New Site

Ntldr has returned! Sort of. There is this spiffy new site. Everything before this site though...err...well, I have backups somewhere. Maybe at some point I'll bring that stuff back, but don't hold your breath or anything.

Anyway, info about the new platform! "Source code" is hosted in Git on Codeberg in a private repository. Actually serving the site is done with statichost. The static site generator in use is Zola, although I'm a bit ambivalent about the possible usage of LLM's by the project. Theming is with Tanuki...with a hatchet taken to it to hack out all the bits I don't think I need (but which will probably turn out to be kinda important). DNS is still provided by Gandi. Not linking to them because I'm not very happy with the changes since being acquired; still staying because I have another 4 years left until my domains need renewal.

So, why a new platform? Kind of wanted to have an outlet for my thoughts. Mostly though it was because Azure was retiring a service I used to host the bland placeholder page I had parked here for years. The suggested "migration plan" involved moving to a different service with a minimum cost of 45$/month (+ usage fees) just to host the text "ntldr will return one day". Or around 2$/character. Or approximately 1 year of tuition for my daughter when she gets to college in 17 years. Which just irritated me.
