[The R-Box Podcast](https://www.youtube.com/@ther-boxpodcast8099/) - A bunch of my childhood friends decided to band up and create a podcast while they were living together. This is the result, basically a distillation of our inside jokes and humor in three glorous episodes. Probably only funny to people who know them personally (like me), but who knows?
|
|
[Micaela](https://micae.la) - Met this guy on SKYN3T
|
|
[Skiz](https://schizoid.party/) - Met this guy on Dangerous Minds
|
|
|
|
#### Communities
|
|
~~[SKYN3T](https://skyn3t.in) - I hang out with these guys a lot on Mumble~~ As of 07-09-23 the site is dead.
|
|
[Dangerous Minds](https://www.dangerous-minds.com/) - Effectively where the SKYN3T community moved after the site went down, I spend a lot of time in the Mumble server. The admin is really nice too.
|
|
[Cyberia](https://cyberia.club) - A "hacker collective" I hung out with on Mumble a long time ago back in my "[tech geeker](http://xahlee.info/UnixResource_dir/writ/tech_geeker.html)" days
|
|
[Cock.li](https://cock.li) - My junk email provider, I used to hang out on their mailing list and keep up with their shenanigans
|
|
|
|
#### Personalities I follow
|
|
[Xah Lee](http://xahlee.info) - Aside from the Emacs Lisp manual and C-h f, his website is my main resource for Elisp programming. I also like reading his philosophical blog posts, he has an interesting mix of enjoying free and open source software while criticizing it (which is perfectly ok). He's known for some crazy antics, but his writing is solid for the most part.
|
|
[Richard Stallman](https://stallman.org) - The originator of the Free Software and copyleft movements. His ideas on software are a bit extreme and would not work in the real world, and I disregard most of his opinions on social issues.
|
|
[Vincent Canfield](https://vc.gg) - The administrator of [cock.li](https://cock.li), his blog posts are pretty interesting but he hasn't posted in about 2 years.
|
|
[Se7en](https://se7en-site.neocities.org) - ~~A guy I met on the [cock.li](https://cock.li) mailing list. He has interesting blog posts on pretty much anything but I disregard his more extreme opinions on the Covid vaccine.~~ Looks like he deleted all of his posts, I'm sure they're on archive.org
|
|
[Videogamedunkey](https://youtube.com/videogamedunkey) - One of the only bearable YouTube personalities, his insights on video games highly influenced my own ideas on what constitutes a *good* video game.
|
|
[Ed and Mari](https://web.archive.org/web/20130823160422/http://edandmari.com) - The last archive of edandmari.com, a couple's personal website onto which I stumbled when I was a kid looking for Star Wars lore. These guys inspired a lot of my hobbies, including Star Wars, root beer tasting, amateur restaurant reviewing, and pressed penny collecting.
|
|
[Terry Davis](https://templeos.org) - A schizophrenic programmer who created TempleOS. Unfortunately, [he is now deceased](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH41gGBVpkE).
|
|
[DemiseTheGod](https://www.youtube.com/@DemiseTheGod) - I grew up with this guy, but lost touch with him when I deleted Snapchat years ago. We used to play vidya and basketball. He tried for a while to make it as a pro CoD player and clip editor but that scene died out in the mid to late 2010s as far as I can tell. He's now trying to make it as a Valorant streamer. I'm more enamored with his YouTube videos as he plays old Wii games which is infinitely more interesting than modern competitive shooters.
|
|
|
|
#### Stores
|
|
[Nabee Socks](https://nabeesocks.com) - Sellers of very great compressions socks. My wife - a nurse - says they really help her on the job, which requires her to be on her feet all day.

|
[List of DRM-free games on Steam](https://steam.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games) - A common misconception is that every game on Steam is encumbered with the Steam DRM.

|
|
[Xonotic](https://xonotic.org/) - A fast paced, movement-heavy FOSS arena shooter. I am terrible at the game and often ragequit, but something about it makes me keep coming back.
|
|
[Endless Sky](https://endless-sky.github.io/) - Some would call this a clone of Escape Velocity, but this supersedes the original in pretty much every possible way. A while back, I attempted to code a mod adding in multiplayer but abandoned it, I may pick it up again someday.
