I hope they're making a Switch remake for Oracle of Seasons/Ages like they did for Link's Awakening. I would buy that in a heartbeat!


I really enjoyed AoC's puzzle for day 16 this year. Doing a bunch of pattern matching in Elixir to decode binary data is fun, really happy with the solution I ended up with.


The dog is sleeping on my lap, so I'm pinned to the couch. There are worse ways to be.


Once again, I got a new PB for Lost Judgment in today's stream: 2:55:27, under 3 hours for the first time!

Work today is pushing the limits of my understanding of IP networking. Shit is not working and I have no idea why.


It's just a coincidence that Notion is down two days after I moved Relay.swift's docs off of them, right?


My WebAuthn Vault plugin is working! Registering both TouchID and my YubiKey works, and I can use them to get a Vault token. This is so rad.


Uh oh, looks like I might have tricked myself into writing a WebAuthn auth plugin for Vault.
