I immediately thought of the Flower of Life [1]. The symbol on the flag is a rotated, stylized version of the 7-circle rosette seen on that page. Lots of spiritual connotations.
I wrote a Ruby script to check passwords back when the Pwned Passwords V2 API was introduced. I've added a second script to check a bulk list of passwords in a plain-text file.
Great way to promote your site. Onboarding was as easy as it gets.
I'm a software developer with a job, but I also have open source projects that stretch out beyond the horizon. Some are much more successful than others, and I've been considering accepting donations for a while.
I don't have the hardcore following that would support something like Patreon, but I have enough of an audience where something like BMAC might work. Cryptocurrency support would be interesting as well. I've considered setting up wallets for just this purpose.
Quick feedback:
1) The creator pages feel undifferentiated (colors/icons/themes/imagery). Upsides: consistency for your platform, simplicity for creators, fewer knobs, less myspace-esque junkery. Downsides: impersonal, bland, might feel cheap/unimportant. I'm not sure where I fall on the spectrum, just a fleeting thought.
2) Under "What do you do?" on my profile, I wanted to put "Open Source Software Developer" to stress the open and contributing nature of my work, but the input's maxlength was 20. I edited it to 35 and it worked, so clearly the backend supports longer descriptions ;) Maybe raise the maxlength on the field?
They pruned a bunch and then did brute force evaluation of the remaining "hard" positions. It seems strange that there hasn't been a more elegant approach to proving this. An interesting (if obvious) corollary to this result is that the maximum moves between any two Rubik's configurations is 20.
I'm working on simplifying live streaming from the Raspberry Pi to Periscope [1] using the Camera Module [2]. Future streaming targets include the usual suspects: Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Live, et al. Deployment is flexible; you can install it as a Debian package, a Docker image, or a standalone binary.
Personally, I plan to use it as a traffic camera mounted on the window of our office.
I've found this to be true not just of financing and money but of scheduling and time as well [1]. I wouldn't be surprised if this applies to many other resources, like employees in a company.
For example, given the task of building a complex system under a time constraint, it's easy to exhaust the time granted, be it a week, a month, or a year. A complex system can always be more perfect, so you can always spend more time on making it better. A limited resource (e.g. a week) can force you to focus on the essential solution whereas an abundance (e.g. a month) can lead to frivolous design and overengineering.
The antidote seems to be organizational restraint, concrete milestones, and constant readjustment to keep in line with greater goals. Scope creep, perfect-as-enemy-of-good, and bike shedding are all aspects of this behavior.
Steven Black's hosts compilation [1] is a good start for what to disallow. For URL shorteners, you could disallow URLs that trigger an HTTP redirect (e.g. HTTP 301), or you could follow the chain of redirects and apply your rules to the terminal URL.
If you want encryption when sharing via termbin, I put together a gist [1] some time ago that helped me. Obvious caveat applies: don't do this if you're really concerned about the privacy of your data.
A couple months ago I put together a Docker image for just this. It's based on dnsmasq and Steven Black's hosts list, and it automatically updates the list daily: https://github.com/schmich/purify
I run it on a cheap Digital Ocean machine, and my home router is setup to forward all DNS traffic to it. Any connected clients, phones included, automatically get the blocking capability.
