Never played MM1 back in the day and didn't want to map by hand so I asked Claude to decode the map format then build a DOS TSR to dump the current location to disk so a Go program could read it and auto map for me as I explored. Here we've mapped the "town" of Sorpigal. #msdos #might&magic

I hope @trezy.pet's gets a @shindakun.net pet that's a lazy lazy lazy "developer" that never works on the projects they should. For now I'll just have to take care of Jameson I guess 🐈

I don't think I'm going to do it. It's just not worth it. So uh I guess congrats to whomever is behind me in line. #steammachine

Have had #esp32 on the brain ever since starting with the Xteink X4. So I picked up a couple #esp32-s3 boards with 7" displays on Amazon. Currently I'm slopping up a "starter" repo that can be used as a base for other projects targeting this kit. github.com/shindakun/cr...
Picture of CrowPanel Advanced 7" https://www.elecrow.com/crowpanel-advance-7-hmi-esp32-ai-display-800x480-ai-ips-touch-screen.html. This one is actually th rebranded one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GVDBN9RT. On screen it says "CrowPanel Advanced 7.0", "Touches", a button that says "Tap me", and a brightness slider labeled "Brightness".

Been playing around with a view created from the firehose which is just whatever the people I follow are getting up to. Rendering whatever atproto record comes across the wire.

@smokesignal.events is the site open source? Not seeing a repo in my admittedly small search. Seems like we need a bit more contrast on tags on the search page.

When looking into the #smallweb stuff I came across smallweb.club it seems to say .tsx is the way but that would shutout a good bit of the #norms I think markdown would be an easier sell. So httpmini.com is live, a bit tongue in cheek and probably a bad idea. Maybe riff on a hosting solution next?

...and what if I combined my online library with @bookhive.buzz lexicon. I've always wanted my library online for easy access without fiddling with having Calibre public. #atproto lol. I've got too many half started projects maybe I should just read instead.
Covers of the 'Tiger and the Wolf' and '1984'.

OK, so note backlinking seems to work. You can look at your note and see if someone else has a note linking to your note. You can then click on that note if you wish or link to it in your note. Notes all the way down! #atproto Will be viewable in the graph view as well if you toggle it on.

Steve Layton @shindakun.net · 16/12/2025
OK, I've got some ideas but for now we're going to optionally show outbound #atproto links with some details, how many details remain to be seen, then eventually some sort of backlink display to maybe connect to others graphs in some future state?
A "knowledge" graph of notes and links out to different atproto services. Shows a pop with 2 replies and 10 likes.

OK, it's a bit cumbersome but it's possible to link records. Will need to think about a UX random records. But popular services could have embeds in note view and others could just be a link to that record via @pdsls.dev I suppose. Lots to still figure out.

Not sure there is anything new here but it's #atrc an IRC-like proof of concept, you still join a main "server" but anyone could host one in theory and all your msg data is stored in your PDS. This is two different servers and users on each federated together through the firehose. #atproto

Once installed though it seems to be OK, I did notice some inputs seem to be missing, like entering your character name. Not sure I could resolve that probably a quirk with reading data from dosbox.

Grabbing the list of files from the PDS, sorting and displaying, the file_id.diz is part of the lexicon so I can just put that out and push it to the screen, download happens through a proxy so we can set the filename in the header and it shows in the save dialog. #atproto #filesharing-ish #bbs

What am I working on now? Here's a little hint. #bbs Feel like @hypernode.bsky.social would approve. Also, I think I'm getting a cold, gonna take a break for a bit.
