SecretMemoryLocker – File Encryption Without Static Passwords
I built SecretMemoryLocker (https://secretmemorylocker.com), a file encryption tool that generates keys dynamically from your answers to personal questions instead of using a static master password. This makes offline brute-force attacks much more difficult. Think of it as a password manager that meets mnemonic seed recovery, but without storing any sensitive keys on disk. Why? I kept losing master passwords and wanted a solution that wasn't tied to a single point of failure. I also wanted to create a "digital legacy" that my family could access only under specific conditions. The…

In plain words
SecretMemoryLocker is a file encryption tool that generates encryption keys from answers to personal questions rather than using a static master password. No sensitive keys are stored on disk. The tool is designed for users who want to secure files without relying on a single password or point of failure, and it supports creating conditional access for digital legacies. An MVP version is available for Windows, with Linux and macOS planned. The interface supports English, Spanish, and Ukrainian.

SecretMemoryLocker2025 · secretmemorylocker.com · ▲8Passwords, accounts, and digital files get lost more often than we admit. Traditional password managers don’t solve the problem of organizing everything for the long term. SecretMemoryLocker is a secure archive that works like a Q&A system for your digital life. It helps you recover lost information, keep accounts organized, and also prepare for digital legacy if needed. I’d love to know: how do you currently handle digital data recovery and organization?

I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
