• Dec 26: I am currently considering buying an refurbished Macbook since my 12V Macbook is a 2010 model. I was looking at the various offers on backmarket.com and when I finally decided to get money from retirement plan, I got an SMS from MondialRelay who used to block my parcels - after initially just snooping. It is an SMS from their official platform but contains a phishing URL. My telecom operator - Free - and my bank - Crédit Mutuel gave this information. For now, it is not clear if backmarket.com and UPS will also take part in the extortion.

• Dec 10: The very first day I started researching my article on the Forez crusading family in the François Mitterrand French National Library, someone opened my locker (one has to leave all personal belongings in a locker before being able to enter the library) and left it wide open. I started using scotch tape to see if someone continued to open it and today someone had simply folded it back on itself - in order for this to be as obvious as possible - I also got a call from the Viagra numbers when it happened - I did file an official complaint this time.

• Dec 9: Besides always switching off my cellphone, I started using cash to prevent further identification of the supermarkets I was using. I used my Crédit Mutuel card to draw some money from an ATM and 20 minutes later I received a notification from my N26 card (Crédit Mutuel's mobile app cannot send free text notifications) that I had nothing to worry about and I could continue to use my card.

• Dec 7: I was preparing to go to sleep at a parking in Le Mée-sur-Seine - I had not turned off my cellphone - when someone dressed as private security officer armed with a flashlight knocked on my door - he told me that he wanted to see my face because I did not speak very well French and could have been a pedophile - I got out of the van and saw that he was driving a car with German registration - I hesitated calling the police but alas impersonating a private security officer is not a felony - unlike impersonating a police officer. Still, one must note the very slight increase in cerebral activity since one year ago when the real police came armed to my home to try to intimidate me - someone had told them that by using the codeword conspiracy they could prevent me from saying what happened.

• Dec 2: Since I declared my new postal address at the Salvation Army, someone subscribed me to the LIDL newsletter at this address. This is the address I gave to the Post Office in order to forward my mail - because of a character length limitation it was written in a very peculiar way. The Post Office has been giving access to my mail for almost 10 years now and LIDL provide access to my shopping receipts since at least 2022.

• Nov 26: I am one of the homeless people present at the camp next to the French Minister in charge of Housing protesting against the lack of shelters for homeless people, I usually provide night watch

• Nov 25: Someone is posting in the DAL WhatsApp group simultaneous with the same calls I have been getting.

• Nov 25: Since I created a TikTok account a few days ago, I have been getting simultaneous notifications from them with calls from the Viagra numbers. It is not immediately clear if TikTok or Google are the ones doing this. Google have greatly contributed to the anatomy investigation since day 1 by kindly providing access to my emails.

• Nov 19-23: After trying - unsuccessfully - to play the "you are imagining things" game in the open-source geospatial data world, first for $5/month, then for $50/month, Mr. Biggus tried the same using my family in Bulgaria for 300€. My ultra-conservative family, an ideal model family for people studying Freud, was involved in the very first phase of this affair - being misled into helping lead the investigation into my anatomy and eventual sexual practices - including interviewing all my ex-girlfriends on the false pretense that they helping me to recover from a problem. Shame and the fact that some members of my extended family seem to have accepted payment in order to mislead my immediate family made that they took the decision to back the extortion. They still maintain that they do not know anything. This same investigation is also what motivated the initial false rape charges - use the police to retrieve a couple of sex tapes and my sex toys. Psychiatrists will have the final say in this affair, but I strongly suspect that the underlying unconscious driver of this extreme voyeurism was a case of projection. I am sorry, Mr. Biggus, but I invite you once again to check the prices for prostitution involving weird sexual practices in the highly-educated world. Also, I remind you that while the sex work laws vary greatly across different countries, forced sex work is highly criminal in every jurisdiction.

• Nov 22: I am on the way to solve my electricity problem, I have installed a 220v charger that allows me the charge the cell batteries at RV charging stations - there is a few of them around Paris - and I will soon have a dedicated gasoline electricity generator - this will allow me to use my 12v Macbook Air at will. It will also allow me to use my very efficient Webasto diesel heater instead of running the main engine. This morning I woke up at 1.5° in the van.

