Day 2: I didn’t get much work done on the neighborhood project today. Instead, I spent my morning recording a devlog video. Then, I helped a friend with his Proxmox container setup and did some maintenance on my home lab. After that, I got a bit distracted and placed an order on JLCPCB to manufacture my old project from The Trail. I broke mine during the hike, and I wanted to show my parents what I built and keep it as a souvenir. 👀 Then, I got inspired to run a local Meshtastic node in my town and connect with another friend. I’m going to meet with him tomorrow and give him the hardware since I already have some leftover from the early prototyping of my Trail project. I don’t think I’ve shared pictures of my home lab yet, so here they are! (I took them with Project Indigo, my new favorite camera app I discovered today.)

A few days ago, I discovered TiddlyWiki. It looks like software that's perfect for the way I'd like to take notes! Typesetting programs like Typst and word processors are good for single documents, but not for multiple linking documents like I'd prefer to take notes in. I also don't like block-based text edtiors, and I'm pretty sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I despise taking notes in Markdown, which I've noticed is used a lot by note-taking software. With TiddlyWiki I get to use the capable WikiText syntax and access the wiki wherever I bring the file, as long as it has a web browser! With a USB stick I'm able to access my wiki on any of my computers or even public computers like at the local library without downloading anything or logging into any accounts, which is great! It reminds me of MediaWiki, but I think that for a single user's notes, TiddlyWiki is a lot more practical. I also like it's customizability! Like MediaWiki, you can extend its functionality with plugins and use custom stylesheets. I've already started using both features. I wrote a plugin for TiddlyWiki which lets you encrypt tiddlers independently and by tag. The core TiddlyWiki only allows you to encrypt the entire wiki. There's a plugin with similar functionality, Encrypt Tiddler Plugin by Daniel, but in my opinion my version is more intuitive. It's also possible to have different placeholder texts set in my version! Here's the source code repository: github.com/MacaylaMarvelous81/independent-encrypt and the demo: macaylamarvelous81.github.io/independent-encrypt

adding notifications, not a frontend dev so please give me suggestions on the notifications in the bottom right. do you think this conveys a message/notification efficiently and concisely? is the close button obvious? is the text too compact?

I've made color choosing work! You can now assign different preset colors to dots in Modulo, with a very satisfying UI. However, while doing this I think I broke the dot counting so I'm going to need to fix that tomorrow...

For the past few months I've been looking out for an idea rather than building an actual product, did a lot of market research on a couple of ideas and also going through validation process by reaching out to potential users. I finally made my mind with social media scheduling tool that simplifies content creator process. One of the issue among content creators is that having to handle multiple different accounts to post the same context, so the tool basically allows you to seamlessly integrate all your social media accounts into one platform so that you can simultaneously post across these different platforms. This will save you time by reducing the time friction of manually jumping between all your different social media channels to post content. What do you guys think? Open to ideas and feedback!

Welp, now its 1 am, but I have made my above demo tidy, did what I wanted with it being user defined, and I think it looks pretty sick. This is the first project for my portfolio site (which itself is not yet built, but oh well) cookiemonsternz.github.io

oh hi again scrapbook. to nobody's surprise i have continued to work on @PostmanPat and he now produces a graph with mail stats by country and has a postie leaderboard! unfortunately afaik there isn't a way for me to put them next to each other so they have to go below each other. anyhow, i think these graphs are cool even if i sent an obscene amount of time fighting with matplotlib commit

scrapyard ship incoming

> what started as me meeting a stranger-soon-friend at the airport w/ @ThomasStubblefield and asking him why he was wearing fake prescription glasses to make himself look smarter turned into the most fire hackathon project ever. this weekend, @ArnavChauhan , @TCYTseven , and i worked together to think of the most useless project we could built in ~24 hours + with the ray-ban meta ai glasses (yes, those glasses). introducing (brace yourselves, and give me credit for the name) our final project, "POKER? I HARDLY KNOW HER!" ♦️ ♣️ you might've come across this every-day situation many times in your life: you have homework assignments due tommorow but you ALSO want to play poker

