flux.vision, tobias.raayoni-last.com and randogoth.com. They were one site until October 2026, serving four audiences from a single dated list, which is the only format that can hold unrelated things at once. flux.vision is recovered from the Wayback Machine, where it had sat since being deleted in 2021: 90 articles, closed and maintained rather than updated. tobias.raayoni-last.com is the professional record, 97 articles back to 1999. randogoth.com is the technical work, 41 articles across six areas, served as an ANSI bulletin board. History starts here deliberately. The development history, the 266-row inventory that records why each article went where it did, the Wayback pipelines, the pruned articles, the source archives and the full-size images are kept beside the repo rather than in it, so a clone is the web presence and not the argument that produced it. REFACTOR.md is gitignored for the same reason. See README.md for where that material lives, and keep it: the sort is not reproducible from these three directories alone. Each site documents itself in its own README, including the traps that cost time and look like nothing when you get them wrong.

# sites
|
|
|
|
Three domains, one directory each, one audience each.
|
|
|
|
| Directory | Domain | Subject | Audience |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| `flux.vision/` | flux.vision | Kiritan Flux: media arts, VJ, performance, installations, 2003-2021 | festival and art world |
|
|
| `tobias.raayoni-last.com/` | tobias.raayoni-last.com | client work, portfolio, CV | clients, employers, galleries |
|
|
| `randogoth.com/` | randogoth.com | the technical work, six areas | devs, retro and small-net readers |
|
|
|
|
They were one site until October 2026. The split is the fix: four audiences were being handed one
|
|
page, and a page that serves four audiences collapses into the only format that can hold unrelated
|
|
things, which is a dated list.
|
|
|
|
`sublunar.space` is deliberately not here. It is a working blog with nine years and 440 commits of
|
|
its own voice, and it keeps its own repo.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
All three are Pelican, with no shared build. Each stands alone:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd flux.vision # or tobias.raayoni-last.com, or randogoth.com
|
|
uv run --quiet --with pelican --with markdown -- pelican content -o output -s pelicanconf.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each directory has its own README covering its theme, its taxonomy and the traps specific to it.
|
|
|
|
| | articles | theme | notes |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| `flux.vision/` | 90 | `flux` | recovered from the Wayback Machine; closed, maintained not updated |
|
|
| `tobias.raayoni-last.com/` | 97 | `raayoni` | grid of tiles, light and dark |
|
|
| `randogoth.com/` | 41 | `bbs` | an ANSI bulletin board, 80 columns; `mc-pelican` is the fallback |
|
|
|
|
## Deployment
|
|
|
|
Built and served on `bucur`. A push triggers a webhook that builds the changed site and rsyncs it
|
|
into place. Content does not trigger a system activation: the site derivations are flake packages,
|
|
so a typo costs a Pelican run rather than a `nixos-rebuild switch`.
|
|
|
|
## Shared conventions
|
|
|
|
- **No em dashes.** Commas, colons, full stops or `·`.
|
|
- **Flat slugs.** `{slug}.html` on all three. Categories get reworked; slugs should not move.
|
|
- **No `nl2br`.** The recovered bodies are hard wrapped at about 70 characters, so it turns every
|
|
source line into a forced break. This has been fixed twice; do not add it back.
|
|
- **Lost images are handled at build time,** not in the browser. The references stay in the Markdown
|
|
because the reference records what was there; `plugins/lostimages.py` strips them from the output.
|
|
- **Check the built output, not the source.** Several bugs here were invisible at a glance and
|
|
obvious to a counter: forced line breaks that fell near the natural wrap, box drawing a column
|
|
short, a config change that silently emptied every hotkey.
|
|
|
|
## The working material
|
|
|
|
The inventory, the recovery pipelines, the pruned articles, the source archives and `REFACTOR.md`
|
|
live outside this repo, at `/mnt/data/Backup/sites-restructure-2026-10-05/`. A clone is the three
|
|
sites, not the argument that produced them.
|
|
|
|
That backup is worth keeping: the sort is not reproducible from the sites alone. `inventory.tsv`
|
|
records why each of 266 articles went where it did, and `_pruned/` is the only record of what was
|
|
taken out.
