My #weekendproject was finished way earlier than expected.
The problem:
The strap of my messenger bag has an adjustable strap. The moment I want to put the bag down 2/3 times my long hair gets caught in the buckle.The solution:
Cut out a small strip from an old shirt, sow in rubber bands and close the loop around the strap. Now I have a guide for my hair to slide over.
Really happy with the result. I should have gotten earlier into sowing as a hobby.Duct tape might also have worked. 😅

5 more apps that feel illegal to know
Round 2 of the classic: Stirling-PDF (kills Acrobat's $240/yr), Karakeep, Wallabag, Headscale, Kavita. Lesser-known, genuinely great, all free and open-source. Save the list — these are the ones people gatekeep.

Ah, yet another thrilling guide on writing a Lisp interpreter in Python—because who doesn't want to spend their weekend reinventing the wheel while pretending to understand Alan Kay's analogy? 🤓🔧 It’s like watching a cat chase its tail, but with more parentheses and less purpose. 🐈⬛🔄

Our (multi) #weekendproject is going great. It's also way more fun than expected. My first large scale sowing project 🥰
Next Weekend our #hackspace @bytewerk is going camping at the river Altmühl. We expect a lot of mosquitos attempting to eat us alive 🥺
Clearly we *need* to do some #upcycling out of 2 broken igloo tents to sow a gigantic igloo mosquito net.
It has a height of 2.95m and a floor space of 3.75m x 3.75m. It will fit 10 people and a table for our favorite social deduction game. -
Last weekend I played a bit around with the #hermes_agent and I directed some LLMs to generate a platform gateway plugin for #deltachat.
I got a bit carried away and now it even supports calling you 📞
and generating small #webxdc mini-apps. 🧩If you also want to communicate with your Hermes Agent over DeltaChat, here is the repo: https://github.com/Simon-Laux/hermes-deltachat-platform

🎉 Franz is turning 10 and we get an "exclusive" founder's note that makes watching paint dry seem thrilling. 🚀 Ten years of a weekend project ballooning into something that...well, only the founder seems excited about. But hey, Franz 6 is here, everyone! Get ready to ignore it all over again! 🙄

Ah yes, the infinite jest of simulating infinity—because who doesn’t want to spend their weekend coding cell-based existential crises in C++? 🤔💻 Clearly, Ryan Keane cracked the mystery of life, the universe, and everything, but only after an intense weekend crash course in C. 🚀🔄

For weekend project, I wrote a VidCutter app. The whole idea was to have kind-of-videoplayer that'll let me watch the video file and mark two points (start and end) and then create a new video file with only selected fragment of original file.
Technically you can use any video editing tool but I'm not aware of single one that can do this without performing re-encode, which is waste of time and electricity.
My solution - written in Lazarus-FPC - uses FFMpeg with copy "codec" so it's near instant (or "as slow as your storage medium") and DirectShow for video preview.
And use case? I keep archival recordings of interesting moments from my car's dash cam and they're in 3 minute segments, each takes around 650MB (it's 1920x1080 @ 30fps at 28Mbits/s bitrate) so my collection quickly grew to over 80 gigabytes of videos. And actually interesting is probably 1/5 of that, if not less. VidCutter will help me quickly throw away unneeded segments and reclaim storage.
Now the question is, is there a "market" for such tool? Is it worth sharing (even if it's only for Windows or anything that can imitate DirectShow)?

Well, I'm finished! #Tutter :tutter: now migrated from an old #Kubernetes cluster with custom built and patched container image to it's own #NixOS vm! 🎉
Hopefully this'll help me maintain it easier, the migration from the old node with the kubernetes was necessary, so at least I tried this!Mental note: I'll need to write a blogpost about this process... So sad, that I still want to migrate my site from #Hugo to something static (manual html + css (maybe + js)) or ssg...

Some more workshop work on the SDG2042X Linux GUI today (got a free Monday): Fixed 5 bugs in this round, including ARB handling on the real instrument, sweep fallback timing, preset handling, and one unsafe input-parsing corner.
I hope GUI is getting a bit less fragile / more reliable.

🎉 Oh joy, another riveting tale of installing #OpenBSD on a Japanese word processor that no one outside of the author's apartment owns! 🎊 Because who wouldn't want to spend their weekend reading about throat clearing, hardware notes, and custom ramdisks for a device more obscure than a hipster's vinyl collection? 😂🔧

I bought the wrong color of grout by accident, but I've been putting off repairing a crack in the shower for weeks now so I just went for it. It was an easier process than I thought it might be, and now my first attempt stands out so I can see it and re-do it in the right color when I need another project.
for now, it should keep water from getting into the wall with any luck.

Oh boy, someone spent an entire weekend reinventing the wheel 🛞 just to find an "OK" color for an image background! 🎨 Because resizing an image to 1x1 pixel and getting mud was too avant-garde for their taste. But fear not, they heroically named their groundbreaking library "Okmain," because apparently "MediocreMain" was too on the nose. 😂

New to me CPU ... what on Earth would compel me to buy a used Haswell chip? I'll tell you what.
For about 3.5 years now I've been running Opnsense on a used I3-4160 Dell SFF PC that I bought for like $30 shipped. It's worked great. Except when the heat is on or it's hot outside. Then it's noisy AF.
Hoping that replacing the 54W chip with a 35W chip will make a difference. And some fresh thermal paste won't hurt either.

Weekend project done. It's a simple but quite useful thing when testing or developing a new piece of hardware - a simple way to provide 4 digital or PWM outputs (or inputs) with direct hands-on control. I needed something like this many times and always ended up using either a power supply or some temporary hack with a devboard.

Happy new year! Anyone running a #GhostBlog (version 6) #selfhosted with #ActivityPub enabled? That was my latest #weekendproject. Unfortunately, the ActivityPub part is giving me quite a bit of trouble right now. It sort of works, but it’s pretty rough and/or #buggy. For example, I can’t delete messages/posts that I postet to the Fediverse. Has anyone gathered some #experience with this?
