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/.

What *don't* you share in your digital garden? Cross-pollinating very different topics.
Digital Gardens are freeform, public collections of ever-evolving personal knowledge, comparable to an "open" PKM system. Maggie Appleton is my go to thinker about them: She's written about them here and here.

Is there place to ask for digital garden help or bit of mentoring?
some ideas which came into my mind: 1. You can always ask your question in this subreddit. 2. Bob Doto's Zettelkasten class I now open, if you want to learn about the process of taking notes: https://bobdoto.computer/zettelkasten-class (a Digital Garden is a public Zettelkasten in my opnion) 3. Maggie Appleton's github is very helpful for learning about Digital Gardening: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

This blog explores the idea of 'porn logic' in tabletop RPG's, that every problem is in many systems solved with one solution, typically combat.
Well, as a fellow nerd with too much time and little qualifications, I offer you my compliments and encouragement! And if you'd ever find the time and the will to return to the website idea, I suggest you look into the concept of digital gardens, which are sort of anti-blogs (non-chronological, incomplete by design, encourage thinking aloud).
- Are there any example Vaults I can look at? Struggling to think "the obsidian way".

Show HN: How to create a 3D space using CSS

Ask HN: What are the best minimalist, text-centric blogging platforms?
Permanence is my concern with the indie blog hosting services mentioned here (bearblog, prose.sh, nicheless.blog)
Also, because you already have a lot of the content, maybe you don't need a blog? what about a "digital garden" ?
What is a digital garden? -> https://maggieappleton.com/garden-history
Tools (easy options included) -> https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners
If you have your content in a note-taking app like obsidian, there is even simple tutorials on how to freely publish it with all those precious "multiple tags per category", all in one go.

Ask HN: What are the best-designed personal blogs you’ve come across?
and here is a general collection of dope blog additions: https://brainbaking.com/post/2022/04/cool-things-people-do-w...
My overall advice is unless you're a designer flexing your skills is to focus less on the design and more on the actual writing! The internet is littered with the emaciated husks of nice good looking sites hosting nary an entry beyond "How I Made My New Blog With X"
