day 9 of 50 days to 2026! I got polar.sh completely working!!! I have a super cool checkout page and subscriptions all sync nicely :) I got a bunch of friends to also test the functionality of the site and got a few papercuts cleaned up! Also did a ton of work on the Murmur service and made that more reliable. More work to come on that front. Also had a fun time solving an LLM jailbreaking puzzle, saihaj sent me (thank you!), and worked on a battleship algorithm until my eyes felt like falling out. Turns out implementing a battleship program to play for you is way harder than I thought it would be. Definitely didn't forget what the docs said the output of move results was, and spent 3 hours tracing the code by hand, all to find out it was a bitwise operation that was needed to extract the actual result. Who me???

Day 9/50 Today wasn't very productive, But I've read a lot of docs about gowarc cuz I tried to make my scraper in Golang but it wasn't working on windows (cuz it was using /etc/resolv.conf), so instead of using my laptop (raaahhh debian 13 on top) I tried to fix the library and adding Windows support (which was unsuccessful) So today I've only added a config file to it, and refactored the depth system cuz it was weird and vibe-coded. I think the next step is to add threading to it so it would be even faster. I've also had to buy Andromaque for school today so I had to walk across Brest, uhhhh... Related to books I've continued to read Animal Farm, I'm pretty sure i'll finish it before the end of the year

Day 10/50 What I did today: • I've discovered and played a bit of MHRD, it's fun but hard cuz i'm kinda

• For school, i made a "pcb" (it's just a 3d printed board with holes in it) and I'll glue & solder buttons on it next week ig • My onedrive-proxy finally got setup at files.mathiasd.fr Overall I wasn't very productive but tomorrow is weekend so i'll work more

day 8 of 50 days till 2026! I finally got some work done today and also got some clarity on why I've been coughing so badly! Turns out I most likely have whooping cough but they can't actually check because they caught it too late. I started work on making thistle ready for its first alpha test with implementing classes and a waitlist for new classes. I also started looking into polar.sh so I can get subscriptions working and its rather confusing. Theoretically its easier than stripe but I need to figure out exactly what I'm trying to do first lol

*day 9/50* spent a bit writing a story for school, then wrote a bunch for README! I made an <Emoji> component to easily use Slack emojis in the writing, and did some of the "an attempt at an introduction" section.

bot @Manislack ! @manifolders watch out

(sneak peak below!) • filled out some college application forms (again... the same info...) • that's kinda it

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/d053ee83-08fd-458f-a6ac-c729e235c119-image.png

day seven! this day was actually wild: • coded for 2.7 Hackatime hrs on the game (it might not seem like much, but considering I had training and school from 8:15AM to 3:45PM that's pretty crazy) • pretty cool training, getting ready for a race this saturday got a lot of progress on my game (which I'm doing together with @KittyCat -- she's doing the art and maybe some coding as well)

DAY 8/

: • Chilled out and hanged out with friends most day part :DD • Played noita + some funny jack in a box game :DD • Started learning about CTF ◦ Today bit of steganography • As well coded on godot for bit ;)) ◦ added some scene lights ◦ added ability to uneqiup And in general had fun

*day 8/50* more work on README! spent a while scrolling through old event photos and scrubbing through Hack Club videos to make this little Polaroid collage thingy for README's homepage. also made some CSS fixes and wrote some more content. I think tomorrow I'll add table of contents stuff and some style settings, then deploy so others can start writing

day 7/50 again I didn't do much today beyond dragging myself to school and taking a calculus test. I think I did pretty well? I completely blanked on one of the differentiation problems at the end but everything else made sense. I did a bit of investigating for a C++ assignment that is coming up where we have to make an algorithm to execute the most optimal battleship moves and sink the opponents ships before their algorithm sinks ours. I have some interesting ideas on how to execute this (one being training a small ml model which would be hilariously overkill for this). We don't get the source code of the library that actually runs the battleship logic though so I did a bit of digging through ghidra to see if I can find anything useful. Didn't find much but it was fun to play with for sure.

