+the static site generator i'm using to kickstart this blog[1] requires a single post to exist in order to compile, and failing to provide a post sends <code>make</code> into an infinite loop.
+</p>
+<p>
+so without further ado... here it is, my first post!
+</p>
+<p>
+topics to expect once i get myself more organised:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>basic tutorials on setting up self-hosted nixos web services</li>
+<li>lazy hardware reviews</li>
+<li>software shenanigans</li>
+<li>anything else i feel is relevant and useful to the wider web</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+thanks for stopping by ^.^
