This website consists of content copied and translated from other Chinese websites (possibly without permission). The homepage is pumping out articles much faster than I would expect a person to be able to write them (though that's subjective). Additionally this article is a machine or human-translated version of https://luyuhuang.tech/2022/06/25/cpp-memory-order.html https://luyuhuang.tech/2022/06/25/cpp-memory-order.html (both articles have a Chinese comment of `将变量 a 加载到寄存器`, which was not translated into English; I would expect an author to not put Chinese comments into English articles) but the source article goes completely unattributed. The adjacent article https://www.sobyte.net/post/2022-06/shell-1/ https://www.sobyte.net/post/2022-06/shell-1/ is a translated version of https://a-wing.top/shell/2021/05/01/sh-compatibles-history https://a-wing.top/shell/2021/05/01/sh-compatibles-history, which copies the code comments verbatim while also not citing the source.
The website's About page says, "What I’ve read, what I’ve learned." So I guess they're technically telling users the articles aren't actually written by the blog's owner? Of course the blog owner includes Google Ads on articles taken from other sites without attribution.
At least the recent articles at least have the courtesy to link to their original sources. The latest article from 9 days ago (https://www.sobyte.net/post/2023-08/gonew/ https://www.sobyte.net/post/2023-08/gonew/) is a translated version of https://tonybai.com/2023/08/11/introduction-to-the-gonew-tool/ https://tonybai.com/2023/08/11/introduction-to-the-gonew-too... (from a different author) and shares the same snippets, though this article includes the original article's URL at the bottom (in a non-clickable code block to avoid sharing SEO reputation I guess?).
EDIT: The stolen content was actually noticed last time sobyte.net showed up on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32456336 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32456336), but that user did not investigate to find that multiple articles were all translated without attribution.
