|
## Introduction
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This is the personal website of Lucien “Phundrak” Cartier-Tilet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This website is entirely free and open-source. You can find its source
|
|||
|
code on my Gitea instance
|
|||
|
[here](https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/phundrak.com). Icons used on
|
|||
|
this website come from different sources:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- [IcoMoon](https://icomoon.io/), which I use to consolidate all of my
|
|||
|
icons into a single font, including some default icons from their
|
|||
|
website (check it out, it’s really cool!)
|
|||
|
- [FontAwesome](https://fontawesome.com/) where most of my icons come
|
|||
|
from. Their Vue and Nuxt integration feels really wonky to me, so I
|
|||
|
prefer to instead just grab their SVGs and use them manually.
|
|||
|
- The [Language Creation Society](https://conlang.org/) who’s logo I
|
|||
|
modified a bit in order to fit better being an icon.
|
|||
|
- [Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) which I remade its logo
|
|||
|
into an SVG (I haven’t found any official SVG of their modern logo).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Where is the website hosted?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This website is hosted on my private physical server, located in the
|
|||
|
town of Bron in France, near Lyon. All of my websites are also hosted
|
|||
|
on this server, except for
|
|||
|
[`labs.phundrak.com`](https://labs.phundrak.com) and
|
|||
|
`mail.phundrak.com` which are hosted on servers rented to Scaleway and
|
|||
|
OVH France respectively. These servers are also located in France.
|
|||

## Cookies
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### What are cookies?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Cookies are small files a website saves on your computer or mobile
|
|||
|
phone when you visit a website. site. Although not all sites make use
|
|||
|
of them, they are nevertheless extremely common in order to allow
|
|||
|
websites to function properly or function properly or more
|
|||
|
efficiently.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This website uses some functional cookies in order to remember your
|
|||
|
preferences, such as your preferred language or its color theme. These
|
|||
|
cookies are not and cannot be used to track you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
However, as this site is protected by Cloudflare, they may also host
|
|||
|
some cookies to remember, for example, that your browser is safe or to
|
|||
|
record traffic to the site.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### How can I control cookies on my computer?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you don't want Cloudflare to record your browsing activity on my
|
|||
|
website, a good adblocker should do the trick. I personally recommend
|
|||
|
[uBlock Origin](https://ublockorigin.com/), one of the most effective
|
|||
|
adblockers I know of if not the most effective one.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can also manually delete cookies from your browser, but given the
|
|||
|
number of browsers out there, it might be quicker for you to look up
|
|||
|
DuckDuckGo, Qwant or Startpage to do this for your current browser (if
|
|||
|
you're worried about cookie usage, I guess you'll want to avoid
|
|||
|
Google).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### What about other methods of tracking users?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There are other more subtle methods of tracking someone on the
|
|||
|
internet, or even via emails or any web content rendered on the
|
|||
|
screen, such as web beacons (extremely small images). It is also
|
|||
|
possible to store Flash cookies or local shared objects.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This site does not use them at all.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Is there targeted advertisement on this website?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There’s no advertisement to begin with. If you see any, check your
|
|||
|
computer and browser for virus, that is not normal.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## How often is this page updated?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It is updated from time to time to reflect any changes in how my
|
|||
|
website behaves, or if I notice errors on this page (such as typos). I
|
|||
|
might add some user tracking, however don’t worry, Matomo (the service
|
|||
|
I would use) would only track you on this website and this website
|
|||
|
only. Matomo respects the privacy of a website’s users.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The date of the last update of this web page can be found at its very
|
|||
|
beginning.
|
|||
|
|
|||

|||
