Dunno man, sometimes I blog stuff I want to remember (how to do task X or Y, some arcane ffmpeg incantation, recipes, etc) and when I need it, it’s easier to find it in my public blog which is accessible from anywhere, vs. it being a file buried in some computer I have to sit in front of, or somewhere in a shared drive I have to authenticate to, etc.

For some things there is value in them being publicly accessible even if nobody but me cares or uses them.

I blog stuff I want to remember

I have a wiki for that, but I keep reading the Arbiters of the Internet around here claim wikis are even deader than personal blogs, so what do I know. :-)

I mean sure but is your wiki public? If not, that’s one extra step to access your content. If it’s public then it’s basically a blog right?

It's on a public IP, but isn't open to public users. I don't personally think 'the place I scribble stuff I want to remember down the road' is a blog, but I'm equally uninterested in arguing a distinction I don't think much matters. I don't know what you mean by 'extra step' unless you mean 'loging in', which is a hurdle I assume I'd have to jump over if I was posting a blog entry.

Edit: hit post too soon...
