Check out Boards of Canada. Lots of their stuff is like this.

I was ranked #1 in the world for a good while in Pistol Whip. On both PC and PS4, before they separated out all the leaderboards based on modifiers.

Definitely possible – check out emulatorjs. There are a few premade docker containers for it, but they were a bit finicky when I tried them. I eventually just ended up writing a react wrapper for it and have it hosted in a docker container. It works great, and will even play psx games without issue.

Upvoted for BoC

Same. Honestly no issues with react+vite that I haven’t been able to solve.

I managed to get into web-dev without a CS degree, but I definitely consider myself one of the lucky ones.

I got a bachelor’s in Chemistry, but realized very quickly after graduating that there are precisely zero decent paying jobs for a bachelor’s in general chemistry. Literally the only place that even called me back was offering $14/hr to do urinalysis… working the graveyard shift.

I ended up getting a job doing content review as a contractor for the largest video sharing platform (you know the one). A lot of the work was really monotonous, mostly just copying and pasting stuff. We had a quota that once we hit, we could stop working (and still be paid a full day). I could already hit the quota in around 3-4 hours, but I realized if I didn’t have to copy/paste, I could cut that down to only 1-2 hours.

So, in my spare time at work I ended up learning JavaScript and making a chrome extension to do just that. I showed my bosses and they ended up putting me in a full time programming position.

I don’t use my chemistry degree at all, but my math minor definitely comes in handy.

Exact same thing happened to me the other day. Like exactly. Maybe we live in the same area.

I bought a Roland Jupiter 6 synthesizer for $1100 around 14 years ago. Are the time, the price definitely made me flinch. Last I checked, they are going for $8000-$10,000 on eBay.

Plaid is one of my all time favorites! Got to see them a few years back. If you like them, check out an artist called IDGlitch on SoundCloud. Super underrated and the closest thing I’ve heard to plaid:

Programmer here.

Infected Mushroom or Eskimo for when I’m in the zone and pumping out code.

Peyote, San Pedro, the many, many species that contain DMT, khat, just to name a few.

Magical/Sacred plants.

There are very active communities on Reddit for magical/sacred plants and even some for selling/trading them. I mostly collect San Pedro cacti among a few others and would love an active community like that here.

• Fry at 360⁰F for 12 mins
• Flip them and fry again at 360⁰F for 12 mins
• Flip again and fry for 6 mins at 400⁰F

They should come out super crispy but still very juicy on the inside.The one drawback is that it takes a total of 30 mins and you can only make as much as fits in your frier. You really want to have only one layer of wings and not have them laying on top of each other. My frier is fairly small so it’s not something I can make for a whole bunch of people.

Fried chicken.

It’s soo good but not worth the hassle of dealing with all the oil.

Although, I’ve since found that air-fried, if done right, can be just as good.

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.

As ikidd mentioned, definitely speed and access. It’s just a react web-app. There’s no VM required, and it’s not streaming a video capture of a desktop. I’m actually amazed at how performant it is. It loads almost instantly and feels like a regular desktop, even on mobile.

Even with all the windows open in the screenshot and streaming a transcoded video, it still uses less memory than a single open YouTube tab.

One of the main reasons I ended up building a home server was that one of my drives failed in my main PC, and I lost a lot of my data (I know, I know). When I built my server, I intended it to be used as a backup. I was able to recover most of my data, but a lot of the filenames and directory structure were lost. I ended up just dumping all of this onto my server.

I wanted a way to go through all my recovered files and organize them. I needed to be able to play any unnamed music files and name them + put them in the appropriate directory. I also produce music so some of the files couldn’t just be re-downloaded. Similarly with any text/video/pictures/etc.

I’m running Ubuntu server and I can’t watch videos or listen to audio via a shell, so I needed a front end. I initially tried file browser but it was slow and clunky, and I couldn’t have multiple directories open at once for dragging and dropping.

Thanks!

I tried nextcloud initially. It seemed a bit bulky and slow for me, with a lot of extra stuff I wasn’t going to use. I know you can disable features and customize it, but it just wasnt really a good fit for me.

This initially started as an exercise to find out what is possible and see what I could manage to do by myself. As I progressed, I started realizing the possibilities and am so far very happy with how it’s turning out.

I honestly didn’t realize there were so many existing alternatives (orb, ArozOS, etc). However, this is built entirely in react and can therefore load and run any JavaScript/HTML easily as a plugin. I think it’s a bit more modular than the alternatives in that sense.

Either way it’s been a fun project to work on, and it fits my needs exactly how I want.

After seeing all the responses I’ll very likely make it all open source so maybe others can contribute and customize it for themselves. Although I am a bit shy to release my code to public scrutiny lol 😂. I have a bad habit of not leaving comments and I’m sure there are plenty of places where people will point out flaws and wonder why the hell I did x instead of y…
