Lately I keep hearing people talk about "midlife crises," as if they're inevitable checkpoints.
I’m 30 now, and I honestly can’t tell whether I'm going through some kind of crisis myself - or if this is just me trying to adapt to a new reality that changed too fast.
More and more I feel this heavy nostalgia for the old internet. The open web. IRC. Jabber. DC hubs (anyone still remember StrongDC++ or PtokaX?). Private forums. Local networks. Small communities where things felt alive and intentional.
