Hello world

After being on the internet for nearly 30 years I figured it was time to create a personal website.

I’m using Hugo to generate the site, hosting it on a Linux VPS and using Apache as the webserver. My little Lightsail instance won’t handle much traffic so I’m fronting all the larger resources (mostly images) with Bunny CDN.

Deployment is just done using a little shell script that does some avif image processing (hugo doesn’t currently support generating avif images) and then rsyncs the files to the server. That may change to a github action if I want to get fancy.

We’ll see how well this hosting solution goes, I may consider options like Vercel or Netlify, but those seem to add complexity that I don’t need right now.
