* About metanohi
|
|
|
|
This is metanohi, the personal website of [[./niels][Niels G. W. Serup]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Copying
|
|
|
|
In general, text, images, code and any other type of work on metanohi are
|
|
available under the [[http://www.wtfpl.net/][Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License (WTFPL)]]; read
|
|
about this choice [[/writings/non-copylefted][here]]. There may be cases with other licenses. The status of
|
|
a page can be seen in the bottom in a metadata box. If no license is specified
|
|
in the box, it's either because I forgot to apply one to the page, or it's
|
|
because the page has almost no content (like the "Page not found" page) and does
|
|
not really require a license.
|
|
|
|
If you use something from metanohi, please attribute Niels G. W. Serup and
|
|
metanohi (unless it's not by Niels, which is rare). When doing that, write
|
|
something like "Niels G. W. Serup, [[http://metanohi.name/][metanohi.name]]".
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Source code
|
|
|
|
metanohi is run by [[/projects/mege/][mege]]. If you want to use it for a new website (I wouldn't),
|
|
you may wish to use metanohi as a template.
|
|
|
|
Get the main site:
|
|
: $ git clone git://metanohi.name/metanohi-metanohi
|
|
|
|
Get the subsites:
|
|
: $ git clone git://metanohi.name/metanohi-meta
|
|
|
|
|
|
** SSL/TLS
|
|
|
|
You can access metanohi from HTTPS. metanohi uses a [[http://cacert.org][CAcert]]. To make your browser
|
|
automatically accept CAcerts, follow the instructions on [[https://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/BrowserClients][CAcerts wiki]]; it
|
|
doesn't take long.

** History
|
|
|
|
#+caption: This alien wonders why 'metanohi' was picked.
|
|
#&img;url=/img/aliens/makrh.png, float=right,noclear, width=100
|
|
|
|
metanohi was created in 2009 as a spinoff of earlier projects with equally
|
|
undefined purposes. Back then the website was at metanohi./org/ instead of
|
|
metanohi./name/.
|
|
*Note:* While most of the content from the old metanohi has been ported to this
|
|
improved version, the modification times have not been saved. This is why old
|
|
projects from 2009 and 2010 appear to have been created in July or August, 2011.
|
|
|
|
*** Choice of name
|
|
|
|
There are several reasons for the choice of "metanohi": + It's unique
|
|
+ It's simple + It has the meta prefix, which automatically transforms anything into
|
|
something cool
|
|
+ "metanohi", or at least part of "metanohi", has meanings in some languages

** Language
|
|
|
|
metanohi is generally only available in English. A few pages are in Danish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Miscellaneous
|
|
|
|
metanohi is mostly XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2 valid. Currently, metanohi.name pages
|
|
are served as text/html and not as application/xml+xhtml (as they should). This
|
|
might get fixed (it is extremely easy to fix, but if fixed, some things
|
|
depending on external JavaScript which depends on non-XHTML, like the FSF
|
|
widget on the propaganda page, might cease to work).
