Hi. I have a category Little Tech Blogs in my rss reader where I put those cool niche blogs mostly about Linux, FOSS, programming, etc... Many of them I found by articles linked in this community, so I was wondering if you guys know about more blogs like that. By little I mean it's run by one person or a small group of people, no big website publishing daily content - it can be two articles a year. The criteria isn't necessarily strict - any blog that the Linux people finds interesting is worth checking for me :)

Here is a list of feeds that I already have:

Planets are (or maybe, used to be?) a good way to learn about people involved in projects, e.g.:

  • planet.mozilla.org
  • planet.gnome.org
  • planet.kde.org

I guess you get the gist.

Planets are a periodically updated collection of blogs on a topic that were very popular in the 2000s and early 2010s.

I still follow Planet KDE and Planet Debian, and can vouch for both. They're great for both learning about the development processes of those projects, and finding interesting blogs on unrelated topics that happen to have been written or linked by the contributors.

Came to mention them, they have pretty informative guides and I save a lot of articles from their RSS feed for later reference.

[-] mat@linux.community 12 points 8 months ago

Can't hurt to do a little self-promotion ey? I recently started writing https://blog.allpurposem.at/minecraft-qr about FOSS stuff I work on and ways I've managed to survive my gamedev degree on Linux. Aiming for one post per month, though my next one is taking a bit longer.

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 6 points 8 months ago

Awesome blog, thank you! The post you linked about the minecraft in qr code is also super interesting, I cannot wait to read more tomorrow.

[-] mat@linux.community 2 points 7 months ago

Thank you so much :D I had a lot of fun with that one; happy you liked it.

[-] D_Air1@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Is this available over rss? I was trying to add it, but wasn't able to find a feed link.

[-] mat@linux.community 3 points 7 months ago

Yep! You can just paste the URL of the blog into your reader (or try https://blog.allpurposem.at/feed/ if that doesn't work).

[-] D_Air1@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Thanks, that works.

[-] kevincox@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 months ago

Timely question, I just wrote a blog-post on this My Favourite Feeds

[-] wwwgem@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago

If you're looking for random posts on Linux terminal and tools then I'll do some self promotion: https://www-gem.codeberg.page

Don't expect for regular posting or any professional advice, it's just my personal experience and thoughts shared with 10 people on the planet :) Maybe 11... I can find a chair for you to join.

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 8 months ago

Thank you very much, this is precisely the type of blog I've been looking for! I'll be more than happy to take the chair :D

[-] wwwgem@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Welcome :) Any feedback is much appreciated. I love sharing with people (that's actually why I have this blog for).

[-] enshu@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I love this thread so much, I'm now at 45 feeds on my reader

[-] hertg@infosec.pub 5 points 8 months ago

Here are some feeds of individuals from my list:

And I also started a blog myself recently. I'm just some dude though

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 8 months ago

That's great, thank you! Your blog looks interesting, and some random dude's blog is often where I find the most interesting articles :)

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Jim Salters' practicalzfs.com has RSS feeds. Not exactly a blog but good info to be found in the answers.

Hacker News, obviously. Also, lobste.rs is cool (its not only rust stuff)

Fucked shit up. I installed adguard on it and it crashed every 3 or so days. I realized it didn't have enough ram so I just reverted back to having a dedicated dns server.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

One day, one day, someone will create an open source DOCSIS modem+router with enough RAM for other services. Pretty much like Fritzbox, but actually open source instead of whatever they're doing now.

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 8 months ago

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for :)

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I made a friend on github as I was making the site. This is their blog:

I should finally setup RSS. Is it a pain to get it going for the first time?

[-] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 7 months ago

I always read from my phone, so I just grab Feeder from F-Droid and start adding feeds. It can also usually detect the feed even without explicit feed url, so you don't have to hunt the rss button on the website you wanna add. I just realized you might be talking about setting up RSS on your blog. If so, please ignore my comment.

[-] Wilhelmvon@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Awesome thread! I would like to thank you guys for the awesome recommendations.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
