S4:E01 - 2025 Advent of Code Follow-Up - The Stray Pointers Podcast

Hatte endlich mal ein bisschen Zeit und Kopf frei für #AoC2025
Die Hälfte ist geschafft, jetzt bloß nicht zu schnell weitermachen, einige freie Tage liegen noch vor mir

#AdventOfCode

For those who don't know me/this kind of stream, I am a fully blind (no sight, no monitor) streamer/hacker/gamer digging into the accessibility of all these topics, trying to highlight where improvements are needed, as well as show off how people can break barriers and step over thresholds while those improvements are (not) happening.

I have been diligently at work working on the #adventOfCyber 2025 content again this year, checking the various tasks for #accessibility hurdles and, where possible, providing ways to dodge/hack around them. This wasn't always possible, but at least more possible than the last two years.
Today at 3 PM EST we'll blitz through the last 6 days on stream, showing that while #accessibility issues are rampant, a #screenReader user can absolutely complete the majority of these and might even learn a thing or two in the process!
See you in 6 hours over at https://twitch.tv/ic_null and/or https://youtube.com/@viewpointUnseen #aoc2025 #tryHackMe #thm #selfPromo #stream #tech #blindness

Fully blind person hacking, coding and tinkering while using a screen reader. THM, HTB, accessibility, all the things.

I finished the 2025 Advent of Code in the afternoon of December 13.

This last puzzle was a "troll puzzle", designed to look difficult, whereas it was very easy.

I spent a few hours looking for an algorithm for solving the general case, then I saw that trivial tests were enough to get the correct answer.

and day 12, done.

Which means: 524* total, done for the yeah before Christmas (that was touch and go for a minute there), wooo!

With a little bit of delay because of vacation, but here we go! #adventofcode #aoc2025

I just completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode #aoc2025 https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/3

Stacks are the way!

Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025

I loved this years difficulty in #aoc2025 and that it lasted only 12 days. It needed just the right amount if time investment to stay fun. My only regret is spending hours writing a brute force solution for day 12.
