This past few weeks, Python 3.13 and the possibility to disable the GIL has seen a lot of coverage and that pushed me to dig into my own language, to see how different our approaches are. So if you’re curious about the rambling of a pldev, that might be for you!

GitHub SuperFola • 3 weeks ago • 100%

I thought you guys might enjoy it: I have a website that I push to frequently on GitHub, and some GitHub actions that update it periodically by pulling code and generating docs from it. I needed to connect to my vps often and update the website which was cumbersome. Well a solution is to use webhooks on push events and have a server listening to those events to then update said websites for me.

I had some fun trying to check if a hash (more like a transformation really) was collision free, so I wrote a quick piece code and then iterated on it so that it was usable. I might add a quick bench and graphs and try to push it even further just for fun, to explore std::future a bit more (though the shared bit set might be a problem unless you put a shared condition variable on it to allow concurrent read but block concurrent writes?)

More and more new accounts are posting spam and ads to communities (eg !technology@programming.dev), would it be an idea to block new accounts from posting to any p.d community?

I wanted people to be able to try out my language online, and it’s now possible with a vscode like interface, sending code to a docker image running the interpreter! It was easier than I thought to implement, and yes, security was a concern, but I have been able to harden the docker container as well as implement restrictions on the websocket server to avoid having users escaping the docker image and getting access to the VM it’s running on.

I currently have a server, a Dell T310 with an SSD in it and 12Gig of ram (weird config, I know I messed up but it works fine so I can’t be bothered to change that for now), with all my dockers running in it. It runs mostly fine, with Debian 11, a VPN so that I can block public ssh and allow it only on the VPN network, an nginx proxy to have services like a forgejo and a music library (ampache). However it can’t run a Minecraft server with more than a single person on it without stuttering ; so I was considering changing it maybe next year, after more than 3 years of services, for something beefier but also consuming less W/h (current consumption is 80W), and since I already have a Mac for work I was wondering how suitable a Mac Mini M1/M2 would be for a homelab? Does anyone have such a configuration and how does it work for you? Any hurdle that you should be aware of?

ADHD SuperFola • 3 months ago • 93%

I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, and just realized how weird it is, after trying to explain it out loud to a friend who’s also neurodivergent. I’m curious to know if it’s a common experience with other neurodivergent individuals. My mind has three different depths: - a very conscious one, capable of conjuring images and sounds from the void, capable of manipulating at will said images, morph them, move them… I can think « words » and have them be real in my mind - a conscious but closed one: I can put words in it but without acting on them, only watching them. This one is the weirdest of all. There is a difference for me when I think about « dog » and just « look at the idea of a dog ». There are some things I don’t want to consciously think about (like things that makes me sad or depressed) so instead of thinking about them I’ll put them in this zone. They exist but it’s very different from having the words out loud in my mind, as if I was thinking inside my own mind. It’s like I’m in a museum watching thoughts behind plexiglass - the dark zone, where I put things I don’t want to think about at all, things I want to forget. It’s literally a foggy dark place made of some kind of fluid darkness with no thoughts shining in it, I have to consciously want and try to pull things from it A while ago, I read somewhere that the mere thing of being able to conjure images was « rare », like only 25% of people on earth can do it. Somehow I linked this idea to people being neurodivergent but I have no proof or source and I may just have made things up in my sleep or under the shower. TL;DR: how does your mind works? Mine is weird

I’ve finally picked up an iPhone about a month ago, and have been loving the experience. However I’m now thrown into an ad-full world again (I used to have a browser blocking many if not most ads on the android), so I’m wondering, what adblockers do you use (may it be safari extension or entirely new browser for my fellow Europeans)?

Hello! I've been working on this language for the past 5 years, ArkScript, which is: - as small as I could (language wise, 10 keywords, nothing I deemed too specific/useless) - running on a VM, compile once run anywhere, just ship your bytecode - can be used as a scripting language on its own, like python (though it's not its strength) - easy to embed, made in c++ 17 with simplicity in mind I'm currently working on the v4 (I screwed up with the semver), redoing the imports syntax, and currently cleaning the code and rewriting all the unit tests using boosr-ext/ut. I'm open to criticism, suggestions, discussions on how to enhance it, or just questions on that weird project.

