Last thing I was working on was Dennis MUD, and before that Driftwood. I haven't had that programmer energy for three months now though, so I haven't been really working on any software projects. Usually I get interested in programming for about a month and that comes in 2 month or 6 month cycles, or somewhere in-between.

Mostly I've just been maintaining the server, and I also set up a server and website for a roommate a while ago who got kicked off of Tumblr for lewd artwork.

If you want to learn a programming language I always recommend Python, but lately JS has become a good general-purpose option too thanks to NODE. My first language was actually FreeBASIC, followed by C. FreeBASIC has a lot of cool old hobbyist games.

It's also good to know HTML and CSS so you can make your own websites. I probably end up using HTML more than anything else. You could also learn Linux so that you can host your websites and whatever services you want on a server you run yourself.

working on a imageboard, i know jack heck about proggraming so im using lainchan's base, is sushigirl's base easy to install? i first tried NPFchan's but after installing and entering mod.php once it never let me in again so im just trying lainchan, also im somewhat limited in specs as im running a pentium 4 with 256 MB of ram, should i upgrade?

Sushichan and Uboachan run on Vichan, which is easy to install and use but also a dead project. A lot of newer imageboards run on Lynxchan, which is still under active development, but in my experience way more difficult to set up and use. If you don't care about having cutting-edge technology behind your imageboard, I'd still recommend Vichan. It looks like Lainchan is actually running a modified version of Vichan, so their fork is probably still being developed and might be better than base Vichan. tl;dr if you're using Lainchan's base you're basically using Sushichan's base already, but probably better.

I'm working with a friend on making an operating system for Arduino. It's been done a few times before, but the selection isn't great. I think it'll be fun and help me scrape the rust off of my C skills and learn Lisp. We're using uLisp as a shell language and basis for the OS shell itself, and adapting that to work on top of FreeRTOS, a preemptive multitasking kernel. This OS will only work on the Mega 2650 due to RAM constraints. I just got an SD shield and want to start working on the filesystem functionality soon. Currently the OS can run one uLisp interpreter shell inside one process, but eventually it will be able to spin off Lisp programs as parallel processes.

>>1473
yay another Lisp OS writer! I mentioned my Lisp OS in >>257, except mine's written in C and is also a Lisp interpereter in and of itself, and on x86. I've been looking at uLisp a lot for implementation details for when there's no access to hashmaps or regular expressions (still can't be bothered to write a hashmap…). I'm eager to see how yours develops, more low level Lisp is good Lisp.

thought it over for a while as to whether or not I'd share it here but i want to know what people think.

A while back i decided I wanted to make my own collection of anime ops and eds so with a lot of help i started collecting them, and I also started building a website so i could share my collection with everyone since it would be selfish to keep it all to myself. At the time I had zero knowledge or experience but i eventually learned php to a decent extent as well as mysqli. The site has been up for about a month and a half and its still kind of shaky and theres a lot of stuff I want to change or add, but at the same time im really proud of myself for coming this far. It would be a lot of help if you guys checked it out and let me know what you think!

I got stuck in a loop of the first seconds of the featured video, don't know what happened but it did. Maybe it was my internet or something got funny but whatevs, just give us an update on when are you allowing others to upload some stuff and if you desire a particular encoding or something along those lines. It really helps having more info on the shows, but I somehow feel the link to the full song might get taxing (as in a chore and not fun) if you end up having a lot in the future or if there's no video with the song
In any case it seems a very nice one sushi! I like being able to see the background image and the airing shows ones with a single click too.

https://kawaii.st/
https://kawaii.st/chat - for sushigirl discord.

It's made with honox (honojs) and cloudflare, with cloudflare KV for urls and kaomoji, and R2 for images.
So it's totally free!.
Just wanted to try out those technologies. I can share the repo if someone else is also curious.

It fetches images from a couple of waifu APIs and saves it to the R2 bucket, the waifus are randomized on each refresh.
The "Copy" button isn't working! i've been lazy in fixing it.

hey there sushis i've been pedaling back and forth on deciding on a project to fully commit myself too, I was hoping y'all could give me some advice. for some background on my experience, I did one of those free 10 hour python courses that pretty much copies Eric Matthes' python crash course. this was my introduction to programming. i then tried SICP but never finished it, but i plan to start working through it again now that I've successfully set-up doom emacs on my system (am a basic vim user). the only other thing i've done that i could really consider a project would be running linux as a desktop system for as long as i have.

anyway, i'm currently stuck with a lot of ambition to start working on projects that aren't just hacking around on some popular linux project (i have some experience hacking on awesomewm and neovim) but i'm stuck trying to decide /what/ specifically to try out. here are my ideas:

#1 probably the most straight forward would be to make a videogame. something simple and short, i'm a big fan of horror gamees and i've always wanted to make one. i'd likely make it in godot. the main issue i have is that i may end up spending more time on the visuals and assets than on the actual programming.

#2 would be to get into web development. my main issue there is that i think i'd be kind of perfectionistic about my website and wouldn't be able to put the project down (even if it got in the way of university work) until i got it to a place where i was satisfied with.

#3 would be to start playing through one of those longer CTFs with multiple levels. i recently joined a hacking group (not the illegal kind) and i think it might be good for me to learn CTF skills since apparently, it's something they do in the group alot. i've only had experience completing the forensics part of picoCTF, is picoCTF worth working through or should i skip to something more challenging?

any help or stories would be appreciated, would like to know how y'all sushis started out :3

>>2281
this looks really cool sushi! i'm glad to see great things are already coming out of the yuri jam 2024. i'll check this out when i get home later :)

also, turns out i do have a project. forgot that i'm also working on a yuri jam visual novel (in renpy) where my partner for the project is handling all the visuals and story (i'm handling music as well). but still, would like to know what y'all think i should work on after that's all done.

If you're going to jump into video game making, it's always harder than it seems. Pick a small goal first, something like pong or breakout. And focus on gameplay not art, if the goal is to learn programming.

Also consider learning low-level stuff, even if you won't use it, the understanding what your high-level code runs on and does will still matter.

Good luck, have fun!
