## How I run this site
|
||
|
||
With the exception of search-result pages, this site's public-facing content is statically-generated using [the Hugo static-site generator](https://gohugo.io/). I list all the server-side software on [my "uses" page]({{<relref "/about/uses.md#server-side-stuff">}}). All programs on my server that did not come pre-installed with Fedora Cloud Edition are statically-linked binaries built by me, running in heavily sandboxed environments. Most services run with their own root directories (i.e. they run in chroots).
|
||
|
||
Hugo pulls Webmentions from my Webmention endpoint during builds, so I can have statically-generated comments. Although I did use a pre-made theme a long time ago, I've since gradually re-written the site; my theme is now original. See [my site design standards]({{<relref "/meta/site-design.md">}}) for my design goals.
|
||
|
||
### Services this site relies on
|
||
|
||
This site is hosted on a virtual private server I rent from Digital Ocean, with 1 virtual CPU and 1 GB of memory. I don't necessarily endorse Digital Ocean; for now, I'm only using it for the free credits. I use name servers from [deSEC](https://desec.io/), and do recommend it to others who want managed DNSSEC.
|
||
|
||
This site encrypts HTTPS traffic with an OCSP-stapled TLS certificate signed by Let's Encrypt. It regularly pulls package updates from Fedora's official repository mirrors.
|
||
|
||
## Other versions of this site
|
||
|
||
This website's canonical location is on seirdy.one.
|
||
|
||
This page also exists on the [tildeverse](https://tildeverse.org/), a bunch of \*nix computers that let people sign up for shell accounts. A typical shell account features clients for IRC and email, common terminal/commandline utilities, and (most importantly) web hosting. Read about the tildeverse's [origins](https://web.archive.org/web/20180917091804/https://medium.com/message/tilde-club-i-had-a-couple-drinks-and-woke-up-with-1-000-nerds-a8904f0a2ebf), read [the FAQ](https://tilde.club/wiki/faq.html), pick [a tilde](https://tilde.club/%7Epfhawkins/othertildes.html) and [get started](https://tilde.club/~anthonydpaul/primer.html). My Tildeverse pages will serve as a "rough draft".
|
||
|
||
Content on this site also appears on <a rel="alternate" href="gemini://seirdy.one/" class="u-syndication">my Gemini capsule</a>. My Web and Gemini content may be slightly different: I often phrase things differently to accommodate the strengths and weaknesses of each medium.
|
||
|
||
I have a [Tor hidden Web service](http://wgq3bd2kqoybhstp77i3wrzbfnsyd27wt34psaja4grqiezqircorkyd.onion/ "{rel='alternate' class='u-syndication'}") which mirrors this site's contents, except for the fact that it replaces some SVGs with PNGs.

## Awards and novelty badges

[Internet.nl](https://internet.nl/) offers an automated website security check. Relevant buzzwords include IPv6, DNSSEC, TLS, HTTP security headers, and RPKI. [See a report for seirdy.one](https://internet.nl/site/seirdy.one/2510940/).
|
||
|
||
Internet.nl penalizes the use of [0-RTT](https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-0-rtt/) because it opens sites up to replay attacks. Since passing the test, I moved all non-idempotent content to other subdomains. Save for some fancy Nginx redirects, everything on the `seirdy.one` domain is static public content. This property made it safe to enable 0-RTT without being at risk of replay attacks. As of right now, I don't pass the test, but I consider the 0-RTT failure to be a false positive.

[Not By AI](https://notbyai.fyi/) offers badges to indicate that content is not generated by "Artificial Intelligence" (i.e., machine learning) in the wake of a wave of text-to-image and language models. At the time of writing, 100% of the content on this website is manually written. The only "algorithmic" writing aid I have is NeoVim's default spell-checking and word suggestions, and occasionally use a simple prose linter for weak suggestions (most of which I ignore).

Like Not By AI, [Nonbot.org](https://nonbot.org/) offers badges to indicate that content is written by people rather than generative-AI. It also performs verification and offers a directory of pledged sites; [see this website's entry](https://nonbot.org/pledged/view/9b8cd6a3-6bcc-47d8-b9e9-4cbce47ef50e).

As per [the HTML Hobbyist website](https://www.htmlhobbyist.com/): I <q cite="https://www.htmlhobbyist.com/">pledge to make a simple, honest website with the proper use of HTML, the use of CSS only where essential, and the use of JavaScript _only where it’s absolutely necessary._</q> CSS on seirdy.one is optional, and JavaScript on public pages is non-existent.
