@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 :)

@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.

@tacy0yikes I've gotten behind on these updates; here goes...
Day 23 of 50 days to 2026 accompanied by the beleaguered days 21 and 22.
The last few days have been busy but fun! I wrote and completed a battleship testing program (battleship.dunkirk.sh) for my uni's C++ end of term assignment. I implemented a geicko-2 rating system that ranks submissions over a period of round-robin style matches against the other submissions running 1000 matches for each pair. In early testing it works pretty well! I would love to test it at a large scale with the whole class but we shall see if thats possible. The submission workflow is also all over ssh with the awesome wish library from charmbracelet.
I've been consistently working on AoC and made a little website 2025.aoc.dunkirk.sh with visualizations from days I find cool! It currently just has today's day 4 problem since it presented so well graphically. I also have a really pretty cli interface for running my solutions over at the tangled repo tangled.org/@dunkirk.sh/aoc-2025.
I've also had to start the hard process of finalizing where I'm going to college next semester and all the fun headaches that come with that. Oh and last but not least I updated my dot files shell scripts to use gum and they look so pretty now!!!!
@hex42:50days: day 18!
did some coding-infra work today! installed the lazyvim config for neovim and set up some plugins - it's really awesome :D things like flash.nvim and telescope will make my work so much faster :yay: here's me doing rustlings with the config
@jollyroger1827+[18/50] today (rather yesterday) i did:
• continue working on :siege:! @Winterflows is in a pretty usable state rn (apart from the fact that it only has 2 steps), check it out!
• watched a movie w/ my gf (feel free to guess), it was awesome :D
• slept a bit earlier (3:30 > 1:30), might continue doing that
@Anicetus0day 8/50
• cleaned up the anicept cel printhead a little bit to make the parts easier to print
• started renovating the X axis - I think I'm making pretty awesome progress!!!
• crashed out at school :loll:
• fooled around with friends
@zrl0Day 5 and Day 6 (Saturday and Sunday):
Parthenon! It was amazing.
I had so much fun working with all the Hack Clubbers there. It was very inspiring
The projects were awesome
@Azzy-U08PLHD4L2J050 days challenge ❄️ Daily update #3 | Streak: 3 days :P
Productive stuff I did for my goals
• Well... my calc test grades came back and uh. Not great so I guess that doesn't really fulfill anything... I'm kinda bummed because I did 200+ practice problems, corrected my previous quiz, and made super detailed review guides for this one... but I documented my mistakes and also did today's problem set before class so I had some time to chill and process everything. I really want to make a comeback on the next test about integrals
• Made a realistic plan to self-study AP stats that I might actually be able to follow :3 (screenshot is my current progress in Khan Academy)
• I worked on the abstract for my small research project based on feedback from my project manager!
• Ran a nice debate practice today and got to know my teammates some more
• Finished my AP Bio homework before AP Bio class ended
Nice stuff
• I tried the green tea cake I mentioned in an earlier update! It's AWESOME
• My friend 3D printed a box that can turn into a triangle and gave it to me which is super cool!
The day is not over yet so I'm planning on grinding a lot for debate by working on my cases and prep! I will update here when I'm done either later tonight or tomorrow
@Azzy-U08PLHD4L2J050 days challenge ❄️ Daily update #2 | Streak: 2 days :3
Stuff I did for my goals
• I solved 50+ integrals today and I'm finally getting it a little bit now (my last bit of work is attached where I absolutely lost my mind and doodled something random). In the mix: Riemann sums, trapezoid rules, definite integrals, limit definitions, using geometry to get the integrals, piecewise integrals, additive integral properties, and transformations...
• I went to my university for an AIChE (american institute of chemical engineers) meetup and got a sticker + 2 free slices of pizza
• Got 3,555 steps today cus it was very busy with my 5 credit hour chem class at uni
Productive stuff in general (kind of fulfills goal #1 to work on what "serves me")
• I took my AP Bio and Spanish tests today
• I edited a video of my school's Diwali celebration which had hundreds of students involved during lunch! I'm an executive board member for the organizing club and it was really cool to see everything come together
• I revised an abstract for a small research project I'm working on and coordinated with my team members on what to do next. It's about nanoparticles!
• I wrapped up the student representative application I mentioned yesterday with 2 more big essays and revising the previous ones!
Nice stuff
• I am seriously behind on the apps that my friends are installing these days because I used to have an iPhone 6s and it wouldn't lemme download any apps because they upgraded iOS and I have full storage... but I got a refurb iPhone 14 because my previous phone crashed and wouldn't get any messages and its AWESOME
• I downloaded Spotify today and man it is way more convenient than what I used to do by making playlists on YouTube on my computer...
I have a debate tournament on Saturday so I have to lock in and work on a lot of prep tomorrow, wish me luck!
@tacy0:snowman-running: Day 2 of 50 days till 2026!
I got a decent amount done today! I worked on my transcription app thistle a fair bit working on locking down security around logins and sessions. I also got paragraph chunking working fairly reliably with kimi k2 which was awesome!
