Everything you ever hear a right-winger accuse the left of, you can bet on the fact that the right’s doing it themselves.

Check your spam folder. I don’t know that I’ve ever not received an email I was supposed to have received and found that the spam folder was actually the issue. But it’s still a good idea to check it in case that’s the whole issue.

Hey thank you! I’m glad to hear some interest in it. I’ve definitely got ideas as far as how I’d like to see it improve moving forward (some syntactic sugar, more sophisticated ways of drawing “people”/creatures/skeletons/etc, maybe vector graphics output support – no project is ever really done, you know.) I’m on another project at the moment, but if it got enough interest, I’d probably be inclined to put more work into it.

I don’t have a TTRPG campaign running right now (which is what I wrote it for), so I’m not “eating my own dog food” very much with that particular project. But I would love to do more with it. Only reason I’m not already is because I’ve got so many other projects I want to work on. Heh.

The main project I’m working on lately has been that 3D game assets DSL that I mentioned later in my post. It’s probably quite a bit more ambitious than codecomic (it’s actually Turing complete which definitely adds to the challenge), but I do see a point approaching where it’s feature-complete enough to at least publish an alpha version. It also definitely needs a lot more code comments/documentation before I publish. Probably still months away, but it feels a lot closer than it did last week. Heh.

Anyway, thanks again for the complement!

What kind of problem would require dividing a number of dimensions of space by a number? 🤔 I’m sure there are good examples, but none are coming to me right now. Maybe some fractal geometry things or something?

I heartily approve.

Imagine a poster of Tom Holland, white powder all over his nose, with the slogan “Snort Milk?” in bold across the top.

This whole article is hokey.

But assuming permissive licenses lead copyleft licenses, I think it’s unfortunate.

That’s the joke.

Nobody else immediately thought of this?

Cura’s a fantastic slicer, but kindof a terrible program. They gave up on ARM support a while ago. And their dependency situation is majorly out of control. To the point that Gentoo has literally given up on supporting it and maintaining a working package.

Because fuck you, that’s why.

Remember that scene from Prometheus?

Before I read the body of the post, I was going to recommend “gl;hf” (the only podcast I’ve really listened to in quite a while), but they don’t stay on topic. There is no topic, really. It’s just rambling about whatever comes to them as it comes up.

At the beginning of every episode, they start with “welcome to gl;hf, the world’s first podcast in gaming.” And the running joke is that they rarely talk about gaming at all.

Largely they talk about being prolific career YouTube content creators, but they may delve into random stuff like the U.S. National Cheese Reserve or the ethics of eating lab-grown human meat or Uncle Wiggily board games.

On the plus side, they’re always interested in what they’re talking about.

Here’s my GitLab. None of it’s “active” really. I’m the only contributor to most things I have on GitLab. At least some of the things there, if they started getting attention and interest, I might very likely make them active. But for now, they’re just out there and may or may not receive further updates. Though I’m working on other projects I specifically intend to publish as FOSS in the future.

• Simple-CSS-Shrinker was made for a web-based game I wrote back in the day. I ought to dust that game off and publish it.
• JeSter, the JS tester. A really simple JS unit testing framework that runs in a browser and doesn’t require Node or V8 or anything. Made in service to the same game I mentioned in the previous item.
• pystocking was basically in service of hydrogen_proxy
• hydrogen_proxy is a “scriptable HTTP proxy” written in Python. Definitely intended for privacy kind of applications. But it’s kinda slow. I have in the back of my mind to rewrite it in Go, but it’s not high on my priority list. (I’m honestly mulling the idea of quitting the use of browsers all together if I can wrangle a way to do that that doesn’t involve switching to a bunch of proprietary software. The main browsers are bullshit these days.)
• GoVTT was written because I wanted to play a TTRPG with friends remotely. It’s a web-based virtual tabletop application that you can self-host. I may some day offer hosting for it. (Like, if you want to use it but don’t want to be bothered to go through the hassle of hosting it yourself, maybe I’ll offer to host it for a small fee.) No guarantees, though, except that it’ll always be FOSS and it’ll always be an option to self-host.
• codecomic is a domain-specific language for making simple webcomics or story boards. I made it because I wanted to be able to include webcomics/story boards in my game mastering notes, which are managed with a system that I should also publish as FOSS.

My main side-projects right now that I haven’t published yet are:

• A domain-specific language for building 3d game assets. Roughly speaking, FreeCAD is to OpenSCAD as Blender is to what I’m currently working on building. (It’s in the early stages right now. I intend for it to be able to do modeling, rigging, animations, textures, normals, etc. All in the DSL’s syntax. I’m making progress, but of course that project is ridiculously ambitious. We’ll see where it is in a year.)
• A framework for rapidly prototyping 3d-printable mechanical keyboards. (Also pretty ridiculously ambitious.) The image below is a sneak peak at the first keyboard I’m intending to build with it. Some day.

I don’t remember specifically, but we definitely gave them to a family we knew personally, and I’m sure they weren’t slaughtered or anything.

I used to have chickens in a city when it wasn’t legal. They got reported and we had to rehome them. They were fun, though, and having fresh eggs was always great.
