  1. What this site measures, and why nobody can be identified in it

    This site now keeps statistics on how it's used, with Umami on my own server. What exactly I see, why it isn't Google Analytics, and why that data is never sold or shared. Safe · 3 min read

  2. Why I run my own cloud (and why you don't have to)
