- Memory: Supermemo, Decaying Curve, Tricks, Algorithms: Including Ankis, Supermemos and more.
- Programming Languages: Any kind. I like interesting stuff such as Zig, Elixir, Lisp and HTML(yes I said it).
Not really weird anymore as there's a lot of entry level and cloud-based components for people to get into it with. My scene is the localized automation scene; basically home automation but with no cloud connected products.
What’s your favorite home automation? I like the idea but can’t think of / find anything that really excites me.
I tend to chain my home automation projects.
I run a 22yo online competition for a 32yo DOS racing game: Stunts, or 4D Sports Driving in some countries. The competition has spawned a long-lived community which includes reverse engineering, game patches, new cars, alternative engines, a few world meetings, and multiple other competitions. - https://zak.stunts.hu - https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Custom_cars - https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?board=90.0&label=stunts…
Are you the Péter Ács referenced in the article, aka Zak Mckraken? Because both Stunts and "Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders" were my favourite games as a kid, and they're pretty much unknown to this day. The Mars face, the aliens with the long head at the telco, the kazoo, all etched deeply in my memory. I love the fact that there is someone that has played and loved the two same niche DOS games as myself :)
It involved decompiling the app. Adding miui framework dependencies. Patching stuff, where adding dependencies was adding bloat. Removing analytics. Also unlocking device restricted functionalities. We were able to provide latest functionalities on older devices.
It started when I installed an AOSP rom on Xiaomi's OG Pocophone F1. And discovered that no Camera app was able to use the full hardware capabilities of the phone with AOSP rom.
At the projects peak we were able to support 15+ devices.
It also worked on non-xiaomi devices.
One weird thing was it wasn't organized on XDA but on telegram.

Meh. Urbit. That's not a weird technical scene, that's a lightning-rod for arguments about code of conduct at conferences and whether you're a fan of Bergson / Popper-esque Open Societies [cf. "The Open Society and Its Enemies" and "The Two Sources of Morality and Religion" vs. J. S. Mill "On Liberty"]
> that's a lightning-rod for argument Then you must be the lightning itself, creating an account to ionise and electrically charge the thread I guess.

Sometimes the world doesn't revolve around you.
