👋 Hi, I'm Maciej (adderek)

I am an independent open-source developer, hardware tinkerer, and Linux/PC enthusiast.

I started releasing my projects because I got tired of the direction modern software is taking: expensive licenses, intrusive DRM, black-box binaries, and forced cloud subscriptions. I believe that if you bought your hardware—whether it's a VR headset or a powerful GPU—you should be able to push it to its limits using free, transparent, and open tools.

🚀 What I'm Building & Sharing

My repositories on GitHub (github.com/adderek) are built in my free time to solve real-world hardware and software limitations:

• 🥽 vrdual (Free & Open-Source Flat-to-VR Tool): What started as an experiment in utilizing dual-GPU setups for VR evolved into a full-fledged, open-source alternative to paid, DRM-heavy commercial VR injectors (like VorpX). My goal with vrdual is to let gamers experience non-VR games in virtual reality and experiment with advanced GPU rendering pipelines—completely for free, with no restrictive licensing or hardware lock-ins.
• 🤖 owncoder (Local-First AI Coding Agent): A standalone, security-focused coding agent designed to work with local LLMs. Built with strict execution isolation, it serves as a private, free alternative to commercial cloud-based coding assistants.
• ⚡ GPU Tuning, Local AI & System Utilities: Low-level tools, scripts, and configurations for multi-GPU setups, local AI inference (llama.cpp, vLLM, ROCm/CUDA), and pragmatic utilities in C/C++, Python, Go, and Bash.

☕ Why Support My Work?

Commercial tools in the VR injection or AI space often cost €40+ upfront or require monthly subscriptions, while locking you into restrictive licenses. I want to keep vrdual and owncoder 100% free and open-source forever.

However, low-level graphics programming, testing VR compatibility across different games/headsets, and tuning multi-GPU setups takes a massive amount of personal time and hardware resources.

Your support on Liberapay directly helps me cover: 1. Development time for vrdual: Adding support for more games/engines, improving frame pacing, 3D reconstruction, and multi-GPU performance. 2. Hardware & electricity costs: Running and testing multi-GPU rigs, VR headsets, and local LLM servers. 3. Keeping my software independent: No ads, no telemetry, no DRM, and no paywalls.

If vrdual saved you from buying an expensive commercial license, or if you simply support the idea of open, DRM-free VR and AI tools—thank you for considering a donation! Even the price of a coffee makes a huge difference and keeps me motivated to push new updates.
