+### ...the website
+I'm not very good at making websites, but I do know what I [like](https://potato.cheap/) and what I [don't like](https://infrequently.org/2024/01/performance-inequality-gap-2024/). The only JavaScript that is used is to handle themes (which are not detrimental to the site's function). A non-SSL mirror can be found at <https://marceloexc.rf.gd>
