This is beautiful and made my day

I built another small shelf for the drill press. I upcycled the wooden sticks from New Year rockets that littered the neighborhood. I really love the rustic look of it: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/tischbohrmaschinenregal/

When I glued the shelf between the posts of the stand, I tightened the long clamp too hard, ripping the back panel and shelf board apart. So, I had to reglue them. :-)

Trump Wins US Presidency For Second Time
Major media outlets are beginning to declare former President Trump the winner of the 2024 presidential election. As with previous election announcements on Slashdot, this is your chance to talk about it and what it means for the future of our nation.

@wbknl@twtxt.net Btw you don’t need to mention yourself when composing a new Twt (I think maybe you’re doing it from your profile view?) Just expand the box at the top of the Timeline or Discover views.

Went on a really cool walk today after the sun came out this arvo. Just 11°C and a fair bit of wind required a scarf and beanie. I love the autumn colors a lot and never tire of looking at them.

On the summit the view was absolutely terrible, because there were super low hanging clouds. But it still looked fairly spectacular. Very surreal, I could not make out the edge of the Swabian Alb. The haze just blended with the rest of the sky. Towards the sun it was just one giant white wall after half a kilometer or so. That doesn’t happen all that often here.

After dusk I saw five deer on a meadow. Well their outlines against the remaining backlit sky.

I also tried to do a little stacked thingy, not too happy with it:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’ll be happy to wait until the show finishes. Just get me off this planet! 😂 https://movq.de/v/96d00c53b5/borg.png

@prologic@twtxt.net even here, in this Yarn, I click “Edit” on my message, or “Reply” on yours, I am still getting this:

@asquare@asquare.srht.site As far as jenny is concerned, it’ll create a thread. 😅 https://movq.de/v/207254756a/s.png

I’m a bit late to game this time, but I just went through my photos from last week. Leaves are definitely changing colors. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-10-24/

I attempted to build a small try-square, but my metal working skills totally suck. I tried to flatten the metal blade with a file, but I didn’t reach my own goal. It’s not perfectly straight. The square is almost 90°, it shifted a wee bit when drilling the holes for the pins. Also, the blade is 0.1mm off of being parallel. I have to try again or simply just buy one.

Finally, a sunny day. I jumped at the opportunity and went for a quick evening stroll: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-10-09/

@bender@twtxt.net What don’t you like about all this? 🤔 i’m not entirely sure I know all of the folks behind this to be honest.

Time for the annual profile picture change. 😅

@quark@ferengi.one This message of yours was another reason for writing 2hex and 2bin. It made me realize my existing hex2bin script was buggy. So now I have that portable version in C which runs pretty much everywhere: https://movq.de/v/31843f7317/s.png 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, fancy!

Yesterday’s April weather offered nearly everything. Sun, rain, clouds, wind. Luckily, the rain wasn’t too bad, we precautionally brought our rain jackets and took cover under some trees for 5-10 minutes. From then on, it alternated mostly between sunny and cloudy. Perfect conditions for photography.

The 16°C felt pretty cold with all the wind. Especially at the summit for a late lunch. The clouds covered the sun for almost the entire time and the wind blew hard. Being sweaty from the way up didn’t help. The sun returned as soon as we packed up.

On the way home, it drizzled just a little bit, although the clouds were really dark. A nice surprise. All in all, we had a really nice hike. As a bonus, my mate established a new train ride record low to get home, despite all the Octoberfest crap going on right now.

From my 395 photos, I only kept 40: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-09-28/ In 18’s upper left corner you can see a black beetle similar to what I’ve seen earlier this week. The one that rolled over its side to change directions, this one didn’t, though.

The mushroom in 35 and 36 was enormous, easily 20 centimeters in diameter. We came across a few of them along our journey.

Here’s what I’ve got so far…

Someone recommended a nice (German) talk:

https://media.ccc.de/v/ds24-394-linux-hello-world-nur-mit-einem-hex-editor

Luckily, everything™ is easier™ on DOS with .COM files. A fun little time killer to make a HELLO.COM using only a hex editor, the Intel docs and the DOS interrupt list.

That ModR/M stuff is easy in the end, but it took me quite some time to understand it. 🥴

(I’m still new to DOS on this level and didn’t know that all segment registers are initialized to the same values, apparently, so copying CS to DS was not necessary. Too lazy to update the screenshot. File size shrinks by 4 bytes.)

I’m experimenting with SQLite and trees. It’s going good so far with only my own 439 messages long main feed from a few days ago in the cache. Fetching these 632 rows took 20ms:

SQL query to build up the conversation trees in the cache

Now comes the real tricky part, how do I exclude completely read threads?

So I whipped up a quick shell script to demonstrate what I mean by the increase in feed size on average as well as the expected increase in storage and retrieval requirements.

$ ./compare.sh
Original file size: 28145 bytes
Modified file size: 70672 bytes
Percentage increase in file size: 151.10%
...

@prologic@twtxt.net Correct. The plan is that operators have to manually trust a peer before it is used for fetching missing conversation roots from. Preview of the horrible UI:

Okay folks, I’ve spent all day on this today, and I think its in “good enough”™ shape to share:

Twtxt v2:

• Specification: https://docs.mills.io/uJXuisaYTRWYDrl8A2jADg?both
  
• implementation: https://gist.mills.io/prologic/afdec15443da4d7aa898f383f171ec1b
  

I finally decided to do a few experiments with yarnd to see how many things would break and how many assumptions there are around the idea of “Content Addressing”; here’s where I’m at so far:

• What breaks
  

Basically I’m at a point where spending time on this is going to provide very little value, there are assumptions made in the lextwt parser, assumptions made in yarnd, assumptions in the way storage is done and the way threading works and things are looked up. There are far reaching implications to changing the way Twts are identified here to be “location addressed” that I’m quite worried about the amount of effort would be required to change yarnd here.

I have just made yet another convoluted twtxt notifications script! Feeling like an old dog learning new tricks! 🤣

Really though I only managed to save a few GB, but it’s enough for now.

For those curious, the archive on this pod had reached around ~22GB in size. I had to suck it down to my more powerful Mac Studio to clean it up and remove a bunch of junk. Then copy all the data back. This is what my local network traffic looked like for the last few hours 😱

And they have arrived (well, they did around 3 hours ago, LOL). Buttery smooth, my 16 Pro (one with dark cover). It took a bit over an hour to transfer all my data.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hi. i have noticed sometimes when i hit the back button i lose all the surrounding layout and just have a list of twts.

Yesterday, both temperature and wind picked up. There was even wind in the night, which is rare over here. Today, we also got a lot of sunshine, around 22°C and heaps of wind. The leaves and twigs were blown at the house door, it reminded me of a snow drift, basically a leave bank. I should have taken a photo before I swept it, it looked quite bizarre.

But I photographed something else instead:

Possibly a large roof panel on a crane

My mate and I went out in the woods earlier and we came across 08 which broke off in roughly 6, 7 meters from 09. When it hit the ground, it made a 30 cm deep hole. Quite impressive. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-09-19/