• Nov 14: First night in a homeless shelter. Once I have stable access to electricity, I will probably start a French/English language blogs detailing my experience with this, hopefully final, phase of my affair. When I received my SMS with my code, I also received another SMS from the French government-run volunteer register. A few years ago, when I became permanently unemployed, I tried becoming a volunteer teacher for IT skills for people in need. I got a refusal and ever since, I often get a text from them simultaneous with some other event. For example, during one of my last job interviews - with a French state-run agency who spontaneously contacted me - they tried to convince me that I lacked the needed experience for working as an entry-level PHP developer - and then I got a simultaneous SMS from the national volunteer register. It is not very clear if this is organized with the state agency running the homeless shelters or simply with my telecom operator which has been kindly providing my traffic dumps and call logs.

• Nov 13: I was finally able to obtain a place in a homeless shelter run by the French state, however the first night I did not get the SMS that was supposed to get me there. I have become a regular member of DAL, a non-profit that defends the rights of homeless people, and I am regularly attending all their actions and protests. This is the first time I am taking part in any form of political activism since the fall of the Berlin wall 30 years ago. As I am ideologically very close to the Salvation Army, I decided to use them as my current postal address. This is also one of the very few groups of people I regularly meet for the last 5 or 6 years that haven't tried to convince me that I suffer from psychosis - mostly using dicks and viagra - and the very first time since 2022. The very few other occasions were several groups of fellow paragliding pilots I have met in the French Alps - and my first Star Citizen orgs - before CIG decided to lend a hand.

• Nov 4: I was able to retrieve most of my items from my home, now I have warm clothes and cold is no longer that much of a problem, I liquidated some stocks to rent a storage box and moved my stuff there for the time being. Electricity is still a huge problem because my campervan was made for summer use and the solar energy available in Paris during the winter is next to none.

• Oct 29: I was offered a job and return to relative normalcy if I accept to stop talking about this affair - which obviously I can no longer allow. If you are curious about the company where this is business as usual - the recruiting agency is Welcome to the Jungle (name checks out) with offices in the US, France, Spain and other countries, the company is Discngine and the offer was relayed though the French state unemployment office which have been involved in this affair since I was fired for filing a complaint.

• Oct 27: I am trying to find a place in a homeless shelter. France being a social welfare state, this situation would normally be impossible to happen, but in this case, there was at least some degree of criminal complicity by all parties involved.

• Oct 24: I am now homeless and living in my van. I lost access to most of my computer hardware. The eviction from my home has been timed for maximum effect as I was not present when it happened. I have only a single set of clothes and no means to get anything else. Please, if you use my software, consider asking everyone around you if they are taking part in this extortion and why.

I am an unemployed IT engineer living on social welfare in a legal no-man's-land and working full-time on open-source software.

You can find a brief summary of my situation at the end.

My current main area of expertise is linking C++ and JavaScript.

My main projects are:

• SWIG JavaScript Evolution - An automatic bindings generator/compiler for C/C++ libraries, produces dual-environment bindings - Node.js native addon and a WASM bundle
• The hadron build system for JavaScript - A meson-based alternative to node-gyp that supports dual-environment C/C++ projects, conan integration and can use xPacks for a completely self-contained build that does not assume anything about the user host
• libnode - a GSoC-sponsored project that allows to easily call JavaScript subroutines from C++ using Node-API - alas, this project is currently frozen at Node.js 18.x since I have been banned from interacting with the Node.js' projects on github (see my story at the end for more details on this incident)
• nobind17 - an experiment in developing the next generation automatic bindings for C++ and JavaScript - inspired by pybind11 but with a focus on C++17

Additionally, I have authored and maintain a number of bindings of C/C++ libraries for JavaScript:

