Hi! I'm Jo and you can find me attending HWC Europe, occasionally attending fresh and also in other IndieWeb online meetings when I have time (also you can find me in the chat). I've only been "self" hosting since about 2022 and had a few sites on NeoCities and various PubNIXes before that.

My site :^)

My domain is dead.garden and it's called that because it sounds cool and is poetic or something. I have a website but the domain is also available via the gemini, gopher and finger protocol.

Contents

I have a blog but also show my watched films and books I'm reading; as well as an unprofessional portfolio and a photo feed. I also share poetry and in the German zone I put up notes from lectures (so if you speak German you can learn about computers for free if you can decipher what the hell I'm saying in my notes).

Technologies

My site is static and hand written for the most part, though the blog is generated using a personally adapted version of the static site generator bashblog. I have forked this thing to include stuff like webmention support (with webmention.io and webmention.js) and microformats. It can be much improved but I wanted to get it out there.

At the moment my site is served by nginx and hosted on a VPS in Frankfurt.

My gemini capsule runs on jetforce, my gopherhole uses Gophernicus and my finger server is efingerd.

past technologies

I used to have a CGI script that displayed my current song on Spotify but that hasn't been working since some changes happened from Spotify's side. I hope I can bring it back some day. I also had an internet radio that used icecast2 and ices, but I've discontinued this. I wrote about my approach to the radio on my blog
