About me

Hey there!
My name is Johannes, and I'm a computer enthusiast born and raised in Germany. Recently, I graduated from school, majoring in IT and English, and I am now training to become an IT specialist. I am passionate about most things related to technology, but specifically I am passionate about using free and open-source software, exploring different aspects of Linux, setting up and tinkering with servers, and learning about online privacy and security. When I'm not busy with the command line, I enjoy playing video games and building/modifying mechanical keyboards. Apart from computers I enjoy making my own pourover coffee, I am a big fan of technical fashion and I like cars.

About this website

While I might not have been using the internet much or at all during the web 1.0 times (which this site was originally modeled after) I do believe that modern websites are unnecessarly bloated in many ways. They contain ads and trackers (that's just how capitalism works, I can't really complain about that) but also so much useless JavaScript. I agree that it is very useful in certain areas but sometimes it is just not needed. Like in the case of a news site, or a recipe site, which in my opinion could just be served statically without much (or any) JavaScript. Because of this, I created this website, to make a small contribution to the debloated minimal web. Just pure HTML and CSS with some (useful) quality of life JavaScript. No ads, trackers, or cookies.
It is also free and Open Source under the GNU General Public License V3, which you can find here.

What happened to this site?

I have recently taken an interest in a lot of different elements of design. While I was previously already quite interested in interior design, my recent deep dive into the design rabbit hole led me to learn about a lot of different design languages, different designers, and aspects of design like product design or, more importantly, graphic design. After seeing a few different images online, I felt inspired and decided to redesign my own website.
