Created a 3D scene editor and explorer: midnightcoffee.greenrobot.com

You can create 3d objects in the creator and move them around, or go to the explore page to see what the scenes that have been created and saved. Here’s a screenshot:

Find the 3d scene editor/viewer here:

I’d like to let users create their own scenes that would be playable in games I’m working on using this technology. Shout out to TripoSR for the 3d model generation open source code, and Lenovo for the cheap powerful PC running it.

Watch out for problem with having a .git folder inside a public html folder on an Apache server

I was notified about a security vulernability from an email and LinkedIn message that my files were available in cleartext from the .git folder on my site feather.greenrobot.com because I didn’t have an .htaccess file prohibiting it. As far as I know data wasn’t accessed, just my code including database credentials. feather.greenrobot.com currently has 3 users.


One way to do it is this line in .htaccess:
RedirectMatch 404 /.git

Another way I do it is not putting the git repository in the public_html folder, but one level up not being served by Apache.

The same applies for .svn folders. I don’t know if svn is like git in that the clear text of the code is available inside it’s dot folder, but it’s best to prohibit it in the same way as git I think.

My PC server has bad memory, waiting for a replacement.

My PC server running AI software keeps crashing so I tested the memory, and yep it’s bad. My sites and apps listed below won’t work generating content as I only have 1 server, and it’s down.
