This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Apparently it IS possible to make IC's at home, obviously nothing approaching 5nm transistor gates and therefore the equivalent of lego blocks to precision machined parts... but anyways:

This stuff is half way up my professional alley and when I read it I had to think about the posts on hackaday the last 2 years which kind of document this new homebrew scene made of madmen.

I know absolutely nothing beyond the lego-brick level of building and watercooling machines. No EE chops whatsoever... but this stuff is so interesting to me and maybe one day, cost and space no object, having a palatial garage or workshop to muck around in... Just knowing it's possible really is the half of it.

I was thinking about making some miniature tubes, for audio purposes of course.
