I'm building a collator robot [0] to help me pack items I sell for building your own open source split-flap mechanical display [1].
I get custom character flaps printed and die-cut in bulk and then sell them in smaller sets. A full set of flaps for one module has 52 distinct designs (letters, numbers, symbols, etc) and I get them from the manufacturer grouped by design, so they need to be collated to sell as packs of 52 with 1 of each design.
My WIP robot will take a stack of one design and distribute them to a bunch of cubbies, then I'll swap in the next design, and so on, so each cubby ends up with a full set.
It's based on a cheap ~$110 CNC gantry frame from AliExpress and a ~$35 BTT SKR Pico 3d printer main board running GrblHAL. To detect whether the flaps feed successfully I use a visible light break-beam sensor (the typical IR sensors don't work because the PVC flaps happen to be IR transparent!) which acts as the "z probe" - the flap is fed via a G38.3 probe action which returns whether the probe was successful or not, and the "z" coordinate it was first detected.
I have a python script running on a computer to send the gcode to the machine.

Once this math service is registered with the IPC / RPC, it can be called from any process with `await math.add(1,1)`. It is straightforward and simple to use. This solves the most difficult problem building Chrome Extensions.
I also pulled out the Playwright internal DOM manipulation injected script library [1] and placed it inside the same Chrome Extension so I can automate my browser from the Chrome Extension with a similar API as Playwright.

I've completed the draft of Part 1 of my online book "Automated Agents: How effective chatbots work"
I'm writing about my experience building a chatbot at a startup as engineer #1. It started as a blog post, but I had so much more to say. This is the information I wish I had before getting started. A lot of information on the web is about building a wrapper around LLMs, this is one that we built ourselves and were able to resolve millions of customer issues with.

wlsleephandler-rs
Swayidle alternative to handle wayland idle notifications, sleep and lock events in Rust with Lua scripting based configuration language
I'm building a wayland sleep and gamma handler that has lua scripting integration. It bothers me that it's so hard to set different timeout handlers. So I recently integrated wljoywake, which allows me to handle timeout on joystick commands and am in the process of adding flux like functionality.
The reason why I want scripting is between I want the color to pause while I'm playing videos without having to add scripting logic to other tools.
I'm also planning to add rofi like functionality with layershell. Rofi is the only tool that has first party support for keybindings and other functionalities, but it's all done through strings. I'd rather have a lua scripting interface that can call other scripts and communicate with json or something similar.

I just finished adding UDP GRO & GSO support to my WireGuard proxy software. The work involved rewriting a large part of the program.
https://github.com/database64128/swgp-go
For those who don't know, UDP Generic Receive Offload and Generic Segmentation Offload allow you to receive and send multiple same-sized UDP packets coalesced in a single buffer (or many in an iovec but you really shouldn't). Compared to calling sendmsg(2) on individual packets, sending them coalesced in one call traverses the kernel network stack exactly once, thus has significantly lower overhead.
wireguard-go and many QUIC implementations use the same trick to improve throughput. Unfortunately the in-kernel WireGuard driver does not take advantage of UDP GSO, and swgp-go had to cope with that by attempting to coalesce multiple unsegmented messages received in a single recvmmsg(2) call.

I’ve been working on open sourcing a background jobs library I built for Rust and Postgres, called Underway.[0] Unlike other similar queuing libraries, it offers a simple “step” functions API for defining dependent units of work.
I built this because a number of projects I work on need a robust, resilient way of deferring work but I didn’t want to add another piece of infrastructure or another language to my stack. Plus as soon as you start to reach for APIs that offer some kind of workflow concept, your options become fewer and further between.

As a software developer who later got into hardware design, I've always been pretty disappointed with the quality of HDL tools. You get a bit spoiled by the quality of compilers like gcc and clang, and then you run into ridiculously expensive closed-source SystemVerilog compilers that fall apart on valid and obvious code, can't be run in a build farm, and which report cryptic messages for errors. So I've been working on my own open source SystemVerilog compiler / frontend for a while now, and it's nearing 100% completion in terms of language support.

MKS DLC32 motherboard kit, which is an offline engraving master control kit developed for desktop engraving machines. The hardware is equipped with a 32-bit high-speed ESP32 module, integrated WIFI function, and directly drives a 3.5-inch touch color screen; it can realize fast engraving and WEB web pages. Control, mobile phone APP control and other functions.
3D printer/laser engraver electronics are great for lots of things actually. You get
A (at least) 3-axis motion control system with G-code processor
Spindle controller (usually)
Limit switch input
A nice graphical display
(Sometimes) Wi-Fi or BLE
Arduino framework
All for around $50.
I was exploring the use of one for an open-source infusion pump controller. However, it turned out to be too bulky, but it would probably have been fine otherwise. Even after all these years, I was blown away by the insane amount of capability that I could buy for $50.

