Delivery infrastructure

This page reached you over a self-hosted WireGuard overlay, through a reverse proxy in Nuremberg, terminating TLS on a machine in Ireland — so nothing in between could read it. Which is a lot of encryption for a birthday card.

It cost one entire day, roughly four hundred openssl s_client invocations, and one field labelled Listen Port that did not mean listen port.

Worth it, obviously.

Happy birthday, Kartik. — Bhavya
