Welcome to Level1 Devember!

Not sure how much work will be required for this and if it will last to december, but I was planning to start on this now so might as well try to join: project thread. I’m terrible at naming, so no repo yet.

The goal is to make a small web interface to the Nyaa torrent tracker to try organize the mess of releases to make it a bit more convenient.

I will certainly not do anything on Mondays, but I will try to get a little bit work on it each day otherwise. My Github has been very quiet the last two years and I want to try to get back to doing hobby coding a bit more regularly.

My Devember project is to learn the Rust programming language by creating a flight pattern and prediction software. Be sure to lick that like button and smash that subscribe

I see why L1T recommends Linode :wink:

Hi, my name is Max, and I’m a hobby software developer(would like to be a professional sometime), and I really like Lua.
I’ve just created the post for my Devember project, Lua Libraries for crazy bootable devember challenge

As the title might already suggest, my goal is to produce a small, bootable image(for VM’s and real hardware) using buildroot(a toolchain for creating embedded Linux images) that runs a few cool example programs for my Lua libraries.

Specifically, I want a custom window-based GUI, and a simple game, along with some other cool example programs(without using SDL, X11, graphics drivers, image formats other than bitmap, or really anything I haven’t implemented myself, besides the kernel and some core utils).

I’ve implemented a lot of that separately already, in a hacky, ugly way, and I want to do it again(in a maybe less ugly way).

Just posted my devember project on the community blog

I am creating a virtual tabletop for RPGs similar to roll20.

Very nice!

I’ve been brewing a Discord bot to outsource all the character sheet forms, roll20 links, and all that jazz for some friends’ homebrew for fun. And, y’know, learning experience.

I will watch with great interest.

Awesome!
I will keep the forum posted

Hi, I’m making a discord bot that uses rich presence, chat functionality and docker to easily spin up game servers. Mainly because I don’t want to SSH all the time.

I’m working for a startup company at the minute so it’s time when I can find it.

But it’s already in a working state and I’m just adding features now.

I would just remind everyone to exercise your right to vote, cause all the options are pretty much equal…

I was super hyped to get started with linode but you’ll need to enter a valid CC that isn’t as common in the EU was it is in the US, so sadly no Linode Devember for me. :frowning:

Well, time to check out another hosting service for Devember 2020 :partying_face: :desktop_computer:

I’m Jonathan. I’m a grad student at Mayo Clinic working in medical image processing but I’ve been wanting to tackle an unrelated imaging problem. The problem, I’m bad at taking photos. I probably can’t use coding skills to make me a better photographer but maybe I can make the photos a little better.

My Devember project is to train a neural network to de-noise and de-blur photos.

I would absolutely love some ideas here. I was recently able to troubleshoot a huge spike in I/O delay in my server on one drive. I discovered that Hybrid drives (Seagate Fire Cudas) do not play well with ZFS and seem to produce a significant amount of I/O delay. as seen here… ZFS high I/O issue [txg_sync] 100% and [z_trim_int] 60% to 70%

I am also working on this project which now includes my WD Mycloud EX2, a Cisco 10 port switch, and the new addition of a HP Elite Desk 800 G2 with intel i5 5600T processor in this build log… [Build Log] Home lab in a box (first time trying)-x470d4u Proxmox

I have been able to make this system work well for me with Plex services (Passthrough enabled), and Pi-hole for fun.

I have a few ideas of things I need to work on such as understanding the mailing system and trying to merge the motherboard and proxmox notifications into one email (Gmail). I believe I have proxmox working as I had a disk error prior that was fixed immediately.

I also recently purchased a pi 4B. What a fun little device!

I would love some ideas of what to do next!!! I have the time if you read the intro to my build log…lol. I can do this all day everyday but I am very new to this. The site you mentioned looks like it might be a better way to learn because it is guided, I have to admit self teaching starting out is a bit rough. At least for me and I have 4 reference books. I dont know if they are the best but hey I’m trying!

I really look forward to this this month and seeing what comes out of it for people!

Thanks again for more great content!

I will build a python extension to networkx that will calculate betweness centrality of a network with vulkan running on a GPU. I will do this with Cython to be able to integrate it into any python program. I will be happy if I get it to work. I will be very grateful if my calculations are faster than native networkx.

Wish me luck.

I have heard that Vulkan is hard.

Im a student in my last year of uni, so I’ll probably have to work on this after finals. But after seeing the video on co2 sensors indoors/self host iot, I’d like to make a couple wireless modules to stick in my apartment. Using either arduino nanos with 433Mhz wireless or emp8266 over wifi. I have both of those on hand (haven’t ever used a emp8266 before) and a couple BME680 and SGP30 boards coming in the mail. Power will be handled by a usb adapter and all of this would be built on a perfboard placed inside some enclosure, with vents ofc.

Once I get those built, I’d like to use my unraid box, or my pi 3, to log the data and put into a nice chart. Might use python for that because I’m a noob with software stuff.

Maybe use linode to host a website to allow for remote monitoring. Not sure about that part yet.

I don’t have any way to modify my hvac because, apartment, but it would be neat to see a status of each of my two rooms throughout the day.

edit:
surprise surprise, didn’t get it done lol

I know very little about coding so while my project will involve some most of the creativity will be in the UI department. I’ll use tutorials to make a weather app that scrolls through the info panels in the way ‘stories’ do on Insta and other apps. The aesthetic will be inspired by 90’s weather channel/local on the 8’s with smooth jazz laid over the top.

It will probably be for android since that is what phone I have but being able to make it for ios and android simultaneously would be a nice bonus. Open for suggestions about tutorials, languages, or any other tools.

Hi all.
I’m a professional consultant for all things IT, math, or science (or occasionally other things).
I plan to write a thin client for Wayland, as that’s going to be needed in the next few years.

While I don’t need a permission bump to create the new topic, I can’t include a link to it here. Here’s the end of the URL though.
