The Hub is Live: aurionblack.com is Now My Actual Home Page
For a while, https://aurionblack.com was more placeholder than presence.
That’s changed.
The homepage is now what it was always supposed to be: a central index for my distributed corner of the internet.
Not a social media profile, not a blog, not a link tree...something closer to a personal directory for a life that’s spread across a bunch of self-hosted nodes that don’t ask for your email or sell your attention.
Think of it as a hub. The hub doesn’t explain itself. It just points. From here you can follow the spokes out to wherever you actually want to go — and the spokes don’t all lead to the same version of me.
There’s the me that writes 4,000-word investigative pieces about surveillance infrastructure companies. The me that posts two-second takes into the void at @aurion@go.aurionblack.com. The me that records music in my basement and uploads drum practice videos at midnight. The me that’s apparently been listening to a lot of Lorde lately and isn’t sorry about it.
These are not contradictions. This is just what a person looks like when they’re not being flattened into a brand.
From one page you can find my long-form writing at blog.aurionblack.com, short-form fediverse activity at @aurion@go.aurionblack.com, music I’ve made and am currently listening to, videos, and the best way to actually reach me. Live feeds pull in recent posts, Funkwhale tracks, PeerTube uploads, and my ListenBrainz history so the page reflects what’s actually happening rather than whatever I last remembered to update manually.
All of it runs on my own hardware. No cloud landlords. If something goes down, it’s my fault.
The homepage is the weird overlap zone — the place where the interests, hobbies, addictions, and delusions all share a zip code before going their separate ways. You don’t have to follow all the spokes. Most people won’t. That’s fine. The ones who do are either very curious or very lost, and honestly both are welcome.
There’s more to come — project pages, better organization, probably some decisions I’ll regret — but the bones are there. If you’re on the fediverse, every service has an ActivityPub handle you can follow from wherever you live. If you’re not, that’s fine too. The links work for normals.
