Projects
You can read about my work in /projects. Most FOSS stuff is on GitHub, a few new ones on Codeberg.
Fediverse
I'm a big believer in the work happening on the fediverse. It's a “new” place where people from different social networks can see, chat, and follow each other.
It's using open-source software, with servers maintained by volunteers, funded by the community—all on the social web standard.
I run nutmeg.social, a Mastodon server for #Connecticut, USA.
This site
This site is built on 11ty, styled in Tailwind, made dynamic with Alpine. Managed with Coolify, hosted on Hetzner, behind Cloudflare. I've posted about “Why 11ty with Alpine” and my “Move to Hetzner and Coolify.”
