I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.

I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.

I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.

After a lot of tinkering, we finally made it to the latest release of the #nginx ingress controller on the mstdn.dk cluster. The latest release addresses no less than FOUR #CVE records. Critical configuration areas had changed, the GeoIP database had to be cached to avoid rate limiting and the #LUA engine needed some tweaks before it could handle the relative large number of TLS certificates we're using in the cluster, but we finally made it. Sorry about the hick-ups. We're trying to keep expenses from going through the roof, so we've skipped the test setup in favor of gently tweaking things in production. Usually that goes well, but there is the rare exception.

Somewhat related, the #KubeCon / #KubeConEU #Kubernetes conference is next week, which means I'll be in #London for the first time for an entire week. Any suggestions for things worth visiting for a bunch of #nerds? :D

Hey Fediverse! I just set up a #MarkovBabbler for the #Snipette website and it was very fun so if you want to do something to fight scraper-bots I'm open to setting up a #MarkovBabbler for your website too. Consider this a mini #FediHire ✨

🪴 I'll set up #Nepenthes or something similar of your choice on your existing server, but customise it so it kind of looks like your website and can provide human visitors with a bit of entertainment. I don't know tooo much of its inner workings but I'm a quick learner and am also adept at styling/templating/picking up your website's vibes

✋ I'll assume you're already aware of the consequences of such tools and how effective (or not) they are (but feel free to ask!).

💰 You can pay me $0 to $50 whatever works, of course the more the better! (Also, you probably know this but all these tools are available for free if you'd rather DIY it)

🎧 One volunteer with an account is US Dollars or similar (first come first served, but preference to those I follow) can collect the payments on my behalf and use it to buy me a #Tangara which is also programmed with #Lua same as #Nepenthes

⏳ Offer valid till I get a Tangara (or maybe even after? Let's see!)

This is the first post of a series about my attempt to create an RPG Engine.
I'm diving back into creating my very own RPG engine after multiple failed/abandoned attempts.
I want it super flexible and avoid hardcoding as much as possible. The post covers using Hollywood-MAL (and Lua which is very similar) for coding and building damage types, creature attributes and status changes, with almost total customization.

Just trying to get into the neovim #lua configuration and I feel so overwhelmed 🫠
So I got the LSP Server now, the plugin in #neovim but autocompletion doesnt seem easy. I read that there is a built-in autocomplete for LSP, but I dont understand how to use that one properly. But all over the place I find people using nvim-cmp and now I feel stupid 😵‍💫

I go through these periods of deep research on different programming languages, where I’ll pick one up, do a small project, try my best to understand the nuance of the design choices, what the language hopes to achieve, the motivations of its creator.

Then other times (like right now) I think the only good language is a language that gets out of your way, and I switch back to writing lua.

I feel like there’s must be a happy medium, but I’ve not found it.

I've finished writing v1 of my "Intro to Game Development for Teens" for the camp I'm teaching this week.

The instructions are available for free and after this week I will also be writing a free teacher's guide if anyone else wants to go over this with their class or kids or whatever else.

(It's "for teens" because you need knowledge of the x, y coordinate plane and the guide covers the distance formula.)

Screenshot of the sample game running - Pickin' Sticks. Two characters are trying to collect the most sticks in the grass.
Screenshot of a page of the guide - This one explains variables, and includes a drawing of boxes with different values in it.
Screenshot of a page of the guide - This one is explaining colors and how computers represent colors as numbers.
Screenshot of a page of the guide - This one talks about the distance formula and using it in Lua.

In the last weeks wanted to explore and annotate unknown file formats. I looked at hex viewers and similar tools but could not find one that was scriptable while also having little dependencies.
I would like it to be as portable as possible.

So I've started to write something myself in Lua. Right now I have got a very simple interactive command-line hex viewer. I can move around, annotate things, and script things to automate the analysis.

I might switch languages later, and I want to make it extensible while keeping the code and architecture simple.

If anybody knows an existing tool that could fit for me, or is even working on one, I am open to suggestions! :blobcathappy:

#ReverseEngineering #Coding #Lua
A screenshot of an ELF file opened in my command-line hex viewer tool. The output shows multiple lines with file offset, hex data, decoding, and a comment for the known values. Below that, I interactively entered the offset, length, format and comment for a known value in the file. As a result, the next print-out additionally annotates this known value.
