Домашние pet-полезности: моя история в программах, которые я создавал

Прочитал воспоминания о старых программах , которые в большинстве своём потеряли актуальность. В комментариях вспоминали про хранилища подобных программ на дисках. У меня, помнится, была целая коробка из-под зимней обуви, которую я набил старыми дисками и оставил рядом с мусорными баками. Там было разное: от семи фильмов ужасов на одном DVD до болванок с нарезанным полезным софтом. Но одним лишь кем-то созданным софтом эти болванки не ограничивались. Там было немало и собственных pet-проектов, которые создавались для всяких разных нужд. О некоторых сейчас вам расскажу. Заранее прошу прощения за скриншоты. Часть текстов в современной системе со слетевшей кодировкой. Но зато ещё работают. Свести олдскулы

I wonder what I should for pet-project-grade self hosting for web apps.

I've been using #Dokku on the existing Hetzner server, which makes simple things certainly simple, but it has its limits and found a handful of annoying bugs over the last ~year I've been using it.

Keen to shop around for something else that uses containers and is still simple enough for simple things, but isn't as much as an overkill like Kubernetes.

Anyone has recommendations?

🔍 Ah, the quintessential "fancy title for a pet project" strikes again. Who knew that mashing characters together from #Shakespeare could lead to such groundbreaking nothingness? 💥 Because clearly, the world was just waiting for code that's as tiny and useless as the Bard's unused napkin scribbles. 📜🤖

Wondering if I should give Orinoco Flow from #enya a go again and try to finish it and add some proper harmonies .. (not to mention the rest of it) #singing #mastodaoine #choir #harmonies #petprojects #song

I spent 6 weeks building a “tap NFC card → play music” system. Could’ve just used Alexa in 30 seconds. 🤷‍♂️

Sometimes overengineering is the point. 🐰⚡

Home alone. To-do list:
🧺 Laundry
🧹 Clean rooms
🐕 Walk dog
🐈 Feed cat
💡 …wait, I have TIME TO CODE?!
“I’ll just fix one tiny bug.”
4 hrs later: new pet project; actual pets filing status reports.

A good friend once said: "Why don't you make a single #Discord server for all of your projects?".

I wisely answered: "I don't need it."

Now I've made it: https://discord.gg/TeAWvnuGku

It's just the bonus day of February and I already have ideas for #petProjects for the rest of the year.
How do people manage to focus on just one interesting idea per unit of time?

The Blender Conference might be over, but the Studio contributions are still accessible! Take a look at the different talks listed in this recap. 🍿

What magic did the Studio team use to make 'Wing It!' look so charmingly cartoony? 🖍️ Technical Artist Simon takes you through the process. The first article of a series explaining what goes on behind the camera, so to speak.
Ready? Go! ▶️

Humanity and the universe is a simulation created as a pet project by a bored programmer.

And we all know what happens to #PetProjects...

closing a bunch of open tabs in my code editor; maybe that will help regain some mental spoons, as well as make me feel like #coding again?
Haven't written any code for weeks, and I'm starting to miss it. Got stuck in several of my #PetProjects, and don't quite know anymore where I left things off and what I was planning to do.

Updated my list of #PetProjects and the #SeriesFiXatoWatches / #FilmsFiXatoWatches lists on my What is FiXato currently doing? #NowPage. :)

(and if that isn't enough, or I get tired of each of them, there's plenty more to work on: https://fixato.org/now.html)

#projects #petProjects #PassionProjects #ScratchYourOwnItches

Since I haven't had the motivation lately to work on finishing my #blog, I've at least made a separate export of the #Now page I made for it: https://fixato.org/now.html

In it I try to list the various #PetProjects I switch between, as well as films and series I have recently watched or am watching.

#personal #coding #ScratchYourOwnItches #NowPage

And with that, the #code for #Mastoffline, my in-development personal #Mastodon client using #MastodonPy and #Kivy, has been published to #SourceHut: https://git.sr.ht/~fixato/Mastoffline

It's far from done, but I felt the code had matured enough from a simple proof of concept to see if Kivy was a suitable #Python #GUI library for me, to one of my #ScratchYourOwnItches #PetProjects that I will slowly work on when I feel like it, to warrant its own repo.

#coding #PetProject

Also updated the text of my #NowPage with some more short descriptions of #coding #PetProjects I am working on, even though the #Blog project it is part of, still is work in progress...

My #Notes #browserExtension for #Chrome is probably one I still use the most...
Should probably clean it up a bit more and actually release it as-is feature-wise, as well as port it to #Firefox.
(Though I would like to add multiple tabs to it, and column resizing isn't as smooth as I'd like...)

I primarly use it to copy/paste frequently used #symbols and other #specialCharacters, somewhat sorted by category, into documents. :)

#coding #petProjects #ScratchYourItches

got started on the #Now page for my #blog / site, but as my SO's has to go back to work tomorrow, I unfortunately can't stay up all night anymore to work on it, especially since her first post-vacation day is exceptionally early...

It's a good way at least to get a list of #petProjects and what their current states are.
