Hilo is a daily 7-letter word puzzle using hi/lo clues to deduce letters through logic, not obscure vocabulary. Play solo, track streaks, or compete in private groups to solve the shared daily challenge.
Decoy font is a font that prints a decoy for every letter, making it more difficult for AI to read what you type. The font works by using separate spatial frequencies to communicate two different letters in the same space. The foreground contains thin outlines, while the background is a low-frequency mass that is blurred. When overlaid on top of each other, what you see depends on how you ...
What.CD, a private music tracker with invite-only tiers and strict rules to avoid legal risks, fostered a dedicated community but shut down in 2016 after a Salinger manuscript leak and server seizure, leaving users in mourning.

A DIY calculator project uses electromechanical displays with acrylic panels, voltmeters, and a custom keypad, driven by an AVR128DA28 MCU for fixed-point arithmetic. The design combines vintage components, CNC-milled enclosures, and tactile switches, emphasizing practicality over analog complexity.
There is a small red heart on my homepage now that beats. The number next to it is my actual heart rate, and the heart pulses at that frequency: 48 bpm means one thump every 1.25 seconds, 80 bpm means one every 0.75. I wrote this up because I wanted to, and because the design ended up containing more interesting decisions than I expected. I wear a Garmin Descent Mk3i, 43 mm, carbon gray DLC ...
