@hex47+:50days: day 43!!!!!!!
today was mostly a gamedev day! locked in super hard on carden, finished, and sent it to my gift recipient :) will look into polishing it up for a more public release in 2026! also going to do some planning for fireside before I go to bed. here's a page of my #C0A2XF1T4DD| - yes, this was the actual number.

• work on @jollyrogerbay finally! made some really cool features like automatic datetimes and s/abc/def to replace
• pretty much it@hex47+:50days: day 42!!!!!!!!
carden is shaping up! drew some very nice corn sprites and worked a ton on the farm infra - now you can plant corn with a nice function! going to lock in and finish this tomorrow :salute:
@jollyroger1827+[41/50] today (or rather yesterday ig) i did:
• work on my college apps, figuring out my core values on the way
• cuddle huddle (iykyk)
• finally wrote poc to get all public channel message events instead of only channels the bot is in :yay: of course adding user message subscriptions would do that
@hex47+:50days: day 41!!!!!!!!!
did some more marketing for the #C09SWT5DCGY| meta-challenge (oh god I have to start planning out the video now :fear:) and got a lot done for carden! made some tweaks to card infra (switched from dicts to classes for storing card data), drew a much better farm sprite, and made cards actually do stuff! really all that's left is content and polish (famous last words) so I should be able to finish before christmas :ahhhhhh:@jollyroger1827+[40/50] today (or rather yesterday) i did:
• got a bighaj!! :yayayayayay::blahaj-spining:
• worked on #C0A0M8NL876|, specifically a way to edit them with slack canvases & lists (credits to @Dodge1 for coming up with the great idea!)
@hex47+:50days: day 40!!!!!!!!!!
went shopping, ate hot pot (😋), launched a challenge for this channel (check today's update!!!), and worked on carden! completely rewrote the card infra but it should work much, much better now. also made the cards look a little nicer! let's hope i can finish in time :pf:
@jollyroger1827+[39/50] today (or rather yesterday) i did:
• campfire org check in call 1! was quite helpful indeed
• wrote a helper script for common app that checks your recommendation statuses for you (github here)
@tacy0day 38 of 50 days to 2026!
Today I made a cdn on cf workers because the hetzner cdn I normally use was being too slow for the images on my blog. This new one keeps traffic stats as well so that will be quite interesting to watch as time goes on.

@hex47+:50days: day 38
did less today,,, started to set up my bullet journal, watched the grinch w/ family, and started prepping for s2 of a little minecraft smp that I run!
@tacy0day 37 of 50 days to 2026!!!
I am happy to finally launch Indiko! Indiko is a indieauth / oauth 2.0 compatible auth server that allows users to sign in to any indieauth project with their domain as well as any custom clients that I define. Through custom clients I can also create custom roles and assign them to users with invite links which allows me to do some pretty awesome stuff on my homelab!
I also had a fellow student from cedarville come and break my battleship server by stack searching and reading the memory. They wrote an awesome writeup at dunkirk.sh/h/MCTNVG (the link uses hop which is secured by indiko btw) and we had a hilarious conversation about it. Sadly I have now patched that threat vector by segmenting into separate processes which can't read each other's memory. Doing this made it really easy to also let users play agains the bots so now I have a play page! Try it out at battleship.dunkirk.sh :)

