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.
