Clygro Website V7.5

31st May 2025

Hello people, it has been 2 years since I introduced the blog and once again i have not posted in almost a year, thankfully since i have redesigned and cleaned up my website visually but also behind the scenes by putting certain assets folders and my website is now in a samba share which makes editing the website also significantly easier than before. The website design has still deviated from the original plan for the website as the navgation buttons were supposed to have a leather texture and they would be colour coded and they were pointy angled shapes.

11th July 2024

Hello people, it has been a year since I introduced the blog, however I have not made any posts, so you might be asking "why is that the case?", the simple answer is I'm just really lazy, I did make an attempt to publishing the follow up blog post a while ago, but I forgot about it and never published it, this post is a whole net post by the way.

Welcome!




I'm reworking this website to have better compatibility with older web browsers and trying to optimise the speed of the website as well. Currently some stuff is broken however within the next couple of weeks, the new changes should be finished. (2026-04-20)

Introduction

Hello, I am Clygro, I am a fox thing that does stuff on the internet and mostly speaks on fedi.
My username (Clygro) was randomly thought of as I woke up in some morning back in August 2017 to replace my awful username that I had before. Somehow it has for the most part stuck around for the 8.5 years since I came up with it.

The word of the unspecified amount of time is:

Optimisation

What I've done

I've been somewhere on the internet for over 10 years at this point. I created my YouTube channel in 2016 and made some bad videos. I've then been involved in a couple of not particularly interesting projects along the way. I used to live stream games every day starting in November 2020 and ending in November 2021 after live streaming every day for 365 days. In 2023 I started to make daily videos available on my YouTube and PeerTube channels from January 2023 to February 2024, the themes of these videos has varied, for the first month the videos were about old iOS devices, after that I also started some other videos such as gaming videos with games such as Minecraft, GeoGuessr, Chronophoto and TimeGuessr which later moved to be on a separate channel, after that I did content about PowerPC macs, Linux phones and other technology. I then did some on a Linux distro called Syhuu and Kitsune Web Browser however both projects are on indefinite haitus. In late 2025 I became obessed with Geometry Dash which I've played prior but never got past Dry Out and I did fairly regular live streams of playing the game.
I also very occasionally make blog posts about things.
I now have been working on a game called Hayley & Ray (see below).

Featured Project

Hayley & Ray

Hayley & Ray logoHayley & Ray is a game that I have been working on as a college project, it is not fully completed. The story mode which is incomplete is about 2 foxes playing a game together in a VR headset. I have been remaking it using Homebrodot with a focus on minigames first over having the story mode. Currently there is only one minigame in the game so far which is the Swamplands golf cart time trial. It is available for Android (4.4+). iOS (10+), Linux, macOS (10.5+) and Windows (XP+) More Info

About this site

I've had a website give or take for about 8 years, but only really since 2021 have I had a proper website with links and other content. I have given the individual designs different versions, they are:

  • V1 (2017) - I don't think this was actually ever published
  • V2 (2018) - This was definitely published and then basically abandoned
  • V3 (?) - Does V3 exist? Who knows
  • V4 (2020) - 100% CSS Free!
  • V5 (2021) - Initally was really ugly but this was my first proper attempt at doing proper CSS
  • V6 (2022) - Never was the default page even though it had a good layout
  • V7 (2024) - Originally made for a college project, I went really deep into CSS and really enjoyed making it Visit
  • V7.5 (2025) - What you are seeing right now

The website is running on a Fujitsu Primergy TX140 S2 which has an Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 CPU, 16GB of ECC 1600MHz DDR3 RAM and a 240GB SSD and a 2TB HDD. It is running Arch Linux because that's what I'm used to and for the most part it works. But if I were to reinstall I would probably try out Alpine Linux as it seems cool as it uses OpenRC. Unfortunately I currently do not have a static IP, so if the website is down, it's most likely because I haven't pointed my domain to the new IP, otherwise my services have a pretty good uptime, as of writing (2026-03-30) my server has a 65 day uptime.
I have been trying to optimise this website so it loads quicker and also try and make the layout more compatible with older browsers, however it's still not perfect as older versions of webkit (roughly pre iOS 9) have issues rendering this page correctly, however Internet Explorer 11 works correctly, hopefully I'll sort this out soon as I do want my website to have the correct layout for as many browsers as possible. This website can load on my 600MHz iMac G3 in under 17 seconds using PowerFox from a fresh startup, with it already been open in the browser session it can load in less than 10 seconds.
