Here’s mine, I blog about programming stuff in general.

Lately I’ve been blogging about my GSoC journey developing a new web protocol for the Tor organisation using actix and Rust.
It’s always fun to read emails and feedbacks from visitors so hit me up if you have the chance ;)
I started a few years ago but only found a good rhythm in the past ~year. I am 75% of the way to my (arbitrary) goal of hitting 100k written words.
Lots of posts on architecture, AWS, and performance with a little bit of engineering leadership mixed in.
Some recent posts:

My most recent post goes into some detail as to why I'm blogging again. https://dkrichards.com/2023/07/04/on_blogging.html
My most popular article, featured on HN (and even got into a Spanish textbook) is "Why do so many brands change their logos and look like everyone else?" https://velvetshark.com/articles/why-do-brands-change-their-...
I write about my (previous) PHP and Python projects as well as experiments and opinions on the small-web.
Sample posts: Fixing ink blobs on Epson prints - https://www.hotelexistence.ca/me/?p=408 Building a 'smart' bicycle dashcam - https://www.hotelexistence.ca/me/?p=618
Also, kind of a personal blog - I scripted a blogging bot that writes a post daily, using the comments from the most commented article on HN, which today is this one: https://www.eliza-ng.me/
