Speedy recovery, @bender@twtxt.net! Ouch, @movq@www.uninformativ.de!
After a nearby lightning strike one of my screens turned off for a second. That was the signal to call it quits today.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Such piece of shit software makes me want to quit. Esp. if it is just for useless compliance garbage that never helped anybody accomplishing any real improvement. Is it from IBM? We once had to build a threat model with some terrible generator and my goodness, you canāt believe what a myriad of hopelessly useless, wrong entries it produced. Thousands of thousands of lines. At least it was markdown. We basically removed like 99% of its output after reading through every single item. Did this once and refused to touch it ever since. All hand-written now and actually helpful.
@prologic@twtxt.net Speaking of broken mentions, do you want to install a more recent yarns version so that my error log is not spammed anymore with 404s? 8-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zero progress on mine. :-( I still rely on the official twtxt client to download the (main) feed.
Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! Hahaha, didnāt think of that. :-D Nah, this guy is not creepy, heās just a melting flower snowman. ;-) Rest assured, he was unharmed on the table, you can see him here: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-04-21/23.JPG
Jaja, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, immer schƶn aufmerksam der guten SteckdosenprƤsi folgen und im Anschluss in der Exzellenztabelle was eintragen und ausrechnen lassen! :-D Klingt alles recht albern. Ich schƤtz aber mal, dass einem das gar nicht mehr auffƤllt.
@bender@twtxt.net Fenster 11 ā Windows 11; KraftPunkt (or Steckdose) ā PowerPoint; Deppendrehkreuz (awesome translation btw, I had to laugh hard!) ā GitHub.
Went out in the cold and noticed that taking photos half an hour on top of the drafty summit is not the very best idea. Not suprising that I freeze if there is snow. Gloves would have been actually great, I only wore my beanie. But it was a very good afternoon and evening. Looking at the snowmen, there must have been heaps of snow on the ground earlier this day.
I came across several different birds and two deer. 36-38 shows the same one, one meadow further, another deer jumped across the road. That was cool.
The focus often wanted to do its own thing, unfortunately. 25 shows the flatness of the Kaiserbergsteige (literally āEmperor Mountain Steep Roadā).
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Vobis doesnāt ring a bell. I looked them up, but still nope.
Yeah, HDDs arenāt the fastest things in the world. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Sadly true. :-(
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting. Never came across the term presentation manager in my life, but I also never used OS/2. :-)
Yeah, stopping the scanning thread is more a learning experience than a necessity. The scanning message is hardly visible in your videos. Itās already very quick.
Iām with you, @bender@twtxt.net, weekends are way too short.
Oh, you finally did implement multithreading, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Cool, cool. :-) https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2024-04-21/0/POSTING-en.html Just in case you want to keep working on PMdusage, my suggestion for a future upgrade is to make the scan abortable. 8-) By the way, what does āPMā in āPMdusageā stand for?
Always great to see that bugs are quickly fixed.
Thereās a tiny typo in the second to last paragraph: āWindows NT is something that I had no contact withā¦ā
@mckinley@mckinley.cc Haha, interesting read.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice, I can confirm itās now fixed. I reckon the Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
did the trick. Something in the twtxt client must have incorrectly guessed ISO-8859-1 or something along those lines when there was no charset advertised in the response header.
@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Agreed, looking heaps better. <3
Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! What?! Iām heading straight to Wikipediaā¦
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thatās what I figured, since ncdu
shows it at the bottom. ;-) But itās actually pretty smart, to be honest. More space for precious content. And the title bar exists anyway, so why not make use of it with something helpful? Also, with entries being in descending order, itās actually natural to show the sum as the even higher number above the largest entry and not at the bottom in another status line widget. 8-)
Welcome @aelaraji@aelaraji.com!
What the heck is going on with the encoding here?! The feedās Content-Type
header does not include any charset, but Iām still relying on the official twtxt client to fetch and parse feeds. Havenāt noticed this with any other feeds. Where in the chain is this messed up? :-? Seems like the āspaceā is the Unicode line separator U+2028, that we use for newlines.
We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didnāt hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh nice, it even shows the sum in the title bar.
@prologic@twtxt.net Iām glad that this stats view is actually useful. :-)
I got an e-mail today about my Linux notebook reaching end of support, yada yada yada. It mentioned that with the new stuff Okular will be able to sign PDFs. Never ever had to use that, but maybe some Linux user finds this information useful.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon itās now here.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de We just had a quick heavy rain shower roll past. Didnāt notice storm, though. Be safe!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool, nice progress! :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon they mostly ship stuff nowadays. Beware, looks like this website and their marketing is from the last millennium. Their front page is hillarious, so is this company comic: https://tito-international.de/i/comic-of-company (I have no affiliation with them).
