Special edition. This newsletter is itself an experiment in automated gathering and delivery — but every signal in this edition comes from inside the workshop: the week went into moving this site home onto its own foundation.
The house itself
- Content moved home — every article and every podcast episode migrated from a rented content service into an owned content system on an owned machine — nothing lost, old links redirect quietly.
- The podcast streams from its own foundation — all Temjum tæknina audio files are now self-hosted; episode durations measured from the files themselves and labels corrected.
- The navigation is back — the site header restored after an experimental period — and the summer-break banner retired.
Sovereignty
- Own machine, own certificates — a new edge server runs the site on the new foundation; TLS certificates issued and renewed automatically on our own server, HTTP/3, no middleman.
- The code comes home — the site's software is now also hosted on Sumarhús's own Git server — independent of foreign hosting providers.
- Backups every night — database and all media are backed up automatically to a separate storage box — recoverable even if the machine vanished.
Next
- The big move — the whole site moves to the new foundation once the final review is done — the speed difference is already measurable.
- More from the scribe — Skuggi, the house scribe, now keeps his own log at skuggi.sumarhus.com.
