Welcome to starbreaker.org
Iâm Matthew Cambion, the Jungian shadow of a GenX techie from New York. Since i only exist in the Wired, my name is a pseudonym. Iâm a metalhead, a novelist who is out of print, a full-stack thaumaturge, and the operator of starbreaker.org.
This website is my grimoire, a monument to my ego, my personal digital samizdat, and a sacrament of defiance. It is a ritual space for a Left-Hand Path sysadmin. If you are used to the mainstream, gentrified internet you might want to put aside your expectations lest I delight in trampling them.
If you like what Iâm doing, keep your money. I would rather you emailed me after youâve built your own website. You deserve better than social media. A personal website may be the one place where you can be wholly sovereign.
Where to Start?
starbreaker.org is big, and not specialized for any particular niche. If you need a starting point because you had not been brought here by a link from another website or a search engine result page, allow me to suggest one of the following:
- Check out the monthly digest for July 2026.
- Check out fiction by Matthew Cambion.
- Check out the site map and main menu.
How to follow Matthew Cambion?
Since I donât do social media, you cannot actually follow me online. You can still subscribe to get updates to starbreaker.org as they become available using web feeds. The following are site-wide feeds:
- starbreaker.org: everything: a full-text Atom feed (happy overdose!)
- starbreaker.org: everything (headlines-only): a smaller, mobile-friendly Atom feed
I also provide topic-based feeds; you can find them on their respective index pages. All of my feeds are readable in your browser without additional software, but you can also add them to the feed reader app of your choice.
Read starbreaker.org offline
If you want to read starbreaker.org without an internet connection, I periodically upload an archive of the websiteâs current state to starbreaker-dot-org.tar.xz.
BSD, GNU/Linux, and macOS users can download this and extract it with tar -xJf.
Windows users should install a current version of 7zip.
If the archive is too stale, and youâre familiar with git, you can clone the site repository and build it with make.
