Found this as I was waiting for a delayed 77 bus today.


The book Here Comes the Sun by Bill McKibben is a really great read on the changing economics of solar. It came out August 2025 so its fairly up to date too.

I've been working on my writing over the last half year, so there's been a bump in post volume.


Adding another data point from my own experience. I had a very similar case with my own blog which I detailed here: https://blog.matthewbrunelle.com/i-dont-want-to-play-the-seo...

Gone through everything I can find, but nothing has made a difference for months now. Would love to hear any thoughts people have that aren't the usual checklist items.

Good news is I still get some visitors through Kagi, DDG, and Bing.


Author here. I have a big backlog of posts, but I did this one first because I was trying to cram an explanation of BLE beacons into the project post.

> Is there something like war-driving for BLE Beacons?

Yup, that essentially what Neostumbler is! If you have an Android device go check it out.

My hope for the project is to make a little embedded device I can use, so I don't have to drain my phones battery. Also because it's fun to learn about a new topic.


Thanks. (iPhone user though. I'll look for another solution. :-))


I've been collecting a history of this sort of thing, and list of companies here: https://blog.matthewbrunelle.com/on-self-hosting-opentofu-an... . I'll have to add this one.

Let me know if there's more I can include!

Really feel a similar sentiment to a lot of others in the comments! I'm enjoying the recommendations other shared here. I _think_ this follows the rules of conduct for HN but let me know, I recently brained dumped about the following on my blog about the general experience setting up GrapheneOS: https://blog.matthewbrunelle.com/i-picked-a-really-weird-tim...


This is really cool. I knew there was a policy on titles for submissions but not that there is also an automated process. Do you know if it's documented anywhere or are the details intentionally keep a mystery?


Yes I love Materialistic as well.

The link problem is also the only annoyance I have. Sadly it looks like many issues have been opened for the bug but I don't see any discussion on the tickets: https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic/issues?q=is%3Aissue+...


This [episode of Android Studio Backstage](https://androidbackstage.blogspot.com/2018/08/episode-97-blu...) has a lot of fun details about the Android Bluetooth stack and all the problems they have faced with it.
