Welcome to the official root page of PTG-IRL.com!
PTG-IRL or Play the Game - In Real Life, takes on a realistic approach at taking advantage of computer resources for personal projects, services, and applications being used to broaden the abilities of those that happen to be users of this infrastructure. This is private infrastructure, a private cloud, and an ever evolving project. A working showcase of my production capabilities across a multifacet collection of skills.
This page acts as a place to ping, access, and present my resources and while my configurations are not public. This domain does have some public elements. Though this is to note, this is a private resource.
This private cloud is not open to the public and all efforts against this domain, services, infrastructure, and resources are monitored with any attempts noted. These will be forwarded/responded to as needed.
While this domain makes light of the world as we're all players playing an unspoken game that exists in what we know as real life. One isn't always too privy to seeing how technical resources are used to change outcomes when it comes to the usage of digital infrastructure in todays age. Technology has always been an amazing way to be able to create results. Which is why learning, developing, and creating ways to be able to generate results of a higher capability can truly showcase the wonders of technology.
Is that this website will continue to evolve with time and take on additional responsibilities, including being used to explore private monetization through applicable methods, and increasing overall uses for those this infrastructure is meant to benefit.
Superscript is being used to show how an already stated point can have many positives.
Evolution and devolopments of this project include some of what is listed below.
With this being a private landing page for infrastructure that is non-public but with public facing elements including this specific page, the primary purpose of this remains to showcase the evolution of my progression when it comes to website design and usage.
There is a Blog configuration for this component and that will be worked on with time. With the blog it will be a place to express interests and topics that I am learning/developing. A tool to demonstrate the expansion of what the internet happens to be, be it services, applications, or even the endless possibilies that can even generate entire digital worlds.
This static page uses Astro.js hosted on a cloudflare worker tied into a private github respository that is seperated by its core concept from other projects making for an easy way to update, re-configure, and add onto since it is effectively making use of serverless infrastructure to present a backed up HTML config that is entirely lifecylced through individual systems that backup to backend points. Cloudflare offers many advanced capabilities if used correctly, with backend DNS being used along with basic user authentication capabilites for private apps being managed at the tunnel level. This doesn't restrict capabilities and instead offers one a convenient amount of safety and security along with privacy.
I do recommend avoiding specific companies or services along the way as many eventually engage in semi negative practices that can bring detriment to budding labs, facilities, or virtual landscapes. I've found GoDaddy.com to be a particular Registrar that I decisively do not use as they have bought domains that I had priorily owned and then tried to resell them at very noncompetitive prices based off of the individual creativity of each domain.
It works as a real world template for other more sophisticated projects.
