Biodiversity & climate platform that takes care of your plants.

Online part mostly done at https://www.meso.cloud/plants/, currently building glass grow box and light prototypes that will be driven by it.

During the day I run Facebook ads for an apparel brand. On nights & weekends I'm trying to automate my job: https://www.staticads.ai/ :)

Trying to solve for tracking decisions, rather than issues, so that me & my coding AI buddy stay aligned with what I've decided previously:

Currently dogfooding and evaluating whether it helps in the long term or not.

I already posted in this thread, but then I remembered a few months ago I had posted about my ISP + web host project. [1]

Since then, I configured all the hardware (switches, router, server, bastion host, etc), put it in a real colo, and am doing BGP with one upstream (with a second upstream and some peers on the way). This means I'm officially part of the internet! E.g. https://bgp.tools/as/55078

I'm just working on some BGP and network hardening stuff, then I'll start putting real live services on the server. And in parallel, I'm working on getting the link from my home to the colo active, so I can be my own home internet provider.

How did you receive your ipv4 /24 subnet?
abound 2 hours ago||
My /24 came from ARIN's NRPM 4.10 block [1]. Basically, you can get a /24 if you'll use it to help IPv6 adoption, which is what I'm doing: my web hosting service will offer shared IPv4 and dedicated IPv6 (like Fly.io does), and same for the ISP - CGNAT for the IPv4, dedicated IPv6 subnets.

Continuing to make fantastic progress on Breaka Club, where we teach kids to code, be creative and make games:

https://breaka.club/blog/why-were-building-clubs-for-kids

The recent Netflix Games edition of Overcooked with K-Pop Demon Hunters is cool, but not nearly as cool as kids coding and playing their way through Overcooked levels in our custom educational mod for Overcooked:

I'm also maintaining GodotJS, strongly typed TypeScript bindings for Godot, which is used to build the Breaka Club RPG (see first link):

https://github.com/godotjs/GodotJS

And last week I also put together the first release of MoonSharp in ~10 years; Lua runtime for Unity. That's not for Breaka Club though, I also consult for Berserk Games on Tabletop Simulator:

One month ago, I purchased this small eink reader (Xteink 4) and I've been loving reading on that device. It made me read much more in the past month (already more than 50% through Fall or Dodge in Hell).

The stock firmware is horrible but the community has this firmware called CrossPoint. I wanted to be able to upload, manage files etc. from my iPhone on the go and also send over web articles. So I build this app CrossPoint Sync https://crosspointsync.com to do just that.

I've already published it on App Store and pending publishing on Android. The community is niche and has also been using the app, so its been fun building for my use and in turn also getting good feedback from community.

If you are using the Xteink and CrossPoint firmware, then give the app a try.

iOS App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/crosspoint-sync/id6758985427

I made an idle version of the 1999 MMORPG "EverQuest". There's maybe around 50 people playing at any given time and has a enthusiastic discord group for it. It's relatively fully-featured to the original game, and has a lot of new mechanics to make the idle format work well. The 3D graphics aspect of it is really more of a screensaver, though, and all game interactions are done through menus.

I recently converted a bunch of stuff to be client side instead of server side (turns out running a real-time MMORPG server is expensive) so there's a new round of bugs I'm still resolving, but it's still fun to play:

I'm working most of my time on nao [1] (an open-source analytics agent).

With nao we are exploring the fact that agents are good to work with filesystems, so we help people getting the context into the filesystem and then you can plug our agent loop on top (on anything else).

The most exciting part is working with sandboxes and emulating filesystems. So at the moment the filesystem is local, but it could be a bucket or a database that we emulate as real filesystem for the agentic loop, all of this can also be mounted to sandboxes, and in the end you can do data transformations all in isolation with control on the context.

Hi HN, I am still working on Circuitscript, a language based on python to describe electronic schematics: https://circuitscript.net/. A basic IDE (called the Bench) to try Circuitscript is available online: https://bench.circuitscript.net/

In the past month, as suggested by the previous user, I have added support for kicad schematic libraries. The kicad schematic libraries files are converted into circuitscript format and can be directly imported into circuitscript code. To support the large number of components in the kicad libraries, I had to improve the import functionality and also implement some caching to speed up the imports. With the kicad schematic libraries available now, it provides a larger library of components that can be used in circuitscript projects. The converted libraries can be found here: https://gitlab.com/circuitscript/kicad-libraries

The motivation for creating Circuitscript is to describe schematics in terms of code rather than graphical UIs after using different CAD packages extensively (Allegro, Altium, KiCAD) for work in the past. I wanted to spend more time thinking about the schematic design itself rather than fiddling around with GUIs.

Please check it out and I look forward to your feedback, especially if you are also exploring alternative ways to create schematics. Thanks!
