=> ↺ Site update, self-hosted search via pagefind
This is a static site, meaning that no server-side processing occurs. All HTML is generated out of a few folders full of markdown source and then uploaded to the cluster. Searching on this site was always provided by a text-box form that sent you to google with 'site:raymii.org' appended to it. Works fine, but it sends all data to Google. With my recent removal of all Google Ads on this site, as well as tracking via Google Analytics, sending searches via Google seems wrong.
I recently found the pagefind program which I now use on here, it is a self hosted static site search engine of sorts.

[...]
Line editors were mainly used when most people used printing terminals, also known as teleprinters or teletypes, to interact with a computer. Since these devices printed on paper, it was impractical to print a whole file just to change a few lines. These devices also had a major influence on the length of Linux commands.
When video terminals became popular, many people switched to screen editors because they could see the whole file at once. Most users found this far more convenient than the old line editors, and they stuck with them with the transition from terminals connected to a minicomputer or mainframe to desktop computers running terminal emulators and GUIs.
