Self hosted media platform with similarity search, face search and clustering, a great fun media player with shuffle, VS mode where you rank your media resulting in an elo, remote access to app over the web, a TikTok style "swipe" mode of your own media. Started as just a good media viewer over 5 years ago but I just keep adding things. Has a small patreon following so people seem to like it. https://lowkeyviewer.com/

I'm working on leveraging NLP and LLM techniques to create a geometry over the discrete space of Ethereum transaction execution structure. (sorry... it's a bit of a mouthful)

The goal is to find on-chain structural anomalies, as well as seeing if clustering by behavior has emergent semantic properties

apt-cacher-ultra: To help reduce the impact of future DDoSes of Ubuntu. Just released 1.0 yesterday after working on it a couple months.

As that DDoS was going on I realized that some of our dev and staging processes were impacted by it, and that apt-cacher-ng was doing nothing to help us.

apt-cacher-ultra snapshots the repo meta-data after verifying it, and only promotes it if the metadata all checks out. Additionally, it can optionally keep a list of "hot" packages, and can include those in the snapshot calculation.

Additionally, apt-cacher-ng would regularly choke and require some handholding. I'm hoping -ultra resolves that as well.

I've been throwing together some web-playable retro arcade games:

Rally-X: https://linsomniac.github.io/rally-xy/

Tempest: https://linsomniac.github.io/teapot/

Dig-Dug: https://linsomniac.github.io/digger/

And not an arcade game, but a multi-player throwback to a multiplayer shooter game my team used to play called nSnipes: https://github.com/linsomniac/isnipes

iSnipes does require downloading and running a server, the others you just play on the web.
