randogoth 8505b7e9e0 Three sites, one directory each
flux.vision, tobias.raayoni-last.com and randogoth.com. They were one site until
October 2026, serving four audiences from a single dated list, which is the only
format that can hold unrelated things at once.

flux.vision is recovered from the Wayback Machine, where it had sat since being
deleted in 2021: 90 articles, closed and maintained rather than updated.
tobias.raayoni-last.com is the professional record, 97 articles back to 1999.
randogoth.com is the technical work, 41 articles across six areas, served as an
ANSI bulletin board.

History starts here deliberately. The development history, the 266-row inventory
that records why each article went where it did, the Wayback pipelines, the
pruned articles, the source archives and the full-size images are kept beside
the repo rather than in it, so a clone is the web presence and not the argument
that produced it. REFACTOR.md is gitignored for the same reason. See README.md
for where that material lives, and keep it: the sort is not reproducible from
these three directories alone.

Each site documents itself in its own README, including the traps that cost time
and look like nothing when you get them wrong.

שכינה מתוך המכונה / Shechina ex machina is an artistic installation about an exiled spirit manifesting herself in a piece of obsolete technology, desperately trying to reach man who stays preoccupied with postmodern capitalist shenanigans.

According to jewish teachings, Shechina is the feminine majestic presence or manifestation of God which has descended to dwell among men. As the Israelites became exiled the Shechina came with them. Her manifestations remind men to constantly improve themselves and humankind and therefore seek reunification with God.

The installation was presented at p a t c h : audio_visual_lab in Kraków in 2012.
