#652Right now I'm working on withdrawing money from cs.money and Steam balance. It's been sitting there for years, and I finally found health, time, and dedication to withdraw it. On cs.money I had $35k and on Steam balance I had $12k. The only way to get money from cs.money trade mode is to buy skins and sell them somewhere else. On Steam, on the other hand, I buy Steam Decks via Steam balance and sell them locally. I h…
damn. That is a lot of skins. Yea, make sense to try to automate that. Approx how much time does it take to turn it into money?

#653I noticed my 2.5 year old niece likes zooming into photos of bugs on her mom's phone. I'm making her a little "game" where she can flip over rocks and find different bugs and other weird surprises.
Wow really wholesome and exciting.

#654I've been learning io_uring for fun and 0 profit by building a web-based game using only the Rust standard library. I create a simple WebSocket server and am now creating async from the ground up. I'm documenting it all: https://github.com/kilroyjones/series_game_from_scratch

#655I'm tring to write a minimal tool in Go to deploy and manage CD for my self-hosted projects.
I've tried many things but still none fit exactly my needs (I deploy many static websites so I want that to be effortless but I still want to be able to do continuous deployment on git+docker based projects). I know about Dokku and is probably what I should have learned to use but this way I can also challenge myself on a medium Go project

#656We’re building an off the shelf software and ECU that allows you to convert anything to EV (classics and low volume OEMs) with enough tweakable knobs to suit every application. There are some players in this space already, but we have repurposed some OEM grade hardware that we usually reserve for the big players and so we can offer differentiating features such as DC fast charging, bidirectional/V2X, and things like…
What is “ECU” and “EV” in this context?

#657Working on adding better phrase matching for Marginalia Search. The way position used to be stored in the search engine was approximate, using something like a bloom filter. With this change, they'll be stored in an exact fashion using a gamma coded positions list instead. In the phase of dotting t:s and dashing i:s at this point. Hope to have it in production in September.
Amazing. Big fan here. Please keep up the food work.

#658I'm working on planning next year's Square Foot Garden and building some tools to help me figure out staggering and succession planting--trying to be self-sufficient this year. I'm also working on a cookbook that focuses on "composable" meals and minimizing kitchen waste.

#659I am working alone on https://tree-of-knowledge.org This is a hierarchical representation of any given piece of knowledge. It starts with a tree root node that you specify (let's say Kung fu), then it branches out into multiples subcategories (techniques, styles, philosophy, weaponry, ect...) and then you can click on these subcategories to branch out even more into the graphical tree. This is all generated on-the-fl…
Very cool! Is the code open source?

#660A new CI/CD platform. Local CLI (run without git push), remote debugger, automatic content-based caching, DAG-based definition, and dynamic tasks. It’s taken a lot of work to build it, but I’m really excited about how well it’s working. https://rwx.com/mint
This seems really neat! I'm a huge proponent of incremental CI for any project that gets big enough to care about test speed.
I'd be pretty worried about an abstraction ceiling on the caching here relative to something like Bazel, though. Like would Mint get mad if I generated 4000 dynamic tasks?
