https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/

For screenshots, videos and written notes on everything that happened in these last releases, check out the rich release pages for 1.0 (https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/1.0.0/) and its equally feature-packed predecessors at https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/changes/

These major developments in 2025 were made possible through a project grant from https://netidee.at, an open source funding programme by the austrian https://www.internetstiftung.at/ – thank you so much for supporting this work and enabling tools that benefit independent artists, communities and organisations worldwide!

I would also like to say a huge thank you to all of you out there already running your own Hyper 8 sites, testing, reporting, contributing, donating, giving feedback and being just all-out positive and supportive on this journey, it really means a lot to me and makes a big difference!

For this latest release, special shout-out to @branpos, @arnauld, @evilpeacock, @lminiero & @jpburstrom for helping out on these last meters!

1.0 is now out for all platforms and is accompanied by a new, video-augmented tutorial, completely overhauled documentation and more available packages than ever – Enjoy!

I feel most people know the Netherlands is mostly below sea level and there are some dikes to keep the water out, but I'm not sure if people appreciate just how far it goes.

Like... they've turned a sea into a lake. They've reclaimed so much land an entirely new province was formed.

This is pretty bonkers stuff really when you think about it!

so what if double hi-res Apple II Peasant's Quest were a thing?

I'm just messing around here, doing the game in dhgr would take up twice as much RAM/disk and be 100x more difficult to program.

One of the earliest sign I knew AI chatbots was going to be horrible for mental health was actually from my lived experience of using speech-to-text transcription.

Context: I am deaf, and I was born that way, and I grew up with hearing aids and got my cochlear when I turned 15. The cochlear, by itself, improved my speech accuracy to 75% from 25% with dual hearing aids.

During the pandemic, my speech comprehension skills worsened due to fundamentally lossy audio quality over Zoom.

“The totally cool way to run and network your computer” sounds just as stupid as it did when I first got these boxes. I paid $2 for them at a HAM radio convention 11 years ago and they’ve just been sitting sealed ever since. Got them out of storage today and I think I’ll open them. (Thread time.)

That makes sense.
