Welcome! I’m happy to see people finding their way back here.
This blog has been running since 2008 but I registered the domain and setup the forum in 2025. First I was thinking of starting a new site but since this blog had been running without getting hacked during this whole time it was worth a shot to let WordPress handle it. The forum is kind of simple but runs fast and is relatively easy to maintain.
I’m not trying to recreate eurasia[.]nu where the main attraction was the download section and news, not sure what this will turn out to be but feels like it’s moving in the hobby direction, with retro consoles, electronics, sharing projects, helping out, etc.
For a while it seemed like mainstream social media services would take over individual sites like this completely, and perhaps that’s still true, but there’s a lot of censorship, intrusive ads and other bullshit going on where people are getting banned for arbitrary reasons. I think under these circumstances it’s more relevant than ever to run independent sites.
