https://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…

I don't pay attention to it and I can't for the life of me figure out how much it earns monthly but there is over $800 in my account. My hunch is $10-$15 a month or so. I just moved it to a cheaper hosting plan so it's actually turning a minuscule profit now.
Nice. I thought the Carbon Ads and Deck Ads require some minimum # of traffic, so I guess you're hitting a lot of visitors on it?
Me and a couple colleagues initially built devo.ps[2]. We made a lot of mistakes (over-engineered mostly).
We ended up building its successor, Pipelines, as a lightweight Python alternative to tools like Jenkins and it works great so far for us and many of the teams we work with.
It doesn't solve much; we mostly use it to easily trigger Ansible playbooks (through Slack/webhooks or a Web interface) and review failed/successful logs of past runs. But it has a few nice features (like prompting users for values and being easily extensible).
Also you install it with a simple `pip install pipelines`. No DB, no need for a gazillion dependencies, just Python. Done in 2 minutes and running in 5.

Map Caps Lock key to Escape key, or any to any key, on Windows systems.
I am very happy about it because my wife (then girlfriend) was the first user of this little tool and she still uses it everyday. She likes that this tool is unobtrusive and it silently remaps Caps Lock to Escape which is very convenient while using Vim.
From the download count I know that there are more people using it now but I don't know who they are.

I did something very similar a few years ago, but in c#. I didn't do real rate limiting, just threading configuration and a configurable random sleep; but it got the job done. It was a super fun project to work on. I can't believe that the open source options are so still so few and far between in this area. There are TONS of great tools for building crawlers, and there are tons of great crawlers built for mirroring…
Yep, that's why I've build my own, the existing ones don't give out a list of the links or are super slow. A co-worker made the first one in Python but it was so slow that it took hours (6+ sometimes) to finish a site and I thought "you can do that faster". Problematic are some sites that don't use tags because that's what my crawler is looking for. C# & Elixier & Rust where the the other options I thought about and…
There is some super useful stuff too though that made it easy to write a generic extensible crawler. My implementation ended up supporting separately compiled plugins you could just dump in a 'plugins\' directory, which responded to events and had full ability to manipulate the output pipeline. Do-able in lots of languages, but c# has some formalized helpers around it that make it super easy.

By using the cloud service to manage data transfer from one computer to the other, even if they are behind NAT, have changing IP addresses, ...? You know, just like CrashPlan, which otherwise also provides remote storage, does? (rsync.net doesn't offer that, but it is not a totally outlandish idea that they could if you just know them as "cloud backup services")
> (rsync.net doesn't offer that, but it is not a totally outlandish idea that they could if you just know them as "cloud backup services") Ah, if that is what you wanted to do, they don't need to offer anything more than they already do. There's no reason why you can't rsync your laptop to rsync.net and then rsync the fs on rsync.net back to your local server.
I usually like to keep most of my stuff backed up and that's almost 1 TB of data which would be very expensive to keep in the cloud.
So what I did was build a very cheap server with a WD Red HDD that I use to backup my full drive every couple of months.
I know I can probably use vanilla rsync but I really don't have the time to set up everything up and make sure it works, so I thought rsync.net could be a potential solution/alternative to CrashPlan.
Thanks for the answers though!

Can you eloborate on this? Why did you have to use assembly and how did you decrypt it? Hiw did you find the key?
Sure. Bit of a long story. TL:DR at the end. I wanted to dump sounds from the game, not for myself, but because I wanted a way for people to do videos/soundbanks without having to record them from the sytem audio, which would often contain other noises from the game. So that was my initial motivation. I started by doing it the brute force way, load game, dump content of ram into a file, use a command line tool (can't…
Not sure if this warrants inclusion in this list, but I'll share it anyway. I made a simple firefox/chrome extension for people that horde tabs as temp bookmarks. You might find it useful to find tabs and quickly navigate to them by clicking on the link in the list. It's free and open source. The github page has a gif showing usage. You can also type cmd-shift-e or ctrl-shift-e to switch to it. Chrome Extension: http…
Have you seen OneTab?
