@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, right, I almost forgot. 😅 Nice shot! (Updated my avatar as well.)

Introduced a colleague to ed(1) today. “Ohh, that’s nice. I always wanted to have a tool like that.” 🥳 (This refers strictly to ed’s ability to edit files from a script. Like, “search for regex $foo, go down five lines, now search for $bar from here, then change $x to $y in the matching line.”)

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Yeah, AoC super stressful if you try to do “one challenge per day”. I tried that last year (and tried to beat colleagues on top of that). It’s fun, but exhausting. I won’t do that again. 😅 Take as much time as you need.

@tkanos@twtxt.net Your PC burnt? 😨 Oh dear! Which course was that, though, do you remember?

Advent of Code 2022 started today.

https://adventofcode.com/2022

Anybody else doing it this year? Although, I shouldn’t ask that question. I really want to do it in Rust this year, and avoid all kinds of competition. 😅 (Competition would drive me to not using Rust, because I’m still not very productive with this language.)

@prologic@twtxt.net I didn’t. Pretty bold to ask for donations then. 😳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 😂

Ich würde auf eine 8 tippen. Im Aktenzeichen (was ich ja geschwärzt hatte) ist eine 3 mit drin und die sieht deutlich anders aus. An anderer Stelle steht noch eine 2, die ist auch nochmal anders. All das kann das Detektivbüro Lyse natürlich nicht wissen. 😅

Wikipedia is asking for donations again (at least here in Germany). They show a (very annoying) popup. When you close it, a second small popup appears and asks if you would like to donate at a later point. As I actually do intend to donate some bucks later, I clicked “yes”.

Trouble is, that popup appears every time.

Just now, I clicked “no, I do not want to donate” for a change. Turns out, now the popup is gone for good. 🥴

So I now have to click “no” all the time (because I don’t store cookies when the browser closes). This sends the wrong signal to Wikipedia. 😂 I do want to donate, I just want the damn popup to be gone.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 😂

Gar so stürmisch war es hier in der letzten Zeit nicht. Aber das wäre natürlich noch lustiger, wenn der Topf mitsamt „anonymer Anzeige“ in Sicherheit gebracht und dann wieder rausgestellt worden wäre … 😂

Ich behalte die Situation im Auge. 😏 (Aktenzeichen bringt mich nicht weiter oder ich weiß nicht, wo ich da Infos zu finde.)

@eaplmx@twtxt.net This is so crazy.

I just don’t get how this is not a transitive problem. What good does it do if only some states at the border follow US time? Doesn’t this just shift the problem from, say, Juárez to Ahumada? Before, Juárez had trouble with Texas. Now, Ahumada should have trouble with Juárez, so the issue has just shifted. 🤷

Humans are strange. 🤪 👽

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Keine Ahnung, heute zum ersten Mal gesehen. 😅 Schade, dass man das Datum nicht mehr lesen kann. Wüsste gerne, wie lange das alles schon so da steht. 🥴

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org IIUC, the common feral pigeons are descendants of Rock Doves and/or Wood Pigeons. (Legend says that they didn’t come here by accident but are descendants of pets, escaped from breeders … hence they multiply so quickly.)

More timezone confusion in Mexico: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2022-November/032358.html I don’t claim to fully understand what’s going on there. Rather sudden changes, though.

Erster Akt: Jemand stellt einen Blumenkübel mit Blumen für Bienen auf.

Zweiter Akt: Anonyme Anzeige, denn das geht ja schließlich nicht. Wo kämen wir da hin.

Dritter Akt: Nix passiert, steht immer noch da, Hinweisschild vergammelt. 🤣👍

@logout@i-logout.cz Uh, the nostalgia. 😅 That is an actual PowerPC machine, not an emulated system, right?

@logout@i-logout.cz Glad to hear that. 😊

@darch@neotxt.dk Your reply used a completely wrong mention. 🤔 What happened here? 😅

@logout@i-logout.cz If pine / alpine can work with Maildir, you might be able to use that instead of mutt. 🤔 Anyway, welcome again. 🙂

@logout@i-logout.cz Probably not. Clients will probably not pick up your change, I guess. 🫤

Got drying machines after all. Oh, the noise. 😮‍💨

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Curious, I see Türkentauben (eurasian collared dove) all over the place now. 🤔 The ones I saw at my place made the stranges sounds, not like pigeons at all. Didn’t get a chance to record it, though.

@darch@neotxt.dk 🤣

This was a phantastic game. I wish you could play it a second time. (I remember pretty much every detail, so …)

The Skyrim soundtrack is so phenomenally good. 😳 // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQeIYVM3YBM #NowPlaying

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org A boar, oh dear. 😳 Sunny weather makes for much more appealing photos, if you ask me. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks. 🙃 Yeah, I’m pretty high up, but there’s still people above me (so still plenty of opportunity for water damage 😅). But, well, even at the top I’d get water damage, because the roof is leaking. 🤣

The first raptor (4273), oof, I was just a couple of meters away from it – but I didn’t notice and neither did the bird. 🥴 Then we pretty much noticed each other at the same time, I reached for the camera, but of course it flew away. Luckily, it landed again nearby, so it could still make some shots using high zoom.