• magickwand.js

  The SWIG JSE showcase project, fully automatic SWIG JSE-generated bindings for ImageMagick for JavaScript - 400k of C++ code generated with 600 lines of SWIG code, native addon in Node.js, WASM bundle in the browser, web-bundler friendly, async support and TypeScript support

• node-gdal-async

  Fork of the no longer maintained gdal/gdal-next GDAL bindings for Node.js An early generation Node.js addon using NAN, I transformed the sync bindings in async bindings

  • ndarray-gdal is the scijs plugin
  • gdal-exprtk is the ExprTk.js plugin

• everything-json

  Node-API manual bindings for simdjson, the fastest JSON parser in the world, the everything JSON parser for Node.js - asynchronous, very high performance, yieldable and with partial decoding support - check it to see why JSON parsing is such a problem in Node.js (it is synchronous!)

• sqlite-wasm-http

  embind semi-automatic bindings for sqlite3 for WASM with a transparent SQL over plain HTTP support, inspired by phiresky's original implementation for sqlite.js

• @mmomtchev/ffmpeg

  The nobind17 showcase project, semi-automatic nobind17 bindings for ffmpeg for Node.js - complete with a native streams API, async support and Typescript support

• proj.js

  Another SWIG JSE project, still under development, fully automatic SWIG JSE-generated bindings for a project with advanced C++17 features

• ExprTk.js / jeetah

  Node-API manual bindings for ExprTk for Node.js including an experimental JIT compiler that allows to run parallel vector calculations on TypedArrays without being constrained by the V8 monothreaded model

My other projects:

• documentation-polyglot - a plugin that adds C++ support to documentation.js via the new plugin framework that I am currently making
• documentation-hipster - is a beautiful documentation.js Bootstrap-based theme with support for TypeScript and React components - one of its goals is to provide an almost drop-in replacement for the seemingly dying react-styleguidist project
• yatag - is a tool that I use to generate the TypeScript type definitions in most of my projects, it is slowly reaching maturity
• Queue - is a rather simple but useful package for rate-limiting access to external APIs
• @mmomtchev/node-pre-gyp-github - an almost complete rewrite of the popular node-pre-gyp-github abandoned by its author, compatible with the current version of the GitHub API
• SharedMap - is a Map that can be accessed by multiple worker_threads

• rlayers - a set of React components for creating online maps with OpenLayers
• ol-mbtiles - an Openlayers plugin adding MBTiles support
• intercity.js - a still unreleased Work-In-Progress for a dynamic data WMTS/WMS/WCS/WFS server for Node.js
• query-mvt - a simple CLI tool and a Node.js/browser library for retrieving geographical data directly from public map services without the need for an API, special server software or any keys, works with Qwant Maps and all other map services that serve MVT/PBF tiles (Google Maps uses a proprietary format)
• geosub - A tool for partial downloading of bands and subwindows from geospatial raster datasets from cloud storage, it is an Amazon AWS-compatible replacement for NOAA's own g2sub
• geoapi - is an open-source server that can translate lat:long coordinates to postal codes (a free GeoNames API), it is based on the proprietary geodata in velivole
• europe-geodata - a collection of freely available geographical information for Europe

• igc-xc-score - an open-source solution for scoring paragliding XC competitions - which is a very interesting linear optimization problem with a O(n^5) worst case complexity
• XC-DB - an open-source interactive browser for paragliding flight tracks implemented in React, Redux and rlayers for the front-end and Node.js, Express, gdal-async and ndarray for the back-end
• velitherm - an open-source library of basic thermodynamics equations used in soaring weather
  • velitherm-visu - is an online air parcel calculator in React that uses the library
• igc-admin-analyze - a tool for analyzing IGC flight logs giving a percentage of time spent above given administrative divisions defined by their GeoJSON borders

• orbitron - a tool for making .gif and .mp4 animations of orbiting bodies out of the NASA/JPL Horizons data

• react-native-settings - an all-in-one component for creating cross-platform settings (preferences) screens with React Native
• react-edit-list - an universal editable ListView React component that can interact with an external API
• @mmomtchev/expo-android-localized-app-name - an expo plugin for having a localized app name in managed React Native workflows

