Welcome on the about page of my personal website. This page is comparable to the README of this website. You can
|
|
find the features and a <a href="#readers-guide">readers guide</a> here. {% if site.categories['site'].size > 0 %}
|
|
Furthermore you will find below all <a href="#blog-posts">blog posts</a> related to the site itself.{% endif %}

<h2>Features</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Despite being a simple collection of static pages and posts, this website has some features that differentiate it
|
|
from others.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul class="list-unstyled text-justify">
|
|
<li><span class="font-weight-bold">No Tracking</span>: You read correct. This website doesn't use any tracker. Zero.</li>
|
|
<li><span class="font-weight-bold">No Cookies</span>:
|
|
This website doesn't use any cookies. Hence it cannot connect two visits to the same device.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="font-weight-bold">(Almost) no javascript</span>:
|
|
This site uses almost no javascript. Javascript is only used to make the menus responsive, to replace the
|
|
Font Awesome span elements with svg elements, to offer a "back-to-top" button and to load images on demand to
|
|
make site loading faster.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="font-weight-bold">(Almost) no external requests</span>:
|
|
To protect your privacy as good as possible, the amount of external requests is as low as possible. External
|
|
requests are only used for embedded videos, to load the slim version of jQuery and whenever external media
|
|
is referenced.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="font-weight-bold">Privacy-friendly CDN</span>:
|
|
The external media is saved in an S3 storage bucket, which resides in Frankfurt/Main and is encrypted on the
|
|
server-side. The media is then distributed by Cloud Front to Europe, the US and Canada. Only HTTPS connections
|
|
are allowed by Cloud Front. No access logs are created as far as it is in my control. Perhaps Amazon creates
|
|
access logs themselves. A custom sub domain named cdn.2martens.de is used to fetch this media.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="font-weight-bold">Privacy-friendly embedded videos</span>:
|
|
Embedded YouTube videos use the youtube-nocookie.com domain which proclaims that no data is stored about the
|
|
website visitors until they actually click to play the video.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="font-weight-bold">Uberspace-powered</span>:
|
|
This site is hosted on Uberspace 7. That is the new version of Uberspace hosts which is currently in Public Beta.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="readers-guide">Readers guide</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The posts are grouped by categories. These can be found on the main menu. In addition you can find my publications
|
|
under Computer Science. The reports from the G20 special committee in Hamburg can be found under Politics and there
|
|
under G20. The Blog category contains all posts that don't match other categories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Furthermore I created a page about the
|
|
<a href="{% link pages/snowden-refugees.html %}">Snowden refugees</a> which lists ways in which
|
|
you can help them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Don't be surprised about multiple languages. I speak German and English and therefore my posts will be sometimes
|
|
in German and sometimes in English. There is no automatic translation or similar stuff available. If you can't live
|
|
with it, use Google Translator or similar tools. But I can't guarantee that these translations will be correct.
