yusupov.cloud is a personal domain and virtual private server operated by Belgian technologist Michel Vuijlsteke. The root site hosts a small MediaWiki instance titled “Yusupov’s House,” while additional tools and experiments are deployed on subdomains. The setup is presented as a web-era continuation of the do-it-yourself ethos of Vuijlsteke’s 1990s BBS of the same name.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Overview

The wiki runs on MediaWiki 1.44.0 with PHP 8.3.6 (FPM) and SQLite, using the Vector skin and core extensions for citations and template scripting.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Relation to the BBS

The project name references Vuijlsteke’s single-line BBS (FidoNet 2:291/1925) active between 1990 and 1995. While the VPS is not a BBS, its single-admin, self-maintained hosting reprises the early DIY approach.:contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
