yup, i am working with a local freecycle group. but very loosely. you can try and search for "svendborg" to find a place with atleast an item. the whole idea is to be local. so it deliberatly only shows items within the map bounds

using a ton of p2p stuff, trying to be local/offline first, trying to be distributed, trying to be very very smartypants and clever. totally made with ai, but on the basis of an old project. why AI? its a freetime project, im not professionally working with software anymore, small kids, stress allergic, project is ok to fail etc etc etc. code is here: https://github.com/sloev/saysheep

A no_std + alloc immediate-mode UI library targeting UEFI firmware.

made to make it possible for me to make a decent text-editor only os (with usb drive saving) for a friend that doesnt like network access and distractions.

also just a fun ride down the uefi rabbithole :-)

Sorry. I only test my lulz-ware in android chrome. I have fun and then wanna show people my toys so they can play with them.

What do you mean by embedded browser? From your message its hard to figure out os, browser, versions, device or really anything. "It works in chrome" :-) I get an install process going in both android and ubuntu.

Btw. Have you checked my code on creating the charts? I really had fun making them without libs/etc. Its just svg with some translateX stuff hehe

Have a great one!

Ask HN: Anonymized Distance Between Geolocations

supernihil — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:34:47 +0000

I am thinking a lot about whether there exists a form of algo for calculating a distance between two users without exposing either location to oneanother.

I am thinking a sort of hanshake like DH.

case: User a wants to know the geodistance to user b and vice versa

PagesCms – free web CMS for GitHub

supernihil — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:42:25 +0000

I was using publii until recently for managing my github sites but it was cumbersome to have to do all edits from a single labtop. Pagescms allows me to do online edits using a browser with github login.

Example on how it looks: Https://sekvens.buro.earth

really? i see it as clipart (think word clipart), so just some tacky fill for the eyes :-)

When thinking about offline currency and simcards we identified the following:

verifiable centrally issued identifier printed on card and can be verified by inserting into any phone

coin-like small physical tokens

offline verification processes could be as simple as a distributed poster with whitelisted id's

distributed and decentralized bootstrapping based on trust in accepted id's.

Serverbased (Fediverse etc.) vs. Offline P2P

supernihil — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 18:13:33 +0000

A thought on server based albeit decentralized (matrix, fediverse etc) versus offline first p2p based coms: This friday i had a discussion with some local hackers on an unimportant subject. However i wrote that i had started a telegram thread about the subject and got a lot of critic for using that instead of the matrix server they had setup. My argument was that since both were server based i didnt see the difference other than i didnt have established trust to neither their matrix server nor telegram so why should i choose one over the other.

It turned into a greasy mess where they were giving political arguments for choosing matrix with me insisting on working on true p2p offline first serverless (or server-optional) coms is the only route worth taking. I have searched the web for similar discussions but cant find any. My point is just that i dont see the reason for onboarding people to another server based (albeit federated) coms platform when the possibility of true p2p exists. I see a lot of people (in denmark) highlighting ownership of internet based infrastructure as a mega plus (email servers, self hosting etc done by colaboratives) but they seem to be only semi technically savy to an extent or ignorant of p2p. Its sad as i severely need aome local peers to bounce ideas on my esp32 based dialphone p2pmesh.

Anyway, just as i said, a thought and maybe you have one too

What is it: A live feed of anonymized obfuscated samples, from the decentralized diy heating infrastructure of freetown christiania, is translated into velocities and pentatones for different instruments (hashfunction of data selects instrument) and played live in browser using js midi lib. We supply heating to about 500 entities, and sample once per minute.
