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.[1]

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.[2]

Subdomains and projects

Publicly visible projects include:

  • agenda.yusupov.cloud — A Life in Planners, a structured journal chronicling the final years of the operator’s mother, with calendar, food, medications, measurements, and statistics views (multilingual UI).[3][4]
  • digest.yusupov.cloud — Digest, daily seasonal AI-assisted recipes inspired by current events, browsable by meal type and ingredients.[5][6][7]
  • acbc.yusupov.cloud — A Cabinet of Brief Curiosities, generating tiny three-sentence surreal/horror micro-stories with an hourly cadence and an archive. (Built with Flask per operator.)[8][9]
  • quidlibet.yusupov.cloud — Quidlibet, an app that generates fictional books complete with synopsis, author bio, and faux reviews; includes genre and author archives. (Built with Flask per operator.)[10][11][12]

Operator-reported (not publicly discoverable at time of writing):

  • skills.yusupov.cloud — a skills matrix application. (Per operator.)
  • tyov-web.yusupov.cloud — a web implementation of the solo RPG Thousand Year Old Vampire, with Django 5 backend and Vue 3 frontend. (Per operator.)

Technology

The wiki stack is documented on Special:Version. Individual apps are described by the operator as Flask (acbc, quidlibet) and Django 5 + Vue 3 (tyov-web).[2]

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.[1][13]
