I made a daily word game!

This is sixhints, the goal is to guess a thing through a series of 6 clues that start ambiguous and get more specific as you go.

If this is up your alley, play today's word and let me know what you think! 🔗 sixhints.com

Bit of a delay on the next YouTube video coming out

I've released my first Go application!

It's a (very basic) terminal video editor that uses ffmpeg and whisper to let you selectively choose which lines from a video you want to keep.

You can also preview each line with a pop-up video player!

It's called tsplice:

I now have a map, and stick a pin in anytime someone pings me with a message that says a location

Completely forgot to mention it here, but I've hooked up my receipt printer to a public website through a Raspberry Pi and Cloudflare.

You can send me a message, and it'll print out immediately on my desk!

This single index.html page I threw together for a meme has been viewed almost a million times in the last week.

Absolute insanity and I've loved every minute.

This is the single worst UI that I interact with on an almost daily basis

It's great when you finally stumble across a name for a particular aesthetic.

Anyway, I think I'm in love with cassette futurism.

I have a little buddy living on my shelf now.

Wait til you see what he can do!

This weekend I built my own "autonomous coding agent" that works in the background and generates PRs when an issue gets added to one of my repos.

Oh, and it's a single ~500 line long PHP file.

Video coming soon!

I'd be okay with us going back to being a British colony if it meant I could get these on a regular basis

Uh oh I've been light mode pilled

An ice cream maker is so worth it.

Here's last night's experiment: blueberry graham cracker

One of the biggest disappointments is the loss of detailed manuals for consumer products.

Look at this manual for my Sony TV from 1972.

That’s an entire exploded view of every component in the television along with individual part numbers (with pricing on the next page!)

My gf and I bought a cheap film camera from a thrift store and I can't express how fun it's been to take random pictures with it.

Found these thermal labels and it’s opened up a whole new set of possibilities for the receipt printer

Gotta use the appropriate language when something like this slips through
