 == A little about this site ==
-Well, I am the creator of this page and site. there is more to this story than just a website. Sure, the web content and the web style was composed by me. The web is based on wiki framework ([https://www.mediawiki.org/ Mediawiki]) so I setup that application to host this page. Also That would require me set up a Linux Apache MySQL PHP ([https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu LAMP]) server. So I installed and configured the server. All this Software would need to work on a reliable machine so I built a fanless i7 Server with a raid 1 array running [https://ubuntu.com/download/server Ubuntu server]. Its about 8 years old and has been operating 24/7 all this while.
-I had to set up the domain and forward network traffic to my home and configured my home router to allow internet traffic. That was done with [https://www.noip.com/ noip.com] and dynamic DNS. Recently I felt that I needed to make my self hosted site more secure with HTTPS. That turned out to be a little more challenging as I didn't want to pay for a certificate from a CA. Long story short I implemented a scheme proposed by [https://letsencrypt.org/ letsencrypt.com] where I created a [https://certbot.eff.org/ Certbot ACME client] to obtain a certificate. The fruits of that labor is what you see here. No I am not an expert in web design or Linux but I have picked up skills that I enjoy using and deploying things that I pick up and this site is a snippet of that.
