How this site works.

- 2 mins read

Basic overview of the working of this site and such.

I am aware of the fact that I am not using proper terms in this post.

Domain:

  • I have purchased this domain via porkbun.
  • I have 失われた心 in the url via punycode.

Deployment:

  • It currently is deployed via netlify. Later, I’ll be moving it to a VPS1, preferably Contabo or Vultr and will be using nginx.
  • Netlify deploys the site through a private github repository.

Analytics:

  • It is possible to view this site’s analytics at piratepx.
  • It loads a 1x1 .gif file that sends a counter += counter request.
  • Upon getting a VPS1, I’ll be self-hosting either plausible, or shynet.

Production:

  • I use neovim as my code-editor.
  • I am using hugo as a SSG2, it is blazingly fast and I am very satisfied with it.
  • The theme in use is poison. It is pretty and I like it.
  • I use the version control system known as git, and as stated earlier, have my repository on github. I intend to set up a Gitea service for myself upon getting the VPS1.

Services:

I am willing to host these services, once I get a VPS1:

  • Gitea – for my git repositories. (Personal use, Public access.)
  • Plausible or shynet – for website analytics. (Personal use, Public access.)
  • Uguu (or an in-house solution) – a temporary file host. (Public use.)
  • Piped – Open source YouT*be frontend.

Support:

VPS1 costs are high. Support me by sending XMR3 at (placeholder).
