That's right, 2 years after giving up on creating my own blog, I've decided to make a comeback. You're probably wondering why I'm coming back now. Well, there's a few reasons.
FUCK THE NEW WEB
What has been pushing me over the edge was Discord announcing verification for everyone. So I cancelled my Nitro, and I'm hoping they'll roll back, but I'm pretty damn sure I'll have to move to a new platform. Oh well. But to that end, I want to find different communities. I grew up in the late 2000's, when Internet was kinda ubiquitous but also kinda new, parents told you to not put your name on the internet. I still remember begging my parents for months to buy an addon plane for FSX that was only purchaseable online, but they didn't want to put their bank info on a website. Anyways, those were the good old days, and I miss it. Which brings me to the next point, the web revival project.

THE WEB REVIVAL PROJECT
See, I've known that webrings still exist for a while. In fact I stumbled on these a few years ago when I saw a Reddit post about someone finding an unsecured Jenkins server that belong to an airline and contained crap tons of data that should very much not have been public. So I decided to make my blog, briefly started one, then never continued. GG. But then I stumbled on this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkUgOT22F5s So now, it's time to go back down this rabbit hole.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Well, I'll have to keep working on this website. A lot of stuff is missing. Links to cool blogs, projects, etc... so that's how I'm going to spend my weekend. Hopefully I'll make some friends here :) There'll be a way to contact me at some point hehe
