I just completed “Secret Entrance” - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 — However I did it in my own toy programming language called mu, which I had to build first 🤣

(#ruoopea) > That’s the right answer! You are one gold star closer to decorating the North Pole. [Continue to Part Two]

Whoo! Making progress! With AoC 2025 solutions implemented in my own toy language 🤣

(#ruoopea) Ahh that’s because I forgot to call main() at the end of the source file. mu is a bit of a dynamic programming language, mix of Go(ish) and Python(ish).

$ ./bin/mu examples/aoc2025/day1.mu 
Execution failed: undefined variable readline

Come back from my trip, run my AoC 2025 Day 1 solution in my own language (mu) and find it didn’t run correctly 🤣 Ooops!

$ ./bin/mu examples/aoc2025/day1.mu

And I’m back from my holidays! 🥳 Back to work boo 😒

(#ftqfrta) Alright, Advent of Code is over:

https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-12-12/0/POSTING-en.html

It’s been quite the time sink, especially with the DOS games on top, but it was fun. 🥳

In case you’re wondering: All puzzles (except for part 2 of day 10) were doable in Python 1 on SuSE Linux 6.4 and ran in a finite time on the Pentium 133. Puzzle 10/2 might have been doable as well if I had better education. 🤣

Right at sunset we went for a quick stroll into the woods. Cannot complain about the colors in the sky: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-12-12/

(#6p6xg7a) @shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Time to become a trixie or forky!

(#r5kb2kq) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes, exactly. It also blows my mind that with sooo much less budget and equipment, her videos are way superior to productions of big TV stations.

(#hqmp4yq) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Anytime! Glad you like it, too. :-)

(#gwia6va) @bender@twtxt.net agreed

(#lquocva) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com probably a bug on my end with the bridge. I’ll figure it out with your help when I get home from my holidays.

(#jwv5raq) @bender@twtxt.net that’s kind of what I was getting it initially yeah

(#c742mra) @movq@www.uninformativ.de this is brilliant!

(#jwv5raq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de @zvava@twtxt.net I think people get sick of everything changing all the time and so don’t bother adopting things to change when things are already good enough 🤷

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

(#j7zm5xa) @kaa@bridge.twtxt.net Cool, thanks for the support! I’ll try to add something so that a year later it can ask if you want to renew. I just didn’t want to make gift subscriptions auto-recurring.

(#azdzbva) @joshspector@bridge.twtxt.net Cool!

(#e2rrvga) @kaa@bridge.twtxt.net We have a way to invite someone to Micro.one and pay for the first year. Maybe that would work to start? There’s a link @3932@bridge.twtxt.net. Otherwise email help and we can figure something out. Thanks!

(#tvulx5a) @numericcitizen@bridge.twtxt.net No worries, this is all going mostly according to plan. 🙂 Using more bandwidth was unavoidable.

(#mdvry7a) @cote@bridge.twtxt.net Sounds right. 🙂

(#4dh6hwq) @fichteldom@bridge.twtxt.net Sorry, I looked at the wrong account even though you told me which one! Should be fixed now.

(#yz5ys2q) @fichteldom@bridge.twtxt.net Are you still seeing the error? I just checked and it looks like it was updated. Let us know if anything looks wrong.

The classified information in the future classified information the surface so classified information is classified information and I wasn’t hurt

In fact, look at how soft this ball is

Say what, npf(7) is throwing up and won’t block anything, yare yare :facepalm:

(#d2pj7pq) @prologic@twtxt.net the only one other that exists is htwtxt which may as well be Yarn’s ancestor

(#xyy4hrq) that is to say, chaotic.ninja still exists (although I don’t directly control it anymore as of last year), the rest is classified information ;P

Do not expect me to not hit other people’s nerves. You have been warned.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have returned

Great things happening over at the Xhitter.

Hey @prologic@bridge.twtxt.net

@teleclimber@bridge.twtxt.net Definitely jealous that your model means you can “just add ARM” in a monthly update!

Hmmm does this show up in Twtxt? 🤔

Hello World! Testing 1 2 3

@meidastouch I think it’s pretty funny he keeps having to explain his own jokes.

@danie10@bridge.twtxt.net Fuel efficiency was the reason I had picked the economy instead of the “whatever you have” option in the first place. Although in fairness, I’d have to get a pretty big car to rent a car less efficient than my personal beast which is at the shop.

@jalefkowit@bridge.twtxt.net IMHO they should keep working on it.

@kentonvarda.com That is a fair point. It is also not very cohesive in a “I don’t know what you want, but I’m required to say something” way. It managed to cover your grammar, the source of food insecurity, telling you “just eat something” (which is how I respond to family members who say they’re hungry), and tops it off with a funny video.

@kentonvarda.com I really hate to defend an AI model, or Google, but you did not give it much to go on here. I would’ve assumed you were telling the machine you were hungry and wanted it to suggest food near you.

Rental car company absolutely tried scamming me. Obviously they didn’t have the car I reserved, so they wanted to upcharge me like 40% for a nicer car they had… I was able to edit the reservation online while standing there to “whatever you have” for the same cost as my original reservation.
I walked out with the same car they wanted more money for at the same price I had booked for.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/115531491817897878The latest engineering (and whole team) update is here 👀

@heidilifeldman@bridge.twtxt.net Guess it’s not unclaimed anymore. 🤔

(#wmnfghq) @bender@twtxt.net i am split between registrars .. isnic is only managed by the country registrar. the others i have at regular reseller

I am not dead. promise.

@RichardBrockie@bridge.twtxt.net They break your device, and they give you the privilege of buying another one from them.

@Viss@bridge.twtxt.net There’s no way someone didn’t notice this when putting it up.

@StillIRise1963@bridge.twtxt.net When it happens, the world’s problems won’t go away, but it will look a little brighter.

is there an etiquette to twtxt’ing? am i flooding?
