I created ContainerSSH[1] in 2020 which is an SSH server that drops you in a container instead of launching a shell directly. (It's not a containerized SSH, it talks to the Docker/Kubernetes API.) It has since become a CNCF Sandbox project The main use case is creating jump servers and remote dev environments, but it can also be used as a honeypot due to its audit log features that allow you to reconstruct the SSH in…

I tried ContainerSSH and it is great. What are you doing now that you switched industries?:)

Thanks, glad you like it. :) My wife and I left the company with the red headgear and started a games company called Something Pink[1]. It's still a bit in the making, but we are uploading discussions on our progress to YouTube. The only use I have for containers is running an SVN server. :)

I am making https://gpxgo.com, a route planner for road cyclists.

I am aware of the existence of strava and komoot but I had some frustrations creating specific routes using their apps on mobile. Especially adding and dragging waypoints to a route was a focus point. In addition to exporting the route to a gpx file, the website allows to view the elevation profile and road type.

Have been working on a project which allows you to check if any of your source code has been copied from major online projects (over 70 billion lines of code) and report back if duplicates have been found. You can control the length of the run (so 15 lines means a match or 7 lines) and make the line matching fuzzy. The idea being to provide compliance checks such as licensing and such, although I guess it would allow…

I think there is a company that does this exact thing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I see where you're going with this. Elemental (motif-based) editing instead of timeline and frame based editing?

Timeline and frame based editing is the end result but this more about the elemental creation and from there, editing it into time based scene. Ive spent the last few years in the cinematography department, and most directors and director of photographers will write the scenes on flash cards and move them around and rearrange them because not every story is linear, even though we have to find a way to present every s…

I see. So would the dialogue be part of the textual description?

What would be a typical unit? A keyframe? A bucket of frames?

Because the elements are temporal and visual, I think some form of “object in time” relation must be encoded in the description?

I built mirrored fables, an AI powered visual novel generator. Give it a try! https://www.mirroredfables.com/?proxyKey=hellohackernews source: https://github.com/mirroredfables/mirroredfables

I love this, but looks like it's less VN and more of just a novel.

I think the problem is it generates content, but not very high quality content. It's not gripping enough from the beginning, just sort of drags out. It could be that the engine works right, just that the input is garbage, as often happens with AI.

But maybe something about it could be engineered a little better. From the code it looks like it's just generating most of it in a single blast. But I wonder if it can be iterated into chunks.

e.g. split it into the Three Act Structure.

1. Protagonist really wants something. Faces an obstacle. Tries everything and gets stuck. 2. Protagonist makes sacrifices. Gets even more stuck. Something that the protagonist faces in Act 1 ends up being the key, often a mentor or a sacrifice that Protagonist didn't expect. 3. Denouement.

You could probably generate a want and an obstacle. I kind of did a prototype of that here (feel free to steal ideas): https://random-character-generator.com/

Then do the same with the other characters. Generate relationships.

Then some iteration where the AI writes those characters into those scripts.

Probably another where it writes up scenes/places/setting later. The characters are then colored in and put into these places.

An editing run where it removes unnecessary scenes or scenes that didn't work. Or leave this to the humans.

Anyway, it is very good work. It's nice that it's open source, may contribute to it some day.

This is really interesting as I am looking for a route planner that I can use with my old Garmin Edge without having to do 3rd degree API connections in the background every time.

All I want is a route file that I can copy on the device using a file manager.

Can this tool work for me or do you know other bike computers you were able to use this with?

This looks cool, but please add translations, I don't speak Dutch(?). :) One question: are you using OpenCycleMap? If not, it would be worth adding as it highlights a lot of the safer routes, such as Eurovelo and local bikeways.

"When will I run out of money?" https://whenwillirunoutofmoney.com/ Due to changing jobs recently I created this site as a fun side project, as other sites I found involved sending your financial data to someone else's server. But I'm not really happy with the introductory text, nor did any friend I showed it to find the "help" link which was disappointing. Would love some feedback or advice!

This is amazing. Didn't even need any documentation. It works with how I track money, mostly in evernote and not spreadsheets.

I wish it did other periods like weekly, daily, annually. Weekly is useful for tracking food. Annually is useful to decide whether to cancel those subscriptions, or converting them to monthly.

Might use this for taxes too and change the formatting of how I track money to match this.

Thanks for the ideas, and also thanks for the explanation (it's tempting to think nobody would need feature X, but when you put it like that I can totally see it makes sense!)

There is "yearly" already but I think your name of "annually" would be much better, so I'll add that naming, thanks!
