yusupov.cloud is a personal domain and virtual private server operated by Belgian technologist Michel Vuijlsteke. It hosts multiple small web applications on subdomains and at the apex domain. One of these is a MediaWiki installation titled “Yusupov’s House.” 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

Among the projects on the domain is a MediaWiki (at the apex, yusupov.cloud) running 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]
  • digest.yusupov.cloud — Digest, daily seasonal AI-assisted recipes inspired by current events, browsable by meal type and ingredients.[4]
  • 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.)[5]
  • 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.)[6]
  • 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.)

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

  • skills.yusupov.cloud — a skills matrix application. (Per operator.)
  • resources.yusupov.cloud — a simple resource plannign calendar. (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][7]
