I’ve been working on a raspberry pi based music notes box for shows on and off for about 5 years. I can count through and change songs with my foot, so I have an easier time keeping track of where I am in the song for live shows (I’m the bassist). I did all the programming and hardware stuff.
I maintain a handful of RimWorld mods, going on about 6 years now. They’re in a pretty stable and mature place so they don’t take too up much effort, but I do check for Steam commens a few times a day, to make sure nobody found any bugs or major issues.
What RimWorld mods have you produced? Links plz!
I’m not sure I could say I’m the sole producer, most of my mods are cases where the original author has stepped away from modding and I saw an opportunity to add some improvements of my own while carrying on the torch (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all). I think I’m most known for Camping Stuff and Snowy Trees, since those are the mods that I started with, but I’ve since adopted a few more, but if you’re interested in the full list, here’s my Steam / GitHub
Sincerely, thank you for what you do!! Mod authors like you are why this game has been so awesome for the past 10 years (I miss those email links to the new game version download).
I’ve only been around since the alpha 17 days, but I have to agree, it’s such an amazing community to be a part of!
My homelab is probably the longest running, but it runs things that I depend on, so I can’t say it’s much of a side project.
Probably Tesseract since I absolutely figured my interest would have fizzled out long ago.
Definitely my homelab as well. What started as a single AMD freenas server 10 years ago has spawned into a full rack in the past few months that I will soon be operating my business from, as well as personal self hosting.
Nice! I run a few things for local businesses out of my lab, but they’re mostly charity to keep them from setting up on Facebook lol.
That’s some noble work haha
My bedroom electronics maker lab setup probably qualifies. I’ve rewired LED’s and added some printed wire guides for my laptop stand’s Ethernet cable. I also hung my SMD parts bins, and built shelves for my DMM and scope. I started that around 6 months after I was disabled, so 10 years ago.
If we’re talking something I actually have worked on in the past year, a crummy book I’ve been writing on Wattpad. Have 5-6 “Legacy” chapters out, but they’re gonna eventually be rewritten if I ever get to them within my lifetime. They’re only there to exist, pretty much. Not an interesting book by any stretch of the imagination.
Just a group of kids in the mid 90s spending their summer doing normal things like how in one unpublished chapter you follow the main character as he goes to what he considers a boring wedding and has to deal with the embarrassment of at one point having to dance with his cousin, who thinks he’s kinda cute.
Been working on it since maybe fall 2017 or sometime in 2018. Otherwise, I cannot think of any projects of mine that have been going on any longer than that that I actually have actively worked on this year and am willing to share (there’s some fanfiction series, but I ain’t willing to go into that, despite it not being too cringe).
I’ve been composing an orchestra piece for slightly over two years now. I’m kind of learning how to do that as I go along, having only really written songs for up to three instruments beforehand.
I’ve been working on a game reminiscent of Streets of Rage and Paper Mario. A beat-me-up RPG in Unity but I haven’t worked on It in a while due to work and burnout.
This project technically started in 2009, as part of another project called Dandelion (which then was renamed to Pines), then around 2014 I pulled it out into its own project, Nymph. I worked on it on and off, until 2021, when I rewrote it for Node.js as Nymph.js.
It now runs my email service, https://port87.com/
Here’s the oldest code I can find on GitHub from July 7, 2009:
And here’s the first version as its own project from Sep 8, 2014:

Classic luxury car restore for about a decade.
How goes it?
One complete rear spring is off for about 6 months.
Everything is expensive and hard to work on. Lots of parts are unobtainable.
I don’t have side projects because it’s hard enough to simply get up for work 5 days a week.
Fiction writing. I started when I was very young, it’s by far my most long-runbing hobby.
Myself, and god is it a mess of a project
I just made a major step on one. I’ve been collecting small electronics of all sorts over the last 15 years or so, a lot of them pretty obscure. I just got a computer I wanted to use to build an inventory of everything and start a YouTube channel to highlight each item in the collection.
What’s your Youtube channel name?
Same as my username here. I don’t have any voiced/edited content yet. I hope to have my first one done by end of January.
Good luck with it. Retro game corps does a decent overview of his setup which would probably help someone starting out. Pretty fascinating watch actually.

The .gitignore file there has been created 10 years ago and I am still using it, but only seldom update it, but still.
