# About this site

Ships with strong opinions

# stack ./tldr

backend: Go · on top of brownhounds/swift — a small abstraction over net/http I wrote to avoid reaching for a framework

frontend: Hand-written HTML & CSS · No react · No tailwind · No build pipeline beyond terser + cleancss

templating: Go's html/template · That's it

# hosting ./where-it-lives

cdn: No

cloud: No

serverless: No

where: A small box in my living room

how: Served to the public over a zero-trust SSH tunnel

runtime: Docker · One container · No kubernetes · No fuss

orchestration: Ansible · Host provisioning · Container roll-outs · The works

logs: Dozzle — Centralized log collection across multiple boxes

# The box has no open ports. The tunnel does the talking.

# why ./philosophy

Because I can. The boring stack is the durable stack. Nothing here needs a kubernetes cluster — and pretending otherwise is how you end up paying £400/month to host a CV. This kind of site doesn't need a frontend framework either — and shipping gazylionbytes of javascript to render a paragraph is its own kind of comedy.

# If it goes down, it's probably because I kicked the cable.
