End Overdose is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in California with a national reach working to end drug-related overdose deaths through education, medical intervention, and public awareness.
Our ethos is built around a singular, unwavering mission: to prevent and respond to overdoses with precision, innovation, and action. We are committed to constantly developing and refining our strategies, leveraging data, feedback, and the latest technology to ensure our methods remain effective. By concentrating our efforts on critical aspects of overdose prevention and maintaining clear communication, we maximize our impact and inspire collective action.
Efficiency and sustainability are core to our operations, allowing us to build a robust infrastructure for long-term impact. We empower young people through peer-to-peer education, mobilize communities for active involvement, and prioritize accessibility to ensure lifesaving resources reach those in need.
50 chapters, almost 1500 volunteers. Over half a million test strips given out. Over a quarter million narcan kits distributed. Almost half a million people trained.
Microwindows or Nano-X is a small graphical windowing system that implements both Win32 and Nano-X (X11-like) APIs for clipped graphics drawing in windows on Linux, Mac OS X, EMSCRIPTEN, Android and other platforms. It is Open Source and licenced under the the Mozilla Public License. For creating GUIs, the Nuklear immediate mode GUI, Win32 builtin controls, and TinyWidget's controls based on Nano-X are included. FLTK can be used with the X11 compability library NX11.
Some of the supported platforms are listed at the bottom on the left side. Next to that there are available screen drivers, mouse drivers and keyboard drivers. The Nano-X / Microwindows engine is the core code that implements all drawing and clipping, with the Win32 and Nano-X graphical windowing APIs implemented in seperately configurable layers on top of that. The engine is configured to use various OS platforms and associated screen, mouse and keyboard drivers, or bare hardware. The Nano-X API and the Win32 APIs are used to write applications. To provide close X11 compatibility the NX11 library can be built on top of the Nano-X API, which allows X11 applications to be linked and run without recompilation. The FLTK GUI toolkit runs based on NX11.
In many countries, websites, social media and blogs are controlled by oppressive leaders. Young people, in particular, are forced to grow up in systems where their opinion is heavily manipulated by governmental disinformation campaigns. But even where almost all media is blocked or controlled, the world’s most successful computer game is still accessible. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) uses this loophole to bypass internet censorship to bring back the truth – within Minecraft.
Providing access to independent information to young people around the world through a medium they can playfully interact with. Journalists from five different countries now have a place to make their voices heard again, despite having been banned, jailed, exiled and even killed. Their forbidden articles were republished in books within Minecraft, giving readers the chance to inform themselves about the real political situation in their countries and learn the importance of press freedom.

PyDPainter, pronounced "Pied Painter" (like Pied Piper), is an attempt to create a usable pixel art program in Python using PyGame. The original inspiration came from the Commodore Amiga version of Deluxe Paint released by Electronic Arts in 1985. Back then, Deluxe Paint helped define the user interface of a paint program with tool bars, menus, and the novel use of left and right mouse buttons for painting and erasing. After pixel art gave way to photo-realism and high-resolution 24 bit color, Deluxe Paint was largely forgotten for artistic work -- left behind in the ever-progressing march of technology.
Recently, with a resurgence of all things "retro," low-resolution pixel art and limited color palettes have become popular once again. Many tools to deal with this medium are either too complicated or too crude. This project is an attempt to bring back an old but reliable tool and enhance it with some features to help it better coexist in the modern world.
Initial research question: “What are the most effective governance and administration models/structures in place on medium-to-large sized Fediverse servers, and what infrastructural gaps (human and digital) persist?”
Our rationale at the project’s outset: “The Fediverse’s rapid expansion brings both opportunities and multifaceted risks. Our research seeks to identify current server administrators’ most promising models for mitigating those risks and outline the biggest and most important gaps in risk mitigation, with the aim of helping the broader Fediverse level up governance quickly, safely, and collaboratively.”
