# About this site
Slush.systems is a blog that’s mostly about building this blog. It’s also about running Arch Linux on a Thinkpad X1 Yoga, and using time series metrics. It is authored by Eric Jacobs.
This site is built with Hugo, served by Caddy, and hosted at Fly.io. You can find the sources for this blog including the theme at github.com/jetpks/slush.systems.
The theme is a heavily modified version of panr’s hugo-terminal-theme. The color scheme is tomorrow-night. The font is Cartograph by Connary Fagen. I love this font. Please purchase a license from Connary Fagen if you’re gonna use it.
