Dipole - Magnet Links for ruTorrent

Download your linux ISOs with style, using magnet links. Problem with rutorrent is that since it’s a web application, there is no URL handler application for adding torrents via magnet links. Using dipole, you now can! https://deadbeef.codes/steven/dipole I got bored today, so made this for a fun little project. Enjoy!

Serum - Drum & Bass

I recently bought Serum, which is a really sweet wavetable synthesizer made by xfer records, and I’ve been having an absolute blast with it. Give it a listen below, but do me a favor and turn up the volume. Video & Audio Your browser does not support embedding with the video tag. Fractal is a shader from zGameEditor modulated by the bass synth mixer track. Audio only Your browser does not support embedding with the audio tag. All of the synthesized sounds are Serum. It seems like there are so many controls and ways to edit the wave forms that this really is the end game for advanced synthesis and sound design. I’ve got to play around a bit more to clean things up, and I want to get more of an aggressive growl, but so far all my attempts have wound up sounding more robotic than natural. ...

Human Scheduling Is Insane

I’ve had the past 11 or so days free to work on some personal projects and had some ideas for a personal to-do list app I’d created and been slowly tinkering on and off for the past 2 years. Little did I know I would find out just how complicated it can be to decide what I should do next in my life. I’m not even talking about big life-changing events, but the little things done in life - the chores, the tasks, the toil. ...

Potato the Bunny Stream

Hey all, I’m working on a scalable MJPEG streaming service for fun, and I’m using my two rabbits as guinea pigs. Their names are Potato and Spud. Currently, a single MJPEG stream is active; however, there are still lots more I’d like to do with this. Check it out here: OFFLINE PotatoTheBunny.com To Do Implement an MJPEG buffering proxy to enable scalability to many distinct unicast streams Implement live chat / commentary Implement clipping moments, triggered by a button on the website. The buffering proxy buffer can be snapshot and written to a file to enable this feature. Implement rate-limited, the website controlled treat dispenser - allow people to dispense a treat to the rabbits. Implement directory for multiple streams Implement ffserver middleware for transcoding

First

This will go down in history. Not really - I’m just testing my new content management system. Everything on the site with exception of comments will be staticly built files using templating. All content is stored as markdown, and templates as HTML. Whenever the site is modified, the modifications are pushed to version control, the site is then built, along with a simple web server I made in Go which servces the produced static HTML files. The build will occur each time files are pushed to version control using a simple CICD system I made in Go which runs various tests, compiles the site and web server, then packages them in a docker container and deploys to production. ...
