It helps me to think and straight things out, especially when things become an micro-obsession. Moreover, blogging contributes to my personal branding.

Topics: Travel, Finance and Engineering.

"Dave's Data" - very much a "whatever I want to post about" blog but with some of my historical cryptocurrency mining exploits, some CS professor babble, some cooking, and recently some Rust.

My most read article was the one where I discussed a pretty crazy adventure creating an optimized miner for the monero cryptocurrency, discovering in the process the mechanism that had been used to artificially pre-mine its predecessor, Bytecoin. (It was released with an artificially slowed down implementation of the PoW function, which I managed to reverse engineer and discover the original design): https://da-data.blogspot.com/2014/08/minting-money-with-mone...

Mostly write about Elixir. Check out the search function. It is a rust library run as WASM in the browser (all the right keywords for HN hehe).

My blog: https://victorbjorklund.com/blog

Search library used: https://stork-search.net/

(And yes, I know it is totally overkill to have search when you just got a few articles)

Incredible how many personal blogs are out there. I love using RSS, but how would I go about finding these sources based on things I like?

Feels like there should be a Spotify for reading, with “playlists” of articles cherry picked from blogs, and simple Discover Weekly recommendations.

Anyway, I’ll leave mine as well (mostly reverse engineering macOS related):

https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/

…and I’ll probably use the quality data on this thread to build that service I feel should already exist.
