I'm using Hugo to maintain this website. The theme I'm using is the Hugo Octopress theme, to which I have made some modifications.

Coming from maintaining a blog manually with a bunch of template HTML files, and manually updating RSS feeds, article listings and so on and so forth: I love Hugo!

Javascript isn't entirely absent from this website. I use it for the following:

• Katex rendering
• Analytics (see next section)
• The search bar (for which I'm using Pagefind)

That being said, aside from that, this entire website is fully functional with Javascript disabled!

I'm using GoatCounter for analytics; this is a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Analytics, which is also rather lightweight.

Why am I using analytics in the first place? Curiosity!

This website, as you can probably tell from the URL, is currently hosted on Neocities. I quite like how simple it is to set up a website on this platform; the only thing I dislike is the mandatory HTML tutorial after you create an account!

I think Neocities is a rather apt tool for a personal blog, especially because of how simple it is to use; also partly because you get 1 gigabyte of storage on their free tier. That being said, I am looking to host my website elsewhere with a custom domain in the future.

• My operating system of choice for the past 4 years has been some variation of Linux. Currently, I'm on Linux Mint XFCE. The second Linux distribution I've probably clocked the most hours on is Void Linux. Or perhaps some other distribution of Debian.
• My text editor of choice is Emacs. Well, Doom Emacs to be specific. I really like how easy it is to fly around the interface with your keyboard! Also Org mode!
• I'm still getting the hang of Git, but I use that for version control.
