Welcome to the Den

So I finally got around to setting up a proper blog. Welcome.

Why This Exists

I wanted a place to write that wasn’t owned by a corporation. No Medium, no Substack, no algorithm deciding who sees what. Just markdown files in a small site I control.

That’s the whole point of the den - owning your own space on the internet.

What It Runs On

This site is built with Astro. Most pages are static HTML and CSS, with a small Node server for the site runtime.

It runs in a Docker container and is deployed from my Gitea instance. The whole pipeline is mine.

What to Expect

I’ll write when I have something to say. Probably a mix of:

  • Self-hosting adventures and homelab stuff
  • Privacy thoughts and digital autonomy
  • Technical things I figured out the hard way
  • Whatever else is on my mind

No schedule, no engagement metrics, no SEO optimization. Just writing.


Thanks for reading. Welcome to the den.