A keyboard that is ergonomic without looking or feeling intimidating (https://github.com/cassiozen/fatbee).
The term "ergonomic" isn't regulated in the US, so the market is full of supposedly "ergonomic" keyboards that offer little real benefits—and in some cases, may actually cause harm.
My main gripe is with split keyboards. The traditional keyboard layout is wrong in so many ways (from the perspective of physiology and biomechanics) that just "splitting in the middle" isn't enough to avoid long-term injury.
Splitting is not wrong, but alone, it's not enough. You need to tackle it from multiple perspectives: Yes, Split the keys, so your wrists aren't bent outward, support the palms so they're not bent upward, and angle the middle part up (like a tent) to keep your forearms from twisting. That twisting is especially bad because it squeezes the carpal tunnel and can lead to nerve and tendon problems.
FatBee is my attempt to incorporate all these elements while creating something that doesn't feel too overwhelming to use.

* It runs on Linux, Mac, Windows. Bare metal on rp2040 and rp2350 is planned.

To decide if it's worth investing in a lifetime deal for https://pockethost.io, I'm trying out PocketBase/PocketHost.
I just finished https://github.com/Leftium/spock-stack-spa-starter
Next, I'll take this new "Spock" stack and try rewriting my HN client https://hw.leftium.com/
I'm planning some new features like keeping track of unread posts, which are marked read as you scroll.
Perhaps submit it to the Svelte Hackathon: https://hack.sveltesociety.dev

You should add another use to it which is exploring live in-memory object graphs of applications. Make some adapter library to allow getting those objects from apps that want to use and then you can fly through the data being processed. For debugging, exploration and education. I'm using a basic version of this idea for debugging: https://github.com/Quiark/overlog

ArduinoCogs
Arduino library for creating rules at runtime via the web, including a serial command parser. Pre-alpha/experimental
ArduinoCogs. It's a library that adds no-code automation with a web UI, along with a tiny shell interpreter to configure WiFi and back up your settings.
Much like my KaithemAutomation project, you declare "Tag Points" which are like subscribable variables for your IO, then set up state machines that can affect them via the web UI.
I use TinyExpr for the expressions, and a regex to parse command lines. The shell is explicitly not a real programming language, it just allows logicless commands.
But it does support a limited subset of here docs, and an equivalent to the shar command!
All the UI is generated from JSON schemas, and it's designed so you can add new "apps" to the web UI.
The base library includes an MP3 player app, and a FastLed wrapper.
I also have Trouble Codes, to make it easy to add diagnostics and alerts to the system, websocket based real-time dashboards, theme-ability, and there's a Python client (in the iot_devices library) to control devices.
You can configure multiple WiFi networks, and there's a web based file manager.
The two things I really want to add are LCD based UI, so you can actually create your menus and interfaces in the JSON editor, and some kind of mesh protocol backed by OpenDHT, so you could make a device globally visible. I'd also like to have camera and SD card support.
Nowhere near ready to actually post , but usable.

I'm working on an app that let's you blur a portion of your screen.
Currently written in Python with OpenCV, plan on a re-creation with Electron, but I'll need to learn more of it first :)

tinykvpp
Horizontally scalable, highly available, key-value storage service with distributed transaction support written in C++
I'm working on (yet another :)) key-value store. It's 99% educational project for me, no ambitions to create a startup or such, just a good enough project to try various technologies e.g. new protocols, kernel by-pass, libraries like SPDK or xnvme. Planning to go distributed as well, probably using Raft. Quite a good opportunity to sharpen low-level programming and design skills, work with profilers, doing benchmarking, and optimizing things. :)

I'm working on a simple golang-based CLI tool to transcribe all the meetings I'm in - https://github.com/akash-joshi/better-whisper
I use this to create a local knowledge base that I can then crunch using LLMs to help in decision-making, creating standup notes, etc

I just finished writing a discord bot backed by postgres with a web frontend. Some friends and I like to do watch parties and this system lets you set a theme for a group of movies, everyone submits their picks, then it will randomize and post what the agenda is each week. Afterwards it posts a poll to let them respond with a thumbs up or down. The next thing on my list is to use the voting data to render a user score based on how well their picks were received by the group lol.
I got really interested in this idea when I decided to write it in a stack I don't normally work in, Go + HTMX. Go routines are incredibly useful. I used https://nostalgic-css.github.io/NES.css/ for the front end and it's really become a fun bot all around.
