Hermes – Self-hosted video downloader

I've been playing with my home server again, and I was looking for a video downloader. I found one that looked great, but was no longer functional. So, I vibe-coded my own. Hermes is a REST API and web app built on top of yt-dlp. Why not just use yt-dlp? Additional features, phone support, and automations. Coming soon will be a very basic video editor so you can easily remux and trim your downloaded videos.

Strange Attractors▲804
I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
