Excerpts from a conversation about personal information management
(sachachua.com)
Adam Porter (alphapapa) reached out to John Wiegley (johnw) to ask about his current Org Mode workflow. John figured he'd experiment with a braindumping/brainstorming conversation about Org Mode in the hopes of getting more thoughts out of his head and into articles or blog posts. Instead of waiting until someone finally gets the time to polish it into something beautifully concise and insightful, they decided to let me share snippets of the transcript in case that sparks other ideas. Enjoy!

How Google Is Killing Bloggers and Small Publishers – and Why
(justapack.com)
A couple of weeks ago, in a moment of caffeinated inspiration/despair, I sat down and wrote a long Facebook post as to why we were ditching Google and switching to DuckDuckGo. Today I want to dive even deeper into this topic, and give you a first-hand account of how Google is killing hundreds of thousands of blogs and small publishers.

If you have a blog, you've probably gotten those emails that want to "collaborate" on a guest post—which often means "let us post sketchy links for SEO purposes."

Automating the most annoying aspects of blogging
(gingerbeardman.com)
Back in 2021 I had a look around and decided to base this incarnation of my blog on an open-source Jekyll theme called “Type”, though I’ve changed and added so much it’s quite some distance from the original as it stands today. As I added blog posts the performance became much worse. Initially I blamed Jekyll for this, until I took a closer look.

Some Notes on Upgrading Hugo

Warning: this is a post about very boring yakshaving, probably only of interest to people who are trying to upgrade Hugo from a very old version to a new version. But what are blogs for if not documenting one’s very boring yakshaves from time to time?

If you log into Dave Winer’s blog, Scripting News, you’ll find a constantly updated note telling you how many years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds the blog has been running. Sometime tomorrow morning the year field will switch to 30. Which will mean that every single day for three decades Dave’s blog will have been stirring things up.
