Template Details
cosmikdebris is a personal blog site focused on maker projects, Linux usage, hardware modifications, and experimental technology. It covers homelab builds, 3D printing, self-hosting, and the various issues encountered and fixed along the way.
The site uses Jekyll as its static site generator with the jekyll-theme-chirpy theme, and is deployed via GitHub Pages. Posts are stored in the _posts/ directory, while drafts and tutorial source files are managed separately before publication. Local development uses bundle install and bundle exec jekyll serve; the development server configuration includes a host/port bound to Tailscale for access within the local network.
The repository is MIT-licensed, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code; however, third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked against their respective licenses, and external services like domains and hosting may incur separate charges.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Jekyll as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