Nintendo SuperFola • 11 months ago • 100%

I played BotW a lot, and really loved it. I feel like the beginning of the game was relatively easy compared to TotK, I died a few times trying out things, discovering the game and possibilities ; in TotK I died a lot and still do even with good gear and armour (1*-2* armors, 30-40+ damage weapons). You could say it's skill issues and I would agree with you as I am not a pro player and play games once a week maybe, however I feel like the difficulty curve is far greater in TotK. That has affected how I view the game to the point that sometimes I think I dislike it (even though the new powers are the best thing they could have added, with the verticality of the world) ; that might also have to do with the much darker ambiance of the game, which can feel frightening (to me) to the point going underground is hard. Is it just me? Should I just "git gud"?

RetroGaming SuperFola • 12 months ago • 98%

New clear black shell to fit the IPS screen v3 from funny playing (no soldering needed! This is awesome, I can control the screen with just a touch on the GBA logo). I also added a rechargeable usb c battery, so far it is already lasting 2x longer thanks when I used AA (6 hours in, with a single charge, and medium brightness + sound). Next steps would probably be: - cleanAmp, because I noticed some kind of white noise with my headphones plugged in - GBA accelerator to replace the stock clock (and make grinding in Pokémon Ruby faster probably)

I wanted to experiment with a better pinky column, as for me using the bottom row with the pinky felt awkward and sometimes painful. Thus I created an alt version of my arkenswoop (swoop based), and named it the altenswoop because my brain thinks it is very original and funny. It will take some getting used to, and I'll need to get batteries for this prototype too! Is there a proper name for this kind of pinky formation? I've seen this elsewhere too, and I'm calling it pinky cluster in reference to the thumb cluster but it doesn't feel right Edit: I forgot to add a link to the PCB files: https://github.com/SuperFola/arkenswoop (under pcbs/3x5_nw_pinky_cluster)

Flutter SuperFola • 1 year ago • 100%

A few days ago I had this urge of making my own music player, since I have a Subsonic capable server (ampache) to host and serve music. I've been using DSub, which has a lot of features that I don't use, but works very very well. Alas it isn't "up to date" in terms of design. So I made my own, heavily inspired by Android 13, Material 3 enabled, has dynamic colors / system theme fallback (a small thing that goes a long way, I didn't want to make an half baked customisation screen, since Android already has one why not use it?) This was my very first Flutter and Dart experience, and I must say it was very enjoyable! The docs are awesome, there are a lot of plugins to choose from, hot reloading... I know now that I needed that feature, it's a must have to iterate quickly! I might have reduce the amount of time I slept the past few days but it was very well worth it. Here is demo video [https://imgur.com/a/SwOxcij](https://imgur.com/a/SwOxcij) (it has changed a bit since then, mostly on boarders/padding, by a few pixels at most but still relevant ; more up to date pictures on the readme of the github repo)!

Two years ago I started to follow RogueBasin's roguelike C++ tutorial, a somewhat outdated tutorial in term of good practices and C++ version, but very on point in term of roguelikes. My goal when I started Pataro what quite ambitious: I wanted to make a modern C++ roguelike from the tutorial, and write an updated version of said tutorial to help the community! Even better (or worse, in term of choosing your goals) I thought I could make a modern C++ roguelike library for people to use. I got the first 9 parts of the tutorial working pretty smoothly, having set up an architecture inspired by Bob Nystrom about game architecture with roguelikes in mind (great talk by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxI3Eu5DPwE). Then I got to a big hurdle: saving and loading. Having used a lot of polymorphism, it makes quite hard to load correctly things and I stopped there.  Then a few weeks ago, I picked up the project again, with a much lower set of goals in mind: - finishing to implement the tutorial from RogueBasin - ease the configuration of the project, so that people can pick parts of it or just make a roguelike from it - fix a bunch of problems related to the map and how it is used to be able to extend it and modify it (imagine being able to have spells that could alter the map) - rearchitecture a few more things because it's still very rough on the edges - modernize the C++ code (again) [Progress as of july 2023](https://hachyderm.io/@lexplt/110771111615075581)

I follow (probably too many) a bunch of news source regarding programming, and a few weeks ago I started putting everything in a RSS reader, so that I can a single feed/app to go to (instead of remembering every day/week to check x, y, a websites), so I made a script for totw/cpp to help them generate an RSS feed when a new tip is posted. It might need a few more tweaks to be perfect (markdown to html to XML CDATA sometimes messes up), but it works well and I can finally enjoy reading tips easily anytime, and so can you!

