Hey Level1’rs.
Now that we are cooped up, we can no longer procrastinate home and personal projects.
Pics are preferred; supplies & goals, finished product, and/or lists.

This is definitely worth it.
I as well, I’m still trying to work on various projects, but I think I might trigger some of you with pictures of my room
Little time to work on or clean and even less room 8x12ft room does not look pretty
Been working on batocera Machines and a recommended hardware guide, hopefully I’ll get a test setup eventually, I’ve got a lot of potential CPU configurations to test

I’m building userland CRUD applications to beef up my programming chops. I’ve always wanted a “ToDo” app that was console based. So, I’m working on it. I made it in C at first to get better at C shells C shells on the C shell but then I decided to write it in Java because I’m a bit better at Yava than I am C (shells).
Obvs Java does a lot more for you than C, I’d often screw up the D part because I hadn’t allocated enough space. Also
SEG FAULT
if(check_delete == 0)
{
FILE *fptr;
FILE *tmp_ptr;
char *item;
unsigned long i;
unsigned long compared_item;
fptr = fopen("todo.dat", "rb");
tmp_ptr = fopen("temp.dat", "wb");
if(fptr == NULL)
{
printf("Cannot open file.\n");
return 1;
}
for(i = 0; i < sizeof(fptr); i++)
{
item = malloc(250);
if(fgets(item, 250, fptr) != NULL)
{
compared_item = atoi(argv[2]);
if(compared_item != i + 1)
fprintf(tmp_ptr, "%s", item);
}
free(item);
}
fclose(fptr);
fclose(tmp_ptr);
rename("temp.dat", "todo.dat");
}
Anyway. Learned a lot about strcpy and strncpy. The man pages were INSANELY useful.
int check_usage = strncmp(argv[1], "help", 4);
int check_add = strncmp(argv[1], "add", 4);
int check_list = strncmp(argv[1], "list", 4);
int check_delete = strncmp(argv[1], "delete", 4);
void help(void)
{
printf("usage: ./todo cmd item | list\n");
printf("cmd: add, delete\n");
printf("item: Todo to do\n");
printf("list: list current todos\n");
}
Also writing a novel. It’s pretty lame at this point, still in the first draft. About a hax0r breh that gets tied up in the Mafia. Falls in love with the Don’s daughter, she gets caught in cross fire, and he uses his InfoSec, military, and organized crime resources to take down the opposing force.
Like I said, first draft, so STFU until I’m at the ComicCon panel 
This is the softcore porn equivalent to the protagonist rekt’ing some poor sobs Winderz computer. I have some technical stuff in there, but mostly about phones, encryption, things like that. Most of the story is about sweet vengeance through armed force.
Inspiration came from The Sopranos, Man on Fire, Law Abiding Citizen, Mr. Robot (the non-aspy version), Daemon, and a few other sources. Hard to name them all.
I did start the road toward kernel development, but it’s becoming mainstream now that @SgtAwesomesauce is involved, so I’m going back to back-end dev 
Building a new forum that’s not PHP and not Ruby. It’s not Go either, which would have been exciting I guess.
It’s nothing right now, still needs a lot of work. Front end is pretty and authentication works, but I need to get Postgres and/or Redis going. Also going to have side channels in a Discord fashion outside of the message board format. Arrgh, it’s insane. I thought building a forum would be easy lol. Mad rep to the Discourse and CPanel/PHP folks. Lot of work has gone into it.