We were drawn to this research question because the socio-technical aspects of Fediverse governance often seem opaque from the outside—from outside any given server, and especially from outside the Fediverse. Most servers offer some documentation about their practices and a few offer extensive explanations and policies, but whole swathes of knowledge about the aspects of server management that extends beyond the more purely technical concerns of hosting, provisioning, and technical upkeep exists only as insider knowledge.
Above all, we wanted to understand more about what happens behind the curtain of Fediverse server operation, and distribute this knowledge widely to help other server teams level up together—and perhaps to uncover characteristics of server governance that might be meaningful to others trying to build sustainable alternatives to centralized commercial platforms, whether on the Fediverse or elsewhere.
Huey is a task queue written in Python that uses Redis, SQLite, a flat file, or in-memory storage as its backing store. Supports multiprocess environments, multithreaded applications, and greenlet tasks. Tasks can be scheduled in a cron-like fashion. Failed tasks are automatically retried. Tasks can be prioritized, their results stored and automatically expired. Task locking implemented. Task pipelines and chains can be constructed.
Lightweight, tries to have no dependencies outside of the standard Python library but if you want to use Redis as its backing store you need to install the Redis Python module. Decorators are used to tag functions as Huey tasks which automatically go into the queue.
This board helps test floppy drives of several different types:
- Standard IBM 34-pin drives (3.5" and 5.25")
- IBM PS/2 40-pin drives with embedded power connections
- Shugart 8" floppy drives
- Apple II (original Disk II)
- HP 34-pin drives (as found in many 9122 enclosures)
- HP 26-pin drives (found in older enclosures and machines)
- IBM 31SD and 51TD floppy drives
The board basically breaks out every signal to a control switch, indicator LED, or test point. It's not designed as a flux imaging tool--it's just a simple way to exercise features of a floppy drive.
There is an optional section of the board that is a step controller for the head stepper motor. This controller has an encoder wheel and a small 7-segment display. It will let you select and automatically step to a particular track.
Uses an ATmega328PB microcontroller as its CPU.
Departure Mono is a monospaced pixel font with a lo-fi technical vibe inspired by the visual constraints of early command-line and text mode user interfaces. Think 80's dot matrix printers, ancient documents, airline tickets, and receipts.
Excels with tabular data. Includes characters for drawing in text mode. Seems to cover the classic IBM 256 character set. Includes .woff and .woff2 versions for web design.
Welcome to NONoWriMo.org, the website for "Not the Official Novel Writing Month." This site is not affiliated with the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organization, whose website can be found at nanowrimo.org.
The table below contains links to regional monthly-novel-writing groups that are unaffiliated with, or have divested from, the official NaNoWriMo organization. The list is currently hand-managed, so it may take a day or two after form submission for groups to be added to this page.
A Commodore 64 Mastodon Client. A C64 compatible wifi modem and terminal software are required. Consists of a local proxy server written in Python running on a machine somewhere on your home network, requires an app (API key) on your instance of choice. Connect to your local network using your wifi modem and use your favorite terminal software to dial into the port it's listening on (default: 6502/tcp).
While we love the idea of National Novel Writing Month, we're pretty fed up with what the organization behind it is doing. We're currently actively developing an alternative site, focused on the values and community focus that made NaNoWriMo great, but without the negative sides the organization has brought to the table.
"Make your insurance company cry too!"
We'll help you to write an appeal to fight your health insurance denial. While an appeal is not always the first step in the health insurance appeal process we'll guide you through the options to fight back against health insurance denials. Almost all health plans are required to offer internal and external appeals and while they often make it confusing we can help.
RACE is an open source project aimed at developing technologies to provide metadata-anonymous, secure, and resilient messaging for users around the world. RACE provides anonymity by routing messages through an overlay network of volunteer servers using cryptographic algorithms that prevent a malicious subset of these servers from determining who is messaging whom. RACE uses specialized networking protocols to prevent connections between individual members of the network from being detected or blocked. RACE is built to run in a dockerized linux environment and on Android devices.
