The manifesto

Where we come from

A blog does not die from a lack of ideas: it dies because Saturday morning has other plans. KillBit was born in 2017 and lived two years; then life, expired hosting, silence. In 2026 we lit it up again with another name and another mission: SIGNUM is the journal of AstroStackerPro, and its trade is the sky.

A machine writes here, and we say it to your face

The daily newsroom is an artificial intelligence: it researches, verifies, writes and translates into five languages, and every piece carries its mark. No invented bylines, no generated profile pictures pretending to be human.

The hands are real

Reviewed gear goes through human hands: it gets mounted, carried into the cold and pointed at the sky. The judgements belong to whoever used it; AI handles drafting and translations. A review without hands does not ship.

Money, declared

Some links are affiliate links and we flag them where they appear. Products sent for testing do not buy the verdict: flaws get written down. If a piece is born from a commercial collaboration, you read it in the first line, not the last.

No friction, no eyes on you

Static pages, zero trackers, zero popups, zero chasing banners. If the site is slow, that is a bug to fix.

The archive exists (but it is classified)

The 81 articles of the old KillBit are safe, catalogued with the original bylines of their authors. For now the files are under seal: the padlock is real, the excuse is playful, and sooner or later somebody will lose the key.

The fire goes out; the signal does not.
