What is Paged Out!?

Paged Out! is a free experimental (one article == one page) technical magazine about programming (especially programming tricks!), hacking, security hacking, retro computers, modern computers, electronics, demoscene, and other similar topics.

It's made by the community for the community. And it's not-for-profit (though in time, we hope it will be self-sustainable) - this means that the issues will always be free to download, share, and print. If you're interested in more details, check our our FAQ and About pages!

Cover image of Paged Out! issue 7 depicting three astronauts working on a technical looking building-size structure on what appears to be either a very large space station or a base on a planet with no atmosphere. On top left there is the magazine's logo - an icon of an old computer and text saying Paged Out! in capital letters.
