Website themes with uBlock Origin

from Dariusz Winkler | Software development [alt+shift+b] in programming

1st Feb 2024
Browser extensions like Stylish, Stylus or Tampermonkey make it possible to create custom website themes/skins. At the same time, I try to lower the number of add-ons that I use, mostly due to security and performance reasons. Interestingly, the uBlock Origin ad blocker can...

Delaying asset requests in Eleventy

from Dariusz Winkler | Software development [alt+shift+b] in programming

29th Sep 2023
While building my photography portfolio, I've put much effort into optimizing the picture loading behavior. One technique is to provide a visual fallback as long as the images are still loading. First, a static background color included in the markup is displayed. As soon as a...

My personal one-pager

from Dariusz Winkler | Software development [alt+shift+b] in programming

3rd Jul 2023
I've been using "Darek Kay" as my pseudonym since school. My surname was long and difficult to pronounce, so I've been mostly using it in a formal context. Last year, I changed my legal name, which also influenced my online presence. Due to the change, looking up my new name via...

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!
