I slightly updated my website which is based on my nerdy #manpageblog engine.

I recently added several #SEO improvements and made some smaller changes to the design to make it more readable but also slightly more modern. I'm not sure if this isn't already too fancy again where it should focus on simplicity and alignment with traditional manpages.

If you're interested into manpageblog, you can find it at:

FreshPorts -- www/manpageblog: Simple and static blog generator in manpage design

manpageblog is a small, lightweight blog engine written in Python and offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides simplicity and ease of use, making it accessible even for users with limited technical knowledge. The lightweight nature ensures quick installation and minimal resource consumption, making it suitable for various hosting environments. No database is needed at all. The blog engine is highly customizable, see the examples director for a complete set of configuration and template files and some sample content.. After installation, you can create a "blog.conf" file based on the one in the examples directory of this port with "base_path" adjusted to the document root of your blog and then start a simple HTTP server using the command "manpageblog -m http.server". The server URL can be changed in "blog.conf", too. The default value is: "http://localhost:8000".

Building a Simple Search Engine That Actually Works

You don't need Elasticsearch for most projects. I built a simple search engine from scratch that tokenizes everything, stores it in your existing database, and scores results by relevance. Dead simple to understand and maintain.

Une ode à la simplicité.

Plus j’acquiert de l'expérience, plus j'adhère à cette philosophie.

I’m a proud CRUD monkey

Web pages aren’t that different from what they were in the late ’90s, early 2000s. They’re still just forms. They still just write to databases. A lot of people, I think, are very uncomfortable with the fact that they are essentially CRUD monkeys. They just make systems that create, read, update, or delete rows in a database and they have to compensate for that existential dread by over complicating things. — DHH, Lex Fridman Podcast #474 (2025)

I'm really slow off the mark sometimes.

Soon after I got my first Android device in 2022 and installed F-Droid, I started finding apps from;

https://simplemobiletools.com/

They were so easy and pleasant to use that I promoted them here, encouraging anyone using using them to donate to the developer, Tibor Kaputa. I even considered buying the Simple Phone he was selling;
