## What's the point of "Red Page"?
3/13, 21/2023

Use your phone's screen as a flashlight that [doesn't interfere with night vision](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_effect#Use_of_red_lights).  

Or, point your phone at a friend, use the Red Page, and then put on a panicky voice to inform them that they're infected.  


## What is this website?
3/11/2023

In a way, you might think of it as a blog about its own platform.

However, I have decided to take my own kind of paranoid, "zero trust" approach, which means you might not get to know who I am or what technologies I'm using to create it.  I'm assuming that you, dear reader, are some kind of bad actor, thirsty to exploit my vast computing power (ha ha) to your own nefarious purposes, and I'm also assuming that you are way more clever than me.  You can take my opacity as a compliment, if you don't mind that I'm calling you evil.  I call everyone and everything evil, including myself!  But not in a complain-y kind of way. 

I think this attitude can be a core part of general psychological resilience ["9 Positive Benefits of Negative Thinking" at Psychology Today](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/changepower/201912/9-positive-benefits-negative-thinking) and network and software security ["Zero trust security model" at Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_trust_security_model)

Deployed.  I'm not supporting images yet, but there's always ASCII art.  So maybe if you squint...

I used https://www.ascii-art-generator.org and I'm sure it could be better but who has the time?

It probably doesn't even help to know that Ted is a cat

Just to measure string length:
```
123456789012345678901234567890123456789
         ^         ^         ^
