Custom ECU firmware used to be quite common for racing enthusiasts. It was usually just patching a few tables in a binary though.

I've heard good things about work done by this guy Linus. I'm pretty sure that I've used his work.

I think he comes from a country that borders Russia, so should we be worried?

I've done OSS for decades; mostly by myself, but sometimes, in teams of volunteers.

If anyone has any experience, working in teams of volunteers, it can be ... challenging.

It can definitely work, but not as often as you'd think. If it works, there's usually some "BDFL," or a common goal that has everyone on the same beam. In my case, it was usually the latter.

Do this in time and not only in space, using energy-momentum as the metric and you get Gravity and General Relativity. They are so close and yet they don’t seem to see it.

In the end it’s all about bytes and the meaning you assign them.
