Rediscovering the Blog

Make Blog Great Again!

About 20 years ago, I hosted a WordPress blog on a free web hosting services. Back then, blogs were as popular as X (Twitter) and TikTok are today; almost everyone who was online had their own. The Internet was also very open at that time. We could use RSS readers like Google Reader to subscribe to updates from any website. Even though people created content everywhere, we could aggregate it all in one place. The content I read was entirely determined by my own subscriptions, rather than being confined to an information cocoon by recommendation algorithms.

Although blogging is no longer in vogue, this presents a perfect opportunity for me to start a new blog and use it as my public notebook. This is especially true now that I've discovered an app called Planet, which allows for easy content publishing through decentralized technologies like IPFS.

To intentionally keep it niche and low-profile, I will be writing in English and will not actively mention this blog's existence on social media or elsewhere. However, if you have come across the articles here for any reason, you are most welcome.

The final published articles may be proofread and polished by AI tools, as my English proficiency is quite limited. I also hope to improve my English skills through this process.
