https://www.votivus.org A hobby project I started putting together late last year; a little spot on the internet for prayer and reflection. https://dugnad.stavanger-digital.no/ A pro bono tech consultancy for local non profits. The idea is to help them use tech to better deliver on their mission.
Votivus is very nice. And I'm an agnostic! Well done. I will use it.

#772I'm writing my first novel. For so long I've been looking for that non-work, non-tech activity that would take all my focus outside of working hours. I was having a hard time finding the right thing and I've always enjoyed story telling since I was a kid. So I just started at the beginning of the year and I'm at 5000 words. My goal is to reach 100000 and this far the only obstacle is time constraints. It feels so eff…

I wanted to learn about wavelet transforms. I also wanted to use Rust in a non-trivial capacity. Since jpeg2000 uses discrete wavelet transforms[1] and doesn't have a Rust implementation it caught my interest.

#774For the past month, I've been building a distributed, phase-coherent clock synchronization system over standard consumer 2.5GbE copper, bypassing the need for dedicated white rabbit hardware. It started as a way to fix audio drift in my multi-room setup without using large jitter buffers, but it turned into a standalone project where I started learning more about NIC driver latency. I found that if you isolate a spec…
Its been a while and I don't remember all details but I was trying to synchronize two B210s running on different systems as NR BS and UE.. GPSDOs were too costly and I did not have external PPS. Regardless of what I did, after initial sync the two sdrs would drift by significant amount within couple seconds. I just gave up on solving the problem on hardware and adjusted for timing and freq offset every SSB, and assuming everything is synchronized for two frame duration (2x1024us). I moved out of that project and I still don't know if there's a better way or how mobile phones actually implement RX..

#775I noticed that when trying to work with Claude Code I burned my token allocation really quickly and with parallel agents, no better. But when I looked at the other repos things felt really complex, for me at least.
I call it "contextd" and imagine it kind of like a context daemon you can always query in your repository for implementation plans, specs or code, etc. I always liked that git lived in your repo in the .git file, so I wanted this to work like that too but without 3rd party hosted databases or multi-repo pollution.
It's written in python at the moment, uses some local models and lanceDB but I might have it re-written in rust for speed :)

#776This is an HID ReMapping device, things like converting keyboard input to joystick input, or adding macros to specific inputs.
The usage is:
- It has 1 USB in and 1 USB out.
- In programming mode it's a USB drive you can put LUA scripts on (or pull out log files).
- In run mode you can select a LUA script to run.
- Scripts can read incoming mouse/joystick/keyboard data and generate outgoing mouse/joystick/keyboard data or even just log events onto a CSV file.
The code is functional, I still want to polish it and add fun animations and stuff, but for now it works as described above.
This month has been mostly mired in a PCB rework and assembly in the US. Assembly with JLCPCB is too expensive for now, so I have been spending the last few weeks sourcing components in an attempt to keep costs down. I changed the PCB a bunch as well to make assembly and case design easier
While I don't really plan on selling this, I wanted to challenge myself and make it sell-able by keeping costs really low. This has been the real challenge and time sink recently.
It is fully open source, once complete I will export a parts list and Gerber files so people who wanna make one can just use those files.

#777joking aside, I'm working on a mobile app side project for a client that involves camera vision/machine learning in a heavy trucking maintenance context. Very low-ego, blue collar stuff, with a blend of modern tech. That and game dev in Godot engine has brought back my passion for coding greatly that I had lost over the last several years.

#778I'm in the final stretch of self-publishing my debut sci-fi novel Sector 36. Been working at it for almost 2 years. I'm waiting for the final print proofs to make sure things look good before the "official" 1/31 launch date. I vibe coded the book website over the holiday break - https://sector36.space/ I've been serializing chapters on Substack - https://sector36.substack.com/
