@kiwu@twtxt.net evening!!!

morning!!

@prologic@twtxt.net How on earth did you do that so quickly, especially day 10? People were struggling with this a lot. 🤯

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Jesus, that was quick. 😅

I cleaned up all my of AoC (Advent of Code) 2025 solutions, refactored many of the utilities I had to write as reusable libraries, re-tested Day 1 (but nothing else). here it is if you’re curious! This is written in mu, my own language I built as a self-hosted minimal compiler/vm with very few types and builtins.

https://git.mills.io/prologic/aoc2025

I finished all 12 days of Advent of Code 2025! #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com — did it in my own language, mu (Go/Python-ish, dynamic, int/bool/string, no floats/bitwise). Found a VM bug, fixed it, and the self-hosted mu compiler/VM (written in mu, host in Go) carried me through. 🥳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I shrank Day 9 Part 2 from “cover the whole map” to “only track the interesting lines.” By compressing coordinates to just the unique x/y breakpoints, the grid got tiny. I still flood-fill and do the corner-pair checks, but now on that compact grid with weighted prefix sums for instant rectangle checks. Result: far less RAM, way less CPU, same correct answer.

@prologic@twtxt.net How did you optimize that? 🤔

Day 9 also required some optimizations, if you aren’t careful, you end up with really inefficient algorithms with time/memory complexity beyond what a typical machine has 🤣

what would be funny is @prologic@twtxt.net writing things with his namesake (Prolog)

H… Ho… How have I not heard about vim-tagbar before? 😳

https://github.com/preservim/tagbar

Bought more cheap slot plates (with bad reviews and people complaining about the pin order, because I could’nt find a product without such reviews), but those are simply correct now and just work. 🤪

(Well, one part late in the calendar might need floats, depending on how you solve it …)

@prologic@twtxt.net You won’t need floats, but 64 bit integers are mandatory. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Whoop, whoop! Nice! And welcome back. 😅

I’m seeing crashes in the 3D subsystem. (Gallium? Glamor? Whatever other Mesa thing they have? No idea.) In the logs I find this:

malloc(): unaligned tcache chunk detected

And that’s why I still care about Rust and want to learn more about it, even though it’s giving me so much headache and I’ve given up so many times. Because Rust currently seems to be the only popular systems programming language that tries to eliminate these error classes.

And of course “the Rust experiment” in the Linux kernel has recently been concluded as “successful”, so that alone is reason enough for me:

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe is that https://github.com/owncloud/ocis (Go based, instead of PHP 🤮)?

Awk to take lines from Plan 9’s /lib/unicode and prepend the actual glyph and a tab: awk ‘{cmd=sprintf(“unicode %s”, $1); cmd | getline c; printf(“%s %s\n”, c, $0)}’

Once a bookworm, always a bookworm.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I swear, Her vlog is all I needed to cleanse my soul! Full of pure human interactions (whenever there is any), No BS No pretending and No Nonsense. Again, Thank you!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It was too late when I read the “Addictive” warning… 😆 Thanks for sharing this!

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe it was a mess, we are better without it. Until a new mobile client comes (not holding my breath), Yarn is very usable on the mobile, just using the browser.

Man, I have no idea where the last build of the Yarn android client went to (even though it wasn’t all that good when I first used it, but it was relatively useful otherwise)

i’ve learned a lot of lessons from writing my notes app, gonna apply this to bbycll and refactor the code to make it way more legible cause my custom templating system is only kind of a giant mess

yarn stop logging me out challenge (impossible)

it is really annoying and degrading to find that you need to upgrade to payed subscription to enable 2fa on your account, cmon ppl those are basic things…

Yo @prologic@twtxt.net, apparently even ‘git clone’ is getting blocked by your Gitea or something (I’m using authentication, naturally)

Day 6 of AoC, and I’m all caught up. 12 puzzles down, 12 more to go!

くそっ、「会話」、このアプリは一体何なんだ？

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe yeah, that’s the only reason why I use sub-domains when trying anything federated (I believe Matrix has the same problem), in case things didn’t go as planned I can just migrate and take it down.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com not to mention you wouldn’t be able to, anyway (if you’re going to use the same domain between backends)

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve been reading through the documentation last night and it felt overwhelming for a minute… +1 point goes to GTS’s docs. but hey, I’ll be taking the easy route: podman-compose up -d they provide both a container image and an example compose file in a separate git repo but I’m wondering why that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs, (unless it is and I haven’t seen it yet)

I’m contemplating the idea of switching my activity pub instance from Gootosocial to a Pleroma one. While GTS is kinda cute (lightweight and easy to manage) of a software, the inability to fetch/scroll through people’s past toots when visiting a profile or having access to a federated timeline and a proper search functionality …etc felt like handicap for the past N months.

@prologic@twtxt.net
Interesting experiment for salty-chat, use the MQTT protocol instead of HTTP, in theory it shouldn’t make a difference, at least

I’m gonna ask here again because I’m really frustrated and literally no one else is responding anywhere can u guys please help me find a good video camera the biggest think I want is long battery life but I also want it to be cheap like under $200, if you yourself don’t know please ask a friend because I am not a tech nerd and looking for stuff like this is very hard for me

The YAML forbidden knowledge of yarnd

Posting in anachronistic order, hah!

Got back into drawing! :)
I also made a couple (digital) collages today. Huge achievements

@bender@twtxt.net a mobile phone camera doesn’t cut it because it cant take long videos. I would say like the cheapest possible tbh! it doesn’t have to be an amazing grade a camera, just something that will record in decent quality for long periods of time! I mostly want it to make vlogs :p

save 100% today when you don’t buy anything

@prologic@twtxt.net do I just have to actually post the token into the twtxt timeline for the bridge?

(as in, for registration)

Hey @prologic@twtxt.net 👋

@c350a5e5fb9d9457@bridge.twtxt.net Does this mean we’res starting to work, this whole Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge thingy? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Your gitea thinks the LICENSE file in the yarn repository is SSPL-1.0 instead of GNU AGPL 3.0,
and I can’t help but giggle at that
