About

Hello! I’m a bdeshi and this is my place to dump words.

Okay, I’m actually a Bangladeshi human (probably) 😅. I code in python, run Archlinux, play with application servers, and spend most of the rest of my time planning big projects and putting them in the backlog.

I’m trying to write tidbits about code, programs, internet, pixel art, literature, and other random stuff.

Why this domain? Why that nickname?

There’s no big secret here. I chose the nick bdeshi a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. It went like this: I’m Bangladeshi → Bangladeshi → BDeshi → bdeshi. Also, the word “bideshi” means “foreigner” in Bangla. As is traditional for professional extreme introverts, I feel like a stranger even among my own people 😅.

This site is my place to post my blog and random personal works. Also, I run a bunch of services for personal use on different subdomains here. In other words, this is my space, so bdeshi’s space → bdeshi.space. You see, a lot of careful thought went into choosing this domain.

Nah, actually the .space tld was cheapest when I way looking to get a domain! 😁

What’s the site made of?

This site is currently:

• conjured with Jekyll, and hosted on Github.
• made with Bashblog-ng. no option for comments, if you have comments, mail me.
• generated with Hugo, with the Enigmo theme (a fork of Minimo). Utterances allows comments via Github issues.
• built with Lektor, with customizations over the default configuration.
• produced with Pelican, and comments are managed by a self-hosted Isso instance.
• published on a self-hosted Known server, using default settings.
• served by WordPress, with a customized Schism theme. And plugins, so many plugins.
• running on Grav, with a bunch of plugins, styled with either Editorial or hypertext.
• TODO: (Constructed with a custom blog engine.)

This site is connected with the Fediverse and Indieweb. As long as the backend is working properly, you can follow this site and send comments from Mastodon, Friendica, GNUSocial etc. Comments, replies and quotations can be made to and from other Indieweb-connected sites.
Sadly Fediverse integration on this blog has multiple problems right now.

Site updates are published on RSS as usual, as well as activitypub, micropub, and JSONFeed.
