I’ve got exactly that running on my home network for tech stuff.
I’ve thought of opening it up and even been thinking of building a group of people trustworthy to do the curation of sites, but I generally CBA interacting with people that much, I used to be highly active on forums like Madonion/futuremark, [H], etc, but those days are long behind me and these days, I post a bit on Reddit and talk to my wife and that’s about it.
If things proceed to go to shit as much as it has, I may open it up anyway, mostly because maintaining and re-curating sites is a drag on its own.
The amount of sites that were once great tech spots that then got gulped up by the same ol same ol big tech sites to be turned into generic shit, it’s not that they become uncountable, it’s that it’s almost every single one of them.
The best still seems to be simply posting questions on the few OG computer/tech forums that managed to survive.
For hardware and OS, places like ServeTheHome, [H], Anandtech, Techpowerup, etc.
For programming information, it’s so murky I can’t even suggest any specific sites anymore, not even Stack.
Phone/Tablet info, even XDA is getting murky, mostly because a lot of users there only watch the forum for their specific device, so if yours isn’t one that is used by a lot of people, info gets super limited.

It’s gotten bad out there.
