Fcron Is the Best Cron
I was annoyed by cron/fcron limitations and figured systemd is the way go because of its flexibility and power, but also was annoyed about manually managing tons of unit files. So I wrote a tool with a config that looks kinda like a crontab, but uses systemd (or launchd on mac) behind the scenes: https://github.com/karlicoss/dron#what-does-it-do
E.g. a simplest job definition looks like this
job(every(mins=10), 'ping https://beepb00p.xyz', unit_name='ping-beepb00p')

Ask HN: Share Your Personal Site
https://beepb00p.xyz I mostly write about data liberation, quantified self and knowledge management.
Some notable links:
https://beepb00p.xyz/myinfra.html -- map of my personal data infrastructure (usually people say I'm a bit mad after seeing this :) )
https://beepb00p.xyz/blog-graph.html -- a nice visual way to explore my posts
https://beepb00p.xyz/exobrain -- my "external brain", basically public notes/links dump

Graphviz: Open-source graph visualization software
Graphviz is awesome!
Here are a couple of my diagrams:
https://beepb00p.xyz/blog-graph.html -- graph of my blog pages with tags/connections between posts, generated with a DSL-ish python script https://github.com/karlicoss/beepb00p/blob/master/misc/index...
https://beepb00p.xyz/myinfra.html -- map of my personal data & infrastructure (discussed a year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26269832 ). Also a similar DSL https://github.com/karlicoss/myinfra/blob/master/generate.py
The main downside for me is that sometimes it gets the positioning wrong, and you can see how it can be easily fixed, but it's hard to convince graphviz to actually do so. Basically I'd love a tool where I can do 10% of positioning manually and let the rest be constraint based like in graphviz.

Design of This Website
Sorry, that's not minimalism. gwern.net isn't either; I'd call that "brutalism" instead.
THIS is minimalism: https://manuel.kiessling.net
Precisely in the sense of "NOT a lot going on at all times". Just the content, presented pleasently.
And importantly, it's not only minimalism in look-and-feel, but also technically: even a long post with an embedded image like https://manuel.kiessling.net/2021/05/02/tutorial-react-singl... weighs in at under 200 KiB. Loads in under 3 seconds even on "slow 3G" in Chrome. 362 milliseconds via my office's wifi.
Also, no JavaScript. Nothing moves or jumps. Perfectly usable and consumable in a CLI browser like Lynx.
All of that without looking brutalist.

Technical blogging in the era of Stack Overflow
It’s also a great extension of a CV, at least I see my https://manuel.kiessling.net blog that way.

Small B Blogging (2018)
I have a very oldschool "FTP webspace" with Ionos (from 1&1) - it's really just your run-of-the-mill static website hosting package, basically unchanged since the late nineties.
Well, it surely changed a lot under the hood from the provider's perspective, I assume, but from the user's perspective, it works as it has always worked: you have a domain, you have an (S)FTP account, you upload your static HTML/CSS files, et voilá, you have a homepage/blog.
I create my HTML/CSS locally using Hugo. The source for my homepage and its blog posts can be seen at https://github.com/manuelkiessling/manuel.kiessling.net.
Super simple, no headaches, no downtimes. Less than 4 bucks per month.
I do depend on Ionos, of course, but as it's only HTML and CSS, it with every web site hosting solution on the planet.
I also depend on Hugo, of course, but Hugo is open source, and I've even stored the Hugo binaries for different platforms locally.
My homepage is at https://manuel.kiessling.net/.
