MODERATORS
 

I've started gaining an interest in independent personal blogs on the internet, even starting my own (chainsmash.net, if anyone cares). I've mostly been inspired by blogs like digdeeper.club and lukesmith.xyz, as well as from other notable people such as RMS and George Hotz.

Do you guys have any blogs that you enjoy?

I haven't been a reader for about ten years as it's resonated less with me, but some of Joel's old posts are pure gold.

I enjoy axbom, LOW←TECH MAGAZINE and Dedoimedo quite a bit. For something more focused on the history of tech, specially games, there's also The Digital Antiquarian.

OS/2 Museum for software archaeology, Nicole Express, and Leaded Solder for vintage-computer/game stories. If you like RMS, you might also like Richard Falkvinge

learnbyexample has very nice blogposts (or rather books) on GNU and sysadmin topics, samwho.dev has great visualisations on compsci concepts
