About bortox 🎉

Website map #

The site (the lair of the Borto) is divided into two sections:

• Person 😐
• School 🎒

😐 Person #

Photo 📷 #

The personal section contains a collection of 📷 photos taken by me. Photography has always interested me, and I’ve had several compact cameras since primary schools.

Blog 💻 #

The computer blog (🇮🇹,🇬🇧) instead contains guides and notes to improve the experience of using various Linux 💻 and Android 📱 distros.

🎒 School #

Homework and school notes 📝 #

The school section contains the site Compiti Scolastici (🇮🇹), a growing collection of all the notes I took in high school although I update it much less lately because I have less time.

The site can be found in Google results and contains over 100 posts. The most visited ones remain the Latin Versions, because - between you and me - who translates versions from Latin using only the vocabulary without even copying a little bit online? Honestly - now in 2026 is sad that people just use ChatGPT without even copying data.

If you’d like to contribute - code, knowledge or money - to Compiti Scolastici you can see the options available at contribute-cs

Eco-sustainability 🌳 #

A visit to bortox produces just 0.02 grams of CO₂ - cleaner than 98% of sites tested - and the server uses sustainable energy!

In a year with ~120 000 visits bortox produces just ~9kg of CO₂ ⚖ , the equivalent of 4.8kg of pasta 🍝 or 75km by car 🚘.

As soon as I have enough money, I will adopt a tree for the sake of the environment and the people but also to offset CO₂ emissions.

Reducing internet traffic consumption ⚡ #

bortox applies the most modern techniques to ensure fast and smooth navigation on the device with light pages 🪶.

• Code minification.
• Service worker for caching -> Possibility of offline browsing.
  • Preloading of articles and related posts.
• Server-side caching with nginx.
• Compression of images.
• Use of vector formats such as .svg for icons.

Such techniques make navigation more ethical because the smoothness of the site is not overly dependent on device and/or network performance.

No advertising ⛔ #

bortox is not a website for-profit site despite the monthly visits. Navigation remains fast and light also because of the absence of advertisements.

Confidentiality of visitors’ data 👀 #

bortox complies with the GDPR and the only analytics (visit statistics) solution used is GoatCounter (hosted in Europe); it complies with the GDPR and is set up to not collect personal information that would allow a visitor to be identified, such as their IP address.

The only information stored on a visitor’s device by the bortox website are those:

• Dark/light theme preference in local storage.
• Cache of pages already visited so they are accessible offline for 1 hour after the first visit.

Both forms are in 🇮🇹 Italian but soon they’ll be translated in 🇬🇧 English.
