Again, my last blog post has been a while ago. I also, again, forgot to publish some other posts for quite a while.
|
||||
So, what has happened since last time?
|
||||
|
||||
# EYE-TAP
|
||||
[EYE-TAP](https://github.com/eye-tap) has seen a lot of work and we got close to publishing a paper on it, but more work is needed to finish that up.
|
||||
It is fully working, but the onboarding needs more work.
|
||||
|
||||
# BeatSketch
|
||||
[BeatSketch](https://github.com/BeatSketch) is a Beat Saber map maker in which you do the movements that should be in the map.
|
||||
While it is completed, it still has a lot of potential for improvement, but has now become low priority
|
||||
|
||||
# MusicPlayer
|
||||
[MusicPlayer](https://github.com/janishutz/MusicPlayer) has suffered from performance and reliability issues and a barely, if at all,
|
||||
maintainable code base. This is currently being via a complete rewrite, which will also add a much-needed feature in that you can save your custom playlists and load them again.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not just a reliability upgrade, it is a FULL rewrite, almost zero lines of code have been carried forward.
|
||||
The whole design language has also seen an update, but has not been finalized yet, so I won't be sharing any screenshots.
|
||||
|
||||
# New Desktop
|
||||
My desktop has also seen a big revision, I am back to using Waybar, but the overall theme is now generated using `matugen` and includes configs for kitty, alacritty and more.
|
||||
The theme can be set either via command, or via `yazi` opener integration.
|
||||
My Hyprland configs are now also Lua-based and I am using `swaync` for the notifications, still `wlogout` for logout manager and `rofi` as the launcher.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# More secure development environment
|
||||
Since in recent times, there have been many supply-chain attacks via `npm`, `pypi` and more, I have decided to use `docker` containers for running `npm` and more.
|
||||
|
||||
# Website migration
|
||||
Furthermore, my whole website has moved hosting providers!
|
||||
I am now managing things myself on a VPS due to increasingly large amount of downtime I have experienced with my previous hosting provider.
|
||||
This has also enabled me to use software written in languages besides `node`, `php` and `python`, which is improving performance in many cases.
|
||||
I am further considering writing a second backend for MusicPlayer in Rust to see what the performance and RAM usage difference is.
|
||||
|
||||
I am also self-hosting a mail server as a result and we'll see how that goes, as that has been by far the hardest component to set up.
|
||||
|
||||
# Store update
|
||||
With the move to the VPS, I have also decided to stop doing my own authentication software and my account system has been deprecated
|
||||
and replaced with an existing OpenID-Connect Solution, which allows me to ship FOSS software that I can offer hosting for that allow for the self-hosted variants
|
||||
to also feature login and some of the verification, without needing separate login implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
The store thus also needs to move its authentication source.
|
||||
|
||||
# Time tracking via Wakapi
|
||||
Back in the beginning of June, I have started tracking my coding time using `wakapi`, which is a self-hosted `wakatime`-compatible time-tracking solution.
|
||||
That has been very interesting to see and you can see some of my stats below.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This of course is not that much due to ETH exams taking place in August and thus the need for me to prepare for them.
|
||||
|
||||
# ETH Guide
|
||||
This year I will be attending the ETH Erstie-Day and since I was not satisfied with the available materials for first year students,
|
||||
I wrote my own guide, which can be found [here](https://eth.janishutz.com)
