Side Fun Project - Forward2 A URL Shortener

Repo: https://github.com/loujr/forward2

Forward2 is a url shortener that takes long links and makes them shorter similar to any service you would find online. Everyone aspires to have living, useful code. I wanted to make my barrier of entry very low. This started out as a simple print to file minimal viable project and has ballooned to increasingly complex functionality. This project now utilizes two separate python services one to generate short links and the other to redirect you to the correct page. I have split the components to an API with the option of adding UI elements later. This is further integrated with another project you can find on my profile called MikeTysonBot.

I am a GitHub Staff member who works in our Ecosystems Teams. My speciality is API and integration hence why this program has API components. My goal is to work more on our platform development and continue to contribute code to our monolith.

Thanks so much for sharing @loujr! 🚀

[MikeyBeez]

Hello GitHub community!
As a retired technical architect, I'm dedicating my final years to contributing to the rapid progress of AI research. I'm excited to share my latest project, Ollama Agents, https://github.com/MikeyBeez/Ollama_Agents a repository that leverages free components for AI agent development.
What sets this project apart is its focus on local development, utilizing Ollama and Llama 3.1 8B to create a remarkably intelligent agent. The smart_agent.py program is capable of tackling complex research projects with impressive results.
I'd love for you to explore the repository and share your thoughts:
Unlike other frameworks like Crew or Langchain, Ollama Agents is designed specifically for local development, offering a unique approach to AI agent development.
Your feedback and suggestions are invaluable in helping me refine this project. Let's work together to accelerate AI advancements!
Feel free to modify it if you'd like, and I hope you get some great feedback on your project! https://github.com/MikeyBeez/Ollama_Agents

[ghostinhershell]

Love this, thank you for sharing @MikeyBeez!!! 🌮

[MikeyBeez]

I'm glad you like it. I think it's a unique project, because it doesn't require any paid cloud services. Most big projects are backed by for-profit AI companies. But AI is too important to be just for the wealthy. I'm not aware of any agent frameworks like mine. BTW, today I added a graph knowledgebase.

[PIYUSH1525]

love this

[gm3dmo]

I've a little project that showcases the GitHub API's. It's called The Power it's useful for teaching, learning and demonstrating how GitHub's API's work. The idea is to keep things simple by demonstrating an API endpoint in a single script such as create-repo.sh

[ghostinhershell]

Thanks so much for sharing @gm3dmo! For anyone interested in getting started with The Power, check out @loujr's post here: The Power: Scripts for Comprehensive Automated API Testing 🚀

[MikeyBeez]

Thanks, @gm3dmo. This may come in handy. I plan on having my agent write code eventually, so interacting with github is a necessity.

chessapi4j

Hi! I started this project last year and have been improving it, fixing errors and bugs along the way. This year, I picked it up again and made several improvements. It is a Java library that allows you to work with chess-related operations.

The library includes features like verifying legal positions and legal moves, working with PGN files, generating legal moves from a given position, and handling FEN strings.

Since chess is a game, many natural abstractions arise. Developing a relatively fast move generator was particularly challenging (I believe Java can't offer much more speed), while also ensuring it passed the standard unit tests for a move generator. The library includes many features, and perhaps I'm not doing a good job of describing them all.

I am just an amateur programmer, and I wrote this library because I wanted to create a server for an online chess website. As I started, I realized it was better to develop it as a separate project from the server, and then I realized it didn't have to be proprietary software, so I decided to share it, which led me to GitHub in the first place.

[jayantur13]

Hello, community.

I recently made a GitHub Bot named OctoPaji (refers to Github's Octo and Paji is Indian, Punjabi term meaning brother).

The bot posts gif on various Github events in a repository like opening and closing issue and PR, search for similar issue/PR, auto assign a maintainer and label the issue for now.

I am thinking of adding more. You can checkout the project in OctoPaji - GitHub Bot in GitHub Marketplace. Shoutout to @ThisIs-Developer for guiding me on the GitHub Marketplace Publishing Issue. You can also checkout more of projects in my GitHub profile.

Thanks for your attention.

