reimplement website using shell scripts

major change, i know. now i'm using ssg and rssg by roman zolotarev.
okay, well, not exactly. ssg is modified to generate pages for gemini
too. it's hard to maintain two different things simultaneously.

bye-bye jekyll!

+# dualboot linux and openbsd with grub

+
+i've been trying to dualboot openbsd with linux using grub on both bios and
+uefi machines and here's a solution that i've come up with.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+there are some guides about this on the internet, but there's no single guide
+that covers both bios and uefi. @rootbsd has a video where he shows how to
+do this, but his solution has one little disadvantage. he's specifying drives
+in a grub config using relative drive and partition numbers, such as
+`(hd0,gpt2)`. since these numbers could be different if one inserts a new drive
+to the computer, or changes drive order, the boot option could fail
+(which happened).
+
+all partitions and drives have their unique identifier -- uuid. there's no
+direct way to specify uuid in grub configuration, but there is a workaround.
+
+grub manual describes the `search` command which has an option to set root
+device if it is found. so we can use it for our purposes.
+
+## steps for dualbooting in bios/legacy mode
+
+1. install linux system on one of your drives
+
+2. reboot and boot from openbsd install media and install openbsd to other drive
+or partition.
+
+3. reboot and login to your linux system
+
+4. open a terminal and run `blkid` or `lsblk -f` to get an output partition
+uuids.
+
+5. write the following at the bottom of `/etc/grub.d/40_custom`:
+
+  ```grub.cfg
+
+  menuentry 'OpenBSD' {
+      search -su --no-floppy *UUID*
+      chainloader +1
+  }
+  ```
+
+  where *UUID* is the uuid of your openbsd partition (with type 'ufs2')
+
+6. run either `update-grub` or `grub-mkconfig` depending on what distribution
+you are using. consult your distro's wiki to find a way to update your grub
+configuration with recent changes.
+
+7. now reboot and you should see an openbsd's boot option in grub menu.
+
+## steps for uefi system
+
+for boot in uefi mode there are few differences. after installing openbsd
+don't reboot, but choose **shell**. now cd into `/mnt` directory and
+download `BOOTX64.EFI` from your desired openbsd mirror. for example:
+
+```sh
+
+# cd /mnt
+# ftp https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.0/amd64/BOOTX64.EFI
+# reboot
+```
+
+after that the only other difference is that `chainloader` directive should
+be `chainloader /BOOTX64.EFI`.
+
+all other steps are the same.
