Re: Curated list of personal blogs
#2Hi, nowadays blogging is becoming less and less popular and people use twitter as their personal blog. This site is created to provide curated list of fine blogs, provided with their tags,feed links and hackernews page. The site is hosted on github and you can contribute to it if you want.

#3I am afraid to blog. I could write about my career and my hobby, but those do not seem to be interesting for others. My opinion may be interesting, but it is risky because something I write may come back to offend others one day, or get me in trouble. One time ago I considered blogging anonymously about the economy but doing so anonymously felt disingenuous.

I sympathize with all you say, I've been through all that myself. But why would blogging anonymously be disingenuous? Plenty of writers have opted for anonymity. If the ideas spur thought or discussion, they're still valuable.

#5Awesome, I agree, personal blogs are great.
I can't help but notice all the blogs tagged "software" in the list (so far). In fact, I think if there was a filter to exclude software blogs, there might be only a few remaining?
I missed out on the whole RSS thing when it was popular. My sense was that it solved the problem of knowing when, among a whole bunch of blogs, a site had new content.
Perhaps it exists, I want an app/site that will scrape a list of sites I give it (blogs for example) to show me any new content each day. A personal home page with titles and perhaps a hundred or so words from each site I track that has new content.
In the broader picture, I feel overwhelmed by the amount of technology these days, spend too much of my time browsing, etc. (HN, case in point). So I am looking for something I call TRAoT, The Right Amount of Technology.
Maybe it's a "magic mirror" that displays this overview, home page. Interactivity is minimal or nil. No ability to comment, follow links, etc. Like the morning newspaper of old, I spend a little time in the morning with it and then go about my day "offline".
In short I am looking at ways to take the open-ended and stress inducing (anxiety inducing?) relationships I have with technology and replace them with a more staid, maybe even serendipitous, relationship that allows me back more free time, less stress.
Maybe this "Solar Punk" thing is something of the Zeitgeist of our time.

You could consider adding the sentence to your blog post: “I have written the above based on my present understanding, experience and maturity. As these improve over time, hopefully my opinions would improve too!”

I mean, it's building in "Hacker News Points" as a first-level primitive, so idk if they mind that software's the focus.

There is no opinion which is safe from others taking offense. You might as well blog.

I think what you want is a "Planet" set up? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_(software) or maybe something like River5? https://github.com/scripting/river5
