My finite element library (https://github.com/kinnala/scikit-fem). I consider it complete and add features only if my research requires, but I'll likely maintain it until Python is dead or I'm dead.

How much do you make from your ads?
For caseconverter.pro? Pennies right now because yeah (per month), traffic is low because its not SEO-optimized. I would need to write a lot of content case conversions and optimize the page in multiple ways. Question is the motivation haha ^^
Probably also pennies but have you considered adding micropayments via Coil (it is only an HTML tag) and.
I use it on my blog with Uphold wallet and I get small payments in fiat currency.

It was!!! Personally, I have no aversion towards GMO. But in the end, it's the customers. It's already so hard to convince that food grown in clean and sterilized nutrient medium is far better than the romantic soil everyone is clinging to; GMO would take way more convincing. However, there are tastes that are indeed only found in the 'old' seeds, so there is do see the aversion non-GMO from customer side. In terms o…
> It's already so hard to convince that food grown in clean and sterilized nutrient medium is far better than the romantic soil everyone is clinging to; You are delusional if you belive this. You actually think that putting some vitamins, minerals etc.. in your hydropnic system is enough to immitate the insanely complex environement of real soil? You are the example of peak arrogance: you think you can take a few thi…
Best to tone it down a bit. One man's legit food isn't necessarily the others. No one is forcing you to put anything in your own mouth.

#274https://secretlink.org/ - A simple way to send encrypted one time data to people. It's a no signup way to send encrypted messages to people (think usernames and passwords etc) that includes the time limited decryption key in the email we send to the target user and when the target user views the email, the message is deleted from our system. This way if the target email gets hacked in the future, the link is useless.…
Interesting. It’s like a quantum email service.
Never thought of it that way :) Once you send the secret though, it is not recoverable by the sender or us or the receipient without clicking the link in the recipients email within the expiry time.

#275Temporal NoSQL (XML/JSON, though relational data is theoretically possible as well) database called SirixDB, using a flavor of XQuery/JSONiq as a query language.
Dealing with the changes that occur to data over time can be complex. SirixDB simplifies it somewhat by recording the system time of every transaction. I'm actually writing a blog post to show some of the problems with changing data, and how SirixDB can be used to assist with the problem.
SirixDB also uses functionally persistent data structures to efficiently share data between revisions, preventing storage bloat.
I've been working (on and off) on the ecosystem/tooling for SirixDB for over a year now. I do almost all of the ecosystem work, and for the most part, there is only one dev on the core. While I think that SirixDB is at least feature ready, I don't think anything will ever come of the project. I wish the project would get some users though, that would be exciting :).

#276Mine is Perligo (https://perligo.io). It’s a digital writing critique group community I’m building simply because of my experience with software used in my Master’s program in creative writing. The program used discussion forums that were not designed for the types of collaboration and communication that happens in a writing group.
My goal is to launch this and have as many writers as possible use it. But if that fails, I know my old MFA cohort will use it with me, and I’m happy with that.

#277Finger.Farm https://finger.farm Love a good / dubious project I can bang out over a rainy weekend. Finger.Farm is a modern re-implementation of fingerd in Node, but with an API and whatnot. I built it mostly as a demo for the Jr devs on my team who haven't had the opportunity to finger each other, but there are some ideas there I might bring back in other projects...
Nice. One can still get the weather by fingering, for example, paris@graph.no. If you want encryption there is a way to hang it out over ssh protocol. Which brings me to a very small project to create a quick password. ssh -q passwd@netzbasis.de
Interesting. Didn’t know you could still finger the weather... will adjust my docs accordingly

#278https://github.com/nicbou/timeline
It regroups my personal data, and displays it on a timeline. Sort of like if Google Photos also included reddit posts, personal journal entries, text messages and other slices of life. It's a sort of "on this day", but for a single person.
I do it both as a way to back up files and photos, and as a way to keep an enhanced journal. It's also a way to divorce myself from companies that hold my personal data hostage.
It's already live, but I'm still extending it with new data sources (especially GDPR data dumps) and simplifying its structure for further development.

Brings me joy every single day, even if I'm the only user in the world :)
