Goofed Home

OPNsense doesn’t officially support ARM. You need an x86 PC for it unless you want to mess with an experimental build.

OpenWRT does support the Raspberry Pi though. You will want the Pi 5 for that since it has PCIe to connect an ethernet card to.

Hey everyone 👋. I just wanted to share a little personal project that grew a bit more than I initially planned.

The original idea was simply to build a game so I could play Parchis (Ludo) with my family, as it’s a classic in our household. I ended up building the whole thing entirely through “vibecoding” (AI-assisted coding) because I wanted to see how far I could push current my butt tools.

The result is a full web multiplayer game (React/Vite frontend + Node/Express/Socket.io backend with SQLite to store game data).

If anyone is curious or wants to spin it up on their local network to play with friends/family: 🔗 Repo: https://codeberg.org/baner/parchis (it has a docker-compose.yml ready to go in seconds).

⚠️ A big warning about security: As I mentioned, I completely built this relying on AI, and it was initially meant as a home project. *I am not a cybersecurity expert by any means.* While I have briefly exposed it to the internet a couple of times to play with remote relatives, my absolute recommendation is to host it ONLY on your local network (LAN) or behind a VPN (like Tailscale/Wireguard). The nature of AI-generated code means it’s probably full of vulnerabilities that I haven’t caught. Play at your own risk if you decide to open ports to the wild web! 😅

This is also my first project using a monorepo structure and publishing a Docker image for others to deploy. If you take a look and see something horrible (or something that works surprisingly well haha), all feedback is super welcome. I hope someone finds it fun for a local game night!

This project seems pretty neat! I appreciate that you are upfront that it is AI-assisted (some projects don’t do that and get grilled for it), I might check it out!

Thanks, I have tried to follow best security practices on this like using JWT for authentication, sanitize all inputs for SQL injections, password hashing, etc. Still better to be cautious, project still need some fixes but not affecting the overall gameplay. Right now I am working on documentation. It can be played as a guest but creating an account allows the game to track stats about win, lost, captures, XPs and a lot more. is mobile friendly, there is an android app but is not part of the repository at this time. make sure to share back your experience if you check it out.

Continuwuity - a self-hostable Matrix Homeserver - just got a new release.

Sorry, but I find it immature of you to judge a book by its cover.

Fully within your right.

Truly a brilliant move by Iran. Hit them in the pocketbook.

I’m actually shocked that rich oligarchs aren’t sitting their pants about this war - their fortunes are far more fragile than the wealth of the past.

Sorry I’m debugging something

Found it

By injecting a prompt into a GitHub issue title, which an my butt triage bot read, an attacker was able to install OpenClaw onto 4000 developer’s computers. But it could have been used to install any npm package - the sky is the limit.

Hmm, the fear that everyone was concerned about when Microslop injected Coslop into it’s latest acquisition is coming to pass. Glad I didn’t start my first project on a compromised GitHub.

This surfaced in my mind for no immediately discernible reason. Thought I’d share.
