Project mention: I made a small tool for sanitizing PDF files! | reddit.com/r/cybersecurity | 2022-01-06
Seems like a good tool. You could pass the converted PDFs through tesseract ocr to make the text copyable and searchable again.

If you want to either go full injectable dll or just external exe with injected shellcode to make the Minecraft game itself call the auto attack function, then you're going to want to familiarize with programs such as Cheat Engine, ollydbg or x64dbg, and either IDA Pro or Ghidra. These are the tools that you can use to actually hack and reverse-engineer programs. Injecting code will require learning how to use either the memory library(via including memory.h or memory.dll) or standard C#/C++ libraries to call functions such as ReadProcessMemory() and WriteProcessMemory() to read and write data to and from the Minecraft process so that you can make the game call it's own functions or change data values, etc.

Project mention: Flameshot 11 released, powerful yet simple screenshot capture tool | reddit.com/r/Windows10 | 2022-01-18

Kodi Home Theater Software
Kodi is an award-winning free and open source home theater/media center software and entertainment hub for digital media. With its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine, it's available for Android, BSD, Linux, macOS, iOS and Windows.
Project mention: Has anyone ever gotten any of the subtitles add-ons to work? | reddit.com/r/kodi | 2022-01-12Even if it didn’t work, this would be the wrong place to post a suggestion like this. The [official Kodi forum]() or GitHub issue / bugtracker is more appropriate. Developers don’t browse reddit in hope for suggestions on their software.
-
Marlin
Marlin is an optimized firmware for RepRap 3D printers based on the Arduino platform. | Many commercial 3D printers come with Marlin installed. Check with your vendor if you need source code for your specific machine.
-
Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

Project mention: Building a saved track design with scenery doesn't build the scenery | reddit.com/r/openrct2 | 2022-01-11
v0.3.5.1 has a scenery placement bug for custom saved tracks that didn't exist in 0.3.5: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/16019

Project mention: [i3, i3-gaps, polybar | Ubuntu 20.04] White flickering at the top | reddit.com/r/i3wm | 2022-01-17
-
Project mention: Is there a better way to design a level using any software rather than using paint? | reddit.com/r/gamedesign | 2022-01-20
Interesting that only the last answer here mentions Tiled... That's the best answer (www.mapeditor.org). If you want you can create diagrams pretty much like your drawing, but that can also be loaded in a game engine. You can also use sprite sheets to make much nicer looking maps with the same effort. Use that (or a similar tool), or use actual pen & paper, but I don't think in-between tools like Paint are very useful...

You need to flash a bootloader to the ESP32 first: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/releases

Project mention: Why isn't there any lightweight C++ game engine ? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-12-26
Then you might want to search for "Libraries" and "Frameworks", not "Game Engines". You might find things like Entt or SFML.

Cataclysm-DDA
Cataclysm - Dark Days Ahead. A turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world.
Project mention: How can Blizzard trademark a name as generic as Cataclysm nearly a decade after a game already named Cataclysm existed? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2022-01-20 -
Project mention: what algorithms does Pixhawk run to control a quadcopter | reddit.com/r/ControlTheory | 2021-11-25

CHANGE(client): Rezise chat images to 600x400 instead of 800x600 (#5359)

esphome
ESPHome is a system to control your ESP8266/ESP32 by simple yet powerful configuration files and control them remotely through Home Automation systems.
Project mention: Porting USB applications to the web. Part 1: libusb | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-01-20ESPHome uses WebSerial[2] to flash microcontrollers via the browser, saving the user from having to install a whole development environment and whatnot to do the initial firmware upload.
Super slick from a user POV, just connect the device via USB cable and hit the flash button. I admit I was a bit skeptical to all this, but having just tried it I must admit it was very, very convenient.

It's got several C++ wrappers if you prefer those, my favourite is C++ requests

Microsoft Research Detours Package
Detours is a software package for monitoring and instrumenting API calls on Windows. It is distributed in source code form.
Project mention: How does D3D11 find the locations of the hooked functions? | reddit.com/r/worldofgothic | 2021-11-09If I look at the source code of the D3D11 renderer for Gothic, I can see that they reroute function calls of the engine with the help of the [Detours](https://github.com/microsoft/Detours) library. For rerouting a function, the address of the original function is needed. In the source code of the D3D11 renderer, these addresses are hardcoded. What I currently don't understand is how the developers were able to get the addresses of the functions?