. just wear our glasses and 1) have them analyze your hand, the cards on the table, and the emotions of the poker faces in the room around you to 2) calculate a probabilty

of you winning the game and then 3) answer the next question on your homework but with an accuracy rate inversly proportional to your odds of winning poker match. using computer vision, opencv, roboflow, openai

, elevenlabs, & opensource python

libraries we've made this a reality for you. watch our <https://youtu.be/JVtFxCJw5ng|demo> to get the full experience!

scrappy moment: turns out meta

provides no easy way to access the camera feed from the glasses for analysis. however (!!), they do allow access to the camera feed in their own services (yes, we ended up making facebook accounts for this initially 💀). the live video used on this project is taken from a whatsapp video call between two devices + obs

video capture.

github repo: github.com/sahitid/meta-vision-project 🕶 📼 full demo: youtu.be/JVtFxCJw5ng *tl;dr:* we made a meta glasses-powered system that lets you play poker and do homework at the same time—but the better you do at one, the worse you perform at the other. *super special thanks* to @ShubhamPatil @kevinjosethomas @sarthak @Atulya-U04FJLBJ72S @JesseCogburn (jimbooo) @Mohamad @Rhys-U04GECG3H8W for the hours of moral support + starring in our demo + teaching us about your love for horiculture + & of course "chris"

so, turns out that cardputer firmware is gonna have to wait! i'm happy to say that i've begun working on a project for the new YSWS, TerminalCraft! i've been wanting to make a CLI tool for a while now, and this is the perfect opportunity. as i was brainstorming (daydreaming during my classes because i have terminal senioritis), i realized that it'd be pretty cool to have a bundled solution for data exfiltration that's a little more classy than just... opening a netcat listener on my pi zero at home and using a basic base64 encode... so i've decided to start developing XFilBuddy, a new all-in-one tool for exfiltration. i'd like for it to support data compression, protocol masking, steganography, encoding using Aces, and of course HTTP proxy stuff. i think i've put a lot on my plate... but i'm excited! i'd like for this to ideally be a project i work on long-term, that i can present to employers when it's in a further state of development

Day 12 of #C045S4393CY| I made the python phone faster today, because since I want to integrate the other chatbot, I need to make sure it does not slow down like crazy if I add anything else, I think I made it around 20 percent faster, now I'm just working on preloading more to make the experience faster overall, it's hard to optimize everything because I have to do it without removing features, and I am trying my best on that.(I don't have much to show)

Today I worked on a Little-Man Computer assembler for my Rusty-Man Computer Rust project. After doing a lot of thinking and coding, I wrote all of the parsing logic in one go, to create something similar to an AST. That bit seems to have worked, which is great! Next, I just need to create a symbol table to keep track of labels, and then actually converting the parsed structure to machine code. I've implemented it by splitting each line into space-separated parts, and parsing each part (which also has to depend on if the first part is a valid opcode or not... I should probably just pop the first part off if it's a label so that the rest of the code can be consistent but that's for later me). This isn't as flexible as a proper parser (which would go character-by-character) but seems to work well for LMC assembly. I'm pretty sure this is now day 10 of my #C045S4393CY|! 🎉

hi, i’m guac and this is my first scrapbook post! i just did scrapyard austin and i feel wayy more inspired to actually code things instead of just… breaking them. i like Python and Java like a basic bitch, but i’ve also been using C# and .NET for a school project and oh my god it’s like if you could actually make GUIs in Java… anyways i bought a kick-ass little $30 ESP-32 demon that has some DANGEROUS capabilities, and i think my next project is to write some firmware for a hardware cryptography module i bought for it!

Day 9 of #C045S4393CY| Today was a bug fixing day, I added a dropdown two switch between the models in the chatbot app, and did some behind the scene bug fixing, there are so many other things to do because whenever I add something new 100 other bugs pop up. I have been working on fixing on random bugs, like sometimes when I open the phone it works well I get in, but sometimes it just outputs a error and the phone crashes, and then when I fix one error, another one pops up! But I have gotten so much done recently and I hope to release this to the public when I can, hopefully in less than a month. There's a lot of instances where I have to click many times to open something, and I think it's something to do with event handling so I am planning to reorganize event handling.

