Hello, everyone!

Based on riscv GNU toolchain.

>The author developed a custom blog platform to support multi-account blogging and address aesthetic preferences. This post details various technical challenges, including fixing HTML standards for site navigation, resolving caching issues with Next.js, and managing site monitoring. It also covers ongoing website refactoring plans, academic pressures, and side projects like updating riscv-mc content and integrating a music tokenization library.

>The author reflects on their summer projects, including a decision to forgo supporting the new FMJ v2. Their primary achievement is creating an optimized RISC-V simulator within Minecraft, capable of running compiled programs like Snake, though they note concerns over its performance with heavy computations. They also discuss refactoring a website with Rust and a large-number calculation datapack.

>The author provides updates on several technical projects, noting a lack of progress on Fabric Mod JSON v2 and celebrating a video reaching 47,000 views. Development continues on a new status page, a blog to circumvent censorship, and an image hosting solution. Efforts on a hardware description language for redstone are ongoing but face challenges in managing complex wiring for numerous components.

>The developer provides a progress update on their project, detailing backend bug fixes, a switch to a new ORM, and plans to adopt Vue. Frontend work is paused. They discuss challenges in mod development with Fabric, including plans for cross-version support and an automated testing system. A significant portion of the update is dedicated to resolving issues with a multi-threaded downloader created to expedite dependency downloads, which required extensive rewrites to fix bugs related to caching and certificate handling.

>The author reports on ongoing software development work, focusing on two main areas. For a Fabric mod, the FMJ v2 component is nearly complete and awaits testing. Concurrently, they are engaged in full-stack development, having switched the ORM for better JSON support. Efforts to enhance the authentication system and UI are partially done, with an email system implemented and return values standardized, but error handling remains non-functional.

>In a brief blog post, the author reflects on a rejected pull request for Fabric loader due to its aggressive approach and subpar quality, noting plans to collaborate on a similar feature. They also describe creating two tools: one for managing server.properties with a formatting error, and another for video clipping via image recognition, which functions despite performance issues.

>This blog post details the technical challenges and solutions for a custom music streaming website. The author explains how a recent browser update broke the old audio streaming logic, necessitating a new approach using Media Source Extensions and mp4-box.js to handle Bilibili's m4a format. The post also covers the motivations for building a custom platform, including resource integration and playback control, and mentions its Next.js and Vercel-based architecture.
