We went up our local backyard mountain and boy is it humid. The view after the rain is fairly good, but I’m totally soaked. No photos, I’m too exhausted for that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh, you bet someone is adding them. Being as we are a small community, I could almost guess who added what. 😅

Continuo fazendo material didático aberto sobre #Python e desenho (com #py5):

Mas as coisas estão realmente apertadas, se alguém quiser umas aulas particulares de programação criativa, me escrevam, ou, se puderem, façam pequenas doações (tem informações sobre como colaborar em https://abav.lugaralgum.com/material-aulas/#como-colaborar-e-contribuir e nas minhas postagens do aketch-a-day)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I never did anything remotely like this. I might have to look into it some day. It might be a good topic for a Do What You Want Day.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately. :‘-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve absolutely no idea how they’re poured in. I bet it must be some automatic thing. At least I cannot imagine that any sane person would ever add such junk to a list.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Where do they come from, anyway? Are they somehow auto-discovered or is this a curated list?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I don’t do a lot of CSS and tried to use flexboxes recently, couldn’t find a great explanation. I somehow managed to get the desired effect, but am I using them correctly? Who knows.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I cannot / could not imagine that, either – but if it’s publicly available on the internet and something links to it, they’ll eventually find, scrape it, use it. ☹️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de “Petrasilie” ist eine Verballhornung von “Petersilie” in unserem Haushalt. Frag nicht … 🤐

nixOS is so cool but why does it have this weird ass syntax what is happening

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh it wouldn’t be very long, maybe that’d make for a fun blog post! i just used the same tool that the nerd font people use to add glyphs, but for a “custom glyph set” i just added. the whole noto font LMAO

@bender@twtxt.net Muting on a domain level would be an option.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That sounds fun! I’m happy to read an article on how you did that. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am so tempted to agree with you on this one. There has to be a way to manage that without having to mute the bejesus out of them.

hacking jetbrains mono to include CJK characters from a noto font for stupid purposes (i listen to asian music and my conky sidebar has a lastfm widget so sometimes it shows asian text and jetbrains doesn’t render those. so i am frankensteining my way into making it do that)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hear you! I’d also love to forbid any use in military software (development). Even though I cannot imagine anything of my stuff ending up there.

how do i still barely understand flexbox

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org HES SOOOO CUTE

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Das wär auch meine Vermutung. :-) Wir nennen sie hier Peterling.

@arne@uplegger.eu … Petrasilie? :-D

When I chose the MIT license for all of my software, I thought:

“Should I use GPL, which I don’t really understand? Is that worth it? Yeah, there is a theoretical possibility that some company might use my code in their proprietary product … and then what? Should I sue them to enforce the GPL? I’m not going to do that anyway, so I’ll just use the MIT license.”

And now we have those LLM scrapers and now it’s suddenly a reality that these companies (ab)use my code. I can see it in my logs. I didn’t expect that back then.

GPL wouldn’t help, either, of course. (Regardless, I now think that GPL would have been the better choice anyway.)

I’m honestly considering taking my code and website offline. Maybe make it accessible through some obscure protocol like Gopher or Gemini, but no more HTTP.

(Yes, Anubis might help. Temporarily.)

I’m just tired.

Sooo many new spam feeds to mute in the twtxt.net discovery view. :-( The RSS/Atom to Twtxt feed bridge was a mistake, I believe. I guess I just have to abandon that altogether and rely on my subscriptions to interact with new feeds in order to discover legitimate new ones. Not sure if that works, sounds like a chicken-‘n’-egg problem.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, even a large one!

Getting a bit quiet in the Yarniverse.

@arne@uplegger.eu Was sind denn Petras? :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, this is sick!

@arne@uplegger.eu Ohh, sehr hübsch geworden!

Am Wochenende wurde mit Eisstielen, Stempeln und dem Lötkolben gebastelt.
Das Ergebnis sind Namensschilder für die Kräutertöpfe. Die unegale Optik finde ich sehr angenehm.

PS: Sou ruim de CSS, sejam gentis comigo.

🌈 Hooray! 🌈

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz A blast from the past! 😅 And all of it still works, that’s quite the surprise. I mean, I’m making real phone calls here and let the modems talk over that connection … Almost like in the 90ies. 😅

Hey, hey, happy Pride Day! 🌈

HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE

@movq@www.uninformativ.de THIS IS SOOOO COOL

@nghialele@nghia.im Man, I wish I could watch Formula 1 on a regular basis again, but it has become expensive as fuck here. 🫤

This is my highlight, really, haven’t seen this in action in a loooooooong time:

I had a lot of fun with my modems these past few days:

@nghialele@nghia.im SAME HERE LOL i’m so pissed

@nghialele@nghia.im it’s great to see another Yarnd pod in the wild. Welcome!

I moved 10 years of “to read later” bookmarks from Pocket to raindrop.io, let’s see if I’ll read any 😂

PS: the interface seems very cool, so adding some tags was a nice excursion into the past.

i woke up at 4am noooooooooo

@nghialele@nghia.im hello there nice to meet you! your site protection thing is super funny with the touhou theme lol

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yes this thing is on 😅

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hello ((hello hello [imagine this as an echo])). ☺️

@thecanine@twtxt.net with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?

“Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!”

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz OH SHIT IT’S WORKING

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz https://snippets.4-walls.net/kat/f1381409ed8244f0a60e0a7a6de23365

hey @prologic@twtxt.net heads up - my pod is suddenly having weird 400 bad request errors on things like posting twts, new user registration, following, and more. it’s not just me because a friend is also having these issues as a new user and can’t post. i saw one exception in the logs but i’m not sure if it’s related, i’ll link it in a reply to this

On QRs, as long as they work (and they are quite resilient), it doesn’t matter. Their design, and colours, will be based on theme in which they are included. They are getting used more now in the US. They are king on East Asia. They are awesome.

QR codes, already posted about them in the last two posts, but I want to hear your hot takes: Should they only be black and white, are they even worth doing in 2025, incorporating them into things,..?
Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!

@bender@twtxt.net i LOVE katseye so much they’re like one of my fave girl groups rn

OMG! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I didn’t stop to think on this one. 😅 Of course, duh!

@bender@twtxt.net Not sure if you’re serious or joking, but: IE3 introduced support for CSS, Mosaic completely ignores it. 😅 Besides, it looks fine in IE3 now as well, after I fixed my CSS bug. 🤪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don’t use a Microsoft browser!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bahahahaha 🤣

Cheers @zenbrowser@zenbrowser,
I’m loving #ZenBrowser!

For some reason a few of my pinned tabs seem to be moving back to the first Space Workspace, after moving them to new one a few times (and restarting the browser, I guess). Any tips? Could it be a known issue?

@prologic@twtxt.net Mosaic (2.7) works fine, I maintain that package in the AUR and test my website regularly. 😅

https://movq.de/v/d7787d6fb1/s.png

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So no Mosaic support either? 🤣

@quark@ferengi.one Ah, I see. Hm, only problem is, IE 3 doesn’t seem to support this yet. 😅 Nah, I don’t think I’ll go down that road – seems like a slippery slope. 🤣

Once does the best of things when bored. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yes, I think:

<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../simplicity.css”>
<!--<![endif]-->

Should work, but I haven’t tested it.

@bender@twtxt.net Probably, yes. 🤔 There’s no standard way to do that, though, is there? 🤔

Almost sure it would look even better if you removed CSS altogether for IE3, and the like. Your site is clean as a whistle, just vanilla, no CSS.

… but as it turned out, this was a bug in my CSS. It works now. 🥳

My website is compatible with many old browsers, but Internet Explorer 3, uhm, not so much.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de he’s so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@bender@twtxt.net <3333

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yep, can’t wait to hear that dial-up sound again. 😃

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Awww, welcome to the family, little guy. 😅

You got two plushies! A Tux, and a pretty anime girl! 🙈

I’m finding this very interesting… An evolved neural network that plays the game of tic-tac-toe and so far is a pretty decent player. Here is a visualization of it’s evolved “brain” that underwent GA (genetic algorithm) training with classification learning + self-play.

O Google Drive/Docs tá tendo um soluço ou é só aqui?

Public library: free Wi-Fi
Captive portal based Wi-Fi: failing – it seems common to fail worse on Linux for some reason (better man in the middle sec?)
Form to complain: Google docs, times out.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de THAT’S SO COOL

Maybe you’ll enjoy this as well:

I still have one of my first modems, a Creatix LC 144 VF:

Image

I think this was the modem that I used when I first connected to the internet, but I’m not sure.

I plugged it in again and it still works:

Image

Image

The firmware appears to be from 1994, which sounds about right. I don’t think we had internet access before that. We certainly did use local mailboxes, though. (Or BBS’s, as you might call them.)

I now want to actually use that modem again. For the moment, I can only use a phone to dial into it, I lack a second modem to actually establish a connection. Here’s a video:

Image

Not spectacular, but the modem does answer after me entering ATA.

I bought another cheap old modem on eBay and am now waiting for it to arrive. Once it’s here, I want to simulate an actual dial-up session, hopefully from OS/2 or Windows 3.x.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That would be cool! 😎

@prologic@twtxt.net i can’t wait till forgejo/gitea instances can federate with each other bc i will interact with ur gitea instance from my forgejo instance somehow and someday!!!!

@bender@twtxt.net Well it’s really just for other fellow humans that might not know better and what Microsoft does with your hard™ work 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂

No Github

Please don’t upload my code on Github!

I’m thinking about putting this up on all my projects and even on the front page of my Gitea instance 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net I SAW THIS SHIT I WAS LAUGHING SOOO HARD omg you couldn’t pay me enough to babysit a fucking bot to do shit work

For context, this is a funny

Clumsy tip for #ZenBrowser. If the browser refuses to close a stuck tab, move it to a new window and close the window!

Hey fedifriends, would you know any nice beginner friendly tutorials on #Blender #GeometryNodes to share?

Small joy of the day: instead of dealing with requests I can do py5.load_strings(url) :D

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz since rebuilding eunoia in astro i’ve had soooo much fun with it and i don’t even like JS

astro.js is so cool i love making astro sites

@prologic@twtxt.net good luck!!!!!!!!!