Related to thistle I also made a homebrew tap repo and added murmur (custom streaming whisper server I made) so I don't have to rebuild the swift project every time I want to test thistle. It ended up being a bit of a hassle to get homebrew to build the bottles so people don't have to build the project locally but I got it working in the end!
JLC responded back today and explained that my keyboard was counted as two parts since the traces don't connect over the two parts which is fair. I updated the panelization on those to have more easily removable mouse bites which should be much less annoying to remove.
On the subject of internships I had some fascinating conversations today with a few people so I might have some stuff moving there.
Also did a bit of work rewriting my resume which is fun. Its quite a bit of trying to get everything concise enough to fit on one page :)
@zrl0Day 2 update:
Sadly I'm still sick and I didn't get as much as I wanted done.
Did a small amount of prep for Parthenon this weekend. So excited! My sister baked cookies in my house for every attendee, so it smelled like cookies all day.
Had a meeting with a partner to talk about some 2025 plans. I'm trying to get all the orgs that care about coding to align on helping people make actually real projects - and Hack Club can help with that.
Did some thinking on dashboarding. We really need a good way to understand how all the current fall 2025 programs are tracking. We had that for summer and don't have that now.
Reviewed our 990 before filing it and gave the last round of edits before it's submitted.
Did a little bit of thinking on how to better surface and communicate awesome projects by Hack Clubbers. When you make an awesome project - whether you're a beginner or really advanced - you should feel super celebrated by the community. It's also important that projects are curated in some way for the community - or else it can feel like everything is slop. When the truth is if 20% of projects are not super high quality (everyone starts somewhere) but there are just a lot of projects overall, those 20% feel like 100% of the projects.
I'm almost wondering if something like Hacker News but for Hack Clubber projects could be cool. Or some other way to explore really cool things. Here's one really cool project by a Hack Clubber for Summer of Making I saw for the first time today: github.com/SamoZ256/hydra
And that's kind of all for today. Leaving at 6:30 AM tomorrow to drive to NYC for Parthenon. So excited!
@louisa0didnt code much today lol but i was teaching @Meghana web-dev w/ astro + tailwind on a 2.5 hr long huddle :) this (image attached) is the figma so far + we did some coding (mostly trying to figure out why stuff wasn't working :heavysob: but it was awesome!) tmrw i'm fr gonna work on cursedOS and im gonna try and convince myself to #C0M8PUPU6| my website revamp !!
@TC1000OK so like I took a bit of a break from scrapbook...
The reason is a bit long so I won't go over it but the main thing is that we're still going strong with the astrophysics stuff 💪
BUT TODAY I want to talk about...
✨ Daydream ✨
It's been a long two months
A lot of work
A lot of pain
A lot of spending tons of time on tons of stuff and then nothing coming out of it
A lot of annoyance and mistakes and stuff
But most of all, A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!!!
My daydream's on Sunday, so I still have a bit of time to sort things out: and I am super super super excited.
It's been a long road. Organising isn't easy. But it's also awesome :))
I'm so ready
@virtualfuzz0So, finished learning about onshape, and finally started doing the cad for squeak!
here is apreview of it, its gonna be awesome cuz i'll ahve both a hackclub provided keyboard (hackpad) and a hackclub provided mouse (squeak if i get approved)
@Meghana0Super awesome@zakkbob0Bought a yubikey because where else am I supposed to put my awesome new gpg key? Idk if this is cheating for scrapbook, so I guess I also started learning how blockchain works.
@OliverForm0Making good progress! I've loved this project so far, really found it awesome.
@hex42I've added theming to Modulo! If you recall at the very start, I made an update about figuring out how to change the Tailwind theme on-the-fly. This is why! I used a color picker library called svelte-awesome-color-picker, and hooked its onInput event to a function that updates the theme's CSS variable.
:comit:git.new/modulo-682a6c7
@nullptr0today with VERT, i've implemented converting from .cur, .ico, .dng, .ani and .heic to any other format, all of which were requested by the community fairly heavily. the .ani handling required a custom file parser, which is pretty awesome !
@laith0Finally got my soldering stuff so i took out the prototype of my project, rewired it and schtuff. Awesome sauce!!
@laith0playing with kotlin some more!! jetpack compose is so awesome, feels a lot smoother than whatever the freak java swing is and the default theme looks pretty kewl. Think I might switch to kotlin for cross-platform development 🐢
@laith0Made a basic timer w jetpack compose/kotlin, testing it out to try making cross platform apps 😋
Ive always hated kotlin but icl kotlin multiplatform is pretty awesome
@laith02nd scrapbook post :3 updated a schematic for one of my old projects. Pretty awesome sauce.
@Olive0Day 10 of #C045S4393CY| - Final day! After taking a bit of a break, I came back to having a bunch of assets ready to be implemented, so I did just that, building a whole new level that looks awesome as well as redoing how the player movement works to make it feel even more floaty and ethereal.@Lukas-U08AT086H8E0:10daysinpublic: Day 12 of #C045S4393CY|
today i started design a split more ergonomic keyboard while live streaming in #C07F3EA2L8G|
i design the case with ryanis.cool/cosmos its a awesome tool to design keyboard cases
@Lukas-U08AT086H8E0:10daysinpublic: Day 3/15 of #C045S4393CY|!
this was supposed to be yesterday but scrappy was offline :heavysob:
Just another boring day on working on my Hackboard case! + Rerouted some parts on my PCB
• Put my Pico in a better position but it was a pain in the ass because the new KiCAD updated is so buggy at least for me like it keeps freezing and crashing. And because the project was made in a older version things where not really compatible but i got it done with no DRC errors!
