#42I am building a CLI tool for OAuth and OpenID Connect based access control. It allows performing auth flows with and without browser redirects, decodes JWTs, inspect OIDC issuers, etc. It is written in the go language and has multi Platform support. The next steps are about adding login profiles as config values. Also adding impersonation support with the OAuth Token Exchange protocol. https://git.schuerg.net/simon/a…
You say multiplatform - .NET?

#43I've really enjoyed my Pi-hole so far, so I decided to make an open-source version on the ESP32. It's not quiet finished yet, but it is very close. There are only a few small things that need to be done before I can call it stable, but the last 10% of a project is somehow always the hardest.

#44I've been building a locally-hosted version of Pocket that saves articles (and pdfs) to a lucene index, and provides full text search over them. https://github.com/SaahilClaypool/SearchStory
Good idea. I would pay for this.
Thanks! Still very early, but hopefully once it's closer to a useable product I'll post around and get some real user feedback.
Worst case it'll be useful for me and my house mate who made the original request.

#45I've been (slowly) doing Advent of Code 2019 on an STM32F303 microcontroller. I want all of the problem data to be stored in the binary, with the answers being output on a display. Most of my time so far has been spent on getting the clock working, and compression/decompression. I only have limited space (256KB), and the 20 of last year's problems I solved take up 221KB, so I decided the best course of action would be to store them compressed when possible.
I did consider just using compression library, but decided against it partly because it would be more interesting to write it myself, but also having a quick look I couldn't find one that could do decompression without needing additional temporary storage. It's not that fancy, just LZW with a multi-stage compression to optimize the dictionary.
Because of how many of the inputs work, you can often handle it in smaller chunks (e.g. one line at a time, I called them records), so the inputs have a small amount of pre-processing on my PC to split them up into smaller chunks so the entire input doesn't need to be held in RAM at once.
Of course, not all input data will compress well, some will even "compress" to a larger size, so I've also abstracted over the data storage so that it can handle reading records from compressed or uncompressed inputs.
I've done 4 days so far, and none of the inputs have compressed. Total runtime is 3.24 seconds (that day 4...).
Current state can be found here for the morbidly curious: https://github.com/Measter/AdventOfCode2019 Spoilers are in the mcu/src/challenges folder.

#46Cool to read about all the various things people are doing.
I'm building a virtual tabletop for tabletop roleplayers that play narrative driven games and theater of the mind style games.
I'm using text parsing to accomplish different tools for storytelling and improvisation. Believe that is the quickest way for a GM to produce content and rig their games.
The tech stack is Svelte and Sapper with MDSVEX and Pouch/CouchDb/Websockets. The database part has been the hardest so far and haven't gotten that far. Got some decent character sheets out there but just using local storage for now. Got working slide decks, rollable tables and interactive fiction in dev but knitting it all together is a big job. My goal is to run my first game session with friends in May and open it for alpha June/July.

Love it! Fun UI.

Would be nice to have a max size for the font on your headlines so they don't collide with each other :)

Software to completely replace the core functionality of cameras like WyzeCam while allowing it to be used in a purely local (ie. cloud free) setup wihtout phoning home to anywhere.

#50I've been working on Chord Pro (https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/chord-pro/) for interactive data visualisation with chord diagrams... adding more features over time. It's a fun project, but it's operating at a loss if I factor in my time!
