Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?

Software Developer. Mostly writing about software but also technology and life in general.

About two months ago, there was an Ask HN about the most interesting interesting tech you built for just yourself [1]. In this topic, I shared about my Ghidra modifications to unlink pieces of an executable back into relocatable object files [2] in an effort to reverse-engineer a PlayStation 1 video game.

Long story short, I've wanted to write about this esoteric but powerful technique and it snowballed into starting my own blog with a series of articles about reverse-engineering. It's still a WIP draft, quite rough around the edges and not ready for prime-time, but you only have that kind of Ask HN thread once (every couple of years I assume).

Side-note: the Google and Bing webcrawlers managed to find and index that domain name despite having no public links to it whatsoever (to my knowledge) until now, my only logical explanation is that they've found it by scrapping the WHOIS database. It's also hosted inside my home on my personal Synology DS218 NAS with a rather dodgy setup, which will probably crash and burn under any level of load by the time you've read this comment.

topics are pretty random, but software engineering adjacent: rtl sdr, home automation, air quality monitoring, nature.

Here is my most recent, a response to a post on here from last week about the hidden cost of air quality monitors: https://medium.com/@k0ryk/air-quality-monitoring-hidden-cost...

It has no topic and is kind of abandoned. Some posts from like 2006 are pretty embarrassing, but I keep them around anyway.

There are like two or three blog posts that rank well on Google for whatever reason and they comprise the majority of traffic despite not being very good or interesting.

have been trying to do a writing challenge for this year, it's going ok. I write about whatever interests me, trying to do at least three articles a week
