techmoan is great for retrotech. also in the same vein, but more focused on retro compute is 8-Bit Guy, and then for just retrotech of all sorts, Technology Connections has to be one of the most well-researched and entertainingly presented

I find it interesting that, with ~63k entries, they didn't just use a bloom filter to do a lookup on if the entity they're working with has already been seen. granted, they stoll need to store the data, but I think a bloom filter