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Definitely better for them, yeah. :-)
Ah, interesting. Ui, that can hold some water. Certainly looks like a water level gauge to me. Maybe a precaution for a hundred-year flood or something like that. Or is there a dam nearby? Could be a facility to reduce damage in case it breaks.
I took advantage of the last sunny, but also 25Ā°C hot day and hiked in the woods. It was so much more pleasant in the forest than out in the sun. The wind could have been a long stronger with that heat. I was completely soaked.
At one point I thought I better grab my camera out of my backpack, so whenever something comes up, Iām ready. But I was too lazy and thought, well, I just wait until there is a nice subject and keep going instead. No joke, ten meters further I came across two squirrels. A red and a brown one, sitting on a tree at just one and three meters height two meters away from me. If I only had unpacked my bloody cam a few seconds ago! I just watched them sit on the tree and then tried to slowly strip my backpack and grad the cam. It was still booting up when they decided it was enough sitting around and climbed higher. What a silly move on my end, damn.
I tried to improvise some Lyse Street View, but felt really uncomfortable to photograph other peopleās houses. Somehow my cam produced sooo many blurred shots on the way up still away from the village, itās unbelievable. I scrapped nearly the entire project. Only very few survived. There were heaps of people on the mountain summit, so I quickly left again.

Looking forward to next weekās rain and temperature drop to 16Ā°C or even 8Ā°C.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon you have to wait a bit for that to happen or just come by one day. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net Oh no, thatās so silly.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Even just consumer grade. Wow! I also only rarely print anything and I always got third-party toners, never was disappointed with them. Last year I noticed that we have an ink and toner shop in town and bought there. That actually exist over two decades now, but looks extremely inconspicuous.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow, how cool is that?! :-) Ducks over here are quite shy, unfortunately. In Ludwigsburg on the other hand they are very habituated to humans. I was very surprised to see that when visiting a mate. There were a bunch of them laying on the stairs and I tried to keep my distance to not scare them off. Didnāt dare to get closer than maybe five meters or so and was super happy that they stayed. That has always been impossible over here. After we proceeded, some tourists came by and stood a meter next to them or so. That was crazy for me to see. :-)
Yeah, walking next to a highway is torture. I try to avoid it as much as possible.
Nice! The third photo looks like a Kneipp basin. Whatās that round tunnel? I love those moss-covered rocks, they just look so beautiful.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Yes, standard time forever would be so great!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de It can already drive if you as the legal representative sit in the codriver seat!
Thatās really impressive I have to say.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh cute! That drake wasnāt scared, was he? Yes, please take your good cam next time. :-)
Was that a highway that you were walking next to? The last one shows a really cool scenery. I dig that.
-ldflags '-w'
still 1.3Ā MiB. Growing with each Go release.
And I just came across this one in my feed: https://benhoyt.com/writings/go-version-performance-2024/ At least from 1.17 onwards size is actually growing again. I didnāt measure early enough.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net The several megabytes of Go binaries always feel so wrong. Hello world is 1.8Ā MiB, with -ldflags '-w'
still 1.3Ā MiB. Growing with each Go release.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, at least not that I know of. The closest would be probably the one from the Americans in Stuttgart. No idea whose war machines these were, though.
The mountain is 684Ā meters above sea level, so this makes for a difference of about 350 meters in 5Ā kilometers (most direct trip). Plus a little bit up and down here and there, or more, depending on the selected route. But itās not climbing stairs, so itās much more pleasant Iād say. Kudos to you! The last section is the actually steep part. Each brown contour line marks an increase of 10Ā meters. Sure enough, Iām glad when I finally reach the summit and can pause for a breath. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I just donāt. But this script looks really interesting.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de 50Ā kB executable sizes, nice! I canāt even recall when I came across one this small. The good old days.
Hmm, three war helicopters clattered past today. It was (and still is) very sunny and thereās just a little wind. The 21Ā°C sun on the back felt pleasant. In the forest we encountered two dead mice on the paths, they might have been dropped by birds. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-04-12/
Just a few minutes into my walk I saw a raven chopping up a slow worm in three parts. :-( I rescued the reptile as best as what you can call rescue in that state. Crazy how the the tail and middle part kept on twisting hard for minutes. I didnāt see where the raven went hiding, so I can only hope it did not reattack after the slow worm went its way and I left the scene.
The small forest pond was covered in pollen, looked like a liming truck went by. And the other one with the duck was really oily. Way more than last time. Didnāt look healthy at all. :-(
