🕟 Hi, the current time is about a quarter till eleven in the night 🌃.

Similar here 🥳 9 days then i’m off for 3 weeks. but really 20 working days!

Been to the Märklineum yesterday. They have a really cool railway installation, heaps of locomotives and rail carriages and all sorts of other old toys that Märklin manufactured over three floors on display. To noone’s surprise, my camera didn’t like the lighting conditions. These are the least horrible ones:

https://lyse.isobeef.org/maerklineum-2026-08-25/

Certainly worth a visit when you’re in the area.

Blodsvept and Vredesvävd are great as well.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Hahaha, a festival, indeed! :-D There was also “Raupenkrieg” (caterpillar war): jumping against each other in sleeping bags. I reckon that counts as pogo or mosh pit.

And back in the days, we had wonderful deep mud all around us, too! In extreme years we even needed to leave the camp ground for a day and walk to a gym with all the kids. There was just too much rain and the creek dangerously high.

We once had an actual creek running through the dining tent before the kids arrived. Luckily, it didn’t originate from the official creek, but the water came down the hillside. Unimaginable today with all these droughts in summer. Many creeks around here are dried up for several weeks, if not months now.

There you go, enjoy my favorite selection of yummy chocolate on the ground!

It was a question of the mindset. Once we supervisors just made the best out of it and tried to had fun, the kids typically didn’t mind the mess either. Besides building huts, one of the most favorite things ever was actually “Matschschöpfen” (scooping mud). The kids scooped puddles into wheel barrows using giant soup ladles from the kitchen. “Sorry kids, time is up for today. Whoever sits in the closing circle first gets to go first tomorrow.” Unfortunatly, I don’t find any photos from that.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I still have the movie in my archive. It’s a “TV capture” from 20 years ago, in German, super low resolution, noisy, … 🤪

Image

Despite the shitty quality, the file is 1.1 GB large. Video codecs were really bad back then.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nattfödd was the last album I heard / bought. I liked Katla and Wilska as singers (saw them live with Wilska, that was a ton of fun), but then they switched again and the new guy wasn’t really my thing. Maybe I should check them again. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “Festival light”, huh? 😅

Ainda pensei em voltar e ir explicar à senhora que estava a ser alvo de uma burla, mas a falta de simpatia dela no processo todo fez-me concluir que só ia perder tempo.

O que mais me enfureceu foi perceber que seria o tipo de burla que o Whatsapp, centralmente, poderia perfeitamente eliminar (contas com nomes de jogadores de futebol em países não relacionados, a comunicar com idosos), mas aqui estamos

Não só ela tinha o Cristiano nos contactos do Whatsapp, mas também a Georgina Rodriguez, e mais dois nomes de raiz árabe. Decorei o prefixo comum de todos os números desses contactos, que era “+23”.

Depois de sair, fui espreitar de que país era esse prefixo. É de vários países africanos, incluindo Cabo Verde, S. Tomé e Nigéria.

Lá descubro a opção de partilhar no Whatsapp e pergunto para onde ela quer mandar, e ela “é pra este”. Um contacto chamado “Cristiano Ronaldo”.

Mandei, e reparei numa conversa em que ela estava a explicar que só tinha conseguido tirar essa foto ali. Claro que não resisti: “a senhora conhece o Cristiano?” e ela acenou que sim, com uma expressão a dizer-me claramente “andas a fazer perguntas a mais, ó crianço”

Hoje vi pela primeira vez uma daquelas burlas apontadas a idosos que me deixou algo perturbado.

No café, uma senhora relativamente idosa (70?) abordou-me para a ajudar a enviar fotos. OK, bora. Era uma foto dela com a estátua do Cristiano Ronaldo que está em todas as lojas de merchandise da selecção nacional.

Had no clue @prologic@twtxt.net has his own computer mouse brand now, straight up giving them away, for under $3 a piece.

I got one and well pleasantly surprised, especially for the price. It fits perfectly in the hand, decent rubber, weighs nothing, clicks very silently. The scroll wheel is where you can feel some of the cost cutting, it’s pretty wonky, but good enough.

Classic cheap thin long cable, you better like 1600 DPI, cause there’s no button to change that. Sensor is the usual red light, but works on all surfaces, bedsheets included. Gliders are small and not around the sensor, but at this weight, that makes next to no difference.

Decent 8/10 option

So far, I totally approve of Nifelvind. Currently listening to Under Bergets Rot. What an absolute banger! <3

But now, my bed is calling.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I usually don’t listen to metal where the singers scream. There are only very, very few bands where I find that actually pleasing.

Two decades ago or so, we young supervisors compiled ourselves a cassette for our forest recreation week. One of us had an old ruggedly built radio with a cassette deck powered by a bunch of large Baby (?) batteries. One side had “working music” which we played back while working in the evenings and night, e.g. gathering firewood in a handtruck for the campfire and things like that.

