About This Site

This site runs on Cloudflare Workers. It's built with a custom static site generator and has historically used: Wordpress, Silvrback, Ghost, Hugo, Jekyll.

Comments are powered by a home-brew system: D1 for storage, Turnstile for spam protection, and optional GitHub OAuth so you can post with your profile or comment anonymously. New comments go through a Workflows moderation pipeline (AI check + email notifications via Queues).

Posts older than 2015 use Disqus for comments.
