Another year, another pointless refactor

---

Whoa, time flows by. I nuked my first VPS at Hetzner, taking my site with it. On my last holiday I finally looked at it again and thought “wouldn’t it be nice to upgrade it”.

Originally, I only wanted to change up some content, but that never works (I am sure many people who regularly look at their old code will understand). So here it is, web-dbt 2026:

Main changes

• finally got rid of Tailwind (good riddance) - only one side project left to go
• upgrade a bazillion of dependencies
• got rid of GitHub integration as I use that only as a glorified backup these days
• make use of Astro content collection for project data
• update some severely outdated sections (I am fluent barely functional in several additional programming languages now)
• made it fully static (who needs Node.js servers?)
• serve it from my living room (plz don’t hack thx)
