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 also run my Email myself from this server.
Using Social Media
I don’t use social media very much, but I have a Mastodon account at @tedtriv@mastodon.social, mainly to follow people.
Elsewhere, I have set up accounts, but these are unused. 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.