• I made adjustments to the top acrylic part because in the old version the USB-C would not fit.
• Added screw holes to the case.
• Rendered some really awesome pics of my keyboard.
@manitej0day 2 of #C045S4393CY| - launched cafe 2.0!!! really awesome to get things up and running again! also still some bugs to work out :pf:
@mart0Day Seven of coding a Cute Pomodoro Timer -- Coding time: 30 mins YET (but ain't done for today, just wanted to share a COOOL progress update)
Yeah. I actually lost my sanity. I thought brb, I'm gonna take off for a few days. But we're SO BACK and made awesome progress today. Turned out I was doing everything fucking dumb. ALMOST everything has been reimplemented except for some neat little stuff.

@louisa0i have returned! i’ve had a little bit of a rough past couple of days but im locked back in now i promise. today i:
1. started working on a website my mum needs done by Thursday
2. enjoyed some very last minute cake (we ordered it yesterday evening so it wasnt fancy or anything, vegan cake is awesome tho)
3. did some overdue work
4. tried to catch up with some non-school things i missed out on
@BarnabásBalogh0I created Tank Fight, a multiplayer tank battle game written entirely in Python. This project combines my passion for coding and game development, offering a fun and interactive experience for players.
In the game, two players control tanks on a shared battlefield, aiming to destroy each other using strategy and precision. I designed the gameplay mechanics to include features like shooting projectiles, avoiding obstacles, and navigating the terrain. The game loop handles collision detection, movement, and scoring in real-time, ensuring smooth gameplay. I'm still in early stages but it will be awesome!
@phthallo0this is literally insane to me but in the span of one week i:
• :rocket_animated: flew to los angeles for ascend and actually made a (semi functional) hackathon project
• 🎓 graduated high school ?!??!? what
• :python: presented a project of mine (the very first project i scrapbooked) at pycon australia's student showcase, over in melbourne (the student showcase might be an australian-only thing :fucking_sobbing:)
along the way, i hung out with some great friends, spoke to a lot of awesome new people, got some nice swag, spent a lot of time travelling in planes and through different cities. seriously, if you'd told thirteen year old me that i'd be doing all this i absolutely would not have believed you at all
tl;dr the real projects were the friends we made along the way or something like that
@louisa0added music (why is radiohead there? awesome question. idrk either, ill add more focus music soon lol), added a todo list, decided the session stats might go into settings or something and projects will be a selectable feature or something :p@mihir0ship time 🗣️
For times when they need blood urgently, they have one person painstakingly go through the sheet, filter out donors who haven’t donated in over three months, check if they meet certain other criteria, find out their distance from the center by putting in their address on google maps or something and individually call them on the phone and ask if they can donate. idk about you but no one deserves to go through that 💀
I asked the manager of the blood bank if I could maybe build something to help solve this as a summer project, and he, being the awesome person he is, agreed and even offered to take me around the blood bank!
Here's an outline of the app and how it works. i've also posted a huge writeup + pictures from the tour of the blood bank in #C07JBQW5W3X|! (shameless plug 😋)
@magicfrog0i finally finished it! :ultrafastparrot:
i made a book from scratch containing all the amazing tales from #C06RQ9TTEG3|!
introducing ✨tales from the trail ✨, a hand-made book that i binded with leather and some old-looking paper. i wrote about the AWESOME experiences that we had out there in the woods and all the amazing cool friends i made! btw tail is by far the best group! and the best part i think was the fun little 3d paper gadget things (tent that you can open and there are two sleeping bags inside), tiny lake dioramas (blue hot glue basically), pop-ups (a very wonky looking bear and FIRE!!) and other trinket stuff (like a magnifying glass to inspect people's faces if thats something you like to do)!
hope you enjoy! :)
fun fact: the book spine has pink himalayan salt hot-glued on for some reason
the entire book: docs.google.com/document/d/16lMUuA6GF8RqRvB3axDwEq4kIcqhxX17YrtS4XYHUTI/edit?usp=sharing
repo (including video): github.com/themagicfrog/talesfromthetrail
btw... another google-doc style recount about EVERYTHING that happened (that i know of) on #C06RQ9TTEG3| is coming soon:eyes_shaking:. it's very extensive, and SEVENTY pages :heavysob: long . i just gotta organize it and shorten it...
@Nibbles0I have finished my Love2D rhythm game after almost 45 hours of work. In this milestone, I added 3 more official levels with original music and more awesome geese, added a pause screen, added custom level support, and massively improved the editor, with many QoL features and shortcuts. github.com/Nibbl-z/goose-rhythmnibbl-z.itch.io/goose-rhythm@JubilantMarmot0II made an awesome PCB, this is my first time. It is a business card that runs a small linux computer. based off of ARMv7 allwinner f1c200s:
