A medical doctor by training, with a keen interest in technology, privacy, open source, and owning our data.

Hello there. I’m Naty, a tech dabbler and lifelong learner.

BurgeonLab is a public logbook where I document my mostly geeky interests and other digital enlightenments. I enjoy writing about FOSS/open source, privacy-focused services, blogging with Hugo (static site generator), and tech how-tos.

(I’m also known as @eclecticpassions or @aperture2iris.)

Thank you for checking out my corner of the Internet, hope you find something useful!

How I Blog with Hugo on Android with Termux (CLI Emulator)

See how I enhanced my Hugo blogging workflow with Termux on Android: run a Hugo server locally, manage Git with Termux instead of relying on a separate Git client app (like PuppyGit or GitSync), resolve a fatal Hugo image processing error causing server to fail, learn to set up everything from scratch. I also share my portable computing setup.

How to Find Orphan Pages on Static Sites: Python Checker

This blog goes through the process of creating a Python script to find orphan pages (pages without internal links) on a website, Hugo static site files in this case. The script extracts all links from the site and compares it with the full list of pages to get pages which are orphaned.

How to Automate OG Images with D2 and Bash Script

Read how I moved from third‑party free tools (like OG Image Maker) to D2, a text‑to‑diagram language, for local, customizable OG image generation. Combining D2 with a Bash script helped automate the process and produce ready‑to‑use OG images. The workflow uses CLI image tools (pngquant, cwebp, ImageMagick) and I talk about the benefits of text‑based templates, offline generation, and automation.

Embracing IndieWeb and the Small Web

Ever since I learnt about content ownership, enshittification, and the IndieWeb in 2025; I’m gradually integrating small web principles and IndieWeb features into this Hugo blog. In the last week of 2025, BurgeonLab gained full Micropub support through IndieKit!

For instance, my site supports receiving webmentions if your site supports sending them; otherwise, feel free to send me a webmention manually! Public display of webmentions is not supported yet, only I will get notified if you mention something from my site.

Common in small web communities, webrings are a group of sites linked together serially that share a common theme. To see what webrings my site belongs to, click on the expandable list in the footer. Discover other sites with the navigational links!

Enjoying BurgeonLab? If my content made a difference, a small contribution would mean a lot. Your support spurs me on to keep creating!
