Turning a Ender 3 3D printer into a belt printer was put on the back burner pending TaxAmmend.com

TaxAmmend.com was put on the back burner pending AmIAccessible.com

AmIAccessible.com was placed on the back burner pending my AWS Certifications.

My AWS Certifications were put on the back burner pending a Computer Forensics research paper into Consumer Grade Forensics.

My research paper is almost completed pending some Forensic Wipe testing using Roadkil's Diskwipe (don't use it, it just failed).

I am now rebuilding my Open Media Vault machine (as it has had a critical software failure), and rebuilding my small 1U penetration testing server, and creating a new forensics portable machine, and publishing a Computer Networks paper that I had kicking around since 2019.

Distributed version control for a graph database.

Not just serializing the graph and putting that in a DVCS, but an actual graph based DVCS which manages graphs (reflectively).

I'm working on https://topstonks.com - We're covering the speculative culture of investing coming from Reddit's WallstreetBets and 4chan.

I'm also considering buying a sewing machine and making masks for my local community. Shoot me a message if you'd be interested in branded (cloth) masks for your startup. This would help subsidize the cost. Still feeling the idea out.

I'm building a new twin ad-hoc encoding format to replace JSON and friends [1].

It has native support for all commonly used data types, so you don't need to artificially specify custom encodings just to get your data across.

It's a twin text / binary format, where the text format can be transparently converted to the binary format, and vice versa. This means that you can use the binary format for storage and communication, and only convert to/from the text format when humans get involved.

I'm currently building a reference implementation in go [2], which is now running faster than the JSON codec in my experimental branch [3].

I'm working on a very limited feature CRM for my wife who has started her own business last year and is now struggling with Excel to keep up with following up on client contacts.

Love this kind of thing. What challenges are you facing right now? Are you using any existing software as an inspiration?

WYSIWYG Editor for SwiftUI for iOS :) https://acrylapp.tech

Basically it’s the app where you can design and build app’s UI by drag & dropping real SwiftUI components.

I am giving Portable-VirtualBox some love. It is an open source software tool that lets you run any operating system from a USB stick without separate installation. A lot of issues with Windows 10 is unresolved: https://github.com/vboxme/Portable-VirtualBox/issues (Any help would be greatly appreciated).

In the process of decoupling from the Apple ecosystem after 20+ years knee deep in it.

Kicked off the project by installing and configuring Arch+Wayland+Sway on an old MacBook Air precisely to my needs/desires to be used as a daily driver.

I'm working on website that's like Last.fm or Trakt.tv but for podcasts. I'm building it together with a friend as we both wanted to play around with Rails, so far it's going pretty well and we hope to be mostly ready to ship a first version in the next 2 months.
