Yesterday it was exactly ten years ago, when I published\u00c2\u00a0the first post<\/a> on my personal blog<\/a>. Before that, I kind of blogged on the old, old version of ParaEasy<\/a> about flying adventures. For our adventure in South America, we wrote our diary on a manually edited html page<\/a>.
\nOn my personal blog, I still write about paragliding, but also about Bitcoin, Tesla, electronics projects, software development, work and holidays. Whatever I deem interesting enough to write about and preserve for a couple of years. Over these years, I published 193 posts, and left 6 drafts unfinished. My first post a decade ago was about a handheld spectrum analyzer for the 2.4 GHz ISM band<\/a>. That device is still running every day on my desk at work. The display lost a line or two at the bottom, but that doesn’t hurt the functionality much. And only recently I used part of the code again for another project.
\nThe post that is probably read the most, judging by the number of comments, is about resetting my favorite Logitech keyboard<\/a>. It helped countless people who had the same problem with their keyboards.
\nI don’t track visitors on principle. So I don’t know how many people visit the page and what articles they read. One time a company approached me with an offer to put advertisements on my blog. But it was very vague, and since I assumed that they would want to track my visitors, I didn’t answer. The blog is not for making money, and I don’t think my posts are interesting enough for lots of people that it would be worth wile for advertising anyway.
\nThe page ran on WordPress<\/a> from the start and it still is. For the first couple of years it was hosted on an Alix<\/a> and for the last couple of years it has been on a NUC<\/a>. There was also another computer in between that I can’t quite remember the specs. They all ran Debian or Ubuntu and served the pages with Apache.
\nFor the last four years I have mirrored the new posts also on my blog<\/a> on ZeroNet<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
