Today four years ago, we officially launched the reinhart1010.id website. Great things come and go with our portfolio since then, including when Reinhart gained opportunities to work with Indonesian public sector projects, and recently, received a scholarship from LPDP.
This website became a testament to our evolution from a tech hobbyist on the age of digital transformation, into a sigma tech hobbyist in the age of skibidi content and AI-generated madness. Lots of things happened in the spiritual world, too, that we do want to note some of the interesting ones on this website.
So, even though that means we missed the chance to celebrate today (or on later, the Shiftine Day) by giving everyone a fresh new website or cool new features, we have worked some under-the-hood improvements to continue shape the present and the future of our website: the Content Multiplexing System.
1. Updates to our Content Multiplexing System
Note: This is a work in progress and the final product may change in the future.
This is how our Content Multiplexing System project have gone so far. Starting from the user interface:
- New glass card formula that makes them appear more elegant.
- New footer design that is essentially our link-in-bio, so we can just skip our homepage design to direct people to our links.
- An updated sans-serif and serif set of fonts that are used here, especially to support new GNOME versions, and replacing Constantia with something better for Windows.
- Math-friendly serif fonts are prioritized from now on.
- New minimalist top navigation bar that allows you to not just search, but having a working command-line interpreter to have some fun!
Note that many of these components are still dummy, even we haven’t start our work on backend yet, so you may still have to wait another more until we roll out the final product.
2. Load Balancing
Note: Load balancing has been deployed since February 2025. Server-determined icons and hero images are coming today. Updated shell icons are coming before Shiftine Day.
Due to the internal errors generated by our shared hosting provider Hostinger, we came with a new idea to not just move into a better VPS, but two VPS servers load balanced under Cloudflare’s distribution network.
Now, if you were accustomed to see this AI-generated photo on our homepage since 2024:
It will be changed into one of these two images, depending on which server that serves you:
And speaking of the old Shiftine shell icon on our site so far (used to commemorate the Shiftine Day but forgot to change it for almost a year), it will be changed into our new logo which also depends on the servers that are currently serving.
Now, if you asked, “why is this change necessary?” Not everyone likes error codes, but a simple info such as a different (shell) icon will help us to investigate technical issues, which might be even complex by Cloudflare’s caching and load-balancing mechanisms.
