App that runs on Raspberry Pi with a cam that recognizes specific cats and controls a Nerf Super Soaker to deter the target with water.

Reason: a cat not belonging to this neighborhood

Project Idea: Mastodon/Fediverse client for more intentional consumption. The idea is, to pick a time each day/week/month, open the application and see what's been going on since you last checked. For example, showing the posts most boosted by people you follow, the hashtags they used most, all posts from certain lists.

Probably a desktop app. I would have looked at https://tauri.app/.

I don't have the time to build this anytime soon. If you want to, go ahead.

Invention idea: array of microphones on the outside of the house connected to speakers on the inside of my office, which work like noise cancelling headphones but with spatial sound... enhanced neighborhood awareness, bringing the sound of everything outside inside when the windows are shut ;-)

A regex bytecode VM

This is really fascinating, and does seem like a cool little project to look into, I've been fascinated by how regexes work for a long time, they always kind of feel like magic, and this article seems like a really fun jumping off point to maybe actually implement at least a simplified one for fun.

Discworld fans know the irregular clock in Lord Vetinari's waiting room.
I just found out that there are building instructions out there how to build such a clock yourself - the source code is here https://github.com/akafugu/vetinari_clock

But it made me think: why don't we have a kernel patch that does this? Anyway I'm now reading up on the /dev/rtc class, NTP and PTP, wondering what would be funnier to do.

Wood statue/sculpture from any 3D model using rotating base with angle readout plugged to Blender, which renders the object realtime as an outline using a projector directly on the trunk, to guide the wood work.
