While reading some blog update I have clicked one link too far and saw this:

https://www.homebrewcpuring.org/

There's nearly 80 websites devoted to CPUs home built from anything but 
CPU chip. Behind every website there's a sick person, who came up with 
crazy idea of making a computer with TTL chips, transistors, or relays.
If you don't know yet what to do with the rest of your life, this is 
cool hobby that will take all your time and money.
Even browsing all those websites might take weeks. Some of them provide 
all the info so you can build it yourself.

Just when I thought rarely anyone does bare bones DIY anymore, because 
there's so much of arduino or internet copy/paste or aliexpress, I found 
this.
It's like 2nd level of geekyness. They are the ones called "weirdo" at 
geeks convention. Love it.
