CHIP-8 was what caused me to stop using github and host my projects privately. I had no license set and had everything marked as copyright and it still ended up on being ported to the Nintendo Switch without my permission. I deleted the repo thinking that would be the end of it but it gets worse. When I type my uniquely spelled name with co-pilot enabled it starts auto completing my full name and code. :(

Coding a MUD as a hobby project using memory arenas and I am straight up not having a good time with strings. Right now I'm giving the players fixed size 4k buffers to send commands too instead of using dynamically sized strings. Everything else is golden. Just slap it on to the frame/temp arena and reset the marker back to 0 after an update.

A few years ago I wanted to get a ham radio license to do real time tracking with with a high altitude balloon after seeing tons of amateurs doing it. I couldn't imagine a worse time to do it than now with the Chinese spy balloon nonsense. Even back then they had to label the camera payload box with things like "THIS ISN'T A BOMB please call ###".
