Colophon

This is a deliberately minimal setup: a flat‑file PHP blog running on standard shared hosting. The machinery is small by design, because the job is simple: serve text to browsers.

Platform

This site runs on Pure Blog, a flat‑file PHP blog engine that reads posts from .md files in the filesystem and renders them into HTML. There is no database; content lives in the file system, and the engine rebuilds pages from Markdown on each request.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Cyberin shared hosting with PHP 8.3. The stack is vanilla PHP on a shared environment, without containers, orchestration, or edge‑level complexity.

Content

All content is written in Markdown and stored as .md files, which is later converted into HTML. The model is straightforward, portable, and easy to edit.

Publishing

The site exposes a main RSS feed for posts and a separate feed for notes. Posts and notes are cross‑posted to Mastodon and Bluesky, so the same text often appears in multiple places. Mastodon "notes" are kept local to the profile, while posts are treated as public entries.

Design

The layout follows Pure Blog’s default patterns: simple typography, clean spacing, and a focus on readability. The only notable change is the color palette, which has been customized. Beyond that, the design stays minimal, with no extra CSS frameworks or heavy visual complexity.

What this site does not use

This site does not use:

• A database
• A CDN
• Analytics or tracking scripts
• Comments
• A contact form

There is no complex image‑processing pipeline or build‑step. The goal is a stack that is small, inspectable, and easy to own, even if it lacks the usual "modern web" frills.
