It wasn't exactly easy to find Phrack in 1992, but I found my way there. I haven't seen an archive of it online in many years. Love seeing this online now, especially with a new issue published! I'm looking forward to reading the recent ones.

This hits so hard, especially for someone who saw the Internet becoming this awesome, huge open library that everyone can access and contribute and then witnessing it being paywalled, drowned with ads and slop, monetized to oblivion, sometimes straight up disappear. It's heartbreaking.
Early internet seems like a much less sanitized place.
at the same time, (some of) the awesome people are still here, and they're still doing amazing stuff :)
