About My Site
I write all of the content myself in Markdown files, which get converted to HTML based on the templates I set Hugo. I keep a copy of my site on GitHub, where I use an action to automatically pull it onto the server and build it with Hugo. I used to self host on a Raspberry Pi, but it was easier in the long term to keep it on a VPS.
I used to run my email off the same VPS, however because of changes to Dovecot in Debian 13, I moved it to my domain provider. From there I was able to copy in the Dovecot IMAP files.
Using Social Media
I have a Mastodon account at @tedtriv@mastodon.social, mainly to follow people. While I have accounts created elsewhere, I probably haven’t logged into them in multiple years.
I check my email most often, so I would prefer to be contacted through that.
To keep up to date with other peoples’ sites, I follow their RSS feeds. Most of them can be found on the links page.
