End of year current projects list (for my own info as much as everyone else's):
1. Portable Floppy Imager. This is a hardware/software project to build a battery-powered floppy disk imaging solution, using a Raspi, Greaseweazle, and 3.5" Floppy drive.
Current status: A hardware prototype is in working condition, well enough to let me work on software. Haven't worked on much software yet.
2. Programmable Keyboard:
I've gone through a bunch of different prototypes of displays and microcontrollers, still not 100% certain how this is going to work. The final product is probably going to be two RP2040-based microcontrollers, a small LCD display, four or five buttons, and a small 3D printed enclosureMostly on hold because I've been working on the PFI

3. Wondertools Cruiser interface:
I got this adapter mostly working long ago, but never finished the software interface for remapping (it's complicated!) and never recorded the video. Now that I'm recovering from being bedridden, hopefully this can happen soon -

This is a writing/software project, a sort of autobiography/diary/self-exploration thing? It involves a small amount of software, written in VB6, to implement a wiki-like interface on top of a bunch of text files. -

This is a sorely underhacked game. I've figured out a few of the file formats and compression, and need to do more.
I've extracted what I need to make a Death Generator (backgrounds, portraits, font) but not yet integrated them into an actual generator.
I also need to extract all the audio and dialogue scripts, for general Game Exploration reasons. I can mostly do the audio already, but dialogue scripts will need further hacking -

This is a software project where I'm playing with a NSFW-detection model. I've written code to shove a movie file through it and annotate the result.
I put this on hold for my surgery and haven't picked it back up: I mainly need to just shove more video files through it, but the software could use more work to automate the process further.
I also need to figure out how to distribute the output of it, since I can't just upload it publiclyhttps://bsky.app/profile/foone.bsky.social/post/3m77ifdcmns2g

7. Unannounced video game history project:
I talked to a developer of some 1990s games, got a lot of information and some code, but they didn't reply to a later set of questions. I need to poke them again and try to reach out to some other parties before I announce & archive anything -

This one has been on hold a LONG time because of my illness, but now that I'm recovering I'm hoping to pick it up soon.The work that needs to be done is mainly in writing code to dump a bunch of databases, which need to be manually cleaned of PII. This is a lot of work but I have a clear path forward

9. Floppy Disk Video Player
This is a project to encode an episode of Star Trek onto floppy disks.
I've encoded the movie onto 12 disks, and I've got a movie player, but I need to write some GUI code to interact with the user, telling them when they need to swap disks and to handle streaming across multiple disks. -

My long-lived project that wraps ffmpeg to turn video files into GIFs (and recently, WebPs!).
It's recently gained a lot more functionality involving the "narrow" mode, but needs a little more work. I want to clean up the interface (half the CLI options are backwards) and also release a packaged EXE version so that others can use it -

This is a software project to rewrite the (horrible) Death Generator codebase into a typescript version that agrees with any kind of modern JS/TS packaging technologies.
This'll let me deploy it in a better form, as well as build a server-side version that can have an API.
I did the initial work, a proof of concept that can render some simple generators, but a ton of features were commented out as "too hard to get working for now".
I gotta go back and implement those -

I did a bunch of work of rewriting it to use a completely different system for flag definitions, then did it again, then used someone else's code and did it again... the current situation of it is a mess, and I need to throw a couple days at cleaning it up and pushing out a new version and pipeline for flag designing. -

Keymageddon
A video game that's also a keyboard, primarily designed as an excuse to learn Godot.Game is "done", waiting on the Wondertools Cruiser video to mark it as complete

I think those are all the projects currently in some kind of "ongoing" status.
I'm trying hard to not start new projects, but obviously that's not something I'm any good at

There's a few video game reverse engineering projects on extended life support that I might go back to at any time
1. Solar Winds
2. Railroad Tycoon
3. Wheel of Fortune (all & every version)
4. Super Solvers Gizmos & Gadgets -

4. Super Solvers Gizmos & Gadgetsand I'm always looking for games to put into the Death Generator, but usually those are mini-projects rather than full on capital P projects.
RAD is a game that escaped containment, as did Clash at Demonhead. Those are both way too complicated for a single-session generator, which is the ideal amount of time to spend on a generator

FORGOT ONE:
14. Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego? (enhanced) project.
I've been working on reverse engineering this game as part of a project to make a generic Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? project.
The idea being that you can generate your own version of the game using your own set of locations/facts. So you can make "Where in SF Bay Area is Foone?" or "Where in [Fiction] is [Character]?" (eg "where in Star Trek is Data?") by writing some json info and running my tool -

For the record, I stated that I was trying to avoid new projects at 16:52. A new folder was added to my Projects directory at 21:27.
My "no new projects!" pledge lasted nearly five entire hours

@marcstir nel 2000 Putin ha preso la sua prima condanna per crimini di guerra, CERTO che avremmo dovuto intervenire un quarto di secolo prima, per l’indipendenza energetica dalle fonti fossili, per mettere ai margini gli stati canaglia, per attivare i corpi civili di pace oggetto di una risoluzione della spesa militare, per disinnescare la guerra creando legami sociali tra le democrazie e i popoli oppressi dai dittatori invece di fare affari con autocrati come Putin e Trump.

Last watercolor for 2025. I aim to paint more next year, while also starting sketching.

@macfranc Ho solo comunicato a tutti il gentilissimo lavoro che avete fatto. Approfitto di questa vostra risposta per ringraziarvi.

@misantropo70
Ciao Mauro.
Stamattina alle 9.30 erano -4°C, ma almeno è freddo ma più secco. Meglio delle temperature alte di pochi giorni fa ma con umidità altissima e nebbia.

@gubi nel 2022 le armi hanno difeso la "democrazia" ucraina; certo che si sarebbe dovuto cercare la pace o la tregua già da allora, ma ho delle perplessità nel lasciare serenamente che la Russia si prenda con la guerra quello che ha ritenuto di prendersi; una volta esisteva una cosa chiamata diritto internazionale, con tutti i suoi limiti, oggi - grazie ad una serie di forzature, tra cui giganteggiano Putin, Netanyahu e Trump - non ha più senso neanche evocarla. La difesa del territorio ucraino era soprattutto (almeno per chi era in buona fede) la difesa di questo principio
