Building a bouldering wall at home, for the kids. A bunch of square panels with a grid pattern to mount hold on, with the panels hanging on french cleats (with a locking system, #TODO) so the panels are easily removable so I can hang something like planters on the wall as well with the same french cleats. No AI, a bit of computers to draw things out in CAD, but otherwise just manual building stuff.

Pictures?

Imgur lies and gaslights, please don't use them. While using a VPN, they will say "Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later." But if you don't use a VPN, then it magically works.

Maybe over the capacity allocated for VPN originating traffic? I would never interpret a user-facing error message like that on a public site to be a reliable claim of what's actually going on in the underlying infrastructure. For any service.

That's very charitable. I can't imagine that they would segregate bandwidth like that. I've never had Imgur work on VPN no matter the endpoint or time of day or week.

Between job searches, I'm working on implementing the WHATWG Web APIs on top of Elixir.

https://github.com/sntran/web

I love Elixir but I had been a JS developer by trade. Bridging that interface keeps my brain focusing on building instead of splitting between JS and Elixir.

Still a lot to do, but I love the progress so far. This puts the joy of building something back to me.

Sorry about that. I'll search somewhere better to post it while I don't have a website for it.

Meanwhile I found this random image upload website which might work:

I'm building a website integrity and security monitor. The backend is written in Java/PostgreSQL. The front end is written in JS/React. It will allow for interactive use via front end or API driven.

I initially was using SSE to push events down to the front end during long scans but decided to switch over to plain old HTTP polling for better reliability across different browsers.

Going for a 100% self-service model. No corporate sales cycles, no slide decks, no meetings. If the tool works for you, you buy it.

Targeting a June launch.
