The thing about blogs: If it looks modern with a short URL and has tons of cookie popups and self-promo, stay away. If it looks like a plain HTML page with some basic CSS, found at a long URL at the bottom of your search result, it's probably trustworthy and written by a passionate self-hosting human being.

Basically, the more it looks like motherfuckingwebsite.com, the higher the quality of the material you're about to read.

@dside @menelion Short wasn't the correct word. I should have said "professional" or "memorable". I'm talking about those worthless companies that have their own "blogs", which are just advertisements in disguise. The real blogs will use URLs like blog.arandomcomputerthought.org or ijustwanttoselfhost.org or something fun like that. They're just people doing it because it's fun or because they want to share interesting things they learned.
