A colleague lent me a book with various yoga poses a few weeks ago and it has massively improved how I feel. Currently I'm working on digitizing it by creating an application where you can choose a pose, and it will be shown on your screen. I never made gui apps with GTK before, so it's a nice learning experience.

I made a multi-effects guitar pedal that is open source hardware and software
I've been working on my rendition of the Super Smash Bros Ultimate theme on piano in my spare time from work. This recording isn't perfect but this was recorded literally right before a string snapped and scared the hell out of me! I've been uploading to TikTok since I'm self taught and no one ever really gets to hear me play and I'm self conscious about it. So I'm trying to put myself out there more to get over my self consciousness!
I've also been working on creating a mock Transmission server so I can create a good demo for my side project Similar to the idea behind k9s, I've been building a rust-based TUI to manage all your standard . I'm calling it Managarr. I'm working on getting this demo done and then I'll be implementing CI/CD. Once I can get this thing into alpha I'll open it up for contributions since I'm changing code all the time at the moment and it would just be merge conflict hell. Here's some screenshots!
I've been learning blender and a bit of Unity for the past two months to make Vrchat avatars. I'm currently trying to learn uv mapping so I can finally give my avatar some textures.
I'm working on a system which allows people to get synchronized/coordinated reminders about anything on a daily basis. It's just a Rust library ATM, but I might make it into a website or an app eventually (or someone else can, since the algorithm is like 10 lines of code and in public domain). https://github.com/TypicalHog/randevu
What does this thing solve? Imagine a game (perhaps obscure/dead one) you and some other people really like, but there's never enough people playing it at the same time for it to function (imagine it's a multiplayer game). People could add the game to the list and the game would be featured to everyone who has it on their list of items on the same days. Let's say once a month or once a year etc. This would allow people to all come play/appreciate/discuss the game on the same days instead of each person randomly remembering it and playing it alone on random days when no one else is. The system also works for movies, videos, books, websites, people, servers and literally ANYTHING else. It also works offline with no internet connection. The system assigns each item a "significance" value each day. Values range from 0 to infinity and each value happens 2 times less often than the previous. For example: 0 happens every single day, 1 about every 2 days (on average), 2 every 4 days, 3 -> 8, 4 -> 16, 5 -> 32 and so on. So imagine a system assigned value 5 to some game today. Every single person who has set their "reminder/significance" threshold to 5 or below for that game will get a reminder about it. And if enough people do so - one can expect that game to have surges of activity every now and then (when its significance number is high). The system essentially "scoops up" everyone who's interested in something and directs them towards it on the same days. I'm sorry if this is confusing, but the system is actually super simple, I just might be bad at explaining it.
Here's a visual analogy:
Imagine if each object had a board like one in the picture. The system throws a dart randomly somewhere on the board for each object every day. The section where the dart lands determines the level of significance that's assigned to that object. Note that the dart lands on completely different place for different objects like MINECRAFT, XONOTIC and THE_MATRIX_1999. But, for each person using the system, the dart will land on the exact same spot for the same item. So if a dart lands on the section with the number 4 for the object THE_SIMPSONS - every single user who has THE_SIMPSONS on their list will "see" that the dart landed on 4 that day. And like I said - anyone who has their reminder threshold set to 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 will have THE_SIMPSONS featured that day. Once again, the system isn't actually throwing virtual darts on a colorful board and is actually just spitting a single number for each item each day, but this visualization is IMO a good abstraction that explains the system.
This is really fucking cool.
Thank you! I got some mixed feelings from some people when I proposed the use of the system to revive a small Minecraft server I play on, but most commonly, anywhere else where I pitched and posted about the system - it just got completely ignored with no feedback (positive or negative) whatsoever. I can't tell if people don't like the randomness of the system or something or they are just not getting it because I'm (I assume) bad at explaining it.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know that I understand it in full, but I think I’m most of the way there. I think the main thing I’m not quite sure on is if some people would be getting Minecraft alerts, for example, every X days while other people’s settings might be every Y days. Is that the case? If so, there could be fewer people on the X cadence and they might not engage because there aren’t as many people joining.
But again, I might not be fully grasping that part.
I see. Well, let's say some people have their alert set at "level" 4 (2^4 = 16 days) and some have it at 6 AKA 64 days. While the group 4 might be smaller than the group 6 and they might not have much luck finding others online when it's RDV4 - about every 4th time they will meet the group 6 because 64/16 = 4 and as I mentioned above, every higher level alert always includes any lower ones AKA every time it's RDV6 - it's also RDV5, RDV4, RDV3, RDV2, RDV1 and RDV0. So, if you have your reminder threshold at 4 not finding enough people online - you could either bump it up to 5 or 6 (which are guaranteed to be larger (tho rarer)) or you could leave it at 4 and just ignore the alerts unless they are 6+ for example. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need me to clarify or re-explain something as I would be more than delighted to do so. :D
I know StevenBlack provides a docker image, but I've always wanted a nifty program to generate hosts files. I've been working on that. Although I'm not good with programming, I'm trying my best.
I’m 3D printing and painting new models for our Frosthaven games. Here’s a picture of the last game we played
And for context, this is what that scenario looks like without my deluxificarion:
I'm ricing my Arch Linux install, again.
