Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

So I love reading personal blogs. I have been enjoying Substacks and blogs I found but lately I am longing for more diversity. Almost all the blogs I can find are from the West.

Can any of you recommend me any good personal blogs written by South East Asians (especially Malaysians) or other Asians? I seem to find that Malaysians like to blog about three things: Food, politics and money 😂 I prefer not to read those, tho food doesn't hurt I suppose but will get a bit tired after a while

I prefer genuinely personal blogs that are slice of life stuff. If you know of any please recommend to me! 🙏

Haha dang. I am not great with git yet, still learning. But maybe we can sort of keep an ever expanding list that people can add to. What platform is good for that?

well there are wikis, but that may be a bit overkill, and there aren't many free wiki hosters left nowadays.

perhaps more suitable would be collaborative editing/note-taking platforms. there are the open source ones like etherpad and hedgedoc, where you can choose (or even self-host) your own instance (here's the public instance list for etherpad and hedgedoc). there's also notion, which I think the admin team here uses, so you can probably ask them for more information, but that's a centralized platform.

edit: by the way, what resources are you using to learn git? I enjoyed reading this, and found it helpful (it helps that at least one of the examples they use is a story writing one, and the software itself is more interactive out-of-the-box than git) even though it is not exactly git (but still in the same category; windows and macosx binaries available at official site in case you find it interesting).

edit 2: anyway, I feel distributed version control is still best learnt collaboratively (it was invented to solve such a problem anyway), so if you ever get bored of typing commands into the terminal, let me know.
