Day 43 (or 22)
• Dual booted Fedora Linux!
◦ Install was a pain, because i made the partition wrong three times, and then discovered the glitch where the post install setup wizard freezes if you click the wrong thing while having an nvidia card
◦ Super cool
◦ Running KDE Plasma as well, literally has all the features i wanted from windows, without the ones i didnt
◦ The moment i switched back to windows for 5 seconds, the sound output glitched and is now only playing through my monitor speakers
• Waited on modrinth again, they have now been telling us to wait for almost a week, and their estimate was at most four days
Didn't do much else because I went to my brother's soccer game (he did really well)
have another photo of modrinth being slow, and a photo of my new fedora
Day 42, the answer to everything (or day 21 for me)
• Waited on modrinth again, still nothing
• Got a bunch of things set up for #C0AD3QV5C5D
◦ Set up map, at the same domain as the server (thanks nginx)
◦ Set up a status page, still need to merge to main dns
• Did a tiny bit of work on my ft game, made a jank new conveyor belt
◦ Still just a turn conveyor, but now works better
once again getting more unproductive lol, idk what i did all day
have a photo of the jank conveyor
Day 41 (or 20)
• Fought more with the bot for #C0AD3QV5C5D
◦ just a bunch of admin side improvements
◦ this really doesn't sound like a lot of work but apparently it was
• Did some homework (science)
• nothing else somehow lol
oh god i feel very unproductive, really gotta lock in for ft tomorrow (unless modrinth finally approves our modpack, in which case i will be launching the server tomorrow maybe)
todays image is of the improved suggestions system, don't mind the mod name, id just finished dinner, and was on my fiftieth attempt at parsing slacks basically undocumented data from buttons (body['message']['blocks'][0]['text']['text'] was the answer i was looking for, but of course nobody bothered to write how these things are formatted)
Day 40 (or 19)
boo school (actually my first two classes this semester are pretty good, english and science)
• Still waiting on modrinth approval for the modpack for #C0AD3QV5C5D
◦ got an automod respond after three days :heavysob:
◦ mightve been unrelated, but idk, still annoying
• Fixed the bot i broke for #C0AD3QV5C5D
◦ Added string sanitization so people don't just start running commands on the mysql db
• Did an hour of english homework
• How am i getting less productive each day lol, i was doing so much when i started this and its only been 19 days for me
alright thursday ill lock in on ft projects, not tmr because i have a science assignment i gotta finish
here have another photo of modrinth not approving us
Day 39 (or 18)
why does the weekend have to end
• Made a bot for the #C0AD3QV5C5D server
◦ Allows you to register your mc account to your slack account, and allowlists you. Also logs you and your mc username into a db, so that you can't register multiple
◦ Added a command to send mod suggestions to the admins (me and a few others, user group coming soon)
◦ Atp, the only thing stopping us from launching is modrinth approval :why:
• Went on a hike
◦ Was my first time snowshoeing, was something
◦ tbh I don't really get the point of snow shoes? Like they made it easier on some terrain, but on most they made it more tiring, and time consuming
I gotta lock in on my ft projects. Ive basically been stalling for a week on doing work. also gotta get going on #C09SJC1NWQG
Day 38 (or 17)
weekend is so nice
• Fought with minecraft modpacks, because apparently some mods like to screw with things they shouldnt touch
• Tried to make a slack bot to auth people into the server for #C0AD3QV5C5D, and it went okay?
◦ I gave up on http mode, and am going to try and use socketed mode
◦ Logic is sound, still haven't tested it yet tho lol
• Can modrinth approve our modpack yet? (im pretty sure they dont work weekends, but I can dream)
• Started doing some research and planning for #C09SJC1NWQG
wow i did less today than yesterday. sometimes i forget how hard mc server setup is
Day 37 (or 16)
yay its friday im done school!
• Did a bunch of work on the Create Mod server for hc im working on #C0AD3QV5C5D
◦ Got the modpack submitted to Modrinth to review
◦ Got the Pterodactyl dashboard completely set up
◦ Got scanned by a server scanner already, will probably have to do something about that
• Did a good bit of school
◦ Science we're starting chem next week, lowk hyped, chem is the best unit
• Went to my weekly DND session
and that was it lol
Day 35 (or 14)
• I did a bunch of school again :(
• I did a small amount of work on my factory game
◦ Made a basic plan for the flow of incoming items
◦ Started on another machine
◦ Made conveyor belts have an off mode
◦ Also at some point in the past, I fixed the semi-broken pickup mechanics
• I started another project about puzzles in non-euclidean space
◦ The idea with having two games at once is that if I want to stall on one, I can work on the other
◦ Also because godot limitations, I can't make real non-euclidean space, just the illusion of it
• I didn't mention it yesterday, but I almost bricked my oracle vps, because I didnt have a port 22 exception for ssh in ufw lol
Overall, probably like a 6.5/10 dayDay 34 (or 13)
I did a bunch of school because new semester
I also finally got pterodactyl set up on my oracle cloud vps.
