Solve Advent of Code day 2 on:

@vaporeon_ so-called "fake programmers" when approaching day 2 of AoC:

@wallhackio That's not really an achievement, especially considering how many hours it took me...

To be fair, most of that was because I started with an idea of how it could be done without any divisios or moduli, but ultimately I am too stupid to implement that, especially in PDP-8 assembly

Then I spent a while debugging my hardware setup and figuring out how to get the big input file onto the JavaStation when it doesn't support the dl command... The idea is just cat input1.txt > /dev/ttyS0, but I had to write a quick Perl script to send delays between every line because it breaks horribly otherwise