@jollyroger1827+[36/50] today (technically yesterday ig??) i did:
• kinda burnt out so didn't work on school stuff
• did #C0A277A4FP0| day idek
• fixed some bugs in my projects
@hex47+:50days: day 36/50!!
14 days left... wow. was a teensy bit more productive today, created a #C09EZSEMB16| proj for my #C09RKNVS5SB| idea, and started on dragging around cards!! also noted down some implementation details so that this should go a bit smoother than the last time i tried to make a card-based game :pf:
@tacy0day 36 of 50 days to 2026!
Today I ended up doing a ton of work on my auth project. I have it almost ready to ship but I need to finish up the last few features and deploy it first. 🤞I can ship it tomorrow.
I made a little snowflake website for #C0A277A4FP0| with flask which was a fun distraction. Super simple but it was fun to build and I tried deploying to railway for the first time! That deploy experience is sliiiiiiick. They have made it so easy to get your first project deployed and with a url its incredible. I'm so very tempted to make an OSS railway as my next project. We shall see.
@tacy0day 34 of 50 days to 2026!
Today was rather uneventful. I made some finishing touches on my auth project and also make a little snowflake api for haxmas. Nest is being insanely slow so that was fun to wrestle with.
I learned about the O'Sassy license which I love the concept of. Basically just MIT but with a restriction on hosting Sass versions of it. osaasy.dev
@jollyroger1827+[35/50] today i did:
• worked a bit on the rules section of the school network hackathon in jan
• did a tiny bit of work for college apps
@hex47+:50days: day 34 + 35!
not much,,, still burnt out,,,
34: worked on #C05B6DBN802|, ran a lockin call, more ideation for #C09RKNVS5SB| and some other projects
35: sent today's #C05B6DBN802|, packed a secret santa gift, did hw, tried to hack a vibe coded website (all the admin validation is client side i think :skull_cry:)
here's goosepheus
@mathias7+:50days: Day 35/50
I added a bunch of tags to scrappy-doo but I forget to push so I lost everything :noo: so I had to redo everything again :sad-pf: (feel free to give suggestions)
I looked at coolify cuz i think i'll host it on my server because systemd and bare docker is kinda pain
No midnight reviews :hdheavysob:
@jollyroger1827+[34/50] today (or rather yesterday) i did:
• not much
• reinstalled macos on my macbook to clear up clutter
• that's kinda it
@tacy0day 34 of 50 days to 2026!
I had so much happening today. I ended up having meetings from 4 till 10 which was fun. I attended an AMA with Quinn Slack which was insanely cool and I also did quite a few OYAC meetings and got to meet the other leaders from across the country and hear about some of the frontline advocacy work which was amazing and really encouraging.
Independently I also worked on an interesting little project showcased below which I will be sharing more about soon as well as some more mc hacking with one of my friends. Oh and I also made a keychain in onshape for haxmas. Hopefully I can ship my semi secret project tomorrow and make a nice showcase video :)
@mathias7+:50days: Day 34/50
Did some changes on my midnight project to get approved
I had to make a goofy video showing how bubulb works :skull_skeleton:
Got my first post on #C09VC37P2NA| from someone others than me (it's the midnight reviewer but a user is a user)
And I updated my goal list
Tomorrow we'll do some Python in math class :yay:
@tacy0day 33 of 50 days to 2026!
I made a pcb tree today! I was finally able to design some nice silkscreen art as well on my remarkable which was a ton of fun! Gotta love crunch projects like this lol. Start to finish it was probably 2 hours most of that being having to redo the entire layout because I sized it wrong (it was the size of 2 postage stamps lol).
@mathias7+:50days: Day 33/50
Did the remaining hours for midnight and reached 50h :yay:
I hope my projects are going to get reviewed fast enough so I can take my tickets soon
I gave up on keyshield as I quickly saw it won't made it for 7 hours
@jollyroger1827+[33/50] today i did:
• worked more on @Winterflows-U0A025PMWCX but not a lot (like 2 hours), adding the rename & change description & pfp function!
• spent wayyyyyyy too much time on slack :pf:
@jollyroger1827+[32/50] forgot to post yesterday so here it is:
• made #C0A3S04NBDF| where all of you should join and spam :3
• submitted 2 projects for :midnight-crow:, including the above and a website i made for a school hackathon
• slept somewhat early? idk lol
@mathias7+:50days: Day 32/50
I have automated the 50 days post on starblog to update the progress bar based on days until 2026. After that I submitted it to midnight
I continued to work on my archiving tool and will make it public soon (i think)
I started to make keyshield because when I shared a message from david-leeker to #C06089401GT| it exploded my monthly limits for apiflash :hdheavysob:. Keyshield is a reverse proxy between an API (i.e. apiflash) and your frontend (i.e. Slack) for hiding your API keys and add a caching layer (because apiflash store the apikey in the url parameters :skull_skeleton: )
I think I'll spend the 7 hours left for Midnight on this
@tacy0day 32 of 50 days to 2026!
I did crazy little today lol. I had work in the morning so that took up a bunch of time and then had the celtic ball which was insanely fun! I ran into a friend from the gen cyber camp at cedarville over the summer as well which was amazing!!!
I quickly speedran this little react clicker for #C0A277A4FP0| because I want the orpheus plushy so very badly lol. I did it in quite literally 6 minutes :heavysob:
@mathias7+:50days: Day 31/50
Finally finished AoC 2025. It was really fun. I've made a post on Reddit about it because I'd like to optimize my solutions. I'm placed 8th on the hc leaderboard (ordered by stars)
I'm also continuing on my goarchiver because I'd like to finish it for midnight and also because thevalleyofcode has been updated
@tacy0day 31 of 50 days to 2026!
I'm shipping hop today! It is a short links provider so I can make fancy redirects to websites! Beyond that I also got to sleep in and proposed a event for hackclub! I also got to play valorant with one of my friends for an hour and that was awesome.

