Updated theme

After some years of patching the hugo theme files of geo-hugo for each home page (or rather Hugo) update, I moved to the anatole theme. This looks more modern and seems better supported. Hopefully the rest of the site survived and you can now switch the site to dark mode.

Replace the rotating globe browser benchmark

Unfortunately the rotating globe that looked so nice the first two minutes in the hugo theme gallery turns out to be a real resource drain. I’m working on another JS visual toy with less impact on the climate.

A post via Hugo

I finally replaced the 10 year old contact page with this one based on the Hugo static site generator and Emacs org-mode and its hugo exporter ox-hugo. It is probably not much nicer, but easier to maintain. Since Hugo sites are static html, they do not attract the usual wordpress spam and all content can be maintained in a single org-mode file.
