seriously!

I know there is not point in making shit coins I just want to do it for learning purposes and to use it as "points" in a CTF challenge I am hosting.

I found some videos online but those are using an existing blockchain, is there a way to do it all locally I mean by selfhosting or something? as you can see I have very rough idea about shit coins. so yeah!

feel free to share your shit coins too!

I tried to enter my name "哎满" and it didn't work. I asked in libera chat and they said you can't enter non-ascii chars in IRC, only few IRC instances supports it since it could be easily abused.

Erroneous Nickname: 哎满

yes you heard right, I recently find out that one can use an Android feature called "USB tethering" to get internet through an Android device. which is really cool since now you don't have to worry about your wifi card not working in linux since you can just use your old Android device as wifi access point and have internet. not only it's supported in Linux but it's also supported in BSD world too. this can enable people in trying out distros like Guix, Parabola etc which doesn't provide non-free firmware.

just wanted to share this amazing feature I didn't know :)

Greetings,

I want to trim down my Linux kernel to only support a tty and ethernet card, I don't need any other features, has anyone done something similar of trimming down the linux kernel. I know that "make tinyconfig" exist but it's not what I want.

can anyone suggest me something? or provide me some documentation to do it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I want to create a project showcasing my Cloud platform skills, I don't know what should I host there? I can't just host random open source projects there and call it a day since it will not utilize all the functionality of the Cloud instead it will just utilize a single EC2 instance and that's it.

​I have an idea though, I am thinking about making a youtube video using Java + yt-dlp so basically I will use Java (Spring boot) to create the API and yt-dlp to actually download the videos. It will also cache the videos so it will be utilizing S3 bucket to store/cache the downloaded youtube video so that when another person requests the same video we can just sent the video from the S3 bucked instead of fetching it from YouTube servers. so far this is the thing that came to my mind, This project will utilize EC2 instance and S3 bucket. if anyone has any good idea please do share 🙂

Hello folks,

I have a mini PC which I use to host my website and some lightweight services. The mini PC idles at ~10% cpu usage. I was wondering if I can contribute 90% of CPU to the community. Thinking that maybe I can host other people's websites for free.

How can I do that? Should I host some fediverse software? What do I do with this much processing power?

Thanks in advance!

Hello folks,

I am finding a good static site generator which works on windows 10. I tried hugo which I found too complicated and then tried jekyll which required me to install ruby to run it so I gave up on that too.

is there any other static site generator besides those?

Edit: I found pandoc, it's really good. I can just write posts in Markdown and it will convert it to valid HTML :D

here is my website: https://www.ghodawalaaman.xyz/

Hello,

I am trying to make an anonymous chat website like Omegle. I only know Spring Boot and Thymeleaf which means I have to utilize SSR.

Has anyone made a web app using only SSR? Is it even possible?

Hello folks,

I made a very basic game named 2dBallAnimation, it's using basic vector math in order to make the Animation happen.

there is only 3 classes in the entire app:

• MainActivity.java : it gets executed when the app start
• DefaultScreenView.java : it's responsible to make the animation work by doing vector math
• V2.java : contains the x,y values of a vector and methods for vector addition, subtraction, multiplication, normalization etc..

are you Android dev or Java dev? share your thoughts about the app? feel free to give me some suggestion too.

( this post may seems like it's more related to programming than selfhosting but I wasn't sure so here we go )

Hello folks,

I made a Temp SMS service using Python. I used flask for serving the API and sms-forwarder app ( https://github.com/GreyTechno/sms_forwarder ) to forward messages from a phone to the server.

there is just two end points one is where you get the home page which displays all the incoming messages and another one is used to get the message sent from the phone. it's pretty simple actually...

tell me what you think about it :)

Edit: the service is down since someone is DOSing the service... I will quickly try to block them.
