I tried expressing the following high-level problem in MiniZinc:

Given sets of planes and pilots and flights that happen 3x a day: find an assignment of planes and pilots to flights such that the workload is fair. As in, no pilot should be unduly burdened. No plane should be unduly stressed.

Assuming there are 5 planes and 5 pilots, here is a solution:

plane_assigned = [5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 2]
pilot_assigned = [5, 3, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 2]

You want a personal website. But you don't want to maintain servers or databases. You want your site to be cheap to run, fast, and not jammed with JavaScript.

At least that's what I wanted.

Static site generators are a great option but get tricky once you need a little bit of dynamic content. My site is "mostly static" but features:

• a contact form connected to a database
• a private section for my friends
• spam protection via Cloudflare Turnstile
