In my Obsidian-style notes section on my digital garden, I also started some notes on my RTL-SDR software-defined radio hobby: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/digital-garden/notebook/radio/rtl-sdr/
I first started playing with this in 2020, and every time I come back I have to re-learn a bunch of stuff. I previously stored all my info in a bookmarks folder in Firefox, and having nice notes on it is helping.
The wikilinks plugin (https://github.com/photogabble/eleventy-plugin-interlinker) I mentioned above is helping a lot with the Obsidian -> website transition.

One of the things in my digital garden is this set of tutorials on webmentions: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/digital-garden/tutorials/webmention-tutorial/
I noticed I kept writing blog posts about them (and realized I would probably keep doing that for a while!) and decided to put everything in one place.
You can use the table of contents (also a new site feature!) to hop around and choose the tutorial you want, and the first two are pretty easy even with only a small amount of HTML experience.

I've just changed the hashtag for (all of) my "cool personal homepages" series from #CPH (which was heavily used for flight tracking stuff") to #CPHP - which seems to be free. It's really cute how this series survived because some of you guys nugged me to go on when I paused for a while.
Go on you smallweb ppl! ❤️

In the process of adding a digital garden, I found a useful plugin for Eleventy (github.com/photogabble/...) that lets me use wikilinks as I would in Obsidian, making it easier to link my notes together.

I added a digital garden section to my site! reillyspitzfaden.com/digital-gard...
I'm using it to put tutorials, research/project notes, and other things that I will return to and build on over time.

My list of RSS feeds has been updated!
For those that aren't in the loop, this is a categorized list of feeds that I follow. You can easily copy the direct RSS link to things that interest you, or even download a full OPML file for import into your favorite RSS reader.
RSS is the past--and the future! Everyone should use it!
Feel free to respond to this with interesting RSS feeds that you follow.
https://tristanb.me/feeds/
Changes (05/14/2025):
New: Manton Reece, WIL WHEATON dot NET, Newsweek, The New Republic, Release notes from authentik, Release notes from Docker, Release notes from pi-hole, Release notes from vscode, Home Assistant, Joel on Software, LambdaMOO Status Blog, Lobsters.
Removed: AudioGames.net Forum New releases (no longer viable because of their aggressive Cloudflare protection), Popehat, James Hoffmann, Linus Tech Tips, Marques Brownlee, Not Just Bikes, TechLinked
Moved: Changelog on Tailscale (now under Software Releases instead of Technology)
In case it wasn't obvious, all YouTube channels have been removed. I haven't been consuming YouTube via RSS for a long time, although I'd love to return to that someday.

Is blogging my excuse to just build a website?
I noticed that I love tinkering with my website — creating new pages and improving the site overall. However my initial plan was to start a website in order to write more and learn English, so lets write this article about my desire to write more.
Ideas to write more often
Try to publish one article a week—short or long, it doesn't matter.

Sometimes the interplay of #CSS & #HTML feel like magic to me...
They let me create even the most subtle shifts that mean something to me.
Like I thought it would be a nice visual nod to the unhinged nature of my #website changelog to have the "log" part actually "unhinging" itself.
So, with a little <span> & "transform" ✨maaaaagic✨, the smallest little tweak brought me an outsized amount of #joy

Welcome @adelinawrites!
You are not alone in wanting a corner for yourself.
Judging by the screenshot, may I suggest looking into adding subresource integrity tags for external content? Don't let Google silently change the way your site looks. 🙂
