ChangeLog
All notes are copied verbatim.
2026
- Spring cleaning. Pruned dead links (old dev subdomain, defunct mirror), repaired the startpage hockey links, and shrank the heaviest images to fit the 250 KB budget. The startpage's Source Code Pro font is now self-hosted instead of pulled from Google, and the site's security headers were tidied so nginx is the single source of CSP truth.more (2026) →
- Small-web day. Brought the Gemini capsule and Gopher hole fully online — fixed the servers, set them to start automatically with the box, and wrote a proper Gopher menu and Gemini index. The Gemini capsule now serves over the real sillylaird.ca certificate. Added Gemini and Gopher buttons to the header across the whole site and every subdomain, alongside the existing Tor and I2P links. Launched a gemlog (the Gemini name for a blog) at gemini://sillylaird.ca/gemlog/, mirrored automatically from the web blog. Also tidied this changelog: removed a duplicate copy on the homepage, fixed a truncated entry, and backfilled the real history of everything built this year.more (2026) →
- Site refresh. Removed leftover test posts; reorganised the navigation into labelled categories and added a "Where to start" section on the homepage. The Last.fm and radio widgets now fall back gracefully when offline or when JavaScript is unavailable, and video embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Bilibili, Niconico) load on click for faster, more private page loads. Tidied typography and mobile spacing throughout. Consolidated the blog, changelog, vibe, and guestbook tools into a single admin panel. Explore the site for more features!more (2026) →
- Went onto the alt-nets. The site now has a Tor onion service and an I2P mirror, plus onion- and I2P-only contact addresses, so you can reach me without touching the clearnet.more (2026) →
- Built a small-web bridge. Added a Gemini proxy and a Gemini search to the clearnet site so you can browse Geminispace straight from the browser without a dedicated client.more (2026) →
- Put a radio station online at radio.sillylaird.ca with a live now-playing feed wired into the homepage widget.more (2026) →
