It comes across as the beginning of a ācorporate sell outā. Also, links to X, and Threads, but the Fediverse link doesnāt work. Really? Overall, it doesnāt seem right (at least to me). Oh, also Meta on that list: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2024/09/24/launch/. Nope. Pass.
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt What do you think of when you say ādecentralizedā?
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt salty.im needs a lot more work š¤it is however designed to be 1000% decentralized š

I am reminded of this when I look at entire forks of vscode just to add a LLM code completion assistant.

Open(ā¦)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, thatās just a general SQLite thing: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/issues/102 But, mkdir -p $dir

Iāve always liked this track, but ~30 years ago I didnāt have good headphones. Now I do and only now do I realize how ādenseā the atmosphere of this track is. š³ Guess my speakers back then simply didnāt render most of the bass ā¦ š¤¦
@bender@twtxt.net Yep, certainly not a larger city, just a ~20k town.
@xuu pretty interesting. The client is pretty polished for an open source app.
@thecanine@twtxt.net Woof-woof! If itās already perfect, no need to disimprove. :-)

Awesome, āunable to open database file: out of memory (14)ā actually means that the SQLite file cannot be created, because the parent directory does not exist. Bonus points for Open(ā¦)

Yeah.. it is very similar to salty.im a smp is a relay queue for messages. You can self host one if you choose. They also have something called xftp for data storage and device state transfer. You can also self host one.

@bender@twtxt.net As for stability, yes. As for āeasy to understandā: Probably depends on how well you hide things like lists or hash maps behind library functions. š„“
@xuu Yes, of course. This has been blown out of proportion anyway. All I originally wanted to say is that the b2sum
program isnāt very widely available.
It would help to know how many different clients there actually are. I suspect that number is very close to 3.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de woot! C should run pretty much everywhere, and for a long period of time. Long live C!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org forgot to add that this:
people can put red ribbons on their fruit trees to signal that they are free to use for everyone.

@quark@ferengi.one This message of yours was another reason for writing 2hex

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, thank you for explaining the process so conscientiously. If I ever come across an apple tree, I now know (or have the text to read and follow) how to make some mean apple sauce. I can tell, though, without a doubt, nothing I can buy off the shelves here would even get close.
Same! Great joke!
@bender@twtxt.net Haha, the easter bunny brought me a Bad Gateway.
@bender@twtxt.net Over here, people can put red ribbons on their fruit trees to signal that they are free to use for everyone. Thatās an effort to minimize the giant food waste. Meadow orchard owners who do not have the time or energy anymore to harvest themselves (I reckon a lot of them are of age nowadays), can ensure that the tasty things do not simply rot away. Also, the town hangs those ribbons on trees on municipal properties.
They introduced these ribbons a few years back. Itās a really cool system. The colors of the ribbons vary from town to town. It seems most actually use yellow ribbons. The rules are to be respectful, only take what you really need (common household amounts) and be careful not to break branches, not to trample down higher grass, watch out for pants and animals, etc. Sometimes, a tree owner only grants access to a few trees. So, youāre only allowed to take from the explicitly marked ones. I mean, common sense really, donāt be an asshole. :-)
We just pick up what has fallen down. Youāre also allowed to pick directly from the tree, but the apples on the ground are already fully ripe. Or bad, but you can typically distinguish between the two rather easily. The apples that fall down early are usually full of worms. Later on, itās the ripe ones. Yeah, if a ripe one lands in a patch of spoiled ones, itās also going bad fairly quickly. So, it pays off to visit regularly and check.
Not all apples are equal, though. Itās important to check the variety before gathering them. Cider apples are worthless to us. They just taste awful. Typically, these are the tiny ones, but there are also some tiny ones which are actually very delicious. So, a taste test is mandatory.
Then for apple sauce we just wash off the occasional dirt on the apples at home. Typically, you can get rid of the worst already by wiping it on the grass when picking. We simply cut them in quarters, bigger apples also in eights. Bad spots and the cores are removed. To avoid oxidation, we throw them in a bowl of water with citric acid. Once that bowl is full, we transfer them into a big pot. Rinse and repeat.
The pot has some water in it, so the apples do not scorch. Shortly before we finish cutting the apples, the stove is heated. Then, we just let the whole mass heat up. Donāt forget to stir every now and then. The longer it simmers, the easier it gets to actually stir the now softer mass. It also sinks down a bit. You can also use a potato masher to help get some sort of a pulp.
When the pulp is fairly soft itās pressed through a strainer. People here call the food mill āFlotte Lotteā (quick Charlotte) after a brand name. We use the tiniest sieve with 1mm holes. Unfortunately, thereās no smaller one. But it gets 99.99% of the junk out, skin, missed seeds, all the coarse stuff. After each load the food mill has to be cleared from pomance, so it doesnāt plug up all the holes or worse, the coarse crap is pressed through.
For some strange reason we have not figured out, we got quite a bunch of skin pieces in the apple sauce on Wednesday. Somehow they managed to get through. Very strange, this has never happened before. To filter them out, we just passed the whole thing through the Flotte Lotte a second time.
Around 10% sugar by weight is added to help preservation. A pinch of cinnamon and then itās basically ready when mixed up properly.
Fill the apple sauce is in jars and make sure to leave enough space for some expansion when getting cooked in a moment. Wipe any spilled sauce form the glas rims, close the lids with a rubber seal and clamp āem shut. The jars are placed in a big pot or āEinkochautomatā (translates roughly to preserving machine). Itās a large pot that is electrically heated and automatically maintains the temperature using a thermostat. The water level has to be about 2/3 of the top layer of the jars (they can be stacked). Any higher is unnecessary and just wastes water. The jars get cooked for half an hour at 90Ā°C. Then, they can be lifted out with a pairs of jar tongs. After cooling down, the clamps are removed. If a jar hasnāt sealed properly, you notice it right away.
The last thing is to label and store them in the cellar or somewhere.
Eventually, pull on the rubber sealās tab to open a jar, put the apple sauce on a waffle or something else and enjoy the blast of taste in your mouth. :-)

āIf you are not using AI everyday, youāre working too muchā, and ācompletely worth it [referring to the use of ChatGPT], no question. Same work output, in less of my time. More breaks for me.ā

āYou have reached a non-working number at UPS [ā¦]ā says the recording. If it is a non-working number, it wouldnāt even ring, right?
