Our second attempt at adding the stuff people did directly in the discord, so hopefully Adam is able to correctly write it down this time.

- **Ryan** hacked on birthday/anniversary (which technically could be the same thing, cause they're both annual) stuff offline, which is an excellent use of a remotehack!

- **Adam** was mostly unavailable, given the sway of the funfair mafia over his daughter. Though he was able to convince her to just go on rides herself, which had the double bonus of making the tokens disappear slower, and not requiring him to go on any rides. However, he did manage to open a PR for the recap of the previous hackday. Embarrassing. This was after about 30 minutes of being confused why his PR wasn't showing up, only to realise that he was not logged into GitHub. Oh wait, he actually did finish one super simple thing, which was some _very_ basic terraform code to [run Veilid nodes](https://github.com/lpmi-13/veilid-terraform-digitalocean/) in a bunch of different regions in Digital Ocean.

- **Joe** did some bread hacking, and then discovered his internet was down, but it was due to needing to actually use the new router that the company told him to use. He then spent the rest of the day adminning IT and eating donuts. Plus side, he's now got wifi6! (I have no idea what that is, but all the kids on TikTok have meme vidz about it)

- **Dan** was able to replatform his on-prem raspberry pi stuff back into the cloud (you know, the stuff he migrated off the cloud to his on-prem raspberry pi because his sysadmin told him it would be LOADS cheaper), mostly because his DevSecOps person (who is also the sysadmin, who is also Dan) told him it was way sketchy to open up his home network to the world. He then thought about using `yq`, but found out that docker compose can do the thing he needed to do anyway.

- **Hugh** learned what the difference is between using 'o' and 'a' in chmod (a sets the value for u, g, and o), and then fought with linux to get it to recognize the serial on his raspberry pi pico - he only wanted to do a quick hack! Then, he continued working on his remotehack project into the evening, only to open the other file on his raspberry pi pico to realize that he had already implemented this project at a previous hack day. Though it turns out the _real_ hack was getting vscode to connect to his pico on linux, and the ports he opened along the way.

- **Pete** was able to continue work on his [linter](https://github.com/peterjwest/unlinted), and obviously linted his own dogfood in the process. Though this particular line in the recap has some extra whitespace at the end, just to spite him.

While I regale you with tales of what everyone did, would you be interested in discussing a ski holiday? No? Well that's alright, I'll keep telling you anyway...

- **Ryan** showed up early and planned to do some guitar string hacking. It's always nice to hear to soft dulcet tones of a well-tune guitar on the slopes, don't you agree? After Ben showed up, they then proceeded to get an AI-bot to respond to things by suggesting everyone go on a ski holiday with them both.

- **Adam** attempted to move the jq-pilot site over to render.io from fly.io, but the official render docs were not helpful at all, and now the site's completely broken...not unlike a fresh dusting of powder after first tracks in the crisp mountain air! He also finished a conference proposal and talked Ryan and Ben _out_ of going with AWS Cognito.

- **Joe** continued the recent trend of bread hacking, and helped Adam come up with a snazzy name for the conference proposal. Speaking of bread-based joke punchlines...dough you want to hear more about a ski holiday?

- **Pete** also showed up, and commenced jailbreaking the AI to actually calculate egg-boiling on the sun, which sounds much less relaxing than a hot tub soak after a long day on the slopes.

- **Ben** appeared to entice everyone with a project about an AI-driven chatbot to remind him to go on his own ski holiday. He also followed Adam's sage advice to favour Auth0 over AWS Cognito, which was very wise and probably saved the project. The only way he could have got wiser was to book a package deal to the alps, which promises to save anywhere between 10-15% on overall group costs...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?! BOOK IT!!! BOOK IT NOW!!!!

- **Hugh** responded to feedback on his long running yet tiny mastodon PR, and then plonked about writing a web based dice roller for an RPG. He did not do what he was intending to do, which was to implement backpropagation for his toy multilayer perceptron implementation in javascript. Oh well, next time.
