Big fan of https://n-o-d-e.net Lots of unique content to the DIY, maker, hacker community. I also have a much much longer list that is always growing on my own blog, under "Blogs (Independent)": https://l-o-o-s-e-d.net/bookmarks Obviously I was influenced by NODE's hyphenated domain. It's been a fun SEO challenge haha

Anybody remember the URL of that one psychiatrist blog? Paraphrasing a quote from there: "No, I can't be narcissistic, I hate myself too much! In fact, I spend all day looking in the mirror and thinking about how much I hate myself."

Cory Doctorow's

https://pluralistic.net/

He's a pro-tech (anti-industry) left-wing futurist and science fiction author. I read him to get out of my filter bubble.

Luke Smith has some interesting ideas about free software and his Linux/Vim tutorials are very good. However, he's someone who harbors a lot of racist and hateful views. Don't believe me? Watch his livestreams.

His recent crusade to get many people on Monero likely stems from him getting busted[1] for accepting a $30,000 donation in Bitcoin from a French white nationalist who donated[2] $500,000 in Bitcoin earl to far-right groups last year, some of whom were directly involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
