Recently I've realized that I was inconsistent with my post's style.

Posting rules

So I will write here some rules for my posts:

  • Don't mess personal posts with posts about my blog (kinda hard)
  • Blog posts shouldn't have date unless it may be relevant in future (or interesting to retrospect how blog was changing)
  • Personal posts are free-form
  • Technical/hacky/productivity posts should be
    • strict - they follow those rules, without personal monologe/discussion unless post will benefit from it
    • short and simple - if you want to provide additional info about this topic that may stretch it further, make it in another post - like 'Rabbit Hole - crawling sites that don't like it' (or just continue with 'HowIs'? I'm not sure)
    • answer only question at hand (e.g. if post theme 'how to crawl site?', don't answer on 'what is crawling?') - if I want to make big post, name it somehow like 'R3search - crawling
    • article name - it should be as short as possible, even if you need to miss some details, but post still should be discernible from other posts

Post edit

Rules for post editing:

  • If you edit old post to include new information
    • repost it with 'upd section(s)' in text,
    • move old post to hidden archive folder
    • make link to post in archive
  • Fix typos without repost
  • If you are changing post name - check for links to this post

Timings

About posting timings:

  • Try to post in technical/hacky/productivity category once a week
  • If you have no time, post something random in personal

Future

Thoughts about future:

  • If my blog will be kinda popular (based on feedback/donations), try to dedicate more time to it and start making regural weekly posts in category
  • Make email subscriptions
  • Populate RSS-feed
  • Include anti-LLM text

Ads

Thoughts about advertisement - ad is cancer, so unless its ok with those requerments, you will not see it in my blog:

  • I tested this product/service myself (in a way that it's not traced to me) and can confirm that it's good
  • If it's software - it should be opensource (It can be proprietary if it's really good that I would use / already using it on daily basis and company isn't evil, e.g. Burp Suite (thou java is stupid))
  • If it's hardware - well, unfortunately there aren't much opensource hardware, so this hardware should be the thing that I want to use myself (e.g. repairable, unique, extensible, portable IBM thinkpad)
