[sdiy] just when you think DIY spirit is fading out

[Mike Bryant]

One of those looks quite similar to version one of my additive synth, circa 1984.  Died long ago and was binned I think otherwise I'd send it to them.

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.
