@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, a movqOS, that’s super cool! :-)

Yeah, glossy screens are straight from hell. :-D What’s this spooky wind chime background music?

Anyway, have great fun learning more and experimenting with this low level stuff!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately, there is no shortage of terrible UI designers. To be fair, I’m probably one of them when it comes to the point.

Danke, @arne@uplegger.eu. Ich werde berichten.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, nice! :-D This is the real one today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-12-20/01.jpg It was a bit more intense some minutes ago, though.

Moin @arne@uplegger.eu, herzlich willkommen! Ich bin gerade auf https://uplegger.eu/blog/popelfinger gestoßen und war sofort sehr begeistert. :-D Mal sehen, ob ich die anderen an einem der Feiertage davon überzeugt bekomme, das mal auszuprobieren. :-)

No, of course not. This is the gingerbread in the oven with my digicam’s sunset program. The second photo shows the colors more like they are in reality. It surprises me every year how absolutely sticky this dough is. Holy cow! Close to impossible to spread it evenly in the baking tray. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/lebkuchen-2024-12-20/

Glad you like them, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com. Anytime!

In the short horizontal rain stroll a few minutes ago I noticed that my rain trousers leak around the right knee.

This is a very nice article from 20 years ago, probably still valid: The Command Line – The Best Newbie Interface? https://www.osnews.com/story/6282/the-command-line-the-best-newbie-interface/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yep, 14 is a house martin tower: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwalbenhaus There are a few around here, although most of these nesting boxes are actually not on dedicated towers, but attached at the roof overhangs of private houses.

Brilliant, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I didn’t think of the keystore! :-D

Me too, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com, I don’t know how many entire books I had to rewrite because of Ctrl+W irreversibly deleting the entire chapter.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting! I always use uBlock Origin to do that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Did it work!? :-D

With these programmable keyboards today, one could easily make the keyboard type the entire password with one key stroke…

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Not only the print quality, but the t-shirt itself was often an issue in the past I’ve found. To be fair, my experience is from a decade ago.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, you showed this keyboard stand some time ago. I completely forgot about that.

@eapl.me@eapl.me @bender@twtxt.net @skinshafi@thunix.net The feed that nobody follows out of fear.

When I started programming in Delphi, I always included all the files (not only the *.exe, but also *.pas and what else there was) when giving friends my programs on floppy disks. I didn’t know that the executable was technically enough. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You won’t believe how happy I was when I turned off my work machine a few minutes ago. It feels absolutely amazing! :-D

Despite being a gray day, I still decided to have a longer lunch break and went for a stroll in the woods: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-12-12/ Just returned in time for the next meeting.

Image

No surprise, @skinshafi@thunix.net, they can be easily mixed up. See, the hemming distance between prologic and _doesnm__ is just 7! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fear not, there is probably Paint on DOS! :-D

On a more serious note, what things did you 3D-print?

Yeah, @eapl.me@eapl.me, I kinda like file extensions in some situations. What do you think of twtxt.exe, @bender@twtxt.net? ]:->

Yeah, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! “Sorry boss, I accidentally removed the bug report, because the button suddenly materialized under my cursor.” :-D

Luckily, I do not have to deal with that UI from hell for three and a half weeks very soon.

Agreed, @bender@twtxt.net, bad typography always kills it for me, too.

@prologic@twtxt.net Maybe Becky mistyped, she’s a ninja and wanted to show off her naked sword. :-D

I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! I have to wait five seconds after opening any Jira ticket before the JS garbage has eventually fetched all the other information and rebuilt the DOM. Only then I can actually begin to scroll down to the information I’m after. Every fucking time.

@anth@a.9srv.net I envy you. I should have chosen that filename, too.

Thank you @bender@twtxt.net and @movq@www.uninformativ.de!

I partially fixed the code block rendering. With some terrible hacks, though. :-( I see that empty lines in code block still need some more work. There are also some other cases around line continuation where the result looks ugly. I have to refactor some parts to make this go more smoothly and do this properly. No way around that.

Image

Turns out, my current message text parser does not even parse plain links. That’s next on the agenda.

Oh, I also noticed that this thing crashes when there is not enough space to actually draw stuff. No shortage of work. Anyway, time is up, good night. :-)

Finally, the message rendering in my tt Go rewrite produces some colors. There is definitely a lot more tweaking necessary. But this is a first step in the right direction.

