About this Site

After nearly a decade, I’ve rebuilt my personal site from scratch—a blog on software, self-hosting, and lessons learned along the way. This first post is backdated to when I originally launched a site on this domain, back in 2018.

What?—A personal blog. Posts aim to be concise, practical, and rigorous.

Why?—To give back to the libre software community. To keep a record of my learning journey. To deepen my own understanding by writing things down.^{1 1} As Einstein put it, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” Feynman followed the same principle, testing his understanding by teaching from first principles. 

Who?—See the About page.

Where?—Self-hosted at my mother’s house in northern Spain (ha!), exposed to the Internet through a WireGuard tunnel to a VPS, and served via a global CDN.

When?—Once or twice a month.

How?—Written in Emacs Org-mode, exported to Hugo, with a custom theme.^{2 2} Inspired by the work of Edward Tufte and Matthew Butterick.
