I'm moving all my writing here
Fifteen years of posts, spread across eight platforms, now live in one archive on my own domain. Here's what changed and where to follow along.
From now on I’m writing in one place, and this is it. If you’ve been reading me on Medium, DEV, LinkedIn or X, new posts will only show up here, on jatinkrmalik.com.
How it ended up scattered
I started in 2011 with a gadget news blog in college. Then came a Blogger log of me learning JavaScript, BitSnapper for reviews and Raspberry Pi projects, a short-lived GitHub Pages blog, and later Medium, LinkedIn and X threads. Every time I moved, the old stuff stayed behind, and most of it slowly rotted. Some of those blogs are gone now and only survive on the Wayback Machine.
I got tired of that. I’d rather own one archive that I can move, back up and keep alive than keep renting space on eight platforms that change their rules every few years.
What’s here now
Everything I could recover is on this site, around 220 posts going back to 2011. The About page lists where each batch first lived, and every old post says where it was first published. There’s search (press /), tags, and a few series, like the Zion homelab one.
A bunch of it I rebuilt with help from AI agents: moving posts out of dead platforms, fixing broken images, writing the per-post share cards. They did a lot of the grunt work, and I checked what went in.
Where to follow
- RSS: jatinkrmalik.com/rss.xml. This is the best way.
- X: @jatinkrmalik. I’ll post a link when something new goes up.
That’s it. No newsletter for now.
What happens to the old accounts
They stay up, I’m not deleting anything. But they’re frozen: the old Medium and DEV posts will stay where they are, and the copies here are the ones I’ll keep fixing and updating. If you find a broken link or a missing image in an old post, tell me on X and I’ll fix it here.
See you in the next one. There’s a lot more homelab coming lol.
