My corner of the internet:

Mostly electronics and software, but occasionally chemistry and photography. Feel free to check out my photos of space, random programs, weird electronics projects and atom arranging.

I have my very own (copyright respecting) nonsense generator - guaranteed to be cheaper then any LLM.

Because search engines are increasingly terrible, here's a list of blogs I have found useful or interesting, and can verify are not LLM generated.

Notes on blog future-proofing:

One of the great things about web pages is that they are long-lived and mutable. There's no need to aim for perfection on the first draft: A page can continue to be improved for years after its original publication.

Writing my own static site generator:

In principle, a static site generator is a good idea: They automatically populate your homepage, index pages and RSS feeds, making it impossible to forget anything.

Unlike a CMS like Wordpress, they don't add runtime cost or security vulnerabilities: They run once to generate your site and are never exposed to the internet.

How to write your own website:

I recently wrote an essay on why you should set up a personal website rather then using social media. Doing so lets you own your space on the internet, customize it and free your readers from constant advertising and algorithmic feeds designed to keep you stuck doomscrolling all day.

You'll need a text editor (any will do) and a browser (you already have one).

Writing something down forces you to fully understand it. When the idea is on paper, you can see all the missing assumptions and leaps in logic. It's common to start writing, do some research and find out that your original point was wrong.

This is a good thing.
