Welcome to my Website. This is a playground for me to try different tools and write a few words about it. I added some remarks on my decisions below.

The Name

Back in university I enjoyed probability theory and real analysis. In this context, properties may apply almost surely -- a simple but subtle concept with a somewhat funny name.

The Actual Website

I wanted to create a simple, nice-enough looking static website with my content specified in markdown(-ish) format. Hugo seems to be quite popular for that, but I found it difficult to work with and switched over to Zola which has a much nicer documentation and attitude in general.

I chose the template terminimal as I liked its design and the absence of JavaScript and references to external URLs (e.g. Google CDN). I took their example and filled it with personal content.

The Deployment

I chose Codeberg for hosting the git repo as I prefer local and community-driven organization over the data harvesting Github. When I researched hosting plattforms for static sites, I looked into Cloudflare pages first. But then I discovered that that I can publish a static website directly on Codeberg Pages via Forgejo actions -- cool! Just build the side in a container on the 'tiny' runner VM and here we go. To support Codeberg I donated a few euros.

Possible Improvements for DNS

I am not happy with the manual DNS setup on Namecheap for my domain. A terraform approach via e.g. Cloudflare or some community-driven DNS service would be nicer. But for now -- good enough for me.
