About me
I'm Martijn a passionate software developer. Started around 12 years old with a book I got for my birthday. It explains how to build a website with Microsoft FrontPage and upload it with FTP. It's the most precious book I have.
A serie of articles about creating an online guestbook was my introduction into programming.
With this website I test and explore tech. Some things this website uses: AWS, Terraform, ReportURI, Tor, CSS.

Tor
In 2017 I wrote a blog post about Tor websites. I setup a Tor server as an example:

Overview
To give you an overview and remind future me: a diagram to show the moving parts of this website.
HTTP visitor AWS CloudFront will serve the files from an S3 bucket. CSP, STS and some other headers are added by an AWS Lambda function. It modifies the origin-response when CloudFront retrieves an object from S3.
Tor visitor An AWS EC2 spot instance runs an Nginx server and tor. I use spot instances because the uptime of the website is not very important. But when a spot instance is terminated by AWS I want to boot a new one when available. AWS Auto scaling does that for me. It boots with a AMI which contains Nginx and tor, after booting a cloud-init script fetches the tor keys and hostname from AWS Secrets manager.
Darklang
Something made with darklang.