@hex47+:50days: day 31!
got to unbeatable episode 3! it is definitely :absolute-cinema: so far. also got back to work on README - here's some of the stuff I've written for Part I - Hacker Culture
@jollyroger1827+[31/50] today (or rather yesterday) i did:
• worked a bit on @Winterflows-U0A025PMWCX which might become official!
• became a midnight reviewer! :ultrafastparrot:
@mathias7+:50days: Day 30/50
Today's AoC was easy and it's cool because yesterday was pure hell, part 2 was just part 1 with extra steps
I started working on midnight and publish "old" project (projects starting after midnight start dw), I submitted my ondrive-proxy and i'll submit @Scrappy-Doo & starblog (i won't publish it to #C09JQE8P8EA|) once I finished them
I think I'll spend the 12 other days of december trying to optimize my aoc's solutions cuz some are really bad
@hex47+:50days: day 30!!!
went to my little brother's winter concert, then got home and played unbeatable plus studied. also made this super scrappy sticky note wall with my 50 days goals!
@jollyroger1827+[30/50] today (or rather yesterday) i did:
• typed a whole choral music piece into musescore in 50 minutes, including lyrics & accidentals!
• continued working on my jltg companion website
• bought :unbeatable: ! but my whisky's malfunctioning so i can't play :hs: gonna install with steamcmd
@mathias7+:50days: Day 29/50
I'm so proud of my AoC solution omagad, i learned about z3 for solving theorem and it run in ~1.7s (for both parts :yayayayayay:) but it's worst with pypy :3cnukebutreal: It gave me the 3rd place on #C01GF9987SL| leaderboards (based on stars cuz I'm on Europe/Paris so I have 10+ hours on everything :sad-pf: )
I need to finish my website for #C09JQE8P8EA| (starblog) :noo: and I need to write a blogpost about 50days on it. I have 3 days left :((
I did a whole excel spreadsheets just for a math test so I'm sure i'll get all the points
@hex47+:50days: day 29!
went on a ski trip (well, technically a snowboard trip but that sounds weird so i'll just call it a ski trip where i snowboarded) to my local hill! schedule was school, then straight to the hill, then ride till 8pm, so I didn't really have any time to code today :(
please enjoy another random image from my camera roll
@tacy0day 29 of 50 days to 2026!
Today was a fairly quiet day. I took my C++ midterm and had a good chat with one of my friends on the impact of ai in our society (which also helped solidify some parts of my speech!) and then fixed a few small shell things and made 2 days ago's aoc vis!
I also had an interesting idea for a passkey style badge that could be used at a hackathon. I still would like to find some cheap 1 cm by 3.5 cm e-paper displays as I think that would be the perfect badge size but I haven't seen any and especially not any with a smd driver chip.
@jollyroger1827+[29/50] today (or rather yesterday) i did:
• start a new project, a jet lag: the game hide and seek companion web app! super simple for now and also my first time trying :svelte:!
• watched like 3 hours of jltg :pf:
@mathias7+:50days: Day 28/50
Today's AoC may be the slowest I've ever done... with part 1 only takes 8ms takes up to 20s :skulk: (depending on if I use pypy or python)
I installed pypy on my laptop but it's kinda weird cuz sometimes it's faster (part 1) sometimes it's not (part 2) probably because i'm using a library for polygons of part 2 and not on part 1 :shrug3d:
I've also started to read an scientific article
@hex47+:50days: day 28!!!
UBEATABLE RELEASED TODAY!!! FINISHED EPISODE ONE AND IT IS SO PEAK JFJFJDJSKFKDNCJR
also did hw + some more planning on the secret project. since scrapbook needs an image here's a random meme from my camera roll@tacy0day 28 of 50 days to 2026!!!
I got to do a long study sesh with a few friends focusing on Calc and C++ which was fun. One of my friends ended up writing out a hilarious short story prompt for a program that we wrote to test all of our concepts.
I also released bore today with a youtube video for it! It is a super fancy reverse proxy tunnel manager like ngrok but running entirely on my own infra! It is based around the open source frp software which is great on its own but a bit annoying to use in the oneshot command type way I was used to with ngrok. I wrapped the client cli in a nice gum interface and used nix to package it with a super fancy man page and shell completions!
Bore also has a really cool dashboard at bore.dunkirk.sh which shows active tunnels and how much data has been transferred along them as well as a few other stats. It also has a really fancy 404 page which I'm quite proud of.
Also working on my shell config I setup zmx which is a light weight tmux alternative that just keeps persistant sessions. It works quite well for my needs and I also set up ssh pooling so connections are next to instant now!
I also did a bit of work on crush adding support for refreshing api keys whenever encountering 401 errors. I also whipped up a quick nix flake for it as well and got that working!

@jollyroger1827+[28/50] today (or rather yesterday) i did:
• work on @Winterflows-U0A025PMWCX a very tiny bit and :siege: is now done!! :ultrafastparrot:
• helped at my school's primary school drama show, turns out they don't need my help at all :(
@tacy0days 26 and 27 of 50 days to 2026
Yesterday was a long day of work so I was sadly not able to get much done beyond AoC but I did get a nice visualization done for day 6 as well as a visualization contributed by one of my friends jasper which looks amazing!
Over the last couple of days I've been refining a script to take incoming college emails which are mostly spam and filter out just the important ones. So far its working fairly well and I'm happy with how reliable its been. If you want to run your own then the code is over at tangled.org/dunkirk.sh/filter-college-spam
@mart0*day 27 already!*
forgor posting again for a while, did AoC but it turned out to be very hard :pf:
thus I started on something new and fun: my personal website! as of today I have a PoC with the homepage, finally after having the wish of building one for atleast half a year now!
@mathias7+:50days: Day 27/50
I fixed david-leeker cuz it wasn't saving it to a db so I was receiving messages every hours about new sites :hdheavysob:
AoC 2025/08 was pure hell, i spent like 1/2 hours just on the first part (spoiler-warning) I ended up using a disjoint-set-union and it was kinda overkilled but atleast I learned something and claimed those 2 stars
