at this point. On the VM, I have two Jails: a generic reverse proxy, and the actual site one. For both, the reverse proxy and file serving, I use caddy. For the Dynamic DNS, I have recently migrated to 1984.Doesn't this kill your internet connection? No. Sure, LLMs scrapers shamelessly hit the server, but it's nothing my domestic connection can't handle. You could DDOS me, by why would you? I'm a nice guy! Outside of bots, the actual traffic is insignificant, sadly.