Did a small amount of work on my game, adding data fields to the packages, and making the first machine edit them
Im considering trying to make a non-euclidean game soon (or at least the illusion of one)Apparently it got mad that I had a link to the technology connections video on solar, so heres day 32
Day 32 (or 11)
Lowk an unproductive day. I watched a good bit of youtube , and tv. Spent a bunch of time fighting with various server things. Namely I fought trying to get a wireguard link between my home network and my oracle vps. I also did a bunch of work on a project for hc that I dont know if im allowed to talk about.
Wireguard was working, and then it stopped working. I have no idea why, but it stopped.
Day 31(or 10)
Id never forget to do it at night, and have to do it in the morning. Never.
I didn't get a ton done today because I was at a Vex Robotics Comp! We didn't do well, but it was pretty fun.
Did a small amount of work on Flavortown Port, and thats about it. I started on a machine for the game.
Day 30 (or 9)
• Did some work on my game, but not enough lol, got side tracked
◦ Made the ability to pick up objects
◦ Made different directions of conveyors
◦ Made a basic escape menu
◦ All of this is stalling on making bigger features
▪︎ Player placing mechanics of conveyors and mroe
▪︎ Machines and more (includes planning actual game loop:cryin:)
• Watched too much TV again
• Went to session zero of a DnD game
Got a vrc tournament tomorrow, have to get up at 4:30AM :heaviestersob:
Day 29 (or 8)
• No school because exams are over, but I still went in to do some work on the robot
• Robot is finished
◦ Well, we didn't write auton because everyone (all two of us) were tired of doing robotics on a day we werent supposed to be there
◦ Packed
◦ Did however setup lemlib, even though it wont be very accurate because all we have is an IMU, no encoders
• ACTUALLY GOT THE CONVEYORS IN MY GAME TO WORK!
◦ apparently, when working with vectors and transforms, THE ORDER THAT YOU MULTIPLY THINGS MATTERS
• Watched more Andor, can confirm, still a peak show
Tomorrow is lock in time for my game
Day 28 (or 7, hey thats me)
• Did an exam and presentation today.
◦ History exam was way easier than I expected, and also my history teacher is insane, the answers were like all Bs and Cs, and I wasnt the only one who got that
• Took the robot home to do work on it here because we are running out of time
◦ Our last day to work is tomorrow, and we have to pack for comp on saturday.
◦ No auton yet, gotta do tomorrow
• Rewatched like half of Andor because I was lowkey kinda sick
thats about it, not nearly productive enough, I watched way too much TV
Day 27(or 6)
• Fought with oracle again and got it to work, only to realize that I need to either relocate my entire frontend for my game servers, or expose port 80 on my home net :why:
• More (but not enough) work on my factory game. I thought I was done with conveyors, but no, im not. They still dont properly handle being rotated :cryin: I already spent 5 hours trying to make damn conveyors, I dont want to spend more.
• Started rewatching Andor (great show, go watch it lol)
• Played a few games, but not much because I spent like 4 hours watching Andor
• SNOW DAY AGAIN
◦ I feel very conflicted because on one hand, yes snow days are awesome, but on another, we now have two exams on the same day (supposed to be separate days) and I have way less time to finish our robot before the competiton on saturday.
ALSO GODOT 4.6 IS AMAZING (don't think I mentioned it yesterday)
Pretty good day, I'll attach a video of the current state of my conveyors (if anyone has advice, it would be greatly appreciated):Day 26 (or 5)
Fought with Oracle Cloud for port access stuff.
Did a bunch of work on my factory game.
That took most of my day lol. Also did some studying for my history exam!
Snow day was nice.
Vid is broken conveyors from my game lolDay 25(or 4) im not late lol:
Reprogrammed the vex robot
Got an Oracle Flex VM.
Started more projects lol.
Not much else, unfortunately.

Did a bunch of work on the installer for my CVE-Slack bot. Shipped the project. It also got approved and into voting in like 3 minutes lol, not sure how that happened.
Downloaded a potentially malicious exe.
Played a bunch of games.
Thats about it for today. Wasn't productive enough. Turns out installers for programs are hard.
Day 23 (or 2)
Finished the remote nodes for my cross device resource monitor
Almost finished the vex robot, all we have left to do it autonomous and a few small things. Got like a week, so it should be good. Might have to reprogram the robot over the weekend though. Played a bunch of games again lol, gotta do more programming.

Started on making a cross device monitor.
Did a bunch of work on our robot for Vex.
Got the data gathering portion of the resource monitor done (thanks psutil)
