Ditch google analytics now: 7 open-source alternatives

from Vladimir Klepov as a Coder [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
I love writing, and I also love data. When starting my blog, I integrated Google Analytics — it's free, easy to set up (just drop a few tags on the page), and that's what I knew back then. I did not enjoy it being run by a big corporation, but I was too lazy to research the...

My favourite books from 2023

from alexwlchan [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
I read 75 books this year, which is slightly up on previous years (2022, 2021). I’m pleased with that number, although overall I found it a slightly disappointing year for reading. Although I read more books, there were less that I really loved – less of the sort of book that...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