Day 8/50 Continuing my scraping adventure! I've setup a SOCKS5 proxy on my shitty server at home so I can scrap thevalleyofcode on Nest (my server has like 3gb left and 15gb total so yeah) Aside, I'm really excited to create a blog/real website so I can make a blog post about #C09SWT5DCGY| and a big recap of what I did

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ced4e814-bea2-4a2d-8c88-fdb4781a2a4e-buffbird.png

Day 6/50 Today wasn't very productive, I've scraped and archived a bunch of stuff like thevalleyofcode because it's so cool I don't think he'll keep it free For this I used python, regex and ai.hacklub.com (for converting html to md) I'll try to make a website tomorrow so I can read them

https://scrapbook-into-the-redwoods.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/0769983d-4d09-48a2-a9f4-a9eb623ae657-image.png

Day 7/50 I've discovered the .warc file format and I'm now using it to archive thevalleyofcode (see day 6). I've made a small python script to archive a whole website with a whitelist so I don't escape to google.com and scrap the internet

I've also read a small paper on FastWARC (python library for archiving) but I won't count it for my 50 days goals as it's only one page

day six already! time flies when you're having fun ig today: • more progress towards working game, specifically I got the asteroids bouncing now and actually getting removed when they collide • new project 👀 hackclub.slack.com/archives/C08KQ9DUJUX/p1763410857979709 go check it out @ #C09T243J8F9|! • wanted to code more, then realized i got training tomorrow and first race of the season saturday so decided to sleep @ 10:20PM (still late

)

DAY 7/

: • Hard reseted and reinstalled everything on my pc and HOLY SHIT 150GUGS OF SPACE, feels great after living w 10-3gigs for past 1 year

• Played dbd • Installed tailscale on rpi4 and got it to host static website across internet

• Debugged backing up clean windows copy for 3hrs, it always ends at 97.. im telling you this is rigged and at the end decided to end it and not to backup

day 7/50 • finished anicept cel printhead!!!!!!!!!!! really happy with how it looks. Wire routing I think is pretty decent, but may need work depending on how flexible the hotend wires are • did research for it, and started making a nice clean BOM • moved a random component for no reason • school + piano

day 7 of 50 days till 2026 I finished my c++ assignment for the week and made a battleship game! I had been procrastinating on this for a bit because the object file we are required to use as an api is built exclusively for x86_64 and we have no access to compiling it ourselves so I couldn't work on it on my mac. I realized I could just clone my repo to my server and do the assignment over ssh and ended up doing that today.

Day 5/

(Yesterday) • Sunday full day of studies • No coding these days as exams • No Github activity today • Did Physics,Maths,Biology and Geography • Did khan academy stuff.

days 5/6 of 50 days till 2026! didn't get to making an update yesterday as I had to finish up some schoolwork and then immediately crashed and fell asleep. I did get 100 on my deeply procrastinated essay though! I did a bit of work on improving test coverage of the code and got tests implemented for all of the api routes! I also discovered I have $250 worth of claude code web credits that expire on the 18th so I decided to see how much I could get done through there. The web ui turned out to actually work fairly well but I definitely wish I had those credits as api credits instead. I'm still trying to figure out a good model for how to organize transcripts but I did the preliminary work on organizing them into classes and having waitlists for classes to open up.

day 4 of 50 days till 2026 well today was fun

I had a trip to the ER because I kept coughing to the point of dry vomiting and being unable to breath. I got to try some really not nasty at all medicine that should hopefully calm my throat down and we shall see if that works. I don't have a super good visual for this one but I added a copy code button to thistle and did a bunch of work on getting the cleanup to work well on long token heavy transcripts. I also updated murmur so it bases the estimated progress on how long the input audio file is which should improve that quite a bit. I also had a fun time with calc (not sarcastic it was actually fun) this morning in a review session before our exam next tuesday. I relearned how to do limits at infinity which I wasn't feel super confident on and now am feeling pretty good about the exam!
