I’m curious what kind of project you are working on? I’m working on a procedural terrain generation open world game! Now it’s your turn to tell me!

    A set of scripts that download Chaturbate videos, also keep track of what’s currently downloading, give a history of what’s been downloaded, and automate recompressing to HEVC.

    I’m workshopping ideas for a new GUI for it, but don’t know where it’s safe to ask NSFW programming questions.

    Trying to write a solver for Fortune’s Foundation tarot solitaire in Python

    Something tells me I’m going to abandon it not even halfway in, like most “projects” I do

      I get the feeling when you abandon all of your projects. It’s cool to come across another Python dev nowadays since everybody(including me) has moved on to game engines such as unity. But when I still made my games in python it was pretty fun, but the glamour of 3D developing pulled me to the mighty Unity. Python is amazing and fun language!

    As always, I do image processing. I’m a G’MIC filter developer. Recently, did some code changes to my combinatorics tools to be insensitive to multi-threaded strategy.

    I’m learning the ropes of concepts like JWT, postgres, axum and webdev in general by building a federated forum. I’ll probably never finish it but i’ve learned a lot of good stuff from it, but i’m still working on the user implementation, authentication and creations galore. (in rust, too.)

    Sadly i work very slowly, and i’ve been working (passively) for two months and i’m not even done with the user stuff lol. At this rate i’ll be finished in 6 years xd

    I also just need an excuse to read the AP spec and learn HTML/CSS somewhat :p

    I’m attempting to teach myself full stack web dev using my preferred tooling (Purescript front end using Deku and Hyrule for modernized FRP, Haskell Servant back end talking to a PostgreSQL server with Nix flakes gluing at all together) by building a web app for managing cannabis dispensary inventory.

    Lately, I’m finally at the point where I realize/experiment with making the app domain-agnostic. To do that, I’m attempting to extend lambdabuffers to programmatically generate my Types (and instances eventually) so I can make my whole app (front end Types, back end Types, and SQL schema) more generic in order to generate exactly the domain specific app that I currently have.

    Here’s the lambdabuffer I wrote to describe my Types (for example): https://github.com/harryprayiv/cheeblr/blob/delete/backend/codegen/Inventory.lbf

    And here’s my most active branch at the moment: https://github.com/harryprayiv/cheeblr/tree/delete

    I also stopped working on a previous, ambitious project aimed at building a decentralized fantasy betting baseball DApp until some of the tech I’m waiting on (crypto oracles) matures enough: https://github.com/cardanonix/pelotero-engine

    I welcome any and all critiques and assistance in either of these 100% FOSS projects.

      That sounds really cool! I’ve thought about learning to code web apps in JS so I could make my own website but for now itch io and steam are just good for me! Good luck on your project!

        Thanks! It’s funny because I’ve chosen the absolute most obscure languages and frameworks (other than postgresql). I’m seeing zero jobs available out there for them…but I just can’t bring myself to learn JS, Rust, or any other popular tech stack over Haskell and Purescript…and I’d hate to work in any other stack, TBH.

        I’m basically unemployable but happy! ;)

          Jia Tan was the username used by a group — probably a state intelligence agency — on GitHub to try to attack the xz open source package. The effort aimed at trying to take over the project, and lasted for years. They managed to get a compromised package briefly into the unstable versions of some major Linux distros that created a backdoor in the openssh daemon and came close to being widely deployed across Linux servers, which would have been a very severe compromise of a huge range of systems. The account vanished when the compromise was discovered.

          The user here is, as a joke, using the same name.

          When they said they were “working on the next big thing in linux”, the tip and the username they have, i thought:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor

          In February 2024, a malicious backdoor was introduced to the Linux build of the xz utility within the liblzma library in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 by an account using the name “Jia Tan”.
