My Personal Website, Self Hosted on a Raspberry Pi 4, in my home.

Behind the scenes

The little computer in my home

This whole website is served by a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B sitting on a shelf in my home in New York. Here’s how it’s doing, live.

Waiting for the Pi…

Counted on the Pi from the web server’s own log. No trackers and no cookies, and bots are left out. “Here right now” means opened a page in the last five minutes.

V. Where visitors come from

Working out where everyone is from…

Live, as it happens

    Top countries, last 30 days

      Only real browsers are counted, not bots. The Pi works out each visitor’s country from their address on its own, and keeps only the count. Country data: IP Geolocation by DB-IP. Map: Natural Earth.

      VI. How people find the site

      Where they came from

      1. Waiting for the numbers…

      Visits that arrived from outside the site in the last 30 days. “Came straight here” means typed in, a bookmark, or an app that doesn’t say.

        An estimate from how busy the processor is: a Pi 4 uses about 3 to 6 watts. A regular LED light bulb uses about 9. Priced at New York’s average, about 34¢ per kWh.

        A small Python script on the Pi writes these numbers every few seconds, and this page reads them. Nothing here is stored about you.
