Colophon⚓
I got this idea from Daniel Miessler's blog and decided to borrow from it.
This Website⚓
This site was initially created to provide me with a better understanding of the projects I was working on at the time. It now serves as a container for all of my life projects.
- Documentation is stored on GitHub.
- Generated with MkDocs Material Insiders.
- Hosted with Cloudflare Pages.
- Site analytics by Plausible.
- DNS by Cloudflare.
- Media content hosted on Backblaze and served with Cloudflare.
- Written in VSCodium.
