Last December I solved @synacktiv.com 2025 Winter Challenge: Quinindrome bsky.app/profile/syna... . Here is a 81-byte Linux program which is both a quine (it prints itself when executed) and a palindrome (it is symmetrical)! To learn how I achieved it: github.com/fishilico/sy...

Screenshot of a terminal with a hexadecimal dump of a 81-byte Quinindrome:

Winter is here, it's time to test your assembly skills with the #Synacktiv Winter Challenge 🏂. A code golf competition that guarantees hours of intense x86 instruction optimization! 🔗 Participate here: www.synacktiv.com/en/publicati...

This summer @synacktiv.com organized an interesting challenge: the aim was to craft a container image as small as possible which replicated itself (i.e. an OCI Image Quine), bsky.app/profile/syna.... I am now publishing a write-up of what I did (Rust/asm/code golfing/...): github.com/fishilico/sy...
