Welcome to lcamtuf’s thing

Hi there! I write original, in-depth articles about geek culture, electronic circuit theory, history of everyday items, photography, wacky algorithms, tree felling, and more.

I can’t promise you a fixed set of topics, but I do my best to bring the readers well-researched, non-regurgitated, and clickbait-free content that appeals to their inner geek. To review a thematic index of past articles, click here.

If you like what you see, please subscribe. It is increasingly difficult to reach readers via algorithmic social media or via search engines overrun by generative AI; on Twitter / X, my typical post is shown to less than 5% of my subscribers and has a <0.2% clickthrough rate. Substack doesn’t spam you and isn’t a doom-scrolling hell; it’s just a good way to stay in touch with the writers you like.

All the content here is written by a human without the aid of large language models. The text, images, and videos posted on this site are not licensed for use in ML training or ML content generation.