Voyager SuperFola • 1 year ago • 100%

When scrolling on Lemmy I often stumble on links from people that don't use community syntax (!c@server). It would be appreciated for those thinks to be rewritten automatically to avoid the browser opening, and instead staying in Voyager. Implementation could be tough though: do you need to prefetch the page, parse it and check somehow that it's a Lemmy community? Or have a list of known servers to rewrite those links? Both could prove tedious to maintain.

Voyager SuperFola • 1 year ago • 100%

Voyager puts a red dot on the inbox tab, so I go there expecting to see if it is 1/2/more messages, if I have unread notifications... but there are no indication that I still have a notification once I click on the tab. It would be great to add a count of each type of notifications, or if it isn't possible just a bubble next to the corresponding type! Thanks for the app, it is wonderful so far

The Arkenswoop is a Lord of the Rings themed revision of the swoop by jimmerricks (which is a revision of the sweep by David Barr, which is a revision of the Ferris by Pierre Chevalier (yes I found that chain of revisions funny so I included it in its entirety)). Don't worry it isn't just a themed put on it, I added hotswap support, keeping the reversible design and wireless support. I also removed the LEDs, having no use for them ; they are also a huge power draw when in wireless. Encoder was moved a bit to the bottom because it was interfering with the nearest keycap (and the key became stuck upon pressing it, I found it funny at first). Alas I also screwed up: the switch plate holes are a bit too big (longer than wider) ; easy fix for now was to put some tape and voilà, every holds as the holes are tighter. I might print another plate with smaller holes but for now this is more than fine. https://github.com/SuperFola/arkenswoop

3 days ago I setup fail2ban. Nothing fancy, just reading the logs of my docker containers where it applied. Then 2 days ago my server crashed out of nowhere, nothing in the f2b logs (I thought I had banned the entire internet by mistake), doing a nap just tells me port 80 and 443 were open (a few more should have been for Plex). The same happened yesterday and I pulled the cable just in case I was being hacked (I'm paranoid but not too much), and looked in it. usually I ssh from my local network into the server, but couldn't this time, so I put a screen on it and it was quickly flooded with systemd failures and ext4 errors. I reformated the disk a few months ago and ran a SMART, it told me the disk was fine, no error detected. It is a chonky 2TB disk and I have at most 150gigs used (movies, music, backups waiting to be transferred on daily basis to other servers/media, dockers). Where should I look? I know how to work with Linux but when looking for a problem like this, except using systemctl status/restart I'm lost.

Hi all, I'm looking for a dashboard or widget for [homepage](https://github.com/benphelps/homepage) to be able to monitor quickly my fail2ban jails. Does it even exist? How do you people monitor your jails? I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up a mail server and send report daily/weekly

I wanted a swoop low profile, with roller encoders (evqwgd001) instead of the MX version with vertical encoders (ec11) that's currently on the repo by jimmerricks. So I forked the repo and based my work on an older revision that still had the LP/evq PCBs and printed them as is, which you can see in the attached image. It served me as a base to identify what I liked and what I didn't like about it, to know what I should fix for the next revisions. My to-do list: * Biggest thing for me was adding hotswap sockets (still working on it), * moving the encoder down about 0.3mm (it interferes slightly with the nearest keycap, the pads could be made smaller). * I think I'm going to keep the SMD, but add the possibility to use TH diodes, and space them a bit more (I found that soldering 2 SMD near each other makes it very hard to hold them properly). * Somewhat controversial maybe, but I removed the LEDs, having no use for them. * I'm keeping Bluetooth support (in my head that's just pro micro footprint+reset button+on/off switch+battery pads), even though I haven't tested it yet. Here is the repo, feel free to contribute to it (I know I fucked up by removing the kicad library, will redo it for the hotswap rev): https://github.com/SuperFola/arkenswoop
