Technical aspect

This website is powered by a Rust static site generator (with a tight coupling generator/content) using the library svaiter/pullorg. Most of the content is written in org-mode and authored in GNU Emacs. Individual page sources are available (pre-compiled). For instance, the source of this page is available here.

Hosting & deployment is provided by Netlify except for larger files (pdf, videos) hosted by Cloudfare R2 service. Domain is handled by OVH. Thin and GDPR-compliant analytics are provided by GoatCounter.

I try to keep a AI disclosure on each page where AI was used at some point, giving a bit more explanations.
