v0.2.1: footer, scanline avatar, tag split, dash cleanup
- Footer: substrate line claiming the self-hosted stack (container, Traefik, 10G fiber, Forgejo registry, Terraform). The point is the substrate.
- Avatar: CSS-only emphasized scanline treatment (color photo + 1px CRT lines at 0.28 opacity, slight contrast boost). Pulls the photo into the page's terminal aesthetic without re-encoding the source image.
- Interest tags split into two visually distinct groups: PROFESSIONAL (accent border, accent text, tinted background) and OUTSIDE (default tag style). Keeps the at-a-glance technical credentialing for scanners while letting the personal tags read as personality.
- Find me sidebar: Forgejo link now flagged with a small "self-hosted" badge in the same accent style as the project tech pills.
- Layout tightening: main max-width 64rem -> 60rem, padding 1.5rem -> 1.25rem, sidebar 18rem -> 16rem, column gap 3rem -> 2.25rem, project list spacing tightened, footer max-width 36rem -> 32rem. Body has overflow-x: hidden as a safety net and several elements got overflow-wrap: break-word.
- Bio cleanup: removed the generic "exploring agentic AI" sentence that pulled punches. (Tracked for replacement in archeious/unbiasedgeek-com#2.)
- Not into copy: cryptocurrency + tribal arguments (vim vs. emacs, tabs vs. spaces, pineapple on pizza). Replaced "tech holy wars" with "tribal arguments" for tone.
- Prose dash cleanup: replaced all `--` separators with the right punctuation per the new global rule (parens, ellipsis, comma, colon based on intent). Single hyphens preserved for compound modifiers and prefixes.
- Added docs/session-13-transcript.md capturing the session story.

- Interest tags split into two visually distinct groups: PROFESSIONAL (accent border, accent text, tinted background) and OUTSIDE (default tag style). Keeps the at-a-glance technical credentialing for scanners while letting the personal tags read as personality.
- Find me sidebar: Forgejo link now flagged with a small "self-hosted" badge in the same accent style as the project tech pills.
- Layout tightening: main max-width 64rem -> 60rem, padding 1.5rem -> 1.25rem, sidebar 18rem -> 16rem, column gap 3rem -> 2.25rem, project list spacing tightened, footer max-width 36rem -> 32rem. Body has overflow-x: hidden as a safety net and several elements got overflow-wrap: break-word.
- Bio cleanup: removed the generic "exploring agentic AI" sentence that pulled punches. (Tracked for replacement in archeious/unbiasedgeek-com#2.)
- Not into copy: cryptocurrency + tribal arguments (vim vs. emacs, tabs vs. spaces, pineapple on pizza). Replaced "tech holy wars" with "tribal arguments" for tone.
- Prose dash cleanup: replaced all `--` separators with the right punctuation per the new global rule (parens, ellipsis, comma, colon based on intent). Single hyphens preserved for compound modifiers and prefixes.
- Added docs/session-13-transcript.md capturing the session story.

Served from a container on bare metal in my basement, behind
Traefik, behind a 10 Gbps fiber drop. Built and deployed by
Terraform from a Forgejo container registry I also run. The
substrate is the point.
