More papercraft

I made a second version of the papercraft house I made last month. It glows! (correction: the house does not glow. A light inside the house glows. The house is made of paper and plastic and glue and toner, and has no mechanism that allows it to glow.)

of a little papercraft house in a sort of Tudor Revival style, with
a stone first floor, wooden door, and stucco second floor with wooden

each floor. Very blocky.

More wiki development

Addad a bunch of features to my wiki template, including the site map and table of contents that you see on the left sidebar (on desktop), and little icons after every link, based on what site it links to (notably, Wikipedia).

Also moved to Codeberg pages (and will probably move again because I really don't like the upload workflow).

While I totally understand, and still use sourcehut pages for my other site, I really wanted Sketchfab and KiCanvas support, and while I could get away with including KaTeX source in my webpage, this was not true of Sketchfab's embeds, and would likely require me to learn npm and TypeScript (eww) to do it for KiCanvas.
