You should automate this, maybe drive all of these content from a json file and accept PRs.

Come back next week, and that should all be archived (preserving all content and links) and a new site in a completely different direction begun. A pure-CSS 3D space. Lots of handwriting. A synthesised pipe organ. And lots more, over time.

Lots of projects, ranging from embedded systems to DIY CAD software and GPU algorithms.

Recently revamped my theme and trying to write more so this post must be the universe telling me to keep it up :)

Didn't quite hit the criteria for 100 points, so didn't submit a PR (just have a single submission with 69 points: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=davidtran.me)

Made in wordpress over a decade ago, and wordpress gradually enshittified. It's been a long-running wish to switch to something else, but it's never been important enough relative to other things I could be doing.

I sometimes blog about Mega Drive / Genesis stuff or modern things I find interesting :)

Happy browsing/linking!

It's just an introduction to me and where I work/what I do. So bioinformatics, simulation software, and HPC. I was going to start a blog but then realized that's more effort than I want to put in ;)

p.s. I'm looking for a job

reachnick.co

Well, technically the website is built with Nix and CSS, no manual HTML written though ;)

> UPDATE: It is going to take a while to go through all the submissions and add them. If you'd like to help with the process, please send a PR directly to this project: https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd.github.io

If only there was a language that could run in all of our browsers, maybe even easily executable via some Quake-like console window that could open next to the website, that could just grab all visible URLs within some specific parts... Oh well ;)

That's the easy part. The time consuming part is reviewing each website and ensuring that it is a legitimate personal website and not a commercial website or a startup website or blogspam. There have been a fair number of such submissions that do not qualify for this directory that is meant to be about personal websites. So we need to review each submission anyway.

If you or anyone else knows a quicker way to process all these submissions, determine if they are suitable for this directory, extract the relevant data for each webite and convert them to the data format we need, we would very much appreciate pull requests to <https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd>.

By the way, your website was added in <https://github.com/hnpwd/hnpwd/commit/a344c1a> and it is now appears at <https://hnpwd.github.io/>.

Also has a partial interface to my gopher server on the same machine:

Hoping to blog more this year.

https://binarymax.com (very outdated, but still up with hopes to revive)

https://fieldtheories.blog <- Blog

I use it as a digital scrapbook of pictures, projects etc rather than a blog.

I clicked on a random sample of the links posted here and really enjoyed seeing the diversity of things people post about and the variety of designs the sites have.

Recently redesigned it with SvelteKit/Rust and some cool shaders.

Nothing to read.

(woefully out of date, unfortunately)

I've been really inspired to blog more thanks to HN. -- not much, but it's a start.

Try clicking around, moving the mouse, scroll wheel, or refreshing the page.

I've written a small handful of articles, with the most interesting one being about writing a state-of-the-art AVX2 Perlin Noise implementation, which improved on the then-SOTA by 1.8x

Combination of a bit of an intro to who I am and my blog

I haven't updated it in a long time. The goal when I built it was that it loaded quickly.

If anyone has any leads on a comment system that isn't a spam magnet and also works acceptably with a static site, I'm all ears.

There are different hosted-by-us and openai powered spam classifiers, depending on what different communities care about.

I have a plan of making it a "proper" webpage with more sub-pages for hobbies and such. But right now its a 90's style page with some info and a lot of links.

Also, the guideline of 100+ total votes across five or fewer posts is not a strict rule. It exists mainly to discourage submissions that point to very thin sites with little or no content. I have already made exceptions when a website has interesting content even if it has never been posted on HN or received many upvotes.

Also, a website shared today might not meet the 100+ votes guideline now but could meet it at some point in the future. That is another reason why all personal websites are welcome in this thread. Again, this is only a guideline, not a hard rule. If a site clearly meets the criteria, I can add it quickly and save time. If it does not, I will spend a bit more time checking that it is not spam and that it genuinely has something interesting to offer.

And encouraging 'Any personal website is welcome, whether it is a blog, digital garden, personal wiki or something else entirely' but then saying you're discouraging submissions with little content etc. Who knows what people decided to put on their personal domains, ya know?

Anyways, obviously a ton of ppl just threw in their urls here without much concern so it's up to you what you want to include. Onwards!

I'm long overdue adding something, work has been keeping me occupied of late.

Not very thoroughly populated but here's another one for the pile

I write occasionally for my own pleasure and enjoyment.