[ThisIs-Developer]

I appreciate it! Keep up the great work

[vaishaliisingh]

Hello Everyone! My name is vaishali singh, i am a student from India and i recently made a project on simple blockchain implementations.

project repo link: https://github.com/vaishaliisingh/Blockchain-fundamentals

Project Description:
This project is a basic implementation of a blockchain using Python. The blockchain system includes essential features like creating blocks, managing transactions, and implementing a simple Proof of Work algorithm. The project demonstrates how a blockchain can be structured and maintained, showcasing key concepts such as mining, hashing, and validation.

Key Features:
Genesis Block Creation: The blockchain starts with a genesis block, which is the first block in the chain.
New Block Generation: Users can mine new blocks by solving a computational problem, adding them to the chain.
Transaction Management: The system allows users to create and store transactions, which are included in the next mined block.
Proof of Work: A basic Proof of Work algorithm is implemented, requiring miners to find a valid hash with specific characteristics (e.g., starting with four leading zeros).
Blockchain Validation: The blockchain can be validated by checking that each block’s hash and the previous block’s hash are consistent and correctly calculated.

How It Works:
The blockchain begins with the creation of the genesis block.
Users can add transactions, which are stored in a list until a new block is mined.
When mining a block, the Proof of Work algorithm requires finding a nonce that generates a valid hash.
Once mined, the block is added to the blockchain, and the transactions are cleared for the next block.
A simple validation method ensures the integrity of the entire blockchain by checking the hashes of all blocks.

Technologies Used:
Python
Hashlib for SHA-256 hashing
JSON for encoding block data
Basic concepts of blockchain, including Proof of Work and transaction handling

This project serves as a foundational demonstration of how blockchain technology works, making it an excellent starting point for understanding more complex blockchain systems and applications.

fan_control (https://github.com/TarikTornes/fan_control)

Hey everyone I am an undergrad student from Luxembourg and I am new to the OpenSource world and to C and therefore decided to create a small project which is a daemon called fan_control.

It started when I wanted to build my own little DIY homeserver with a Raspberry Pi 4B, and decided to cool it with a small cooling system which uses a fan. It bothered me that the only option was to run it permanently on full speed, so I decided to build my own little project in order to fix my issue and improve my C knowledge by coding a small daemon which checks the temperature of the Raspi and adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature.

I am sharing it with you to hopefully get feedback and suggestion according to my style of coding, efficiency and everything about creating a OpenSource project, since I am quite new to this.

Feel free to give me feedback of any kind, wether it is a comment below or as an issue on my repo.
You can find the project here

PS: You can also give feedback to my other repos.

[blazgocompany]

This is a nice idea, but how much value does this add on top of the existing functionality? Other than fine-tuning the modal, what did you do to further extend the capabilities of LLaMa? Are you planning to add additional features on top of what you have?

[ThisIs-Developer]

This is a nice idea, but how much value does this add on top of the existing functionality? Other than fine-tuning the modal, what did you do to further extend the capabilities of LLaMa? Are you planning to add additional features on top of what you have?

Thank you for your question!

Planned Updates:
I am planning to continuously update the LLaMa model with the latest medical research, improve contextual understanding, add a symptom checker, and enhance summarization of complex medical articles. I also plan to expand its knowledge with additional medical sources. However, as I am the sole developer on this project, these updates will take time.

The Moby Thesaurus Browser & Game

https://github.com/adriaan29A/moby/
If you're a fan of words and sayings as I am you might enjoy browsing the Moby Thesaurus in multi-colored word clouds where the colors convey word frequency values taken from Google''s Trillion Word Corpus. This is a React JS "static" web page with ~20MB of (so far) uncompressed JSON containing the thesaurus + metadata. It works offline as long as you keep the browse/ tab open.

You might laugh when you realize how the word cloud effect is done. I've never been overly fond of word clouds to convey information but here I think they kind of work. It's arguably useful to filter the more common (higher frequency) terms in and out of view; in practice its a necessity to play the game as that involves finding the rare(er) synonyms along paths.. Importantly, relative word positions don't change with zoom level, Plus it's pretty easy to implement and involves solving some neat mini problems and a fun way to learn a little JS and React etc as I'm still very much a newbie in this area. The README has some screen records of browsing and playing the game. I opened up a discussion for this initial release and will comment a bit further there along the lines of motivation/history & future ideas, thanks!