Image

@bender@twtxt.net There’s a lot of unused space left on the house!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! I find it funny what brain autocorrects can come up with. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Heck yeah, gorgeous! Did you hike up there?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuh, nice! Despite the weather service claiming that it is snowing at this very moment, there is absolutely nothing here.

It just worked fine like nothing had ever happened when I booted my laptop this morning.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ; \m/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D

Thank you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! Luckily, I can disable it. I also tried it, no luck, though. But the problem is, I don’t really know how much snakeoil actually runs on my machine. There is definitely a ClownStrike infestation, I stopped the falcon sensor. But there might be even more, I’ve no idea. From the vague answers I got last time, it feels like even the UHD/IT guys don’t know what is in use. O_o

Yeah, it is definitely something on my laptop that rejects connections to IPv4 ports 80 and 443. All other devices here can access the stuff without issue, only this work machine is unable to. The “Connection refused” happens within a few milliseconds.

Unfortunately, I do not have the slightest idea how it works. But maybe I can look into that tomorrow. Kernel modules are a very good hint, thank you! <3

You’re right, it might be some sort of fail-safe mechanism. But then, why just block IPv4 and not also IPv6? But maybe because the VPN and company servers require IPv4, there is zero IPv6 support. (Yeah, don’t ask, I don’t understand it either.)

Haha, I never ran across this before: http://www.wtfpl.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wtfpl-strip.jpg

LOOOOL, great programming tutorial music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yup8gIXxWDU

@skinshafi@thunix.net Ah nice, it indeed fixed it. I don’t get the warning anymore. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats! :-) I still have to survive work next week.

Fuck me dead, what a giant piece of shit. On my Linux work laptop I have the problem that some unknown snakeoil “security” junk is dropping any IPv4 connections to ports 80 and 443. All other ports and IPv6 seem unaffected. I get an immediate “connection refused” when trying to estabslish a connection.

I had this problem four weeks ago on Friday morning the very first time at home. On Thursday evening, everything was perfectly fine. Eventually, I plugged in the LAN cable in the office and everything got automatically fixed. Nobody can explain what’s happening.

Then, last week Friday morning out of the blue, the same issue was back. So, I went to the office yesterday and it got fixed again by plugging in the network cable. This evening, I have exactly the same bloody problem again.

What the hell is going on? Does anyone have any ideas? I’m certainly not an expert, but I don’t see anything suspicious in iptables or nft rules. I also do not see anything showing up in /var/log/kern.log. Even tried to stop firewalld, flush the iptables and nft rules, but that didn’t result in any changes.

@skinshafi@thunix.net You might want to consider adding basic caching support:

… returned 200 but no Last-Modified header - can’t cache content

@mckinley@twtxt.net To help saving the planet is a good reason. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Brilliant! How can I join?

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Nothing to see, move on. Totally safe, no danger to the public. Yikes!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh man, this is beautiful! We had sunshine all day long. But it was cold, too. When I left the house in the late afternoon, the sun was creating this magical red light. I just hit the right time, all the autumn colors popped out like crazy when I walked down the street. Didn’t bring my camera, though.

Have fun, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! :-) But I’m out.

@xuu@txt.sour.is That’s cool, I read chapter one and will continue.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Ah, so you inspired people with something absolutely new to them. That’s cool. :-)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Cool! Just curious, did you run into somebody who already heard of twtxt before? Or maybe even tried it.

@prologic@twtxt.net Very nice! Like a castle moat. :-)

I had to go to the office today and both train rides worked out just fine. Surprising!

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool! Enjoy your vacation!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ll ask them when I see somebody around next time. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Exactly, that’s a really weird “r”. The only thing I can think of is that the wooden letters were cut out on a bandsaw. Whoever made the sign wanted to avoid cutting a hole in an uppercase “R”, because they had no jigsaw on hand. So, they went with the lowercase one.

@bender@twtxt.net Wow, crazy. Well, at least your own place seems to be safe. Stay alert and don’t infect yourselves with salmonella.

@bender@twtxt.net Ta! <3

@bender@twtxt.net I see. Interesting articles, ta! Have you seen a python or iguana in the wild?

I’m very glad that I decided to have a very long lunch break today. When I reached the summit, dark clouds came from the northwest and the sun was gone for the day. But on the way there I was delighted about all the beautifully blazing colors around me. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-11-25/

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net How cool is that! :-) @bender@twtxt.net Oh no, this is sad. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same here, I agree. :-)

That’s very interesting. This dude runs everything at this airport. https://youtu.be/c1wkx1V1qHY

WTF, it’s getting warmer tonight than it was during the day. O_o

We had 5cm snow at our scout yard at 10 o’clock. But it was nearly fully gone when we called it quits after sunset.

