#572https://10minutemail.com
I built it to learn JBoss Seam, and recently re-wrote it using DeltaSpike. I personally use it almost every day!

#573Dead By Zombie.
might have been the world's first commercial true Rogue-like. Why? Played in a terminal, looks/works like Rogue, yet I was literally selling copies to customers and promoting it in person at game conventions. might also have been first in Python too:

The Dread Space Pirate Richard. a comedy ebook. 1st book on Amazon, 2nd being written. sells copies: https://reddit.com/r/dspr
Software Performance & Scalability Cheatsheet. free download. geek out on it. revise and expand from time to time: http://synisma.neocities.org/perf_scale_cheatsheet.pdf
lots more in the distant past. (eg. once wrote a pretty decent clone of Empire Deluxe, but with more unit types, and for Linux. shoutout to @WalterBright!)
my next one might be Maxitize. but we'll see, its very early.

#574https://izuded.com (i.e., "iz u ded?") I made this because I adopted a puppy and realized that, if I got hit by a bus on a Friday, he could be stuck in his crate for days before anyone realized. Morbid, but useful. It texts you every X days and asks, "u ded?" -- if you don't click "naw" before X days pass, it'll notify your contacts. It's a portfolio project to show what I've learned in the realm of "serverless" arch…
Can you make a version of this that just texts my mom that "I'm okay". That'd be perfect. P.S: Yes I'm thirty. Y'all don't know Indian moms.
I'm over thirty. This isn't Indian specific...

If you indeed did build 10minutemail.com - I applaud you. May I ask how much you make (roughly) off of the service? It seems to be the go-to for most temporary email services, at least that I know of.

#576Earlier quoted context omitted.
wget -qO shellshare http://get.shellshare.net && python shellshare Please don't tell people to do this. This is an idiom called "curl pipe sh"; you're asking people to run whatever code someone on their network decides to send them. As an absolute minimum, you should change that http to https , so that they're merely running whatever code YOU decide to send them; but even that doesn't quite fit with the "share your t…
I agree with the HTTPS part, but aside from that I can't really see how it's less safe than saying "here, install this .deb (which gets to run scripts as root) and then run the binary inside".
deb packages distributed to the public should be pgp signed and in a proper repository. It doesn't help people who will just force-install it anyway, but if they care it allows verification.

#577rsync.net. I am very, very proud of the (very simple) platform that we've built there. It's a basic tool that "just works" - and just works exactly like you'd expect it to . If I were a consumer of cloud storage, this is what I would want it to look like. It pleases me so greatly to know that, right now, someone is doing something like this: pg_dump -U postgres db | ssh user@rsync.net "dd of=db_dump" ... while simult…
Aaah, what happened to your old site? It literally takes 10 seconds minimum from the screwed up JavaScript scrolling to reach the bottom of the site.
I'm sure this converts better, but at the same time the site design and stock photos screams newish SaaS service that could disappear on me tomorrow. (I know better, it's just the impression I get)

#578I have some sideprojects around the internet, but so far the most useful thing I made has been http://paralleltext.io A tool that helps you learn languages by reading public domain books. I should continue working on that...
This is fantastic, great work!

#579https://shellshare.net I have migrated my wife's (then girlfriend) computer to Linux and sometimes I had to configure something on her computer (e.g. a printer). This ended up generating lots of back and forth on the phone with me telling her commands to write in the terminal, and she reading the output out loud. I wanted an easy way to see her terminal. So shellshare was born. Shellshare allows you to run a single c…
Why not just SSH + shared screen / tmux? Not sure why you need to involve the browser.

You could write a cron job that uses Twilio. I like to optimise for success.