I also do lots of browser JS / web development:

• velivole.fr / meteo.guru - is a free soaring weather site for paragliding, hang-gliding and sail-plane pilots. It is complex application which includes a vanilla JS / OpenLayers 6 / custom webpack front-end, an Express.js/Node.js backend and a Node.js/C++ computational engine for specialized numerical weather prediction that consists of a secondary model running on top of the French and German national weather models. You can see an overview of velivole/meteo.guru here and explore its API here. The website includes a number of GIS innovations, including the remote querying of MVT data using query-mvt. It is also the very first site in the world to support the displaying of remote MBTiles maps using ol-mbtiles. Almost all of my GIS software listed above is used in some way on this site.
• xc-db.velivole.fr - an open-sourced navigator/explorer that can uses basic machine-learning (an algorithm loosely based on K-means clustering) to deduce the typical routes pilots will take depending on the prevailing winds by classifying all paragliding flights of the French Federal Distance Cup of the French Paragliding Association. Node.js/Express.js/gdal-async backend with a React/Redux/rlayers front-end. No mobile version available at the moment. The sites is a demonstration of the capabilities of gdal-async used with Express.js and rlayers as it includes a dynamically computed particle visualization entirely in React/rlayers that uses an SQL database with 700M lines.
• isitplausible.com - a StackOverflow-inspired website for analyzing the scientific accuracy of Sci-Fi movies, books and video games. Node.js/Express.js backend with React/Next.js, this was my first foray in the world of server-side rendering with React.
• scodex.garga.net - the first attempt of creating an universal Codex website for the (forever) upcoming Star Citizen by CIG with information extracted from the game files using scdatatools in Node.js / TypeScript environment with pymport. The site also makes heavy use of gdal-async, rlayers, node-magickwand and scijs through ndarray-gdal because it includes detailed 2D/3D maps of the planets and some basic extrasolar astronomy. Backend-less design with server-rendered React using Next.js 13.
• aircalc.velivole.fr - a thermodynamics air parcel calculator for weather, online version of velitherm-visu, raw React.
• xc-score - online version of * igc-xc-score - vanilla JS with a custom webpack.

• velivole-mobile - the open-sourced mobile counterpart to velivole.fr, in its current iteration it is based on React Native / expo.

• r/dataisbeautiful - a collection of data visualizations produced with magickwand.js and node-ffmpeg
• EDCarnage - an Electron tool for tracking stacked massacre missions in Elite: Dangerous

Besides writing software, I have been trying, for almost 10 years now, to create a video as stunningly beautiful as this one that I saw when I started paragliding. I have come a long way since I started in 2012.

I also used to spent lots of time doing blue water sailing before my affair spiraled out of control.

I am an active member of the French Paragliding and Hang-gliding Federation https://www.ffvl.fr and (currently) an inactive member of the French Sailing Federation https://www.ffvoile.fr.

Should I have funding (it is absolutely pointless to seek any deals involving this affair since I am obviously ready to not have enough to eat in order to win), the following projects could see the light of the day:

• jimport - the inverse of pymport - instantly gain the most significant advantage of Node.js when using Django - sharing code with the front-end - at the cost of a significantly increased memory footprint - but without any execution time penalties

  • this project is currently blocked by the libnode situation

• A spiritual successor to SWIG that uses the LLVM front-end to generate cross-language bindings using pybind11, embind and nobind17

• Porting the Python dynamic linker to the WASM platform - this would allow to have a full Python interpreter - compatible with all Python modules - as a platform-independent WASM binary - that could run even in the browser - and/or be transparently installed by npm

I am an unemployed IT engineer living on social welfare in a legal no-man's-land and working full-time on open-source software.

An ex-employer of mine who needed to prove something of sexual nature to his immediate entourage (all of this happened after I left his company):

• Tried buying people in my entourage - I was in my late 20s - in order to play games of intimate nature with people I knew
• Bought someone in my extended family in Bulgaria (I am a Bulgarian national who has spent most of his adult life in France) to serve as a cover story - in fact this person had little to do with most of this affair
• Ended organizing false rape charges - on three different occasions - investigated twice by the French "police" - once going through a criminal courts - where the affair was covered up by the judges and a lawyer with a Wikipedia page who is the current president of the French ADL - as the affair had far reaching consequences for several politically exposed names in French IT business and politics - and involved Parisian night-life, various legal and illegal drugs, ED enhancers and unusual sexual practices - it was covered up without any proceedings or written documents
• Normally, at this point, I should have received a huge severance package and everything should have stopped here - however as the guy who started it all was unable to admit the very reason that motivated the whole affair, everything did continue
• My extended family in Bulgaria - who hardly knew me - fell easily to the promise that everything could be "fixed" - without going public with the sexual details - and by the time they realized their error, they had already committed numerous felonies - it should also be noted that the generation of my parents grew up during the Brezhnev era - when an affair involving sexual deviation by a man in position of power - and backed the by police - would have been absolutely impossible to win - fact that was ruthlessly exploited by elements having a political police background who were recruited by political means through the Council of Europe
• At this point they tried extorting me with all the sexual elements of the affair - without any success - from this point on the French police started taking active part in the affair
• In order to stop me from talking, my next employer took part in an absolutely shocking sexual harassment - including references to penises and viagra - all while pretending that it was all a coincidence and I was being psychotic
• Absolutely the same game started in the paragliding world - by buying off people and offering sponsorships - most of them official - as at this point, the involvement of the police and courts offered total immunity
• After a few years, I started developing a psychosomatic response linked to the pronunciation of certain words - those that were used to make me react in order to say that I was seeing things - at this point the affair passed through the official French work-illness commission - and it was once again covered up
• When it became impossible to pretend that nothing happened, I was fired from my job - a psychiatrist appointed by my employer declared me psychotic - and then another round of lawsuits were covered up - adding many new lawyers and judges to the affair - including at the EU level - where I sued the French state for denying me the right to a fair trial
• From this point on, I have been working on open source software while living on social welfare with a few bucks per day - and much of what happened earlier is being repeated in the open source projects I have worked in
• My phone company, my bank and my insurance company have all been involved - frequently showing it clearly as an intimidation tactic
• Last year, I was banned from the Node.js project after the French police came - illegally - to my home - with their guns drawn - to try to intimidate me - during the next few days all projects I had worked in posted simultaneous messages - and Node.js banned me because I said what had happened
• By now, the affair has included companies such as Google, Facebook, X (Twitter), Microsoft and Amazon - many of them - especially Google - being involved in the penis games - and the extortion - for example recently my insurance company stole part of my food money from me by falsifying documents - and then they went to simultaneously send me an SMS along with a message in a Google-backed opensource project to show me that it was part of the extortion
• It also includes all my online accounts - even things like my Discord, Steam, Spotify, Sonetel, CIG (producers of Star Citizen - this affair is very active there at the moment) - or for example even my uptimerobot.com - where recently they did take part in a DoS against my website by Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon

I am being offered a job - if I accept to never talk about this affair again - and accept that the penis game continues - because the organizer of the affair needs to be able to explain it - and because this game is impossible when I am talking. Because this cannot be organized in a normal company, I must also accept a dummy position in a criminal team where I won't be allowed to work - in order to stop the affair from blowing. Neither of these is acceptable to me - the sexual harassment or to not be allowed to work.

I have started maintaining a list of the companies where the kind of deal I am offered is possible - there are some very large French and US companies in it - you can find it here.

I am maintaining a large number of binary Node.js projects - if you use any of them, you should know that I am ready to provide pre-built binaries for Macbooks with Apple Silicon if someone provides me a remote access to such hardware. If paying by the hour, expect about an hour of average daily usage. If you care only about the software and do not want be involved with the criminal affair, there are various options for anonymous sponsorship.
