Time to blog!

Blog in 2K24? Yes.

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** **Hugo**[^1]. 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 **KISS**[^2] 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.org**[^3], **Drew DeVault**[^4], **UNIX**/**Plan 9**[^5][^6], 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 **Gemini**[^7] (seriously, this is a very interesting protocol).

So for now:
