Licenses

This website and it's code are open source under MIT license, and it's entire codebase can be seen on GitHub. Except where otherwise noted, site content including blog posts, wiki articles, and written content on other pages are under CC BY-SA 4.0 license.

Attribution

I would appreciate an attribution and a least a link to my blog if you reference all or part of a post, but it's not a requirement. (Nor do I have any interest in attempting to enforce it.)

Images within blog posts and wiki articles may be reused without attribution as long as they are re-hosted and not hotlinked; if you must hotlink and use my bandwidth, then please at least provide attribution and a link to my site.

Be aware that if I notice significantly high bandwidth use from remote linking of images or other content, I may end up blocking the site making those requests to save on bandwidth.

Links to external websites

This website contains links to other, external websites. I always try to link to reputable sources, but it is up to you to review those websites' own privacy statements. I cannot accept any responsibility for your privacy once you have left this website.

Contributing

Every blog post has a Edit this page on GitHub link at the bottom. If you notice an error or outdated information, or even a typo or other minor thing that's bugging you, feel free to click the link, fork the post, make your changes, and submit a pull request.
