It is that time of year again. Time for a december adventure! I have coded far less this year, so I hope I'll be more motivated to do it during my downtime.

The gist is simple: Spend every day from now to the 28th doing at least a little bit of coding.

Last year i've only managed to do 15 or so days before giving up, and I partly feel like I just sorta gave myself too little wiggle room in terms of what I would be doing. Like, I would dig my heels in with a single task that simply was too much, lose motivation and give up on it entirely.

I'm going to try to remedy this by giving myself more ideas and not constraining myself as much

With that, what do I code? Well, I have a few ideas:

Update this website to support auto-generated RSS feeds
Fully automate website updates with an actual cronjob.
Make a recipe webring
Install OpenBSD or plan9 on my x240.
Come up with a service site to offer 3D printing services

Update the uxn-nix flake to latest builds, maybe package some uxn roms as well, though I am growing less and less keen on making contributions to the nix ecosystem
- I could also package some ROMs, mostly critical stuff like drifblim

If nothing else, ironically, I could just do AoC, hah
I'm part of a project where we are re-indexing the lithuanian public project database to look for corruption, there's an issue list, patches needed to their frontend and backend
I could also look into what I had in mind to do last year
Since last year I did actually setup a matrix homeserver, But I couldn't get the bridges setup properly. I could try setting up a messenger or an instagram bridge... as much as I would hate to do so.
I definitely want to write more uxn, I just.. don't know what specifically. I need a light and easy project to get myself comfortable with the language.
Ooh! A wayland-native implementation of uxn would be awesome! Just like.. uxn11 but made to work with wayland instead
My system font needs fixing and/or changing. Most visible on chromium apps.
If I really feel like writing CSS for 5 hours, I can redo my discord theme for the 195th time.
I also had an idea for an utility program for my job. Some of the blueprints that come in are in imperial. I want a thing that would autoconvert it all to metric (google this first though)
Ah, another good one: contribute to niri, the VM im runnin right now. It's written in rust, and that's what im trying to get better at
