Time to blog!

Well, looks like now is a great time to start blog.

Indeed, I think this will be a great entry point for my resources. For a long time there was a simple stub that I used for local resources. But then I started one of the projects and started thinking, how can I communicate my contacts to people in a compact way? And here is my own page on the Internet. So anyone with a browser and without any account can go in and read if they are interested. Well, my inner graphomaniac will finally find an outlet for his letters.

I use a simple SSG Hugo¹. So a blog is a set of generated pages without any engine under the hood. It’s both simple and safe. I think dependence on technologies, even free ones, is an addiction. So following KISS² in everything is a good plan in my opinion. It should be possible to understand the technology within an acceptable period of time and not overcomplicate it ever. The tool should not be more complex than the job for which it is intended. This principle is preached by many: suckless.org³, Drew DeVault⁴, UNIX/Plan 9⁵⁶, etc. I won’t argue with them, because I mostly agree with them.

I also want to experience those good old days when people just kept their Internet pages for themselves and their friends. Before corporations lured everyone onto platforms they controlled. Everything I write here is entirely under my control. If I want, I’ll change it, if I want, I’ll delete it. Yes, someone can make a copy, but it will only be a copy. Of course, this does not mean that I will change everything that is written here every day. But the possibility of this warms the soul.

I will, of course, leave the rest of the resources for cross-posting for now. Over time, perhaps I will get rid of them. Or maybe they will be replaced by new popular resources and tools. At a minimum, this resource will also be available through Gemini⁷ (seriously, this is a very interesting protocol).

So for now:
