I'm curious; why do you feel HTML tables are bad?
They are bad for things that are not tables. I suppose the blog index is a table, though.
I bought into that hype back in the day. I don't anymore. They're a tool, they're not inherently good or bad.
Nice site. It reminds me of the Primitive Technology channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA
This is more like what everyone dreamed primitive technology would be. Instead every video is him using the same four techniques over and over again and not progressing through the tech tree.
I love this! Is there a larger technologist wiki from which you can learn the principles of how to actually build everything from raw materials and generic tools? Examples: casting iron, making blades, making paint, making plastics, making printer ink, making pharmaceuticals that actually work, etc. It really seems that at this stage in the game we should be able to form "off-grid" villages that actually have a prett…
The Open Source Global Village Construction Kit. Blueprints for building the tools to build up a village.
I have to say that aside from a few things* this is what I consider the perfect blog design in terms of structure, styling, layout. * use of HTML tables, month-first dates

This is really close to what a default blog site would look like using Svelte: same load times and essentially identical date/title blog post format is almost what you get out of the box, with Svelte and Sapper, the router. Anyway, if this is something you like, that's one way to get it on your own domain name, without compromising on 'bloat' or load times.

Ok, but you didn't say why they're bad. I bought into that hype back in the day. I don't anymore. They're a tool, they're not inherently good or bad.
When you don’t want that kind of styling you are better off not using tables, instead of making them work for you.
I guess that is exactly what you are saying though ;)

I really admire this kind of mother day "renaissance man" :-)

I thought the 4x4 grid was an odd choice, especially when calling it the "smallest" font. 5x3 is one fewer pixel of area per character, and about 10x more legible IMO. Funny enough, I do have a 4x8 pixel RGB display, which frustrates me because I've long thought of 5x3 as the only viable tiny font. I might get more use out of it with this 4x4 font.
you can read it?

yeah, the main page doesn't even use css, it's only html tags. you might ask the author to add viewport scaling on the , even if it will kinda break the zen of the html:
You are right, though it is a shame a proprietary meta tag shoehorned into a CSS feature is now required to make unstyled webpages legible. With the fixed-width layouts of the 00’s there could conceivably be a justification, but never with CSS-less webpages. With all that said, I hope more people keep leaving out this tag, to remind some smartphone users that, despite all the wonders their $1000+ device can do, it do…

The author of "The tangled Web" [1] also has two pages on how to resin cast gears [2] and basics of electronics [3]. I really admire this kind of mother day "renaissance man" :-) 1: https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/tangled/ 2: https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/gcnc/ 3: https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/electronics/
btw first time I notice you cannot edit your posts past certain time, apparently?
