Where should I ask OG Apple nerd questions - ie Kext/Terminal/tinkering

Where should I ask questions about advanced topics like disabling SIP, Kernel/Kext, bypassing T2, command line tools, network security or any type of low level system interaction.


I was thinking of going to the developer side for this stuff. But I'm not a developer and not even IT. I just like to customize within the parameters of the system. Carefully. And within warranty. The topics I mention are just examples. But at the end of the day I'm an OG user starting back with Apple II. A lot of it is just liking to tinker with my Mac, explore old and Silicon OS tricks, and do deep dives into my computers and other Apple devices.


Most of my stuff will be high level stuff anyway. But maybe there is a forum for enthusiasts or OGs that I'm missing. And it could be in non Apple forums. I do understand Apple is putting in T2 and moving off kernel/kext usage into high level extensions specifically because they are trying to get away from techie stuff. And instead move more into an iPhone/services only model. If this means this type of thing should be off anything Apple official I'm open to recommendations of 3rd party forums.
