Maybe someone knows a good pastebin that I can use instead of github gists? I kind of wish that codeberg had something there, but it's just nice to have a place to post random code snippets and then be able to link to the highlighted version.

I would also like to be able to edit them, and have an account so that I would be able to see a list of my snippets as well.

@sotolf Honest question: Why do you use gists rather than a regular repo?

@sunarch I feel like much of the small experiments don't really need a whole repo, some are just a small bit of code that I think may come in handy in the future, some times it's part of a advent of code or something like that, I will kind of gather up some pieces of code that I find myself using again and again and gather them together in a utilities thing later maybe, and then it might be something that is worth putting in a repository, most of this is things that I find neat, and think may come in handy, but I'm not quite sure yet.

@sotolf That makes sense, I guess I just defaulted for one repo for AoC stuff, as bound by topic and not functionality.

@sunarch so, no division by year or anything? also are you keeping the input files out of the repo? or do you give them a special ending and gitignore them? since they are copyrighted, and you're not allowed to share them, and they probably don't match the licence of the rest of your repo either, it's just annoying to deal with :p

@sotolf Division by year and day, of course, since it's at least two files for each. The inputs are simple txt files, gitignored, yes.

@sotolf Previously I had my solutions checked via tests in the code, but I moved those out into a private little lookup tool.

@sunarch ah okay, I'm just too lazy then :p
