#973ive been slowly working on my ideas for a proper second gen multi device harness that i want to be in the same quality regime as sublime text. unclear if theres a viable commercial market (and for a variety of reasons around user security and reliability thinking mebe saas). at the very least i want nice things for me.

#974Lots of things!
- Wanted to start blogging. So built an SSG for that.
- Have an ink tank printer that must be used a few times each month or bad things happen. Have been printing Sanskrit stories instead of test pages. Was manually building booklets with typst and then using pdfimpose. Finally, decided to write an app that does MD -> booklet.
- Decided that running harnesses directly on my machine is a bad idea. Docker/Podman are too complicated for the task at hand. So I built Adamant. It started out as a basic wrapper around Bubblewrap. Then I added networking via a socat proxy. Now it can do this:[1]
# Runs a webserver inside the sandbox that is accessible from outside
adamant --profile minimal prepare -- ls sh fish ncdu fastfetch uname mkdir python echo
adamant --profile minimal probe -- python 'print("Hello, World!")'
adamant --profile minimal run --ingress 45678:45678 -- fish -c "mkdir -p /tmp/www; echo 'Hello, World!
' >> /tmp/www/ index.html; python -m http.server -b 127.0.0.1 -d /tmp/www 45678"
# Runs headless Firefox inside the sandbox and takes a screenshot
adamant --profile ff prepare -- ls sh uname mkdir fish firefox
adamant --profile ff probe --timeout 60 --host bhashika.org.in -- curl https://bhashika.org.in
adamant --profile ff probe --timeout 60 --host bhashika.org.in -- firefox --headless --no-remote --screenshot https://bhashika.org.in
# screenshot.png is produced in $PWD
adamant --profile ff run --host bhashika.org.in -- firefox --headless --no-remote --screenshot https://bhashika.org.in
- Building a language learning product for Indic languages. Monetization is difficult due to the tiny market plus self-imposed restrictions like "only serious learners/readers need to pay." Only time will tell if it works out.
- My Python-replacement VM+PL project is on a bit of a hiatus. Will probably revisit it in a couple of months. Had made a lot of progress in April till I decided to expand the scope and got burnt out. Never do that.

#975I’m working on an open source platform similar to Grok Bot: https://github.com/regnull/openbot
Think of it as a synthesis of AI bots and actor model. For now I have a self hosted version where you can run a bunch of bots talking to each other.

#979I'm working on Umamo(https://www.umamo.org/)! It's FOSS cross-platform rigging editor for 2D puppet animation built as a drop-in replacement for the Live2D Cubism Editor. It's fully compatible with Live2D's CMO3 and MOC3 file formats so it works within the existing Cubism market share.
Live2D is the company that makes the editor and runtime for many game and vtuber(virtual YouTuber) applications. They have a monopoly on the market and I want to change that. Their application is slow, buggy, and a monthly paid subscription to keep using it along with perpetual licensing costs to use the runtime.
Umamo is in the early alpha stage right now, but I'm planning for a Christmas release of an end user workable experience.
I'm preparing the v0.3.0 release today. It's a big release that adds the full pipeline for ingesting layered artwork, texture atlas packing and editing, and more.

#980I’m working on translating the Renaissance — it was mostly written in Latin and 90% of it has never been translated to English. Even big names, like Ficino, Durer, Kircher, Fludd and Drebbel. And that’s Latin— things much more sparse in other classical languages. https://SourceLibrary.org is a hub that now provides over 20,000 translations of classical texts in dozens of languages (Latin and Greek but also Chinese, S…
It's a great endeavor. I put it at the bottom of my new search hub https://search.future-secured.com
I would just make sure all the titles can be clearly seen when superimposed over the pictures. Looks like a pressing matter to fix.
I actually liked the original https://archive.sacred-texts.com/ site because it's so fast and lightweight and classified by religions. I would also look at classification by languages. Is that being done at present?
I started a conversation about interfaces here if interested. https://share.gemini.google/ciOqbMFyCpBv
