About bx.ee

The bx.ee server is a personal sandbox for testing and experimenting with x64 Linux and x64 Windows (under KVM), in part due to using MacBook Pro M1 Max (aarch64 CPU) as a daily driver. The server is a Dell R820 2U that I bought and rebuilt with 256GB of memory and 4TB NVMe.

This site is developed by hand in vim using html5 and css, combined with Caddy's server side includes.
