this site
- Astro
- Static pages. A little JavaScript for the lights switch, the ticker, and the live bits.
- Hono + SQLite
- A tiny API in its own container for the guestbook, the visitor counter, and now playing. It also speaks MCP, so my agents can moderate the guestbook.
- Self-hosted
- nginx in a Docker container on the Proxmox box in my lab. GitHub Actions builds the image and pushes it to GHCR.
- Pixelify Sans, Silkscreen, DM Mono
- Served from this site, not from Google.
- 88x31 buttons
- Drawn pixel by pixel in a script. Grab mine on the links page.
