A while ago Jason Scott put all these 400+ books on the Internet Archive:
[Archive] MIT Press: Open Access Materials : Free Texts : Free Download, Borrow and Streaming : Internet Archive
Via: [Wayback/Archive] Jason Scott: “MIT has a set of books labelled “Open Access” but it’s a little clunky to find them on the MIT Press site, and so I’ve gone ahead and mirrored 400+ of them here: archive.org/details/mit_…” — Bluesky

Every now and then you bump into an interesting post on a workflow you already have but did not know the name for.
This time it is [Wayback/Archive] Introduction to the Zettelkasten Method which has this nice definition:
A Zettelkasten is a personal tool for thinking and writing. It has hypertextual features to make a web of thought possible. The difference to other systems is that you create a web of thoughts instead of notes of arbitrary size and form, and emphasize connection, not a collection.
I thought a bit about it and it feels quite a bit like this blog: the ~5k draft posts at the time of writing are similar to a Zettelkasten: short notes with title and links either internally or externally.
These drafts are private, but the actual blog posts are either public (already published: some 8k at the time of writing) or queued for publication (some 2 years at the time of writing).
