Not really a blog, but https://lwn.net/ by far. Some of the best reporting on current events regarding Linux. Also the only site where I pay to read articles, well worth it.
Opened this to second this. Very good insights (though there’s a lot of opinions, it’s clearly coming from a place of knowledge). Almost every post leads me to re-evaluating stuff around me to good effect.
A lot of good ones have been mentioned like Wandering Thoughts blog and kmandla’s blog.
Here are some quality blogs with thoughtful ideas (the ones I can remember right now):
Arabesque’s ed posts made fall in love with ed. It is not a joke or sarcasm, I really take time from now and them to think about interaction design of a line editor what could be gained from. It is mostly useless in practice but I just keep doing it for the fun and pleasure.

This isn’t super curated, so YMMV… but I searched the rss feeds that I follow for “UNIX” and got this list (in no particular order):
http://undeadly.org for anything OpenBSD-related
About Dragonfly, but actually covering all BSDs to some degree.
https://www.dragonflydigest.com/
The weekly bsd and then one day later the weekly “cool stuff from the internet” are one of the posts I look forward to everyone week!
Absolutely. They manage to be the highlight from my tracked rss these days, quite often.
I second this.

Arabesque’s Unix as IDE posts (from 8 years ago) were really formative for me. Great to see that blog is still alive and kicking.

venam’s own blog has many deep dives into unixy topics: https://venam.nixers.net/blog/
Solene’s percent - Solene is an OpenBSD developer who dabbles in NixOS and often writes about it her experiences in both!
They haven’t updated in a while, and are unlikely to, but https://kmandla.wordpress.com/ and https://inconsolation.wordpress.com/
Luke Smith on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/c/LukeSmithxyz/playlists) has some great videos on Linux software.
No FreeBSD blogs? :(
Planet Debian is obviously Debian focused, but members post on other interesting topics too, https://planet.debian.org/
Following the local timeline of Fosstodon on Mastodon yields a lot of high quality technical posts and blog links, https://fosstodon.org/public
