Wow, thanks for link to Paged Out. Any ideas how to discover any more tech focused zines? We have a zine culture in UK but afaik it’s more culture / music focused (v happy to be wrong here)

From yesterday's PO! thread [1] [2]: - https://phrack.org/ - https://tmpout.sh/ - https://www.hugi.scene.org/ - https://lainzine.org/archive - https://inteltechniques.com/magazine.html - https://n-o-d-e.net/zine/ - https://increment.com/issues/ - https://pocorgtfo.hacke.rs/ Not all of them are active though.

Most of my use for my blog posts is linking people to them on IRC and forums. I don't need or want search engine traffic. It's true there's no money or the churning waves of activity associated with that money in blogging anymore. And that's great. Social media siphoned off the profit chasers and all their running in place activity to stay on top of the eternal wave of now in recommendation engines.

What's the state of IRC these days? I've not kept up since the mid 00s and wonder where people have gone now.

IRC doesn't have quite as many people because people have moved to computers that are not capable to keeping TCP connections open (smartphones). But there are good and active communities left in the ~400k people left IRCing.
