This is a highly stylised website and may be difficult to read. For a more plain version of this website, please click here. If you wish to continue, press the X on this note to turn on the monitor. The non plain site is more of an experiment, and can be rather resource intensive despite my optimization attempts. You have been warned. Best viewed on chromium based browsers.

Welcome to LucasVL.NL!

This is the personal website of LucasVL. Here I host my personal projects, blog posts, and other cool stuff! The stylised version of this page is best viewed with javascript enabled, however it is all viewable without it enabled (you just may run into some cursor alignment issues). The source code to this site is available at My Git Server as it is written using Flask, otherwise it would quickly become a complicated mess to maintain :).

To Firefox and mobile users: I have done my absolute best to make the stylised version of this page work on your systems, however some effects have been disabled due to horrible performance issues with the displacementmap SVG filter (see Here). For some reason Safari on mobile works fine, but not on MacOS. Please use the plain version of the page if you are on MacOS

The following links are some pages which are hosted on this site, either for personal use, or for friends and family. Feel free to contact me using a method listed in the about page if you would like an account :)

This site is hosted on a home server running the latest stable Alpine Linux updated weekly. I use Cloudflare to mitigate the possibility of (D)DOS attacks. It's a rather simple setup, but it works for me.

This is my computer that I built for under $500!
The specs are as follows:
  • GPU: AMD RX580
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X
  • RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200
  • Storage:
    • 4 Hard drives pulled from old computers configured in a RAID array for a total of ~6TB
    • 2TB NVME SSD
    • CD/DVD RW Combo Drive
  • Motherboard: MSI B350M-BAZOOKA
This is my homemade Android Auto headunit. It has a touch panel on a small CRT display, and connects to my car's stereo system for music. It also has built in music storage! I use a Raspberry Pi 4b as the computer, and the touch panel is hooked up via USB. The sound system attatched is put together from parts I purchased from goodwill, it sounds pretty good for what it is!
