Cyberspace is a big and scary place.
So where is this blog, really?
There is a place in physical space
Known to some as Philly.
That is where this blog lives.
Everybody asks where is blog, but few ask how is blog.
So - let's answer the question that nobody had.
Blog is doing well, thanks for asking :3
Sometimes I have to remind the blog that it should remain up and reward it for doing so.
But if you're seeing this now than it's being a good blog.
Fucken nerd.
Okay, here goes.
This blog is hosted by lighttpd, reverse proxied by Caddy to the public, and uses
ACME as a verification protocol to get it's certificates.
All of this lives in one proxmox box, which is a dell optiplex that was sold as university surplus.
There are no other external services on this box for now, everything else is internal for now.
Plans are in place to setup a wireguard endpoint to log into my network.
Due to the limitations of the Netgear router I currently own, and the lack of OpenWRT firmware for it,
IPv6 hosting is not possible, as there is no way to edit the firewall to allow it.
In the future, I am looking to introduce a dedicated opnsense or Palo Alto firewall to mitigate this.
I might just get a Palo.
The UI is nice, I can get the certs for work stuff, and the blue box is fucking iconic.
I can deal with licensing not being enabled and honestly I don't need a ton of throughput.
All of the HTML/CSS for this blog is edited in VSCodium by hand. There is no server-side templating.
