The thing under my bed right as I'm trying to go to sleep.

A sad story about User Agent strings.

Just had a fantastic virtual #LANParty with some high school buddies. #JustinCON 2022 baby, one for the books.

@ceoln @obi lol, bookwyrm. I'm on an Android phone right now, but following that method above, then clicking the finished date brought up a date picker, the date picker had a "clear" option, that worked for me.

Maybe it's a browser difference, it maybe you're getting to a similar but different dialog. I like bookwyrm quite a bit, but there are a few different ways to accomplish the same thing sometimes, and they don't all feel the same unfortunately.

@ceoln @obi if I navigate to a book page, then click the drop down for lists to add it to (default says "want to read"), then select "read" to mark to as already read, there is a started and finished reading date field with finished defaulting to today. But you can delete that and still click post/submit.

@lazzarello that's a pain. Probably email from GCP instances has a hard time getting through spam filters anyway... Can you forward email to a service like AWS's SES?

All done.

I'm not sure why a container-based build isn't the default recommendation on the dd-wrt or OpenWrt forums. But here's mine:

https://github.com/kc0bfv/DDWRTLinksysE1200BuildEnviron

It's my first container-based build environ. I'm not sure what other folks do, but I'm mounting the source dir in the container (with -v), changing to that dir (with -w), and running the compiler. When that's all automatic via make, it's seamless and easy. So I think I like it.

Cross-compile build environs usually screw up my normal host environ more than I like, and compete with each other, so I'm putting it in a container.

I have a Linksys E1200 I got for real cheap a few years back and am going to make a hackme project from it. First step - get a build environment working.

Never heard of anybody using that before. Fortunately, the algorithm for generating balanced ternary basically worked.

Nice ending to #AdventOfCode - I'd seen balanced ternary before, but never had to figure out an algorithm to generate it. Then the complexity got bumped just a little for #BalancedQuinary.

Brisket is on the smoker!

@Lownewulf @PHolder Agreed. Also, Topaz does this most years - there'll be a strong theme... A couple years ago almost every-other-challenge after day 9 had us improve upon this programming language interpreter/microprocessor simulator thing.

This has been the year of "search" for me, or even breadth-first search mostly.

@3j0hn This is great - it really makes it feel cold and forbidding. I wouldn't want to be in that little red dot.
