    Nice interface -- I made something similar but for a specific game (Binding of Isaac) because it has a specific way of implementing shaders for mods. https://sublimnl.github.io/Isa…

    A decade or so ago, we got rid of a huge collection of about 350 laserdics - a guy drove from two states over to pick them up for his small towns community center where they would …

    Kaitai is very useful for reverse engineering a binary file that you have some assumptions of. I've used it for save file reverse engineering and then creating a read/write library…

    Interestingly, my paternal great-great-grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in 1868 with Carlson as his last name; later in life, my sister was born in Sweden because we happened to …

    I tried three images as the prompt, all three isolated without a background, and it worked pretty decently. Nothing I would actually use, but they generated something close enough.…

    GoDaddy is the registry, but not the sole registrar that it can be registered through. Both NameCheap and Gandi are options - and I am sure others too. NB: I work for GoDaddy, but …

    Last spring, I was at my friends new at the time restaurant, when he let me know that Pete Wells was at the table behind us (and how important this night was for my friend) -- I no…

    Semantic UI[1] was one I used to use, both the plain CSS one as well as the React version of the library. Version 3.0 is coming (eventually), which has left it a bit outdated for a…

    I am rebuilding the website for a personal project of mine; the site is for a mod in a game that offers twitch integration, and in the mod, there is a "twitch chest" that only chat…

    I was making a similar library (paired with a cli app) in Go a while back with some fun results -- it lead me down a rabbit hole trying to render animated gifs, which has interesti…

    You should also check out Phrack Magazine (an online distributed ezine that is still active, albeit with years between issues - they also have a 2024 call for writers though!) at p…

    Little feedback on the site; the site is very hard to use on my current laptop at 1920x1080 - overflow is hidden so I can't scroll to the button to perform the generation (and afte…

    https://github.com/nasser/---/ is the repo for it -- sadly doesn't seem it has been updated much since the initial article and release of it.

    Very neat -- one issue with the site is once you have started a game, if you try to scroll down to check out the rest of the page it keeps scrolling me back up to the game. I was l…

    I made this a while back for fun -- changing the seed will add different artefacts to the page, rotate it, hole punches, and of course coffee stains: https://sublim.nl/scp/?seed=12…

    I've used midjourney to create ttrpg tokens in the past, and the best way I was able to do so was to say "aerial view" -- top down was very flakey in if it would work. I wonder if …

    No where near as cool; but ages ago when I worked at Tumblr, and when we were expanding the office, they were going to throw out the MAME arcade cabinet - since I lived about 15 mi…
