I use my website, but post to twitter or HN or hackaday, I also host source on github for increased discoverability.. I don't know if sf.net is still relevant, I don't think my latest projects are on there, but it used to be very helpful in getting my stuff out and discovered.

The French-speaking world has https://linuxfr.org which is about Linux and free software in general (and not just Linux). It's fine to write about hacking / fun side projects (especially if they are open source). The kind of stuff you list would probably be liked there.

I do tend to post there. I have been doing this while I procrastinate to start my own blog (self hosted).

I'll second host your own. There's a number of others recommending Hugo, but Gitlab Pages would likely be enough to start with. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-gitlab/

Too late to edit, but thought of another option: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook

Gitlab Pages + mdBook works well for more documentation or book-like sites. I could easily this working for certain types of project sites.

I host projects on my own computer, usually using Fossil. I also mirror them on Chisel, too. (I do not use git, and I do not have an account on GitHub.)

I sometimes mention them on IRC and other stuff (and I have my own NNTP server), but would want to have some better way too. I would hope that others (who are interested in these kind of things) can join too, in order to help with this projects too, and to learn about them, possibly someone else can make something (and/or learning) too.

I also mentioned them before on Hacker News too, but had hardly gotten any response from that.
