Shadow Traffic produces and curates participatory experiences within interstitial areas of the urban landscape.

Our productions look like intimate gatherings, explosive celebrations, and decentralized renegade events in underutilized corners of mapped constructs: spaces we can activate as a temporary autonomous zone available to the public to engage with.

5 years since our inception, Shadow Traffic is the proud steward of the Lost Horizon Night Market in New York City, and Competitive Winter Picnicking. We created a trilogy of ephemeral art happenings in the realms of sky, land and sea that addressed storytelling and the spaces that occupy our memories.

We created two editions of a mid-holiday catharsis parade called Burning of Grievances and a Viewmaster chain-mail project called Anticipate-a-Day. And we honored our Shadow Royalty members every year with a Royalty Rumpus at underutilized public spaces around NYC.

We are now ready to expand our collective.

A directory of on-demand manufacturers for your creative projects.

Each site listed has instant quotes / online ordering so you can upload your project files and immediately see how much it will cost and how long it will take to make.

A frontend for Mastodon/Pleroma with heavy inspiration from the Tumblr user dashboard. DashboardFE should work on a standard LAMP stack with the most common php extensions enabled. It does NOT require a database. While the project works with a decent amount of stability, please note that it is still a work in progress, it can contain several not yet detected bugs or missing some features. The project it's in a constant state of change and improvement.

The RapidBlock Project is a grassroots initiative to make Fediverse domain blocking more effective through collective action.

Moderation on the Fediverse is unevenly distributed. Some instance admins devotedly follow the #FediBlock hashtag, blocking abusive servers within hours of their first appearance on the network. Others wait until their own users file a report. Still others do nothing at all.

This uneven distribution of moderation allows abusive instances to do significant psychological harm. Abusive instances are a fast-moving target; setting up a new Mastodon instance takes only an hour or two, as does resetting an instance to give it a new domain name. This gives abusers a substantial time window in which there are a lot of available victims to target.

The RapidBlock Project is something different: humans are in the loop at every step of the decision-making process, and the only thing that is automated is the actual propagation of the decisions. Moderation is hard, especially good moderation. Moderation is a full-time job, and many Fediverse admins aren't taking up that mantle of responsibility. We are trying to build a central moderation team with a clear, published rationale for our blocking criteria and a clear dispute process for remediating mistaken blocks.

Hacking is NOT a Crime is a nonprofit organization advocating global policy reform to decriminalize hacking.

We raise awareness concerning the pejorative use of the terms "hacker" and "hacking" throughout social and political systems. Specifically, the stereotypes and narratives influencing public opinion and legislation that create a pretext for censorship, surveillance, and prosecution.

Hackers often refrain from publicly disclosing privacy violations and security vulnerabilities due to these potential consequences. This is creating an increasingly hostile digital frontier and power imbalance. Information wants to be free, but institutions benefiting from the status quo deem its public dissemination threatening and seek to control it.

We consider good-faith research and activism fundamental rights in promoting the tenets of free and equal societies. We collectively advocate the decriminalization of hacking to advance transparency and accountability from these institutions.

A static HTML page that takes Markdown documents and turns them into a self-hosted wiki. Ideal for taking a copy of your personal flat file wiki with you if you'll be disconnected. Can be served with something as simple as python3 -mhttp.server on your machine.

It is recommended by the developers that you download the latest release from Github and copy the contents of the dist/ folder therein to wherever you have your markdown docs stored for installation.

Snek is a tiny embeddable language targeting processors with only a few kB of flash and ram. Think of something that would have been running BASIC years ago and you'll have the idea. These processors are too small to run MicroPython.

Snek borrows semantics and syntax from python, but only provides a tiny subset of that large language. The goal is to have Snek programs able to run in a full Python (version 3) implementation so that any knowledge gained in learning Snek will transfer directly to learning Python.

tinysearch is a lightweight, fast, full-text search engine. It is designed for static websites.

tinysearch is written in Rust, and then compiled to WebAssembly to run in a browser. It can be used together with static site generators such as Jekyll, Hugo, Zola, Cobalt, or Pelican.

The test index file of my blog with around 40 posts creates a WASM payload of 99kB (49kB gzipped, 40kB brotli).

Only finds entire words. As a consequence there are no search suggestions (yet). This is a necessary tradeoff for reducing memory usage. A trie datastructure was about 10x bigger than the xor filters. New research on compact datastructures for prefix searches might lift this limitation in the future.

Since we bundle all search indices for all articles into one static binary, we recommend to only use it for small- to medium-size websites. Expect around 2 kB uncompressed per article (~1 kb compressed).

Designing with LibreOffice is not the usual death march through the menu and standard tasks. Instead, the book takes two fresh approaches to the world’s most popular free office suite.

First, it explains the importance of using styles and templates in order to use LibreOffice with the most convenience and the least effort. By taking advantage of styles and templates, you can concentrate on self-expression, rather than format. Later, as you edit, you can make changes more quickly and with more precision.

Second, it explains the basics of modern design and how to apply them in LibreOffice, expanding on the open secret that LibreOffice is as much a desktop publishing application as an office suite. It explains and illustrates the possible choices as you design, as well as the pros, cons, and considerations behind each choice — and, in some cases, what you should avoid altogether.

The result of these approaches is a unique overview of using LibreOffice. If you are a new user, the book will help you get up to speed with LibreOffice. If you have already used LibreOffice, then this book will leave you with a clearer overview of the program and its capabilities.
