Compactor is my Windows filesystem compression tool, good for clawing back space wasted by poorly-compressed games without having to faff about with the command line. I have a full rewrite in the pipeline that I’m procrastinating on.

ioztat is basically what zfs iostat would be if it existed — an iostat for ZFS datasets, rather than ZFS vdevs. It was born out of a script from Reddit’s /r/zfs and in a slightly obsessive period I rewrote and expanded it into a pretty capable tool I’m quite proud of.

If you have any experience packaging software for your favourite Linux distribution — well, I’m a FreeBSD user, so please knock yourself out. I’m begging you.

num_threads is a tiny foundational Rust crate, most notably used by time in order to determine if it’s safe to make certain syscalls. I have implementations for Open, Net, and DragonFlyBSD that I’ve been procrastinating on merging, because blessing unsafe code for platforms I don’t use is scary. Moral support is welcomed.

I maintain and develop many GTK themes for Linux, currently working on making them work properly in GTK4 and (hopefully) libadwaita

Here’s a preview of what they look like

I have a few projects I switch between based on how much time I have and where my interests lie.

My most recent is a from-scratch compiler for a made-up language (MIT), Intercept, written in C with no dependencies (apart from libc, of course). I’m really proud of this one, and have even been lucky enough to work with other people on it.

And then there’s my text editor (MIT), which is an homage to Emacs. I just have learned so much from Emacs and like it so much that I had to make my own. At this point it’s got a working SDL2 and OpenGL backend, as well as tree-sitter syntax highlighting, and, of course, is extensible through LITE LISP, the built-in programming language.

Finally, my pride and joy, LensorOS (GPLv3). I started this project when I first started learning C++, and through it I have learned amazing things about how computers actually work, from hardware to kernels to userspace.

Just wanted to say, this is a really good idea for a thread! I really enjoy seeing all these amazing projects from everybody

Few times a week i do some editing or writing comments within OpenStreetMap. I see the whole task as a game, results being implemented & used for people in need. Good feelings afterwards.

Focus on your neighborhood & community, as it continues to change, if you want to participate. Few weeks later changes are implemented into Organic Maps as example.

For the last 6 months I have been working on a completely open flight stick design. Just me working on it. DIY hotas sticks is a pretty damn niche hobby.

6 axis, 32 button, based on the MiG31 design, with a front panel on the base (on this design).

Not the most cost efficient vs quality as everything is 3D printed. Honestly it is my second big 3D modeling design and it was a pretty complicated one to get right. Ran into a lot of FreeCAD bugs. First time working with libopenCM3 also, so much less bloated than STM HAL. Plenty of improvements to come once it is released.

Open hardware with the CERN OHL V2 S and the firmware GPL3.0. Edit: forgot to link it - https://github.com/JustEnoughDucks/LibreMiG-S

Hi Lemmy!

I make BusKill laptop kill cords that make your computer lock, shutdown, or self-destruct if the device is physically separated from you.

This protects your (encrypted) data from theft, which can be useful for digital nomads and cryptotraders working in cafes/coworking spaces. But our target audience is journalists, activists, and human rights workers in oppressive regimes.

Both the hardware and the software are open-source (CC-BY-SA, GPLv3). We manufacture the hardware with injection molding, but if you have a 3D-printer, then you can take a stab at our 3D-printable prototype.

…And apparently I’m doing (minor) contributions to lemmy these days too

An API proxy to allow 3rd party reddit clients to browse Lemmy with only minimal code changes. I’ve got it showing comments now :) Source isn’t uploaded yet, but it will be soon.

When I was sick with Covid in April I built Turbopilot, a weekend hack to get code autocomplete models (like GitHub Autopilot) to run locally on low spec machines using the library behind llama.cpp. The models I used were codegen from salesforce and the idea is that if you’re running these models locally it’s free and you’re not sending your source code back to the microsoft/github mothership.

Since then I’ve not really had time to work on it very much as my day job has been pretty busy but I really want to carry on development. I’ve got experimental nvidia acceleration building and I’m working on shipping a windows version at the moment.

BTW If anyone is interested, I’m looking for some help and I’m willing to offer some technical mentoring (I have a background in AI/ML and a dozen years exp doing software engineering professionally)

I’m the creator of Deus Ex Randomizer and I’ve been working on it a lot. This mod randomizes tons of things in the game like locations of items/keys/goals/enemies/starting locations. It also randomizes passwords that way you actually have to find them just like playing the game for the first time. Stats of weapons, skills, and augmentations are randomized too, and a lot more. We have a trailer video here but it’s about a year old now and we’ve added so much to it since then.

I’ve also made RollerCoaster Tycoon Randomizer, Build Engine Randomizer (as in Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Ion Fury), and StarCraft 2 Randomizer

I’ve also done some work on ScummVM (mostly for The 11th Hour and other Trilobyte games).

I just made a collection of communities for my projects https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

What a nice idea!

My claim to fame is probably OctoPrint, a web interface for consumer 3d printers that I created over a decade ago now and have been maintaining ever since, since 2014 full time and since 2016 also 100% crowd funded. It’s written in Python (backend) and HTML/JS (frontend) and licensed under AGPLv3.
