+ words are not a thing I am good at. this is exacerbaited when the words are about myself.
+ despite this, I shall attempt a suitable description of myself.
+

+ I am kind of a college student. it is complicated. I will be a college student with less complications by fall of 2025.
+ I like systems. particularly ones that have reasonably consistent behavior based on a set of rules. this is omnipresent in my interests.

+ list of interests:
+
technical computer things, so long as they do not involve javascript
+
infrastrusture, particularly pertaining to trains
+
languistics, especially conlangs
+
key making and lock picking

math
+
+ things that I enjoy:

friends

going on long walks

grease or oil on my skin

Timezone (this is currently broken? I don't know why. The correct time is PDT or the other one)
- its really quite odd, the commands run to generate this section are just date "+%Z (UTC%z)" and date +%T. When I run these in an ssh session, they give expected output, but when the server executes them, it thinks its in UTC. baffling.
- Timezone I am in: $[date "+%Z (UTC%z)"]
- The local time as of this page being requested was: $[date +%T]

- I will probably include information about myself that is vaguely identifiable.
- This is a bad idea, but I don't think anyone actually cares about messing with me enough to do anything bad with whatever information is available here.
- I am comically bad at writing about myself, so I will disguise my shortcomings by making a list.
-
-
I would be a senior if I was going to hichschool. I am not going to highschool because I decided it was bad and that I would be going to college instead.
-
I really like messing with anything technical, be it computers or locks (these interests are at times problematic for my highschool, but oh well).
-
In addition to standard hackery hobbies, I am interested in machining, urban planning, public transportation (especially rail vehicles (insert joke about autism)), and languistics (this one might be covered by "standard hackery hobbies"). I also seem to enjoy overusing parenthesis.
-
The number of people I know who can use my computer is 1 (me). I have really weird keybindings and use a nonstandard keyboard layout.
-
I own twelve lenovo thinkpads manufactured between 2010 and 2014.
Vaguely funny things I have done (Don't read this if you are employed by Portland public schools)

-
Nearly gotten suspended for allegedly installing (The IT department genuinely said this) """Cuban malware""" on the school network. This was entirely not grounded in reality, IT is just insane. (Minor tangent)
-
Gotten suspended for exactly one day for posting the school district's wifi password on discord (stupid, but I was bored. Also, IT was mean to me, see tangent linked above.)

+
why?
- This website is really weird from a technical standpoint.
- Firstly, I have nginx operating as a proxy service for my subdomains.
- I am not going to talk about my subdomains here because they will all probably be utterly self-explanatory, or have their own about section.
- Following this, I have a simple python script running a webserver that serves html documents and other files, as you would expect.
- The weirdness comes from the cursed custom """parser""" and syntax for the html documents.
- Any html documents in the sites files may contain an expression like "$[echo \$\[...]]" where ... is bash code.
- Upon being requested by a browser, the web server executes each instance of one of these expressions and replaces the expression with the executed expression's output.
- In addition to this, upon being requested, each instance of "{}" in a page is replaced with an arbitrary value provided by the webserver and specified by its index in the list of all "{}"s in the file.
+ I was displeased with my former status of not having a website
+
how?
- In short, I generate static content for the pages (I am unwilling to use javascript because javascript) not through any standard means but through hacky and stupid bash scripts.
- There is not a particular reason for me to do it this way, I was just bored.
- A sort of neat example of this system is the html for the directory index page (like here).
+ requests to /(.*\.)?natalieee.net/ get routed to nginx, which acts as a proxy for my subdomains.
+ nginx routes requests requests to /^natalieee.net/ to this webserver, which is named sludge.
+ requests to /.*\.natalieee.net/ are routed according to the /.*\.natalieee.net/ section.

sludge
+
what is a sludge?
+
s[ite][k]ludge is my from-scratch webserver. it has features.
+
why?
+
I dislike "web development". also, I was bored.
+
what does sludge do?
+
+
send data
+
receive data
+
process data
+
create new data
+
move data
+
coerce data[types]
+
other verbs prepended to data
+
+
how does sludge?
+
+ sludge receives requests for paths. if these paths are in the routing table, it determines what it should respond with. generally, if the path starts with /html/, it will read an html document from the filesystem.
+ following this, it will locate any instance of "{key}" and replace these instances with a value determined by a function associated to the route being requested in the routing table.
+ after substituting these values, it will find any instances of the pattern "$[echo \$\[...]]", where ... is a valid bash expression. for each match, it replaces the original matching text with the output of said text executed in bash.
+ this functions as a static sight generator. an example of this is the headers on this site, which are included via the following expression: "$[echo \$\[include ./html/header.html]]"
+
+
+ sludge also has the ability to apply arbitrary edits to outgoing data prior to said data being sent, but after it has been generated. you may observe this here.

$[make-link https://git.natalieee.net]: Gitea instance. You may use it if you feel so inclined for some reason. I wouldn't.
$[make-link https://dns.natalieee.net]: Pointless CNAME record to my main domain so that entities using my dns (A number greater than 0!) can put dns.natalieee.net down as their nameserver instead of natalieee.net.

- At the moment, this site is running on some dell optiplex 3040 (I think?) I have in my basement.
- In the future, I would like to get this running on the server that I took from the basement of my school (with permission of an employee who I am pretty sure did not have the authority to allow me to do this, but I'm not complaining).
-
- I have moved this site to the server I took from school. See server-migration.html