Previously, I made a custom status bar implementation using eww widgets, to replace functionality I thought was lacking in the current offerings like waybar, polybar, and the likes. I wanted weather integration, Spotify widget with controls and album artwork display and such, apart from all the regular functionality. So my bar and it's subwidgets were essentially just a huge system of eww widgets.
I've also been using i3 for the last decade at least. But now, I've finally decided to try Hyprland after visiting their website and falling in love with the smooth animations.
So I'm up and running now with an i3-like control scheme using the hy3 plugin. Now I'm exploring AGS as a widget system, which seems much more promising than eww in terms of setup and clear way of doing things and the library is solid and generic enough for my needs/requirements. AGS is also JavaScript so very familiar as I'm a web developer. It also seems much more efficient in terms of resources and CPU cycles.
It's looking great so far and I'm thinking about using waybar as my bar, but we'll see how far that gets me. I might just make a huge widget system again with AGS. It was pretty fun last time, a few years ago.
Ive spent the last few years building an TTRPG system. I think its ready to alpha test.
Ive also been building an apartment in my dads basement. I occasionally ask questions about it, here on the DIY boards.
I host a podcast called Almost Plausible where a couple of friends join me to create movie plots based on ordinary objects. For example, some of our episodes are paper bag, axe, and toilet brush.
You can find it wherever you listen to podcasts, or on the Almost Plausible website.
It's really inspiring to see such a wide range of hobbies in this thread
I'm building a replica of the talking skull from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland.
I've got the skull 3d printed, primed and ready for paint. I picked up a new Arduino and am trying to get it programmed where it can connect to wifi and listen for artnet so I can control it with show control systems/software.
It has been frustrating because if it doesn't update the wifi or whatever frequently enough it will go into a reboot loop. If I keep getting frustrated, I might find a way to use the one with a poe hat instead. It would probably be more reliable, but I'll have to drop a new Ethernet run to where I want it. It will also be a much larger Arduino to hide.
I'm currently trying to start an online business selling puzzles. It's taking up my every waking second I'm not spending with my daughter.
Starting a business is exhausting...
FYI the first image on your page says “Boadlore”
The puzzles are really pretty, hope you are successful
That is very embarrassing, thank you for pointing it out!
No worries, it happens
Whoa those space ones are really cool!
Thank you! I really enjoyed making those ones in particular!
I recently got back into puzzles; you have some really great ones!
That's awesome! My wife and I got into Puzzles during the pandemic so I started designing puzzles I wanted to spend time putting together.
I would love some feedback if there are any I particular you enjoyed!
I'm currently modelling my car using Blender. The screenshots show the progress of approximately 2 weeks (entire weekends and a few hours after coming home from work). Some parts are created rather fast, and some parts take hours to get the shape correctly. Worst part in that matter ist the front bumper with its fog light. It took almost the whole weekend. The hood was made within an hour, since it has a simpler shape, compared to others.
For reference I use photos, where I do the details by eye measure. To get the general shape I traced the views (front, back, side, above) from drawings of the cars manual using Affinity Designer beforehand. This alone took me over one week, beause I only could do it after work.
Wow! That's some dedication. Why are doing it? Is it to get better at Blender or another reason?
Thank you. Why am I doing it: I re-discovered Blender a couple of months ago and followed the famous Donut-Tutorial. After that I made some minor things, then I modelled and animated my Laptop, and now I'm challenging myself with a bigger project with more complex shapes. And boredom.
I'm working in the Architecturial field, so I know how to work in 3D in general. In architecture, however, I need to consider all kinds of measurements correctly - that is someting I dont't need to do in Blender for an extent. I just enjoy the build.
I tried Blender before (I think it was Version 2.x) but in the end it didn't work out for me. Meanwhile the software got better.
Back when I still studied (couple of years ago) I did some renderings using Cinema 4D, since we had it on some universities computers. But I didn't model anything in C4D. I had a CAD Software, which wasn't that capable of 3D back then, but one could draw precicely. For the 3D stuff I used Sketchup. I could interchange the files (mostly dxf files) between the programs. For renderings I imported a 3DS-file into C4D and put textures on it. Our software at work is capeable of creating rendered images.
My goal is to import the car model into our architecture software at work and sneak it into a rendering.

I'm developing a videogame where you have to grow to become the largest organism on you planet, as a colony of trees. Inspired by Pando on earth. I work part time and alone, so it's slow going. Full release planned in 3y.
I’m trying to finish our home remodel. Currently I’m on adjusting the windows as we added 20cm of insulation;
Nice view! Curious, what kind of insulation you're adding? To the interior it exterior?
Due to restrictions from the city we had to do interior :-/ So we also re-did the electrical wiring and the heating as we were anyway redoing most of the walls.
The exteriors went through a lot with the heavy machinery that we had to rent for some of the work and I’m looking into how to best save it. It was definitely better looking 2 years ago …
It's not something I can take a picture of but I'm starting my own handyman bussines. I have no idea what I'm getting into and I'm scared. I just feel like I have to do it nevertheless because the alternative is to go back to my old job and I already know what that is like.
