Ask HN: How do people find your blog?
I always wanted to start and write on my blog - just to share some things that other may find useful.
I started with something simple - entirely preloaded (all howtos) and static:
1. http://www.strony.toya.net.pl/~vermaden/links.htm
I assume no one ever entered it ... besides me of course.
Then some time later - I though that having that 'static' links site is pointless - lets start 'proper' blog this time. I have chosen Gogle Blogspot this time.
2. https://vermaden.blogspot.com/
... and after several posts I generally abandoned it.
Several years later I made a decision to make another blog ... but this time with some strategy behind.
3. https://vermaden.wordpress.com/
This (3rd) attempt was 'successful' and people sometimes actually visit my blog - sometimes even comment. In March of 2023 I will 'celebrate' the 5th year of that blog. I have made about 100 posts there and I made about 100,000+ views per year:
- https://i.imgur.com/raWvrZj.png
What is the secret of [3.] being successful and [1.] and [2.] definitely not? Sharing.
I do not know what blog (subject matter) you are trying to share - but for IT/UNIX/BSD/Linux related blogs (as mine) you need to share each post on these mediums:
- mastodon
- twitter
- lobsters
- hacker news
- FreeBSD forums
- reddit (r/BSD)
- reddit (r/FreeBSD)
- reddit (r/unix)
- reddit (r/linux)
- linkedin
Not sure about Facebook/Meta as their 'ecosystem' definitely does not suit my needs.
You need to ask yourself where and how people would try to find your content. They would definitely not browse a catalog of blogs. Maybe they wil ltry the search engine ... but search engines only pick up sites that are somewhat popular. They omit pages/blogs that are 'unknown'. How blogs are known? By many links pointing to them.
In other words - if you do not share your work/posts on all 'relevant' platforms - then you will 'die' in a 'non-known' hell.
If you believe your work - and it is work, you 'waste' your time to write/share these things you do - is valuable - then share them in all possible mediums/medias. If your content is good - you have to do nothing else. If your content is crap - You will immediately get feedback about it :D
One of the things that I really appreciate was the feedback I got. I often assumed that I know a lot about 'X' topic - just to change my mind after several comments later and providing and UPDATE to my blog post :)
I do not know what should I add here more so I will end my comment - but feel free to ask if You have any questions.

Making TV Useful For My 94-yr-old Aunt
In my experience, modern entertainment takes too much cognitive load to get up and running. With streaming/on demand, I have to make pointed decisions on what show I'm watching. I don't always want to make a decision right now of what to watch, I just want to watch something that's good enough or fits a certain theme. TV Channel creation programs, like DizqueTV[0] or ErsatzTV[1] have taken the load off, or at least lets me do that cognitive work in advance when making the channels.
You still need some way to get input to swap between these digital channels (I use Plex to surface my shows and schedule), but if you have existing local content it really feels like the "old" way of doing TV. You can even add commercials between episodes if you wanted!
I'm not sure if I'd call this foolproof for a 94-year-old, especially since sometimes the software needs to restart, but it's a step above modern streaming IMO.

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
For those interested in doing something similar there's a Plex add-on for making custom TV channels:
https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv
Personally I want almost this. I want to rotate the TV shows my kids watch in the morning but I don't want to start part way through a show (the one part of the old analogue experience that I don't miss at all). Difficult to square that circle.

Seperate dizqueTV Instances on 15-20 Devices
My idea is for each screen plugged in to its own Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB running at the CLI. The Pi would have its own instance of dizqueTV and its stream viewed through some type of custom program running SMPlayer that is also on the PI and outputting the to hdmi port. DizqueTV would have FFMPEG disabled and the content directly accessed per this guide: https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv/wiki/Raspberry-guide

Gamechanger Plex TV channels with dizquetv. Didn't know about this until tonight!
I have a potato (J4105) Plex server and tried DizqueTV, ErsatzTV and Jason's DizqueTV fork very recently. But I couldn't get it stable unfortunately. When one series would work great, another one wouldn't, or even refused to play. Or certain program boundaries made the player crash from time to time. And watermark overlays were another story of it's own.