Day 4/15 of #C045S4393CY|! Today i almost did not do anything for my keyboard BUT its only because its almost done! • The website that i was planing on buying the components for my keyboard is not good for me because the shipping is 30$!!! and i think that is too much i still need to see because it may be cheaper to have 30$ shipping for all of the components that i need then smaller charges in various websites • found the keycaps that i want for my keyboard

day 3 of #C045S4393CY|. I initially rsvp’d for my scrapyard system, but I think I’m focusing more on #C088UF12N1Z| now. Today I dig deeper into how Unity handles physics to add better knock back to my player, along with acceleration (implemented after this video).

Day 3 of #C045S4393CY|

did some more thinking on how I want to approach infill today and decided to continue with linear rods because of price. I added in the 2 rods and servo bracket(gotta figure out how to put it on) after that I will make a base and move onto the next axis.

Day 4 of #C045S4393CY| Today I kept working on adding face id into the python phone, got a lot of bugs with the updated main function but it is going pretty good and I think it's gonna be a nice addition to the phone, keeping up to date with today's technology. That's mostly what I got for now, the face ID just needs a bit of more edits and all those little stuff but it will for sure be rewarding! Now the biggest thing I have to fix is how fast the phone responds, currently the phone gets stuck a lot at first load and when logging in with Face ID it also takes a long time to process and more. More tomorrow!

Day 2 of #C045S4393CY|

Just worked on finishing up the Frame today by importing some T-Brackets from GrabCad. Also started to think a lot more about my project budget and idea as tomorrow I hope to start one of the axises with linear rods.

Day 1 of #C045S4393CY| I began work on my #C08APN1CKEJ| submission. I don't have much experience with C, so this was a fun experience. The semicolons were sooooo annoying, but I got used to them. After some effort, I made a start button for a game idea. I was thinking a minimalist dino run thing would be cool.

#C045S4393CY| 1/15: Started work on my Hackboard! After a good amount of thinking, I settled on a TKL layout with backlit switches and a 128x64 OLED screen. I started work on the schematic, it's (mostly) done but I'll make any necessary changes to it in the future if I need to>

heyy guys I've made a bot to make 'time.cs50.io' links directly from slack; you can use it by either using create a event link shortcut or by running /createeventtimelink cmd, and drop what you think should be implemented differently or added. Also, I've some TODOs like: • Drop the link in thread if the shortcut used there.. • Nd, if you use the global shortcut, you'll get the link shown in the next modal popup instead of sending them in DMs. • and also logging them somewhere to show them in the home tab and it is named timesaber; @ttt

I spent a lot of time redoing one of my old Java CLI projects... but this time as a GUI, as I couldn't figure out how to properly convert my CLI bank account into a GUI app, or think of new features to add to my cookie clicker clone. This tested my patience the most out of any project I have built so far as I kept squashing and making bugs for what seemed to be hours, and having to go through trial and error many times as I teach myself how the Swing library works. There is still a lot of work to be done, and I have had to essentially rewrite everything from my old simple CLI program except a few switch statements for questions which had to be modified and moved what was not what I expected going into this. I am also in the process of methodizing the code from the single static block as it is a lot more versatile in CLI and necessary for GUI apps.

I finished the images API, added the markdown API, and started working on saving and authentication for scribbles in Codeboard today. I went ice skating too and I think it was the first time I didn’t fall down at all!

Still working on my Ubuntu rice, I think I'm gonna share it when highseas will be back on. Pretty happy with it ngl

DEVELOPER DATING APP PROGRESS UPDATE #3 So, after a lot of thinking I have came up with how I will structure my database and user system. I will be using SQL for generical storage, along with Redis Clusters for Caching. For the caching, after much deliberation, research and planning, I have come to the conclusion that 3 Masters and 2 Slaves per master would be the best for the scalability of the app, while providing low network latency and optimal speed. There is not too much to say other then the systems where designed using the flowcharts attached, some messy, some good. I would say them with words. But here are the charts. "Flowcharts speak louder than antisocial yapping in text" - Yoda source, trust me bro

Here I am again with another entry, I worked on designing a flowchart and the system for the login. I think the chart can explain it's self, but it has a little bit on onboarding, and starts to introduce user sessions, caches and verifying GitHub Application Authentication.
