Hobbies

If it involves some form of enthusiast technology development, you can count on me to be caught up on it. To this end, I like to be inside of devices and understand their history and capabilities, so that I can eventually take advantage of them for myself. This isn't just limited to repairs, but also software and firmware architectural design as well.

I've been closely tracking the homebrew micro-scene since the Nintendo 3DS, around 2015 or so. This initially sprung my interests in the software side of things, given that the documentation of the 3DS console's system vulnerabilities showcases how security research can more simply be viewed as a puzzle. For example, how the microkernel design of the 3DS's operating system necessitates the capture of more vulnerable services in order to trigger an attack on the overarching system kernel.

I want to eventually have a sort of Internet presence with the projects behind my many domains. I also essentially am a data hoarder and like to collect game consoles and technology.

As for what I spent my time doing, I generally try to maintain my websites, my various projects, parts of the Nintendo Homebrew community, some light gaming, and hardware research or repair. I'm also supposed to be developing a video game project that's been suspended since 2019.

There's also my ongoing obsession with music, for better or worse...
