How to Find and Navigate Articles on Win Tech Blog

Updated

Win Tech Blog is a Jekyll-based technical writing site whose homepage is organized around two navigation aids: a Recently Updated list and Trending Tags. If you want the newest posts, scan Recently Updated; if you want a subject area, start from a tag such as Linux, Operating Systems, SQL, Javascript, or AWS. Posts are ordered by date, so older notes sit further down the page, and some entries are written in Burmese rather than English.

What the homepage gives you

The site describes itself as "a minimal, responsive and feature-rich Jekyll theme for technical writing." In practice, that means the landing page does the navigation work for you:

  • Recently Updated — a dated list of the latest posts, newest first.
  • Trending Tags — a tag cloud pointing to recurring subjects.

There is no separate search box or category menu described in the site's own content, so these two blocks are the primary way in.

Browsing by recency

The Recently Updated list mixes topics and formats, so it is the fastest way to see what the author is currently writing about. Recent entries include:

Post Date Tags
Why unshare --pid throws "fatal library error, lookup self" Jul 14, 2026 Operating Systems, Linux, Namespaces
Debugging SQL fanouts Jun 29, 2026 Database, SQL
How Linux processes were created Jun 20, 2026 Operating Systems, Linux, Process
Linux processes and memory management notes Jun 5, 2026 Operating Systems, Linux
Reclaiming 160 GB from WSL2's hidden disk file Jun 5, 2026 Windows 11, Troubleshooting

Because dates are attached to each entry, you can tell at a glance whether a note is a fresh debugging write-up or an older reference piece.

Browsing by tag

Trending Tags groups posts by subject rather than by date. Tags visible on the site include:

  • Operating Systems and Linux — the most frequent pairing, covering processes, memory, and namespaces.
  • SQL and Database — query-level debugging, such as join fanouts.
  • Javascript — event loop internals and npm package structure.
  • AWS and Networking — cloud networking fundamentals aimed at software engineers.
  • Windows 11 and Troubleshooting — practical fixes like the WSL2 disk-space problem.
  • Localization — application localization workflows.
  • Life and Canada — personal experience writing, separate from the technical notes.

Clicking a tag narrows the list to that subject, which is more efficient than scrolling the full archive when you already know the area you want.

Handling language and mixed content

Not every post is in English. Some titles and bodies are in Burmese — for example, the cloud networking piece for software engineers and the JavaScript event loop article. If you only read English, check the excerpt before committing to a long post; the tag and date still tell you whether the topic is relevant even when the prose is not.

The archive also spans very different eras. The JavaScript event loop note is dated Jun 25, 2022, while the WSL2 disk note is Jun 5, 2026. Treat older posts as reference material and check whether tooling details still apply.

A practical navigation routine

  1. Open the homepage and read the Recently Updated block for anything dated in the last few weeks.
  2. If you are chasing a specific problem, jump to Trending Tags and pick the closest subject tag.
  3. Scan titles and dates within that tag; open the post whose title matches your task.
  4. If the post is in Burmese and you need English, fall back to the tag list for a related English entry.
  5. For anything older than a year or two, verify commands and version-specific behavior against current documentation before applying it.
