Hello world, new blog
purpose: to not crowd my main/mutuals with code posts, save tips and resources & motivate me to work on my personal projects. I need an internship so I really have to get grinding at my projects.
Also to make coding friends maybe (◕_◕)

i want to make something cool and fun right now, but that would have to fall perfectly inside the venn diagram of "What is fun and rewarding enough to create that i would want to program instead of watching netflix and eating popcorn?", and "what falls within my skillset after not doing any type of development in 6 months and not even opening a real IDE in over a year" and i fear that intersection is SLIM :/
I haven't been talking a lot my home server, among other things, because it's been working well and I haven't had time to do a lot of experiments with it. it has gone down a couple times (one of them because I cut the power to my flat and forgot to stop it properly beforehand), but basically, I do not have a lot of news!
I had the idea of using a smart switch to charge the laptop automatically, but since I figured out how to take its battery out that has gone really down in my list of priorities. I still have a few other things that I want to try, once I have the time:
I have a new lava lamp whose instructions says that it shouldn't be on for longer than 9 hours at a time, so I want to program a smart switch to handle that for me.
I want to figure out how to synchronise my logseq to-dos with HA's native to-do lists. I feel like it should be possible to hack something up by using syncthing to transfer logseq pages to the server and using a python script to extract the tasks from them.
I, uh, still need to improve my backup management. I have found a HDD that I can plug permanently to the laptop and it should be easy to tell HA to store the backups on the HDD.
I have code-server installed in order to facilitate editing the HA files, but right now I can only use it on the host laptop itself. I have tried to forward the port so I can access it from any device on my LAN, but I still haven't figured it out 😢
in general I feel like I could do really awful things to HA by uploading things to it with syncthing. I use logseq heavily for knowledge and project management, and since its files are plain text, I think that one could have lot of fun with python scripts that look for particular patterns on them.
This game, about listing as many animals as you can, is shockingly well-considered and polished for such an apparent shitpost of a game idea
hot new brain workout
if you're conscientious about web design you try your best to make your pages accessible, in particular by paying attention to clarity and visual contrast; there have been many resources written to make sure text and interactive elements aren't too small and don't blend into their surroundings too bad.
this is unfortunately at odds with web browser developers, who blithely update their scroll bars to be at most like 5% grayer than their background (chrome) or to make them 3 pixels wide (firefox)
this just isn't acceptable
there are browser settings and CSS that address this to some degree but my issue is with it being a poorly-designed default for everyone. firefox narrowing its scrollbars also left a nasty gap in Cookie Clicker's interface that took me a while to fix - and it doesn't let you modify scroll bar appearance as much as chrome does. in general modifying browser UI is fickle, unstable and not to be relied on but you have to do what you can. here's how Cookie Clicker and Neverending Legacy currently look in chrome with my custom CSS:

if you're a software dev and worried about AI stealing your job you shouldn't. every company is paying millions to spit out horseshit code. they'll need hundreds of thousands of engineers in a few years to cleanup the slop that's been produced. skill has never been more important
i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.
A Better World - create an alternate history timeline
Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.
if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
since this post blew up, i've been wanting to do an addition with all of the recommendations from the comments and tags. but there's a lot of them. some people might be crazy enough to sit down and seriously put them all in one post with descriptions. those people are honestly sick in the head.
anyway, here's all of the recommendations from the reblogs. not all of them are text-based, but it's a great mixture of styles. also don't forget the links in the second paragraph of the OP which will take you to FMHY where there are a bunch more games listed.

My whole life has changed throughout the last 2 years and everything kind of hurt & everything kind of stung right into my heart, so i've had a hard time continuing my journey of coding on here.
I'm in year 2 of my apprenticeship, heading to year 3 and i am so very scared. i used to study so much more, but i stopped and now the consequences show. i am anxious whenever it is about proving my skills. i could easily change that. & that's what my journey from now on will be:
get better at coding to make a living out of it!

just heard the phrase "code like no ones watching" and i fear this will now enter my lexicon of questionable motivation advice

project/bokbi-log-6
It’s been five days since I started developing the landing page, and the process has been both productive and genuinely enjoyable. Thank God for the workflow I had already planned — it made a big difference in keeping things moving smoothly from design to live preview.
For people mad in the notes, this is obviously not a mass-produced product
The full interview with the creators is really interesting. Of note (emphasis mine):
Xun started vaping last year, she said, as a way to begin the process of quitting cigarettes. She also has a "bunch of friends who vape," many of whom "are very attached to their vapes." But she's not naive about vaping's well-documented risks, and began to wonder if "gamifying" her nicotine use might help her disincentivize it. In the first iteration of the project, hitting the vape would actually murder the digital pet, and thus would ideally work to guilt-trip the user into not inhaling. "There's a big trend of parental locking yourself," Camacho added. "I'm locked out of certain apps behind a password that Rebecca knows, so I don't scroll Instagram too much. It would be cool if you could have that for nicotine." But then, explained Xun, Camacho "found this Stupid Hackathon. And we were like, it'd be kind of funnier to be evil."
Ok that IS kind of funnier. Good for them
you know what im gonna say it. Youtube search sucks and their filter and sort sucks and why can you still not reverse the order of a playlist like i shouldnt have to have an extension to do something so simple what the heck are they doing
and if i ever get to intern at google or youtube thats number 1 on my to do list
