Introducing HARDTOPnet GitHub projects

This is not specifically related to Minecraft but you can now check my various projects on my GitHub page.
For now I only have a handful of projects, but more will come. Here are details on some projects:

CertificateExpirationWatcher

Now Let's Encrypt has removed expiration notices for free plans, I wanted to do something super lightweight to remind me about my certificates without having to resort to an external service.

FileWatcherExec

This is a small utility that watches a folder for new files, then executes a custom program on each new file.
I did this to monitor a Steam screenshots folder and display every new screenshot I take on another computer.
I wanted to review all screenshots to ensure they didn't have unwanted elements I would have missed (like UI), bad face expressions, or poor framing.

Don't hesistate to check it out!

Resuming work on PiXXL
New blocks are underway

It was a slow year, somehow having a toddler when you're in your 40's is pretty challenging :)
This post to inform you all that work is picking up speed again on PiXXL!

Here's the latest design for 1.20: bamboo blocks variants.
You can find out more on this Patreon post.

Take care !