I used something by either Finntroll or Turmion Kätilöt for the “wakeup music” side in the morning. The kids slept at home, but there were always some supervisors sleeping at the camp. The SÜT, the Standard-Übernachtungsteam, consisted of mostly young folks, about sixteen to early twenties. It was completed by wiser people in their fourties. Each morning, metal blasted through the dining tent that we converted into a sleeping tent. :-) Good times!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! Turns out there’s a reason I didn’t know this album. :-D

I also just noticed that I have a lot to catch up on. :-O Haven’t listened to anything of the last three albums. Boy, time flies! Ur Jordens Djup from 2007 is the last thing in my collection. How on earth…!?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I gotta re-watch that movie. Loved it back then. 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Huh, didn’t expect that. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I actually didn’t know that and just listened to it. There are a few nice songs, but in general, it’s too boring to me. I’m missing the rock and metal elements for sure. Some of the calm songs might work to relax in a sauna or so. But I find the “wind noise” rather annoying.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I take it you also know their acoustic album “Visor om Slutet”? I love that one. 😍

A outra ideia é fazer um apoia-se relacionado a uma nova edição das minhas zines…

https://desenho.lugaralgum.com

Falhei miseravelmente ano passado em fazer uma nova edição pra PyBR em São Paulo.

Para conseguir pagar a minha viagem pra #PythonBrasil este ano (sendo que eu mal tou conseguindo pagar as minhas contas 😭 ) eu vou tentar vender mais canecas dessas aqui: https://umapenca.com/villares/caneca/l-system-arbusto-286376.html

Fazendo aqui perto de casa eu consigo um preço bem melhor, dá pra vender a caneca por R$80 e ainda ter uma boa margem.

Também tou querendo fazer bottons, que daria pra vender mais baratinho, tipo R$10. Mas tou muito em dúvida sobre quais desenhos as pessoas vão querer…

• “Python é para artistas também” https://umapenca.com/villares/bottons/python-is-for-artists-too-299976.html
  
• Algum desenho meu?

Yesterday, my mate and I left the house at 10 in the morning around 15 or 16°C. There was a steady wind blowing, the sun came and went every two minutes. The clouds looked really nice. Temperatures peaked at 21°C I reckon. Certainly great t-shirt weather. It was supposed to slightly rain at some point in the morning, but all we got was less than two hand full of drops and later the tiniest amount of drizzle for not even half a minute. So, nothing.

The weathermen also called for a cloudy arvo and partially sunny evening. The forecast must have scared off people right away, because there was noone around. We saw very dark clouds in the distance and there was certainly rain in the town. But out in nature, just a constant alternation between the sun and clouds.

Just before noon, we arrived at the bakery two villages over and got four fire brezels (with pepper, extremely tasty, but the fingers are an oily mess after that) and two nut sticky buns for provisions. This is where the small bird (19-23) was giving us a show.

It’s so dry, the landscape looks already like autumn for several weeks. Sooo many orange and brown leaves on the ground, it’s crazy. I hope we still get a real autumn and head not straight from summer into winter. Last weekend was still an awful 37°C.

This time, we paid the small entrence fee to walk around inside the ruin of Hohenrechberg Castle. The red sandstone looks super sick. I really dig it. It’s actually purplish at parts, no kidding. Absolutely unreal! At least for me, I normally only see the beige sandstone around here.

Right when we went down the castle ditch, both camera batteries were completely drained after just 880 photos in total. What a bummer. I saw a guy with a leather glove coming out of a door and immediately followed him to the aviary in the hopes of a show or something. That flight cage wasn’t there last time I visited the ruin. And we were lucky, the falconer fed his harris’ hawk and explained us along the way. Other families came and went, but we talked to him for at least 20 minutes. Super interesting. I think that was easily the best part.

At exactly 19 o’clock I unlocked the front door. Our feet were done. It was an amazing nine hours hike. :-)

The gallery is a tiny bit larger than usual, enjoy: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-die-burgruine-hohenrechberg-2026-08-22/

@arne@uplegger.eu Wohl bekomms!

@arne@uplegger.eu Auweia, was ein absoluter Saftladen. Unfassbar.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mit so Betrugsvorwürfen oder ähnlichem ist man hier in Pommern ungewöhnlich schnell. Wie vor ca. 11 Jahren bei dem Skandal mit der Fußmatte: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldDwpOKWZNQ

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Wurde dann doch noch ein wenig anstrengend gegen Ende hin. Für mal so zwischendurch geht’s. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fingers crossed!

