Here's a few! While I mostly use the RSS feeds from these sites, I often read the web versions too:

  • Hack a Day, wonderful place to get clued into ground-up explorations of technical topics from the outside
  • BBC News, good for a world perspective that's not fully US-centric but still in English
  • OSNews, Operating System news for nerds like me who get legitimately excited for things like installing plan9 on bare metal
  • Ken Shirrif's Blog, the paragon of long-form teardown & explanation of vintage electronics, deeply insightful, terrifyingly technical but still approachable. Okay, not a daily update, but worth the wait
  • Create Digital Music, solid and considered electronic music instrument news and articles, for us unreformed synthesizer geeks

Thank you for that last one.

unreformed synthesizer geeks

Ken Shirrif's Blog is incredibly great!

Damn you're installing Plan9 on bare metal? That's some balls there.

Tried OpenIndiana as a daily driver yet?

I'll admit I haven't tried any OSes outside a VM in a while, the last was Haiku a while ago. But I am always keeping tabs!

TempleOS made for a wild weekend.
