Minecraft server online

  • A public Minecraft (Java Edition 1.16.5) server has docked at sithean.space — details on the Servers page.
  • 20 player slots, no password, no whitelist. Griefing and destroying blocks is allowed; the only rules are no cheating and keep chat clean.
2026-07-09 LOG-0008

Game servers online

  • New Servers page for services hosted on the station, with its own button in the nav.
  • First one up: a public Quake III Arena deathmatch server at 45.79.7.122:27960 — no password, no mods required. The connect command is on the page with a copy button.
  • More servers to come as the homelab grows.
2026-07-06 LOG-0007

Steam library docked

  • New Steam library — every game I've played, sortable by hours or name, live from the Steam Web API. There's a button to it on the about page, and it can switch between two accounts.
  • The old Neocities hit-counter is gone; its 15,557 lifetime views were folded into the self-hosted stats so the number carries on instead of restarting.

Visitor manifest opens

  • The station has a guestbook — sign the manifest, pick a stamp, leave your mark. Links to your own site welcome.
  • Fully self-hosted like everything else here: no third-party guestbook service, no accounts, no CAPTCHA — just a honeypot and good manners.
  • Live preview shows your entry exactly as it will appear before you sign.

Station goes pocket-sized

  • Full mobile pass — the nav collapses into a NAVIGATE menu on phones, text and tap targets got bigger, and every page picked up small-screen layout rules.
  • Touch devices skip the cursor star-trail, run lighter shooting stars, and the UFO explores on his own instead of chasing a cursor that isn't there.
  • The "Not Mobile Friendly" badge stays up as a historical document. It lies now.

Home page refit

  • New hero: an incoming-transmission terminal that types itself out.
  • New Station Status strip — now playing, viewers on the station, views today, and the latest log entry, all live.
  • Explore grid expanded to six sectors; button trade moved to the bottom of the page.
  • The ISS tracker and deep-space readouts retired from the home page — the Space and Telescope pages remain the observatory.

Sensor array online

  • New Stats page — live viewer count, total views, and a 14-day chart, all running on the station's own hardware.
  • Analytics are fully self-hosted: no Google, no cookies, anonymized daily-rotating visitor hashes.
  • Google Analytics and Tag Manager stripped from every page. The station no longer phones home to Mountain View — pages load lighter, too.

Under-the-hood tune-up

  • Full SEO pass — sitemap, robots.txt, canonical URLs, and social share cards on every page. The station is now visible to Earth search engines.
  • Fixed the home page share image so links actually show a preview when posted.
  • The UFO toggle moved from the top to the bottom-left of the nav bar. The little guy approves.
  • Added this changelog and an RSS feed — you're reading the first entry written for it.
2026-06-29 LOG-0001

Station relocated

  • Sithean.Space deployed onto its own self-hosted server. Full control of the stack, homelab style.
