One of the best reads I've come across in ages: @kentonvarda.com's deep dive on singletons is a must-read! 👏

Needed a thing, so I built a thing: catfish 🥸—a tiny Rust CLI that compares two folders by hashing all files. Perfect if you’re not sure you’ve got everything before deleting a folder. Check it out: github.com/samvdst/catfish

This week has been incredibly hectic. All I want to do is relax and work on AOC puzzles. I might need to take some time off soon. 🥹

An excellent primer on LDAP! Clear, concise, and super informative: github.com/inejge/ldap3...

Now with the correct link 😅

Pro tip: Don’t sysprep a Windows image with a network bridge and the unattend passes DoNotCleanUpNonPresentDevices=false & PersistAllDeviceInstalls=false—then deploy it on the same hardware model again. Or do, and share the chaos. 😅

Day 4: Ceres Search #AdventOfCode. This one made my brain hurt, but I got there in the end! Pretty sure there are smarter solutions out there—let me know if you have one!

(P.S. This is *not* my first attempt. Iterations were harmed in the making of this solution. 😅)

My solution for #AdventOfCode Day 3: Mull It Over. No regex, but I couldn’t manage it with just iterators. Learned a lot about `Peekable` though! Curious to hear any optimization tips.

Gotta learn Dutch myself, unfortunately🥹 Funny language, tho!

My code for "Red-Nosed Reports" day 2 of #AdventOfCode. Trying to focus on Rust iterators😀 Let me know what I can improve.

Finished Day 1 of #AdventOfCode. Here's the solution I came up with—show me yours!

Can't wait for Advent of Code. What language are you going to use? #AdventOfCode