At 8 o’clock, we had chilly 10°C. My mate and I dashed up our backyard mountain in just a tad under an hour. And that wasn’t the direct way. Our jumpers came off quick. It was really nice, because the sun was already warming and lighting up the landscape and everbody else still asleep. We had everything to our own.

Shortly after we were atop, the first two yoga women showed up with their mats. When we decended, a bunch more were on the way up. And then came the families with dogs and kids. Very glad to have missed all this hustle and bustle.

Now, I’m really tired. But it’s a great feeling of exhaustion. Two and a half hours later, we’re at 17°C. It’s supposed to hit an acceptable 23°C later on.

Unfortunately, no pics. I learned that charging via the docking station when the computer is turned off doesn’t do shit at all. Oh well.

@arne@uplegger.eu @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Je öfter man die hört, desto besser werden’se. 🤣 Passt perfekt in den Zeitgeist, dieses Chaos. (Pardon, „Mikrotonalität“.)

Und handwerklich echt beeindruckend.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, no, I haven’t really played anything in a couple of months. 😢

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But I wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. 😭

Finalmente entendi o que era uma misteriosa e enorme linha vermelha luminosa na paisagem noturna da cidade, vista da minha janela!

Nesta foto tosca abaixo não fica visível o alto contraste e intensidade da linha, que na realidade, me lembra um sabre de luz vermelho, muito marcado.

A linha distante e imensa que não parecia “encaixar” nas fachadas dos prédios próximos… mas descobri: É um guindaste de obra gigantesco!

Vi esses dias um guindaste com uma linha vermelha iluminada perto da Av. Paulista e aí que caiu a ficha.

For me, the two most “magical” things about np.arrays are:

• Vectorized/broadcast operations, like multiplying a matrix and a scalar value & adding or subtracting two vectors or two matrices - but also any vectorized function;
  
• Masking & array indexing, being able to use arrays to select positions on other arrays;
  
• Bonus-third-thing: multi-dimensional arrays in general are quite magical too, if you add slicing to it, good lord, it can be quite daunting.

@jastas@twtpub.com Out of curiosity, was it hard to figure that out, or just familiarity with the app? 🤔

@jastas@twtpub.com That’s me! 👋 Haha 😆 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🙌

@fossham@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌

@smmbear@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌 Just in case you are not ware a) spam is not really tolerated by this community and b) doesn’t work anyway, you’ll just be ignored, and there are exactly zero ways to promote spam or advertise on this social system – on purpose.

I have to say. I’m really very disappointed in Microsoft. Not only did they buy out Minecraft the game, but they basically ruined it for every privacy conscious family, parents and their kids, who can no longer play the game without giving away personal identifiable information (PII) on my children that Microsoft have zero rights to. 🤦‍♂️ – Honestly… Fuck you Microsoft.

It’s the little things that make me happy these days. Like adding a function to search for text with various encodings to my hex editor. All neatly organized in the menu and with accelerators.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net That set is the set of users that actually interact with one another. The “Twtxt” feed set is a bit larger, but mostly just “walls of posts” and little to no inteaction. So yeah, the real community is quite small sadly 😅

Just saw it happen on Mastodon, so I think that scrolling is simply broken in Firefox. ☠️

FTR, also happens with Openbox on X11 and with labwc on Wayland, so this isn’t related to my custom X11 window manager.

Oh god … this appears to be related to the input device? Using the scrollbar is fine but using the mouse wheel is not? https://movq.de/v/66db24e1ee/vid-1787378419.mp4

Emptied the CSS, removed the <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">, now it’s just plain HTML and it still happens.

There is this extremely annoying issue with my website:

https://movq.de/v/4acced3c8e/scroll.mp4

Notice how I’m scrolling, then switching to another tab, switching back, and then the scrolling position is different?

What the hell could cause this? It’s not always like this and I have only seen it in Firefox so far (but I very rarely use Chromium anyway), and this really happens a lot on my site but not on others.

Any ideas? Did I screw up the CSS somehow? 🤔

“Arguably the highest-profile contract cancellation for Flock came when the Los Angeles Police Department decided to non-renew its years-long contract with the company, a decision motivated by a searing internal audit of the company’s technology. The internal report found that, in just two months, Flock’s ALPRs contributed to 161 false stolen-vehicle alerts, resulting in a false-positive rate of 32.3 percent.”

Real tired of doing these, but here’s another Android developers vs Google update, this time there’s both good and bad news.

The good:
-Users will be able to enable “sideloading” for all current and future devices, attached to their Google account, rather than having to undergo the tedious 24 hour wait including process, on each device.

-Rather than these changes to “sideloading” and “advanced workflows” being implemented at random different dates, in different countries, we’ll all get them come 2027.

The bad:
As GrapheneOS developers recently mentioned “Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It’s completely ridiculous and they’ve gradually become very slow at handling requests. They’re in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.”
