My Math Homework Generator. It's low risk since I'm hosting it on github and I work on it from time to time to create practice worksheets for my kids. I get a lot of visits from China and Taiwan. It's fun too.

#612I'm working on a gif making website: https://gifmemes.io . My plans for the future are implementation of wasm ffmpeg and supporting videos also. I wouldn't say i don't care about the success, but my friends and I use it enough to keep me motivated.
I remeber this being posted on HN but I could never find it again, so that's for posting it! Are you planning on enabling exports in webp/mp4?
It was a top comment on a submission of someone making 5000 USD/month with a gif making app.

#613https://flat.social - a fun video conferencing app where meeting attendees can fly around and speak with others around them. While I do care about the outcome, I work on it regardless. It's a lot of fun from a technical point of view and I keep meeting amazing people through it.
This is very cool. How is progress going? What is usage like?
Thanks! I've been on it solo since last year. Progress from the product side is going pretty well but still a lot to do and optimise! Usage wise, it's in experimentation phase so the pattern is rather spiky ranging from silent days to sudden influxes of traffic.

I was thinking about something similar. Use wasm ffmepg to convert video into avi format (most size efficient). Since it's done on client side, you don't exhaust all server resources.
I have created a poc of that and it works. I did not include it because at the time, I've had user accounts through firebase and it did not work with a header required for ffmpeg. Quite an odd issue. :D It was something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69179866/firebase-auth-i...

Good cause according to who? The OP? You? How about the other people that have received and live with judgements from this official? And sorry, but social engineering is pretty unethical if you ask me, and has nothing to do with the name of the site.
Exposing a corrupt judge is among the most noble goals a citizen can have. The more incentive judges have to act fairly, the better. I am not sure you read the story correctly. But I'm pretty sure a judge will get due process - not abusive penalties.
People have been using "the ends justify the means" to justify all sorts of unethical behavior, not the least of which includes torture, genocide, and wars. Let's not go down that ethical reasoning wormhole.
As for his story, my read on it must be much different from your own. Because from what I am seeing, this is far more about the judge's husband than anyone else, and it is to right a sense of personal injustice than a (still misguided) aim of doing what's best for everyone else. Oh, and he's doing it for fun (his words).

You interpret this as an ultimatum, I see offering them a way out as being nice. At the same time one has to assert seeing through obvious b-s. What is appropriate gets decided by lawmakers not judges. Once judges willfully violate the code they have stepped outside their assigned role. This quickly became more of a political problem than a legal one, and what is right is ultimately for voters to decide. Whether I am…
You can try to wordsmith and twist the logic all you want. Telling someone “resign and do what I want, or else” is an ultimatum and bordering on blackmail. It is an ultimatum that is directly counter to your stated goal as well, which to “allow the voters to decide”. That’s you deciding for them.
I did not ask her or any judge to resign. This was a proposal to the prosecutor's office prior to filing any of the serious charges and triggering certain events then required from them by law.
Unlike public officials I was fully within my rights to first seek a more politically tenable solution.
There is no doubt everyone involved is fully aware of the situation, although people won't admit to it.

what is your goal for this land? You are looking for help but in what? Creating more art?
Help in ...selling it as land art, the goal was to make a garden in the style of permaculture, pfaf.org , plants for a future is a good example of stuff I wanted to plant, it's transformed pasture land into an "ecotopia"... ultimately it was a productive use of my time as while digging it manually I processed a lot of reading material in my head and had a healthy lifestyle. I think creating such gardens could be a ma…

Ugh, your story literally changes and is moving the goal posts. So now it was the prosecutors who made the decision? Not that an indirect threat is any better, but here's your previous description: "I did offer each offender a second chance, as I thought they might have learned from this. They chose not to take it."
To each their own, do what you gotta do - but I stand by my original opinion on your actions.
