#til that the PNG file format is actually pronounced as "ping", according to the official spec I actually haven't heard anypony pronounce it that way ​:rarithink:​

Yawn! redraw #mylittlepony #rainbowdash

Almost freaked out when I saw this, thought it could be a new VSCode feature. Turns out, it's a special ligature feature of the Maple Mono font https://font.subf.dev/

Been troubleshooting the weirdest connectivity issue at home. My current setup is a GPON router provided by my ISP with PPPoE Passthrough enabled. Then I have a Mikrotik router plugged into that which connects to PPPoE and receives an IPv6 prefix to spread via SLAAC. It all works perfectly […]

Soooo... As people may know, I'm the lead developer of the Octavia project. The flagship visualizer, Octavia Cambiare, currently lack background art (~~but I have no money, jobless by being rejected by all companies I sent a CV to after all~~). Is there anyone willing to draw background artworks […]

had to delete a folder named "$(pwd)" today. very... very..... carefully.

Has anyone realized that you could post your videos to your Peertube and have YouTube pull them in via the Podcast RSS Feed? Or am I the only one that didn't realize this? Which means you don't have to upload to YouTube AND Peertube. You can upload to Peertube and YouTube will grab it for you […]

conversation I had today: - is it a nonprofit? - …not on purpose, no

Wanted to update two files in a GitHub repo but didn't feel like cloning the whole thing for it, so I guess I should try GitHub Codespaces. Codespaces: "Your codespace's name is `legendary-meme`..."

RUST REFLECTION MVP HAS LANDED https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146923 THIS IS NOT A DRILL

New video! I wanna yap about convention badges, lanyards, and things attached to them. https://youtu.be/HYauYDgq-_c

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are: 1. Getting up in the morning 2. Going to bed at a reasonable time

I have started a new #wplace project and as a treat me and a few of my friends decided to add some monitoring plus some fancy grafs which we now have on a public grafana page thanks to @[email protected] @interru and especially @[email protected] for helping with this project

[advent of code (still)] Back on my #adventofcode in weird-ass languages bullshit. Here's day 3 in #typst: ``` #{ let process(line, digits) = { // convert all jolt labels to int let joltages = line.at(0).clusters().map(int) // loop to build up final number let place = digits - 1 let jolts = 0 […]

Happy Hearth's Warming, friends ^^

Finished Rhythm Doctor now that it's out properly, and... wow what an amazing game! Never expected to want to avoid spoiling a *rhythm game* for others, but here we are. Play it. #rhythmdoctor

New ponies at dawn album incoming already!? Fusion teaser sounds promissing

Me and @fauli1221 have been trying to reverse engineer the malware they mentioned in https://hooves.social/notes/ag8eryfjvbfd0887 and we have made some progress, but the payload seems to be obfuscated using js-confuser 2.0. Does anyone here have experience reversing that type of obfuscation? […]

My gift to the rustdoc team: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/my-gift-to-the-rust-docs-team Merry syntaxmas, everyone!

I just completed all 12 days of Advent of Code 2025! #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/ And all I have to say is: well played, @ericwastl, you got me xD Thank you for another year of fun challenges c:

I just completed "Reactor" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/11 There's still an idea I'm missing to further reduce runtime (~40s), but I got a solution without assistance again woooo!

I just completed "Factory" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/10 Part 1 was pretty simple, but part 2... Let's just say that I learned to trust floating point numbers even less.

#adventofcode day 10 part 2 got me proper stumped. Can't figure out how to turn it into anything other than a massive breadth-first search, and none of my shortcuts are triggering. Guess it's time to learn from others c:

"The end of the kernel Rust experiment" is a hell of a way to announce Linux in the Kernel is here to stay, jesus https://lwn.net/Articles/1049831/

Recently we completed a security audit of Thunderbird Send, our upcoming end-to-end encrypted large file sharing service, with the help of the @ostifofficial and 7ASecurity. Read our summary of the report's findings, and learn how we've acted on these recommendations to be more secure and worthy […]

I just completed "Movie Theater" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/9 Part 2 needed a little thinking, but I'm pretty happy with the end result. Though there is probably a way to pre-filter the rectangle candidates without needing to iterate over each […]

Update time! https://pt.thishorsie.rocks will be going down in about 20 minutes for maintenance to switch over to PeerTube v8. Afterwards I'll also update https://code.thishorsie.rocks. Will reply here with progress.

anyone wanna draw me a bird of prey? it's for a cool project

Who needs async when you can just

I just completed "Playground" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/8 Needed a little time to figure out what to precompute and how to store it, but managed to keep the runtime of my solver monolith almost instant ^^

When you start typing your password and realize you're fucking it up but don't know where so you delete it all and start over five times

I just completed "Laboratories" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/7 I have a feeling that the question for part 1 was designed explicitly to guide people to the fast solution for part 2. Very elegant puzzle!

[Framework Computer, DHH, politics] *sigh* https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2459 I guess this seals the deal. They have no idea what the problem is and don't care. Zero acknowledgement of the points raised outside of "why you so mean to eachother" […]

I just completed "Trash Compactor" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/6 The crime against iterators this solution has become xP Though I always enjoy a parsing challenge, and this was a pretty funky one.

Mastodon v4.5 letsgo

I just completed "Cafeteria" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/5 RangeInclusive my beloved

I just completed "Printing Department" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/4 Today on Advent of Code: Property damage! You know, as a treat c:

they made the shelter small so it would fit in the shop display but actually they made it perfect pet pony size! isnt it cute?!

I just completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/3 Much, much happier about today's solution.

I would not have guessed this was possible! Vladan Majerech has found a one-dimensional spaceship in the Game of Life: a pattern just one cell high and 3,707,300,605 cells wide that, after 133,076,755,768 generations (during which it is not confined to the one-dimensional line, of course) […]

heartbroken to report that I may have reinvented nix

this fall I worked with the core Git folks on writing an official data model for Git and it just got merged! I learned a few new things from writing it. https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/gitdatamodel.adoc

Bro needs a couple of dollars to help cover monthly costs. Might be forced to sell their computer for a measily 150 bucks otherwise. I think that would be a disastrous outcome, so if you have the money to spare, just a few bucks can really help. https://buymeacoffee.com/miitsuofficial […]

I just completed "Gift Shop" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/2 There is no chance that my solution is anywhere near optimal, but it still ran pretty much instantly so I'm happy ^^

I just completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #adventofcode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 *clickclickclickclickclick*
