Terms of Use

In short, avoiding lengthy legalese, you’re using this website at your own risk, mentally and technically. While I don’t use any tracking, if you visit a site that I link to, they might do so. Also, while on another website, even if I link to it, their terms of use and privacy policy will apply, obviously.

This site uses static files only, and all publicly accessible pages are listed in the sitemap.xml file. If you simply read or crawl this site accordingly, all will be fine. Since I don’t collect any kind of data, and all contents editing is done here locally without server-side infrastructure, there’s nothing to steal. As said, just static files, no database, no server-side processing. Only http GET requests are served. Access to script resources such as .php or WordPress directories and files and the like are blocked. The ssh access is locked down. Botton line: don’t waste my and your computing resources to try to break in. Should you succeed nonetheless, it will be a short-lived joy, as I’ll just shut down and kill the server, and set up a new one. It takes me but a few minutes.

Privacy

I don’t use any third party analysis and tracking service. I have decided that I neither need nor want it. Hence, this site does not use any cookies at all, and does not collect, extract, or store any personalised data.

Your visits will be recorded in the usual server log files.

Device Support

Everything from desktop computers with large screens to laptops to tablets and mobile phones should present the contents somewhat decent and navigable.

Browser Support

The site gets tested on recent browsers, namely Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, on macOS, Windows, and iOS. I don’t have access to systems and devices that use Android, Linux, or other operating systems, sorry.

No special efforts are put into supporting ancient browsers. Upgrade. It’s in your best interest anyway, from a security point of view.

Infrastructure

The site contents consists completely of static files, without any server-side processing. The contents files are generated with Hugo on my Mac and uploaded to a Linux server at Linode or Hetzner. These servers are 100% under my control, log files and all.
