wesl.ee is my personal wiki; it is similar to a blog but there is no
focus on the chronology of the things I write; instead the site is organized by
the connections and links between different ideas. The site is generated from
plaintext files using ikiwiki as a static-site generator. The text
files are available and are
versioned as a git repository though it's more pleasant to read the rendered
HTML than the plaintext files themselves. I promise that you're not missing
anything.
In addition to being the title of this site wesl-ee is also a name I use
as a handle on the Internet. I'm not anon but I like the handle better.
Site Hosting / Decentralization
I host the canonical version of this site, https://wesl.ee,
on a rented VPS that I originally only hosted a Garry's Mod server on. Before
it was uploaded to the VPS the site ran on a self-hosted server which I operated
on my home connection.
As a decentralized alternative to accessing the site from my VPS an exact copy
of the site is also uploaded to IPFS whenever I make any changes. It is
available at /ipns/k2k4r8mboahxabdczxp817ktff8blpdo6z32kjw5qjuvlc9c56tjbr9m.
Installing an add-on like IPFS
companion may make browsing IPFS
sites like mine easier. I have a few servers that ensure the wiki is pinned and
always available, though it should theoretically be available as long as people
are accessing it.
Finally if you're not keen on remembering that long IPNS URL I've reserved the
wesl-ee.eth name on the Ethereum Name Service; that name points to
this same content on IPFS, only the wesl-ee.eth name is far easier to remember.
I have this .eth domain name reserved until 2032 so you should have plenty of
time to browse through the wiki (⌒▽⌒)☆
Here's a breakdown of all pages on this wiki ordered by time of creation. This
is definitely the least-cool way to browse the site; I find it more fun to just
keep clicking on the blue links and wander around but this is provided to give
less-accessible pages some visibility too.
