JavaScript without betraying the premise
If you follow this site, you know it has one non-negotiable premise: I don’t
track visitors. No Google Analytics, no pixels, no third-party cookies, no
fingerprinting. I don’t know who visited, I don’t know how many people visited,
I don’t know where anyone came from. And I like it that way.
For a long time that premise traveled together with an implicit rule: no
JavaScript. But the site now runs two scripts. The first is the
light/dark theme toggle,
which arrived a short while ago. The second, newer still, is the set of random
BBS-style taglines that show up below the header. This post exists to explain
why that doesn’t break the premise, and to share some housekeeping I did on
the site’s structure while I was at it.

GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a free implementation of the OpenPGP standard. It allows you to create cryptographic key pairs to digitally sign files and messages, as well as encrypt them to ensure confidentiality. It’s an essential tool for anyone serious about digital security.

Let’s cut the fluff: if you care about privacy, speed, and having full control over your stack, running LLMs locally is no longer optional — it’s survival. Cloud’s nice until it’s not. Especially when your data is the product and your API bill explodes overnight.
I put this guide together because I wanted LLMs running locally, even with limited hardware — no vendor lock-in, no middlemen sniffing packets, just raw local compute. And yes, I run this stuff daily on a MacBook Air M1 with 16GB RAM. Modest? Yep. Enough? Hell yes.
