#+title: mir's little website

* welcome... to the mirverse

where the only gray is a blurry fractal.

*this is to be an archive and dumping ground of thoughts. of words and ideas and code. it is _not_ a blog, nor much of a wiki.*

and perhaps that's okay

idk

* new stuff

- how i pirate audiobooks

* how this thing works

** tl;dr:

You are seeing this page just like im seeing it in my Emacs! this is possible thanks to the built-in =htmlize= package.

Thanks to some +minor regex fnaegling+ careful structure management, links to other org files in my site directory are also resolved to their corresponding html.

** l;r:

It's slightly complicated

if you're seeing this, it works! or at least it worked twice...

* stuff im doin

- i run the fediverse instance talk.marq42.xyz for myself and a few internet friends. i believe self hosting an instance is one of the better ways to experience the fediverse, if you do it right. some have done it wrong and i could probably write a brief article about that. later maybe. fediverse

- ive been running NixOS :nixos: for most of 2024, but finally getting the hang of giving GNU Guix a proper shot. partly due to the nix community drama over military sponsorship, and partly because guix is configured in Guile Scheme, a lisp, of which i better understand and appreciate the syntax. declarative linux distributions are definitely not for everyone, but i really do appreciate the deployability aspect and central store of configuration.

- +well, there's the Atari 800 that doesn't work... actually, it does mostly work i just don't have much of anything to do with it. never mind+ WARNING: DOZENS OF VERY LARGE IMAGES
