Overview

UDIA came into existence in February 2016, largely as a result of being one of the few domain names available in the .ca TLD satisfying a four character length limit.
It is also my preferred online moniker.

Occasionally, I expand the four characters as Universe Dream Inference Agent, albeit this has changed multiple times since inception.

Content

I keep various public notes regarding my personal Linux setup and systems administration here.
Occasionally, I will also post some computing science research, cooking recipes, and unimportant musings about life.

In an attempt to overcome crippling perfectionism, the quality of the published content may vary drastically.

Audience

The goal of writing is to explain ideas and processes to my future self and to present interesting and useful quips to the broader public as a whole.

My target is the “I” who has forgotten, but remains engaged and intelligent, as well as the “You” who is reading this content now.

Privacy

All software and products built should adhere to the seven foundational principles outlined in Privacy by Design.

Technology & Hosting

• The site is built with the Hexo static site generator using a custom theme built from scratch.
• We are hosted by the Digital Ocean App Platform static site offering. We are hosted by the Cloudflare Pages static site offering.
  • Occasionally, I also use an Ubuntu 18.04, 4GB RAM, 2 VCPU instance provided by Cybera Rapid Access Cloud and serve content using the nginx web server with Secure Sockets Layer certificates issued by Let’s Encrypt
• Domain Name Servers are managed and proxied using Cloudflare

Miscellaneous

I borrow heavily from gwern.net, which I discovered while browsing a Hacker News post of well-designed personal sites.

I am not affiliated with the Urban Development Institute of Australia.
