This page is no longer hosted on [GitHub Pages](https://github.com)—**it is now proudly self-hosted** on a FriendlyElec CM3588 board, running under my sofa in Germany, sometimes even powered by solar energy. The fact that you're reading this already feels like a small victory.
The entire site runs in a lightweight and modular **Docker** setup, making it easy to maintain, migrate, and tweak without compromising on stability or control.
The site is served using [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com), which handles HTTPS and web delivery with simplicity and elegance.
It is protected by [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/). I'm not particularly thrilled about that part, but security matters—and so does your privacy.
I do not use any proxying services beyond what's absolutely necessary, and I do my best to reduce tracking for both myself and others, using what knowledge and care I have.
Because this site is hosted in Germany, it falls under the [GDPR](https://gdpr.eu/). Since I do not collect or process any personal data, **no cookie banner or privacy notice is legally required**.
### No Data Collection
This is a static website.
There is **no database**, **no user accounts**, and **no cookies**—not from me, and not from any third parties.
Nothing here tracks you.
### Comments via Mastodon
This site includes a lightweight, privacy-conscious commenting system that integrates with [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org). All comments are retrieved live via API calls from Mastodon instances.
This means:
- **All comment data remains on Mastodon**
- I store **nothing**—no comment content, no usernames, no metadata
- Interaction with the system is completely voluntary and handled on Mastodon’s side
### IndieWeb Sharing
You’ll find various options to share posts across the [IndieWeb](https://indieweb.org), using standards like Webmention and ActivityPub. These tools empower decentralization and privacy-conscious interaction—no tracking, no surveillance capitalism.
### Source Code Transparency
The entire codebase of this site is publicly available.
You can find it in the bottom right corner of the page—feel free to explore, audit, or fork.
I now self-host this website on a tiny but powerful CM3588 board with a Dockerized setup and Caddy as the web server. It’s a learning journey—both fun and slightly chaotic.
