I'll catch-up one day maybe, today is not that day though 🥴
I just completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/3
I know, I know I'm really behind now. I'm playing catch-up today. So far the theme of this year is "I should have done part 1 the same way I did part 2" 😅

I'm finding that taking multiple days to write blog posts and doing a few simultaneously really helps me actually not only write them, but I feel like make them better.
If they are actually better is another question, hopefully get the git setup one published tomorrow.

if European investors weren't so afraid of risk there could actually be a real privacy focused open source competitor to Apple / Microsoft / Google for personal computing.
sadly, having been through it before myself, the risk appetite doesn't exist hence why most eu tech companies move to the US

There is something so satisfying about just making things that you know people will enjoy. No matter how little it is.
I know every one of these little ornaments is going to make my friends smile a little bit when they see them and that's a huge win.
