Privacy

Short version: no cookies, no advertising, no tracking scripts, and nothing that follows you around the internet.

What happens when you read a post

The site counts how many times each post is viewed and shared. To avoid counting the same reader twice in a day, the server combines your IP address and browser type with a random secret and turns the result into a scrambled code (a hash). Your IP address itself is never saved. The codes are deleted every day shortly after midnight UTC, and what remains is a number per post.

If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, your visit is not counted at all.

What is kept in your browser

One thing: whether you picked the light or dark theme. It stays on your device and is never sent anywhere.

Things that only load if you ask

• Comments are GitHub Discussions, shown through giscus. Nothing is requested from GitHub or giscus until you press “Load comments”. Posting a comment needs a GitHub account, and the comment is public on GitHub under that account.
• Share buttons are plain links. Nothing is sent to LinkedIn, Bluesky, Twitter, Reddit or Facebook unless you click one, and then you are on their site under their rules.

Search runs entirely in your browser. Fonts and images are served from this site, not from a third party.

Who else is involved

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which handles every request the way any web host does. The view counts are stored there too.
