Museums
Interactive, long-form deep dives into the technologies I find worth preserving. Each museum is a self-contained reference with history, interactive tools, and modern-use guides.
CD/DVD Museum
Comprehensive reference for CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray, gold archival discs, and M-DISC. History, capacity charts, DRM/region codes, burner hardware, media quality tiers, and an interactive format finder with sort/filter/pin. Plus a retro-nostalgia section with 55+ modern projects to bring optical media back.
Enter Museum →Phreak Phone Museum
Hacker history meets privacy reference. Phreaking origins, Razr V3 deep dive, US carrier sunsets, IMSI catchers and SS7 attacks, SDR hardware (HackRF/RTL-SDR/YateBTS), OPSEC purchase guide, and an interactive phone finder with 60+ devices. Built for nostalgia collectors and surveillance-resistant buyers alike.
Enter Museum →Tape Museum
Every kind of magnetic tape that ever carried audio, video, or data. Compact cassette, 8-track, reel-to-reel, DAT. VHS, Betamax, MiniDV, Betacam. LTO, DDS, DLT. Format wars, sunset timeline, preservation (vhs-decode, CXADC), deck hierarchy, buyer's intel. Sister exhibit to the CD/DVD Museum — magnetic archaeology instead of optical.