It looks super foggy from my apartment (tower building and all – I see a plain white wall when I look out the window), so I thought I’d go for a walk and take the camera with me, because fog can make for some great shots. Turns out, it’s only foggy up here, not so much down on the ground. Oh well.

I was hoping for more wet spider webs.

Android killed my GPS logger halfway through, great, thanks for that.

@prologic@twtxt.net Huh, I hadn’t checked. As it turns out, it uses this by default:

https://github.com/dagrejs/dagre

That’s a) a JavaScript library (?!), b) not maintained either.

@justamoment@twtxt.net No, no, no, you’re not a bot. Everything’s fine. 🙃 (Hey, psst, Steve! The bots are getting self-aware! We should reboot the system …)

@prologic@twtxt.net Neat indeed. 🤔

While we’re at it, I just learned through text-to-diagram.com that Graphviz (which I’ve used basically forever) is dying:

This project has only 3 of its founders remaining as volunteer maintainers, and support is limited and may end soon. If you can help fund to a more formal foundation to continue this project, please contact north on graphviz org.

https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz#support 😢

D2 does appear to produce better results, though, anyway … 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I see what you did there! 😅

10.jpg is a lovely shot. 👌

Did you take those shots after sundown without a tripod? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org lol 😅 I think you pass the test. 👌 (Well, is a slide a bridge? 🤔)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Select all images with bridges

Huh, just noticed that my client currently holds 51839 twts (28 MB). Way more than I expected. 😅 (I’m not following any bots.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s right. 🤔 Those sheets are not exactly A4. And they’re super thin, very little stability – that’s the main problem, I guess.

Playing upright bass is so much fun. 😊 I struggled a lot in the beginning and that shit is still super hard, but it’s getting better every day. 🥳 Been at it for about half a year now …

https://movq.de/v/5c063729ae/fever-playover.ogg

(Backing track is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn5P88OOJkc with the bass cut out.)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Right, hence a disconnected branch that you’d never interact with. 🤔 But really, no idea, I’ll have to take a closer look at the project first. 👌

Interesting indeed. I’m curious why they didn’t chose a dedicated branch with regular files instead of working with Git objects directly. 🤔 Might be an interesting project for a gloomy weekend.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sneaky edit. 😏 I had to look up if it could be real. 😅

I was about to throw away some “Gelbe Seiten”, then I remembered this twt. It kind of … works … a bit … nah, it doesn’t.

@logout@i-logout.cz (I’m not even sure if you can properly read my multiline reply with the old original client. Hmm.)

@logout@i-logout.cz Yeah, none of the original twtxt clients support the newer stuff that was developed in the context of Yarn.social. That topic in brackets, in particular, is specified in these two documents:

• https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/twthashextension.html
  
• https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/twtsubjectextension.html
  

(Which reminds me, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and @prologic@twtxt.net, that the latter is a bit outdated. We don’t use the URL part anymore, just the hash.)

On https://yarn.social/, three clients are listed:

• https://github.com/jdtron/twet
  
• https://git.envs.net/duriny/twtr (no longer maintained, but maybe someone will pick it up again)
  
• https://uninformativ.de/git/jenny (tutorial: https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2021-09-19/0/POSTING-en.html)
  

jenny is my own client, so, to be honest, I never gave the other ones a try. Nevertheless, I presume that they all support the aforementioned extensions.

There certainly is a lack of clients, that’s for sure. We could use more of them. :-)

@xuu@txt.sour.is Ohhh, thank you. 🤯 Yeah, now I hear it, too.

To be fair, the ad is a bit longer than just that snippet. 😅 The rest of it wasn’t relevant to my question, though. (It’s messages from Ukrainian students asking for help/support.)

@eaplmx@twtxt.net That might be it, yes. 🤔

Too bad. It’ll remain a mystery then. 🥴

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Absolutely. 😍 Orange-red light is the best.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, it was by accident. At first, I thought you found something better. 😅

@logout@i-logout.cz Heyho, welcome aboard. :-) 🥳

Dear native english speakers, I keep hearing this ad on di.fm:

https://movq.de/v/f7d0706059/foundation.ogg

The what foundation? 🤨 Collotrary? Connotrary? I don’t understand what this dude is saying and this keeps bugging me. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Das kann aber ins Auge gehen! (Es ist Freitag … 🤪)

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net That’s neat. Instead of throwing away all the useless snail mail spam, I’ll make paper planes now. 😁
