Funny that the first post sticks out from the rest (a digital project vs. the physical ones). Notably it's more 3x3 a lot of the time. I wonder if the creator also felt like they had to make use of all the 3 pixels of horizontal space for some of these characters. The lowercase "l" is what I'd be using for a "1", with my lowercase "l" being 2 pixels wide, for instance.

Nice site. It reminds me of the Primitive Technology channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA

I love this! Is there a larger technologist wiki from which you can learn the principles of how to actually build everything from raw materials and generic tools?

Examples: casting iron, making blades, making paint, making plastics, making printer ink, making pharmaceuticals that actually work, etc.

It really seems that at this stage in the game we should be able to form "off-grid" villages that actually have a pretty good standard of living. Or is that all forbidden knowledge in this stage of our technological enslavation? ;)

This is like the Open Source Ecology project but for computing hardware.

Not a single condensed source, but there's an abundance of this type of content on Youtube, from both hobbyists and professionals.

I'm curious; why do you feel HTML tables are bad?
