# About

A free, online-first community for curious, hands-on people who want to build, explore, and push limits - virtually and occasionally in real life.

No physical lab. No fees. Just good people connecting over real projects.

 

# Why I Started This

I wanted partners for real adventures, not watered-down versions:

  • Sailing hard-offshore, challenging conditions, not pub-to-pub cruising (I've build the Sailor Toolbox, a mobile app to foster communication knowledge).

    Location Mayday Beaufort Scale Alphabet Flags Q Code

  • Wild hiking-off-trail, discovering untouched nature, even if it means risking a fine.

  • Building LoRa setups to smash long-distance records (I'm a licensed ham operator).

  • Reverse-engineering and crafting microcontroller-based AIS devices for open-sea testing.

  • Designing a microcomputer from scratch: circuits, assembler/disassembler/debugger/emulator/compiler - and running a self-developed game on it (I've already built an 8008 emulator in Go).

; A clean program to test the subroutine logic.
    LDA #$1A      ; Load 26 into A
    JSR check_gte_10 ; Jump to subroutine

    ; Store the results
    STA $0200     ; Store original value at $0200
    STX $0201     ; Store result at $0201
    HLT           ; End of program

check_gte_10:
    CMP #$0A      ; Compare A with 10
    BCC is_less   ; Branch if A < 10
    LDX #$01      ; A >= 10, set X to 1
    RTS           ; Return

is_less:
    LAI #$00      ; A < 10, set A to 0
    RET           ; Return

I have experience here and knowledge there, I have a few tools too. I have no need to participate in physical hackerspace (thus hacker space, not hackerspace - if a space is missing, it's a typo here). However if there is a reason let's set something up together. But I am more into connecting with right people rather than connecting people with a subscribed space.

If any of this resonates - if you want to collaborate on intense, creative projects without bullshit - join us.
