Due to the recent vulnerabilities in NPM packages I have decided to avoid using NodeJS compleatly on my personal website.
This website has been written with a combination of markdown files and Pandoc. In this new website I intend to write everything in markdown and then convert that to HTML with Pandoc.
Backwards compatibility with old website
Certain tools from the old website might not work. I have made sure that the following tools work:
- WebAuthn tool at
webauthn.karkkainen.net
- This is an independent site so it is not affected.
- Vinly Record catalog
- The old record catalog still works.
- Certificates
- Certificates have been moved to letters.
