the wife is so not interested
So relatable… haha
Thanks so much for you work and rest assured amongst the negativity you may receive in certain corners of the web, there are people truly appreciative of yours, and others like you, hard work.
Thank YOU! I am so glad you found Jotty useful and resonated with it!
If you end up installing it, give my theme a go, it’s part of the official ones, just search for es-theme-animetaverse ♥️
Well that specific system could emulate all the way up to ps2, plenty of fun to be had lol I’m sure every single arcade system can be emulated with no issues, may struggle a bit with game cube/wii
Obviously… make sure you only use original copies of your own videogames… you wouldn’t steal a car would you
Thank you :) and that’s still extremely valuable and please feel free to contribute if you feel like it!
I am a “fix it forward” kinda person, worked for a decade in digital agencies and even tho I now work as a tech lead in a slow-ish software engineering company I still have that hectic mentality/background, hard to shake it off you know hahaha
And yeah, I have two kids under 4, so I totally get the whole time consuming part, if it weren’t for my peculiar situation I don’t think I’d get as much done as I do now not gonna lie. AI also helps speed things up, for example I added translation support to Jotty and having Claude tackle half the code base string replacement while I was doing the other half felt like having an intern!!
Actually that was a conscious choice! I initially went for MIT on them as they were small little apps I used withing my house with my wife, but as they grew I decided I wanted to truly protect the open source nature of them
Reading a bit into licensing I learned that with agplv3 projects can be copied/taken without credits/do anything people want with it, just like MIT/gplv3, however they MUST stay open source.
Which means no greedy corporation can steal my code, improve upon it, close source it and pay wall features :) they can still do all that, but code must always be open source haha
p.s. I’m fairly ignorant on the matter too, I just searched the licensing that was most likely to make sure my projects stay open source and went for it ♥️
Thank you! Hopefully it resonates with you ♥️
Ha! I kept busy indeed. I am a full time software engineer, so I have a full time job on top of that, yeah.
Aside from the obvious “I work fast”, I had a lot of free evening time this year, won’t get too into it but my child spends a lot of time in hospital. These were a great escape for me (and coding is my hobby, so I mostly do that rather than playing video games or watching TV you know)
Run batocera on your old mac mini and make a small arcade machine for yourself, you deserve it! https://batocera.org/download
Hey, I know you got a ton of replies but yeah, been using searXNG with a custom theme made by me and it’s basically identical to google (including the feeling lucky part lol)
Used it for months and it’s awesome, haven’t missed google at all.
The amazing thing about it is that with an instance of meilisearch I was able to index all my media libraries/book libraries/game libraries and searching for !home <query> actually sarches within my home lab, which is a huge win for me.
Hope this helps give you an idea of how powerful this can be <3
Thank YOU for such a lovely message <3
It’s tough, I get downvoted to hell on reddit whenever I try and propose anything I built, not sure if they think I’m selling something or they just plain hate it, so I really really appreciate messages like this!
Hi! These are all very valid questions!
The protection boils down to your level of comfort, really, the way I built this is very modular, you can
When exporting notes, if one is encrypted it’ll stay encrypted, of course.
Lastly, the simple answer is because I know the tech fairly well and understand it enough to comfortably implement it, I wouldn’t want to half ass something, PGP is an extremely valid form of encryption anyway, and can be very user friendly when implemented properly (as explained above there’s various levels of complexity in place)
Very valid feedback, makes me wonder if I should give people multiple choices of encryption algorithms in future updates ♥️
I don’t claim it to be common practice, just saying that it exists. That said, it may be “niche” in the grand scheme of things, but by no means do I think it’s small and insignificant. If anything, such codebases are typically foundational libraries in the giant stack of cards most other software engineers build.
That’s indeed very valid! As I said, I may have been a bit too harsh on the comment rule, definitely one to review properly <3
Hey! Yeah you are right, I may remove the >20% comments to line of code resulting in the code being 100% AI driven
That said, you are obviously referencing a very niche sector, the vast majority of software engineering doesn’t require that absurd amount of comments… I can’t stress enough how verbose a ratio of 20% comments to lines of code actually is lol
Happy to say as of today encryption is present in Jotty ♥️
Aw thank you for the kindness ♥️ There’s nothing wrong in verbosity btw, I may have been a bit too harsh on my parameters, I’ll tweak it a little :)
Hi, yeah! For sure! Indeed the world is not black and white! But even with weight, take everything with a pinch of salt <3
Hey!
Thank you for testing it out, I think in my head, even the most verbose of dev wouldn’t leave >20% of comments in their codebase. The percentage works on a ratio of (commentsCount / linesOfCode) * 100 so it doesn’t just flag “a lot of comments”, it mostly checks for “too many comments”, that said, the “use common sense” at the top needs to be taken quite seriously, for example if there’s a majority of comments but none of the comments feel like written by AI, it’s clearly just the developer being verbose :)
p.s. I find AI is pretty damn good at making docker compose files, it’s probably gonna work just fine <3
Thank you! ❤
hahaha! I had totally missed this reply 🤣 That is indeed adorable, can’t say that’s where the name comes from but… it also works!!
Nice!
The only drawback I have had for heavily customising it is that it’s now not compatible with the latest versions, unfortunately they’ve re-structured their codebase and I frankly don’t have the time to re-do all my hard work, so I’ve been running a very old (but extremely stable) version of it lol
