hitdeck VS sim

I created two web apps to help when playing the boardgame Gloomhaven. Both were coded in Elm and were done partly because I had a need for them and partly just for the joy of coding in Elm. I'll link the github repos of both, the demo is linked in the README for each.

The first app is Battle Objectives [0] which I made so that my group could play with some "enhanced battle objectives" I found online. The fan-made enhanced battle objectives are freely available on Boardgame Geek but I didn't want to print out and cut out all the cards so I coded them into an app. I linked this app on BGG but didn't think it was getting any use from anyone outside my personal Gloomhaven group. But I also found out while writing this post that someone forked Battle Objectives to translate it to German so I guess someone was using it! [1]

The second one is Hitdeck [2] which I made to automate the tedium of reshuffling my hitdeck and of rebuilding it to add and remove cards as the game went on.

Also became a fun learning experience about terminals.

I wanted to use GMail from a fast cli that used the native gmail API.

I wanted to download concurrently and according to patterns. Ok, so honestly this one probably exists somewhere in a form that I would like, but I couldn't find it.

I wanted multi-party authorization for sudo, and couldn't find one.

People kept using gettimeofday, so this is part of my compaign against it. (see https://blog.habets.se/2010/09/gettimeofday-should-never-be-...)

https://github.com/ThomasHabets/gtping

I worked in mobile core networks, and wanted a "ping" that used the GTP protocol since that won't be firewalled.

I wanted my bash scripts to have automatic indentation, while not sacrificing buffering latency and such.

I wanted a simple tool to audit my TLS certificates for expiry.

I was travelling to China on vacation and wanted a VPN out that would be unlikely to be blocked by the great firewall. Ok, so there are many VPN-like tools for getting through the GFW. Maybe it was just an excuse for me to write it. Honestly ssh -D would have likely worked just fine. It's being used by the keymaster project now though, so maybe it did something right: https://github.com/Cloud-Foundations/keymaster/blob/master/d...

I wanted to lock down SSH to anyone who doesn't have a secret key (and portknocking is usually ridiculous). Why not use TCP MD5 for it? https://github.com/google/tcpauth
