Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I’ve seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

    It depends on the subject, often times I tend to learn better by simply doing or thinking through the process before actively attempting what I thought about. I am a weird mix of practical and book learner, I often just blog about daily life stuff or whatever has my immediate attention. A blog for me is like my current hyperfixation identifier. ROFL

    For internal stuff, I tend to keep system documentation of all the changes that I made (directories, etc), the reason why I did it, how I did it, what steps did I have alter in order to complete the change. That also really helps because years down the line, this helps build my understanding of my personal system.

      I like the way you formulate things. It’s similar similar to me, these periods of over fixation on something. Then something else. And I believe keeping these notes on Linux public is also helpful for both you and some (random or not) users. I try to avoid too personal information in the posts, but sometimes I think it doesn’t even matter. E.g. I was obfuscating some things like MAC addresses, then I thought what if I won’t, what would happen? Is there any attack surface? Still, I design this blogging system (my current hyper fixation) as to have most things public, with some private notes when necessary. As some bonus (or not), I have close to zero motivation to write for myself. Yet writing publicly or to someone is captivating and I have this motivation. Even in those cases when not many people read me. Or even when there’s nobody at all. Right now I have my blog on my Raspberry Pi, I want to polish some things here and there before deploying it publicly. And yet it’s truly interesting to work on, for some reason.

      I wish more people would do that. I’d love to read some ‘life journey’ kind of honest blog of some total rando, given that person would write honestly and not hustling, trying to sell something to someone. But rather writing stupid ordinary things, their life reflections, that type of thing. I’m willing to have a blog like that for myself too. But I just cannot come up with the implementation: what should it be? Just a randomly generated domain? Should I obscure names and places? I thought of using some rare language (e.g. Finnish) to also support that language, learn it, and avoid having too many readers I don’t welcome. But that is trivial to translate, so I’m not really sure. I want both honest content and not being attacked personally (especially irl) by some people while expressing myself. Some content, like political, sometimes is not even safe to publish, depending on the topic and the whereabouts of the person. That’s some completely different topic, there are should be plenty of examples, but the indie web I explored was quite poor on that. Even to get some ideas. Perhaps, I may make more attempts on this. I don’t know.

      Yeah, sorry:) have a great night, it’s late now here in my place.

        Thank you, I guess because I stare at what I write all the time…It’s become boring and substandard in my opinion. It’s like looking at your own face for years, looks ordinary or bland because familiarity creates a lack of novelty! If you provide too much sensitive information it does raise the risk of someone being able to connect the dots and finding you. It does create an attack surface, but…They need to have all the parts in order to be able to act upon it. If the device is a local network thing that doesn’t connect to the internet…Small bits of info might not be so bad, but too much is not good.

        I think hustle culture has destroyed a lot of the blogging scene with pushing products, services, etc. I really hate how authentic blogs have gone to the wayside and the hustle blogs have kinda taken over. Or worse the influencer blogs designed to sell you low quality tat are growing in scale and influence.

        Yeah, deciding what a blog should be, its purpose, or how it should be implemented is very person. I would think on it, personally I am choosing a general purpose style. That focuses on variety stuff written from my perspective (occasionally flawed because yah know, people aren’t perfect). My Blog.

        I think you can talk about all manner of subjects, whether they be controversial or otherwise provided you do it with care. Really think about the political posts carefully before you make them, as it is important to talk about politics, but doing it in a humane way matters. I think we’ve lost the art of the indie web since the commercialized, centralized website has become popular. I am even trying to rediscovering it by just trying shit and seeing it if works in practice. There is nothing wrong with a bit of live practice!
