Max Katz-Christy

Hello! Welcome to my website. I finally have one. I’ve made a number for other people, and a few for myself a while ago. Maybe this is “the one”. Maybe not. We’ll see in a few weeks.

My plan is to blog here. Hopefully the posts are interesting. We will see. Maybe this will inspire me to do more projects. Maybe it will scare me away because then I have to write about them.

For now, check out my first big post!

Tech Stack

Hardware

This website is hosted from a Lenovo Thinkpad T480 sitting on top of my mom’s desktop in Boston. Sometimes I gotta ask my mom to give my server a kick for me to get it up and running.

Containerization

Docker! Deployed via OpenTofu

See my repo here for more

Git Hosting/CI/CD

I use Forgejo! I really like it. I host my own Forgejo instance here.

It uses the docker based runners so it compiles and deploys via a docker volume much faster than github. It’s not even a custom runner… It installs zola and then deploys the site.

Static Site Generation

I use Zola with the Duckquill theme.

Why?

I dunno, it’s pretty cool to run entirely my own stuff though!
