+I have decided to drop Gitea as it's only really useful when you have multiple
+people collaborating on a project and is just bloatware otherwise. To
+demonstrate, here's how much bandwidth it takes to load in the old Gitea site's
+main page:
+
+![Gitea](./gitea.webp)
+
+Here's how much it takes up with the amazing `gitweb`:
+
+![gitweb](./gitweb.webp)
+
+If you do the math, you will find that the new `gitweb` site is roughly 22.18
+times smaller than the Gitea site! This will certainly help with browsing on
+older computers and weaker internet connections.
+
+*(Also notice that `gitweb` does not make that pesky 3rd-party request!)*
+
+I also expect to move some of my previous projects from Git{Hub,Lab} here
+relatively soon.
+
+# What about the old site?
+I will keep it as an option in case I by some miracle end up creating a project
+with lots of outside contribution as that's when it would become truly useful.
+Until then, I always accept patches sent with the venerable
+[git send-email](https://git-send-email.io).
+
+If the new site breaks down in any way, please [let me know](/contact).
