*I don't consider myself to be a web developer, but I've learned a **ton** through the process of building/tweaking/maintaining this site. The [colophon](https://indieweb.org/colophon) provides a quick overview of what powers `runtimeterror.dev`.*

### This site...
- is built with [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) based on the [risotto](https://github.com/joeroe/risotto) theme with many, many tweaks and customizations.
- uses the font face [Berkeley Mono](https://berkeleygraphics.com/typefaces/berkeley-mono/) ([details](/using-custom-font-hugo/)), and icons from [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/) and [Fork Awesome](https://forkaweso.me/).
- performs syntax highlighting with [Torchlight](https://torchlight.dev) ([details](/spotlight-on-torchlight/)).
- provides site search with [lunr](https://lunrjs.com/) based on an implementation detailed by [Victoria Drake](https://victoria.dev/blog/add-search-to-hugo-static-sites-with-lunr/).
- uses [Dark Visitors](https://darkvisitors.com/docs/robots-txt)'s API to dynamically generate a [robots.txt](/robots.txt) discouraging AI scrapers with some Hugo code from [Luke Harris](https://github.com/lkhrs/hugo-dark-visitors).
- leverages [Cabin](https://withcabin.com) for [privacy-friendly](https://withcabin.com/privacy/runtimeterror.dev) analytics.
- resolves via [Bunny DNS](https://bunny.net/dns/).
- is published to / hosted on [Bunny Storage](https://bunny.net/storage/) and [Bunny CDN](https://bunny.net/cdn/) with a [GitHub Actions workflow](//further-down-the-bunny-hole/).
- has a [Gemini](https://geminiprotocol.net) mirror at `gemini://gmi.runtimeterror.dev`. This is generated from a [Hugo gemtext post layout](https://github.com/jbowdre/runtimeterror/blob/main/layouts/_default/single.gmi), deployed to a [Vultr](https://www.vultr.com/) VPS through that same GitHub Actions workflow, and served with [Agate](https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate).
