Electronics is not an affordable hobby in the EU now

It seems that there's hardly a single tech-based hobby that isn't being destroyed by idiotic bureaucrats these days.

As a kid, I used to get almost all the parts for my electronic projects from discarded ewaste. Even at the age of 10, the corner of my bedroom was dominated by a pile of old radios and amplifiers which were a valuable source of resistors, capacitors, valves, transistors and the other components that I used in my own experiments.

If I needed specific components that weren't found in my junk pile, there was a local electronics repair shop that would sell me specific bits and pieces in exchange for a handful of coins.

Life was good.

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
