Custom map maker; can be useful for travel-planning

A “social network” for link recommendation and discovery.

SSH connections between devices without managing SSH keys. (I have been meaning to try Tailscale out as an alternative to Zerotier for some time now. Maybe this will motivte me.)

An intro to complex analysis

Cool commandline utilities served over DNS protocol

uBlock Origin filter to block some spammy copycat sites from Google and DuckDuckGo search results. Similar personal blocklist can be created at https://letsblock.it

An easy-to-understand proof of an utterly counter-intuitive result

Maps of biomedical pathways as posters, that can be serched and filtered.

FOSS DNS hosting. An alternative to Cloudflare that I may consider switching to in future.

App templates for Portainer. Essentially an appstore for selfhosted apps.

An unified API for a lot of “diagram as code” libraries. It’s selfhostable. And there is an unofficial Obsidian plugin. I am exploring it as a means to add figures to my notes without having to attach images.

Littlewood’s Law: in the course of any normal person’s life, miracles happen at a rate of roughly one per month.

Python library for converting Python calculations into rendered latex

A CLI tool or making video supercuts

A ThreeJS-inspired render engine, but for Python, built on top of WebGPU

A guide for intuitive understanding of quaternions. The page is a video, an article and interactive diagrams all at once and different medium sync with each other quite nicely.

Self-updating Github profile with Github Action

WebRTC-powered video chat and screen sharing

“And herein lies my biggest gripe with social media. There is no room for nuance, there is no room for grey. Every interaction is based on reaction alone - reflection is rendered moot, because there will always be another scandal that needs attending to.”

A CLI tool for downloading ebooks. I haven’t had much luck with Calibre’s Libgen extensions. This may come handy.

Pretty math gifs

The selfhosted Airtable clone I was looking for.

A static site generator written in Julia

A not-so-kind take on Urbit

In the decimal system, a square of an integer may only end in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9, whereas twice a square may only end with 0,2,8. So if a²=2b², a must end with 0 and b must end with 5 or 0. This triggers an infinite descent that proves: no solution where a and b both are integers, which implies a/b must be irrational.

A collaborative document writer with some neat features for version control.

In light of the May 2021 cyclone in the Arabian Sea, people are wondering if it happened because of the climate change. Well, here is the deal: it can’t be said if the climate change is responsible for a single event. But it can be estimated if it increases the likelihood of said event. This study shows how the increasing temperature in the Arabian sea is increasing the likelihood of severe cyclones and that explains why we’re seeing them almost every year now, when earlier there used to be none.

Using this and Chemacs, it’ll probably be possible to run multiple specialised emacs configs.

A reminder that there is no dull subject, only uninspired teaching.

A surreal story of a fake wedding.

This is a neat trick and can be applied to all sorts of org files other than agenda.

A JavaScript library for creating interactive/animated diagram/equation/plot

I have recently discovered this channel. Reminds me of 3Blue1Brown.

I need to steal a lot of stuff from this dotfile repo, especially tangleawk.

As I was going through old Reply All episodes, I found one where a man breaks the internet by pulling out his npm package. And I found it on the same day my own site breaks (kinda) because of an npm package update. Talk about serendipity!

A cli tool for writing pipes with instant live preview

Beeper is a unified inbox app, which uses Matrix bridges. The app has a subscription fee. But an ansible script is available for self-hosts to deploy the bridges and those will probably work with other Matrix client. I need to tinker with that at some point.

As much as I like VS Code’s notebook interface, I am going to replace it with Org mode soon™. This is a guide that’s going to help.

If you’re getting exposed, might as well get exposed by Snowden himself.

This is going to save a few extra clicks.

Outrage is like a lot of other things that feel good but over time devour us from the inside out. And it’s even more insidious than most vices because we don’t even consciously acknowledge that it’s a pleasure. — Tim Kreider
