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!
Currently working on The Next Big Thing™️ in the Linux community.
Free tech tip: turn off auto updates on your servers so that you always run proven and stable software :3c

Uuhhhh… 👀 yeah… two
What?
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.

Oh, I thought you were calling me out for spam because I posted yesterday or two days ago.
I have to appreciate linux and the people who actually make changes in open source code.

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!

If you are happy it’s all that matters until your laptop breaks, LOL
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 use the G’MIC plugin for GIMP, it’s really good
Ah… GIMP. I love GIMP I use it myself to draw sprites and UI for my games and I’ve used it for my social media recently!
pretty cool!
I have no idea what that means but I think it sounds pretty cool! Anything about image processing is always fascinating to me. Especially these days when AI has become more popular and it can even draw images. It’s cool how technology evolves!
It means that I made changes to code, so that it can work with any multi-threading strategy. G’MIC is a interpretative language with JIT support, and you don’t have any control over automated multi-threading strategy. It can be thread 0 to thread N linearly, or even interleaved. So, the workaround is to make a image of size equal to cpus count, and do the multithreading there.
Yeah, I love image processing, I worked on it for 8+ years now.

Web development is cool!
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
Oh, this takes me back to when I was writing my Thaumcraft 4 solver that I wrote in ActionScript 3 way back when. 🥲 What fun that was! I hope do you finish.
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!

You can leave out the NSFW parts. What you’re downloading doesn’t have to be mentioned.

Yeah, a video is a video.
Just a reminder that reencoding already compressed videos is a recipe for destroying the quality, unless you’re using a very high bitrate, which quite often gets you the same size as the input video.
I think the consensus is that if your video isn’t 4k or higher, there isn’t much gain in using HEVC if it is already H.264.
So if you want to store them long term, reencoding them now means that if you decide to do it again later (for whatever reason) you’ll have too many artifacts accumulated.
I crawled multiple defunct story sites years back and now I’m finally building an index and UI for them.
I’m currently working on a minimal spam protection system that uses a proof-of-work mechanism.
I recently read about something similar called Anubis. Is it related?
Ogrim is influenced by ALTCHA. Taking a quick glance, Anubis is a similar solution with some differences of solving the same problem:
- Anubis sits between the target service and the reverse proxy, while Ogrim sits behind the target service.
- One Anubis instance is needed per service, while a single Ogrim instance can be used for multiple services.
- The target service does not need integration with Anubis. On the other hand, Ogrim and its services must be integrated to work.
- Anubis will block search engine indexers, affecting the SEO of the target service. This is not the case with Ogrim.
custom nifi processor
Had to look this one up, very cool stuff. Terrible naming but I’ve come to expect that from Apache!

I’m not working with it directly. The team that uses it asked for the implementation of custom processor. They are saying that it is a game changer and we use it heavily. I guess the transparency and debuggabilty come in handy.
E-commerce SPA websites

A mixture of a combined sub-7k audio sequencer and softsynth, an OpenGL 3.3 PBR renderer and a small BRep CSG modelling DSL.
Changing a lot of code from a single delete to multiple deletes for drugs in a database now.
Then working on creating a full usermanual for the website from scratch…fml