In May we charred cloth to be used as tinder. A fire steel and some wood shavings lit the fire in under a minute. Maybe half. That was good fun. I reckon I have to replenish the charred cloth soon, though. It’s crazy how great that works. I’m absolutely amazed.

We cut back the thorny brushes for hours and eventually winched out some heavy fallen trees. That was really cool to see this powerful winch in action. Absolutely effortless. It was also a complete one man show. We couldn’t do anything and just watch. There is no chance that we could have moved the tree trunks up the steep hill with just man power. Well, a few dozen people might have made it with great struggle.

Next time we have to cut them into smaller pieces and split them into firewood or keep some for contruction. I will see whether I can safe some to cut some boards from. A sawmill would be really cool to have. :-)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com You could use https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/twthash.py to generate twt hashes. I cobbled that together in order to generate test data for my client.

@bender@twtxt.net He’ll probably reply from his other feed, let’s see. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Her maiden name is Raider.

@mckinley@mckinley.cc Regarding https://mckinley.cc/notes/20241120-css3-announcement.xhtml, I’m wondering why you support viewing your website on a printer? :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Oohh, I see! :-D

@xuu@txt.sour.is I don’t understand. Apart from the sentence being incomplete, what’s “EF”?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yesterday, it was relatively nice at 11°C or so. Very windy and completely gray, though. Today, the sun was out at roughly just 5°C. The colors glowed much more in reality than in the photos: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2024-11-20/

I finally changed the broken gear shift bowden cable of my bicycle in a longer lunch break.

@bender@twtxt.net My made-up rule is to keep at least three full months in the main feed and when rotating, I create one feed per month.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt There is no real recommendation I think. But if you hit half a MiB or so, it might be worth considering to rotate in order to keep the network traffic low. People with bad connectivitiy might appreciate it. I want to implement HTTP range requests in my client rewrite at some point in time (but first, it has to become kinda usable, though).

@sorenpeter@darch.dk @movq@www.uninformativ.de Hell yeah, this is awesome! :-)

Time to rotate three months into archive feeds again.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hahaha! :‘-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Right, sooo strange. :-D But it worked, they managed to make me talk about that. Damn.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yeah, the evening (and also morning) sun creates an absolutely great light. I really love it, it never gets old.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When looking closely in the woods, I can spot ants that are sized the width of a finger. Soldier ants are also often larger than the workers they protect. But yeah, most ants in our regions are relatively small. :-)

Got an advertising handout in the letterbox that a pizzeria will offer and also deliver brick-oven-baked pizza starting 1st April.

Taking photos from a moving car is a tough challenge. https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendheimfahrt-2024-11-16/

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I can’t make it, we tidy up our scout yard.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, cool. Larger than the the workers. I don’t know the actual size of this test tube, but when this is a regular sized one, the queen is still not that big.

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net No worries. In the end you did it all with your backup. And sorry for my exported timezone mess. :-/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m all in on paper. In fact I noted down a todo item today on a physical sheet of paper when I was on the phone with a workmate. It then occurred to me that I could have just written it in a scratch file.

The parchment, on the other hand, might be a bit wasteful for just temporary ideas that are not perfectly layed out yet.

@wbknl@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net For improved longevity you should consider carving in steel or stone. This also has the additional benefit that you think more carefully before actually noting it down.

@bender@twtxt.net The world is full of fools. One of ‘em might even buy that for this money. O_o Even the original price is a total ripoff in my opinion.

@bender@twtxt.net Try blocking JS.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the Swiss and C++ programmers use apostrophes. :-) My grandpa had an electronic desk calculator that also used some kind of apostrophes as the thousands separator on its cool display. Maybe it consisted of Nixie tubes, can’t remember anymore.

I think non-breaking spaces are preferred nowadays to avoid the confusion.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The dot is the thousands separator, so I’m surprised that it did not interpret it as €334,900.00. Luckily, you caught it in time! :-)

@xuu@txt.sour.is Hahaha, nice expression. :-D

@bender@twtxt.net Fair point, could be. I probably have to implement it first or create some kind of a mockup to spare me the effort of some feature that I rip out again. :-)

@xuu@txt.sour.is Yep!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Riiiight, I now remember reading that a long time ago. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net I now read the German Wikipedia article on fog. These are some really beautiful pictures:
