Linus Torvalds about SLOC as a measurement of productivity. 😅
My current PC is from 2013, so I never even bothered to check, but as it turns out: My motherboard still has a serial port. 🤯 I thought these had long died out by then. To be honest, I didn’t have the need for one, either, not until recently … So I completely lost track if PCs have these things or not.
All I needed was one of those slot-cable-thingies. (And if the order of pins is correct, then it actually works. 🤦)

Cool! One less USB device. 😃
This is an example of the kind of garbage release notes from this conventional commit autogenerated crap 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de What about a drop bear? 🧐🤣😆
That would be my dream job: Weighing penguins. 😍
I don’t know what this fruit is called! The waiter at breakfast told me the Vietnamese name but I’ve since forgotten 😂
FWIW, day 03 and day 04 where solved on SuSE Linux 6.4:

Performance really is an issue. Anything is fast on a modern machine with modern Python. But that old stuff, oof, it takes a while … 😅
Should have used C or Java. 🤪 Well, maybe I do have to fall back on that for later puzzles. We’ll see.
@bender@twtxt.net That’s the best one of them. An almonds cake with hazelnut chocolate glaze. The one in front is similar, but with chocolate only. Gingerbread on the right. But it develops the best flavor and consistency only in a few weeks, right now it’s quite hard like a rock, but it will soften up.
All those years I always said that my teammates are THE VERY BEST I ever had. Fuck me, look at that, I didn’t leave the company, just changed projects and this is my farewell present: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/abschiedsgeschenk-2025-12-03.jpg How absolutely beautiful is that, I’m in awe! Now I feel even worse deserting. :‘-(
This emblem is the fleur-de-lis of the world scout movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Organization_of_the_Scout_Movement#WOSM_emblem I reckon I must have mentioned casually that I’m a scout. ;-)
Let’s hope that the two cakes turn out better than last week: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/tote-und-lebendige-kuchen-2025-12-02.jpg Got some gingerbread as backup. Yeah, best lighting…
Day 2 was pretty tough on my old hardware. Part 1 originally took 16 minutes, then I got it down to 9 seconds – only to realize later that my solution abused some properties of my particular input. A correct solution will probably take about 30 seconds. 🫤
Part 2 took 29 minutes this morning. I wrote an optimized version but haven’t tested it yet. I hope it’ll be under a minute.
Python 1 feels really slow, even compared to Java 1. And these first puzzles weren’t even computationally intensive. We’ll see how far I’ll make it …
Saw this thing today 🧐
Found this place in Hanoi in Vietnam 🥳 Amazinf beer!!! 🍺
Sharing some photos of our Vietnam trip so far…
Day 1 was surprisingly finnicky. A lot of people got it wrong, apparently. Me too. 🤣
Advent of Code 2025 starts tomorrow. 🥳🎄
This year, I’m going to use Python 1 on SuSE Linux 6.4, writing the code on my trusty old Pentium 133 with its 64 MB of RAM. No idea if that old version of Python will be fast enough for later puzzles. We’ll see.
@bender@twtxt.net Hmm, something’s weird with that post:

😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see problems with that, yes. Case in point:
this is apparently a famous lake in Hanoi city in Vietnam. Don’t know what it’s called though.
We have arrived at our first hotel. but check-in isn’t till 2PM 🤣 We arrived at 12:45PM 😆
One of the advantages of being vegetarian. you get served your in-flight meal first. before everyone else 🤣
Seems i can’t add you to the bridge hmmm
Oh my god! 🤣 It works! 🥳 My first Twt into the Fediverse (stil some improvements to be made of course), but still 😳 Wow! 🤩
Sometimes, (just sometimes) my ability to pattern match and remember how to play perfect games of chess is awesome 😎
I was having a stroll and heard this weird crackling noise. Took me a moment to realize that it’s coming from the tree above me. I looked up and didn’t see anything at first, because of the bad light. And then I saw it: About 10 parrots (alexandrine parakeets or rose-ringed parakeets) were sitting up there, heaving a feast. 😅

Anyone on my pod (twtxt.net) finding the new Filter(s) useful at all? 🤔
Tired to re-enable the Ege route to git.mills.io today (after finishing work) and this is what I found 🤯 Tehse asshole/cunts are still at it !!! 🤬 – So let’s instead see if this works:
$ host git.mills.io 1.1.1.1
Using domain server:
Name: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53
Aliases:
git.mills.io is an alias for fuckoff.mills.io.
fuckoff.mills.io has address 127.0.0.1
PS: Would anyone be interested if I started a massive global class action suit against companies that do this kind of abusive web crawling behavior, violate/disregards robots.txt and whatever else standards that are set in stone by the W3C? 🤔
Oh fuck me! I had basically turned off the route to git.mills.io last night and went ot bed at ~2AM after unsuccessfully trying to control the attacks (bad bots) that were behaving like a DDoS attack. Tried to re-enable the route this monring and *BOOM, they’re back! As-if they never stopped?! what da actual fuq?!
Anyone have any clever ideas of what I can do here to allows normal users, like you nice folk and block ths obnoxious traffic?!
Fark me again with the bots. This time DDoS-style crawling from hundreds of IPs and dozens of ASN(s) wtf?!
I’ve had to disale the Ingress to my Git instance for the time being,
i need to sleep and I can’t fight this :/
Great things happening over at the Xhitter.
the new logo is cute
Endlich habe ich das letzte der zehn deutschen “Stahlratte” Bücher von Harry Harrison. Jetzt muss ich es nur noch lesen. Zur Sicherheit die ganze Reihe noch einmal! 🤓

ok so i have found a genuine twt hash collision. what do i do.
internally, bbycll relies on a post lookup table with post hashes as keys, this is really fast but i knew i’d inevitably run into this issue (just not so soon) so now i have to either:
1) pick the newer post over the other
2) break from specification and not lowercase hashes
3) secretly associate canonical urls or additional entropy with post hashes in the backend without a sizeable performance impact somehow
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no, as mentioned this “diagonal arrow” eye shape, is usually used for a smug expression. The optional white part, is in this case, where the dogs sclera would be visible, while they have their eyes, like this.
Here is a comparison between a real dog, making the face it is based on, and the exaggerated drawn version.
Drawn based on a quick doodle, the canine returns victorious, from the battle of Hot Topic bargain bin, as smug as can be.
Whoever will be the first to inform him, the spikes aren’t real gold and it’s most likely not even leather, meaning it’s not what he’s really been searching the universe for, better prepare themselves, to be jumped on, bitten and shredded by claws.
we are now parsing and recursively fetching remote feeds somewhat successfully, gotta work on the media proxy and markdown way more, so so many fucky edgecases….my friend’s feed with like four posts parsed correctly so i tried this account’s feed and well now im not going to bed on time
search page, bookmarks page, improved thread view (that i will probably improve further), as well as a logo and a whole ui redesign. it is truly all coming together…were i to mark any items off the roadmap :p
and when suzuki airi world domination comes, you can consider yourselves ready because i showed you this video ;)
replies and following implemented! next step is further parsing of post contents, rendering threads, and then maybe i can finally start adding remote feeds…! though i kinda wanna redo the whole ui ^^’
Joining the Clippy profile picture club, now that I finally finished my custom one.
After around 3 years, I managed to make my “smallest recognizable canine”, even smaller. So here’s the all new, smallest recognizable canine 2.0:
