Hello World
If you are reading this, you are most likely viewing it on https://foswret.com. That is if I remember to pay for the domain and server.
For the longest time, I had been hosting my personal website through GitHub Pages. This worked well, but I was unhappy with the domain name being constrained to .github.io. I could have simply bought a domain and had it direct to the .github.io address, but if I was going to go through the trouble of buying a domain I might as well rent a VPS as well.
In terms of cost, the domain and VPS were not much. All together, it come out to a few bucks per month. Paying this small fee per month is honestly a better allocation of funds than buying a subscription to a service that purposely blocks functionality as an incentive to buy in.
Everything on this website is built with Hugo. Im also now hosting a git server in conjunction with this website. I’ve got a few things hosted there as of right now like my dotfiles and two programs, but I hope that I’ll come to host many more projects on there. I will eventually host this website’s theme as well once I feel like everything looks good.
So, that is how this website came to be. I may be the only soul to read this website, but at least it has been a rewarding experience setting this up and grants me a little more ownership in my online presence.
