  • This is a cool user script. I don’t want to take that away from you. Beckons me back to a more fun version of the internet. You’re providing a useful feature to people.

    However I do want to encourage anyone running user scripts on their email clients to be very careful. If your script auto updates you are opening yourself up to a delayed attack. And if you don’t understand every bit of the script you are opening yourself up to exploitation. Determine your threat model and capability and proceed appropriately.

    This is the privacy community after all.










  • I wrote a collection of game development libraries: graphics, keyboard, mouse, ECS, timing, entity pool. And making an actual tiny game instead of a series of toy demos is what I need to make sure they are good to go. Toy demos don’t capture real usage or integration with other libraries very well. The current demo game is a character on a 2d tilemap where you have to dig the ground until you find the treasure.


  • I toured the local facility here. It is called 100 Acres. I buy their product at my local Kroger and Outpost. Fresh just means not processed in a grocery story. However it still can be shipped on a truck, frozen on a cargo ship, stored in a warehouse, etc… So by the time it gets to you, you only have sometimes a few days to eat it before it goes bad. I can hold onto my hydroponic lettuce for weeks; It sometimes feels strange.

    If I remember right, it is the Fox Valley area that has some greenhouse farming. Sometimes you see the posts pop up about lights at night and someone wondering what it is.

    I don’t know if you’ve looked into what they’re doing over in Netherlands. They do green house and hydroponic farming on a massive scale. It is incredible to see how many tomatoes that tiny country produces and exports.


  • Proving it out either verifies that the libraries I created are correct and useful or need to be reworked or improved. The Timer class I created for example needed to be improved so that I could create a frame independent gameloop. But now I have the Timer I need. The ECS and Keyboard input so far have been going swell. The Graphics have been okay, but not sure how to improve it yet. And I haven’t incorporated Mouse into my test game yet.
