About This Site

Framework

This is a Jekyll site with a custom theme and layout.

The site should be mobile friendly.

The site does not use JavaScript or cookies.

Fonts

I use FontAwesome for the icons on the landing page and a couple of fonts from Google Web Fonts. All assets are hosted locally.

ASCII Art

The ASCII art is credited with the artists’s “tag” or initials. Most is taken from https://asciiart.website/ and https://ascii.co.uk/art.

Hosting

I’ve hosted my website(s) all sorts of ways over the years - most commonly on servers at home, sometimes on VPS instances, various static web hosts, and currently on AWS S3 with AWS CloudFront.

Build and Deployment

I maintain the website itself from the joshbeard/joshbeard.me-website repository on GitHub.

I’m using GitHub Actions for building and deploying the website.

To deploy the AWS resources, I use Terraform in the joshbeard/joshbeard.me-website repository.

Other Protocols

Gemini: gemini://jbeard.co
Gopher: gopher://jbeard.co

See my Small Internet Stack page for information about this and more.

Status

I have an UptimeRobot Status Page.

Photos

I deploy my photos to their own S3 bucket from my workstation instead of storing them all in Git. I use a customized Jekyll plugin to generate the HTML pages for these photo albums. These photos are also mounted and available to my Gopher and Gemini sites (gopherhole and capsule, I guess).
