The following is a short list of Internet places I regularly visit. Most of them are in my RSS reader. I try not to promote companies or big publishers here.

### General nerdiness

- [Rubenerd](https://rubenerd.com/) - a very old personal blog of Ruben. FreeBSD, anime, retro computing and general life thoughts. New posts daily! A really cool guy.
- [Brain Baking](https://brainbaking.com/) - an interesting blog about broader engineering culture, retro gaming, and a wide variety of random topics.
- [Grumpy Gamer](https://grumpygamer.com) - Ron Gilbert's (of Monkey Island and Thimbleweed Park fame) personal blog. Unfortunately, Ron writes mostly on Mastodon.
- [Data Gubbe](https://www.datagubbe.se/) - an A/N blog of a fellow nerd. Very rarely corrected.
- [bht](https://bt.ht) - a blog about the internet, Linux, and programming.
- [Dan Wood](https://odysee.com/@danwood:0) - vlog about old and unknown hardware/software. Fascinating stuff!

### Deep nerdiness

- [Fabien Sanglard](https://fabiensanglard.net/) - one of the greatest sites on the Web full of detailed technical explanations of games of the past. The primary inspiration for the look of my blog.
- [Jonathan Blow](https://odysee.com/@jblow:0) - vlog of the creator of Braid and The Witness. Very opionionated stuff.
- [Julia Evans](https://jvns.ca) - perhaps the greatest technical writer for web devs out there outside of thick books.

### Emacs

- [Irreal](https://irreal.org) - daily updates about Emacs and computing since 2011.
- [Sacha Chua](https://sachachua.com) - a weekly summary of Emacs on the Web.
- [Protesilaos Stavrou](https://protesilaos.com) - philosopher turned Emacser.
- [System Crafters](https://systemcrafters.net) - home of the best video tutorials on Emacs.

### BSD

- [Vermaden](https://vermaden.wordpress.com/) - if you want to run FreeBSD as an end-user, Vermaden most likely has a lof answers for you.
- [Garry H. Tech](https://odysee.com/@GaryHTech:0) - general FreeBSD vlogs.
- [Robo Nuggie](https://odysee.com/@RoboNuggie:0) - another general FreeBSD vlogs.

### General *NIX

- [Luke Smith](https://lukesmith.xyz/) - the bad boy of FOSS, the living meme. Some may enjoy his general thoughts (I certainly do!), but the quality of his Linux and Vim tutorials is undeniable.
- [Veronica Explains](https://tilvids.com/c/veronicaexplains_channel/videos) - easy-to-follow tutorials for *NIX newcomers.
- [The Linux Expriment](https://tilvids.com/c/thelinuxexperiment_channel/videos) - the best Linux news vlog out there.