I'm a turntablist and scratch DJ, been running my site since 2006. I mix and dj mainly old rave stuff and old hip hop. I'm oldskool in that i like to provide free mp3 and even flac versions of my mixes, and I don't just rely on another walled garden type service.

I don't update that site as frequently as i should.

But i'm planning to add a lot more music to it later this year and maybe some video/visual mixes which I've been working on.

Do you keep geese?

I noticed that tree sizes go to 200 if you put nonsense on the field (text emoticon etc).

I have kept ducks (meat) and chickens (eggs) at various times, but I ate all the ducks and I gave away the chickens just last month. Unfortunately free ranging chickens have been very destructive to my gardening, and I am trying to make the 2nd largest rose garden in NH, so that goal has priority.

Also, what’s a 5k?

If you click on it the scene creates more objects by the way. And if you right-click and drag you can move them around.

This would be nice for Bluesky. I deleted my account on Twitter after it turned into a hellscape.

thanks

Too small page margins.

My personal site and blog

https://blog.vasi.li - my blog

A pretty average personal blog--mix of homelab updates, tech solutions, and family ongoings.

https://donohoe.dev/timeswire/ - My favorite thing on my site

I'm not a great designer, but I've tried to capture the who, what and jump off points for reading my writing as well as I could. Always impressed by the creativity and soul many other folks seem able to put into their personal homepages!

Thank you for sharing all these years.

I'll be happy if any of it was helpful :)

Github Pages deployment.

Here's my first website from when I was in college and had no experience in web dev. I still keep it on for nostalgia:

https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/

Check out the library too (this started before Google Books, Internet Archive, and Hathitrust were offering scans):

https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/index.html

The site performance has intermittently suffered a lot from badly behaved crawlers, so if it's slow when you visit I apologize in advance. (Edit: current load average on server is 63. Ugh.)

I have another much more active account here but Sciencemadness so easily reveals my IRL identity that I don't mention this site on the other account.

Love my domain, site is pretty average, mainly just a resume if I need.

my personal page :)

https://www.potluria.com

I only have one blog post, it's effectively a host for my resume and there's a lot of work to do to make it nicer. For one, while I'm trying to convey an aesthetic with the three.js-powered background, it is _not_ performant on some devices. Choosing a SPA architecture in order to keep the background seamless is also biting me in the butt. From an SEO perspective, for example, I can't implement proper OpenGraph metadata on the blog posts since crawlers don't execute JS.

I'm happy though. I'm excited to make it a long-lived shrine.

I'll write more this year, I promise

I would share my personal website which I owned for 25+ years, but AWS deregistered it because of $36.

In case you use AWS as a registrar, be warned: If your account is "closed", they will release your domains. In other words, they make them available as if they were expired. Immediately.

Short summary: I consolidated my domains at AWS years ago just to make it easier to manage everything from one spot. Earlier last year, my credit card I used for auto payments didn't have the $18 I pay for monthly costs. I didn't notice, until my email stopped working because my account was "suspended" due to non payment after a couple months.

When AWS suspended the account, they turned off DNS routing which I managed from Route 53, so not only did my websites stop working, so did my email account (which had DNS entries to route to Gmail).

So I went to log in to pay my bill, but in the time since I had last signed in, AWS had added two factor authentication. But since I couldn't get my email, I couldn't log in. Quiz: How does one pay AWS if you can't log into your account? You cant. How do you submit a ticket? Create a new account, submit a ticket about the old account from there (you still can't pay). And then wait. And then send in a notarized form plus forms of identity. It took over a two months to resolve. Meanwhile, my account went from suspended to "closed".

I put that in quotes because when I was finally able to get my log in working, my account was as it was before with all data and setup intact.

Except for all my domains.

They had been deregistered, despite having paid for years more. AWS cancelled and released my domains without my permission. They actively deleted them from the register list, so anyone out there could buy them.

russellbeattie.com was no longer mine. In addition to the other 6 domains I used.

Because of the SEO of my personal blog, some asshole had added my domain to an "add/drop" service, so it was instantly snapped up and is now used as a scam website. They also have access to all my email, which I've used for everything from Apple to Microsoft to Google and more.

So, I'd love to share my blog with you, but Amazon screwed me so badly it's incredible.

tl;dr: Don't use AWS as your registrar.
