Somebody built a searchable and browsable BYTE magazine archive with all single pages on one single web page. I think, this is a very nice way of visualising a magazine archive. Enjoy: https://byte.tsundoku.io

I suppose I should post something introductory now that I'm on my own instance.

I'm a Linux lady who used to work in COBOL development and assorted legacy systems management gigs.

Nowadays I make videos and occasional blog posts about Linux and vintage/retro tech. Entirely supported by viewers like you (no sponsors as of writing). Links in bio.

Are we still doing hashtags?
