🕓 Hi, the current time is about four o’ clock in the afternoon 🌅.

Searching the web a bit brings up lots of threads where people hate WebP. The problem being that browsers support WebP but other programs tend to be problematic … ? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, no idea why that is. 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! 🌇

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org where he was is fog. That’s on the mountains.

We got a very colorful sunset today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-12-09/

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! And foggy as heck, very beautiful! Or is this smog?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The terminal colors change quite drastically, but not the photo. Interesting.

Conheço alguém que use os serviços da Infomaniak? Que tal a experiência?

Use more WebP, I guess.

@prologic@twtxt.net That looks super humid. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net who is that handsome man?! Looking good! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net

@bender@twtxt.net No no we did!!! Just the photos are rubbish 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I like this one. Haven’t been to the Golden Bridge yet? Make sure you do!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh you are a brilliant man 🙌

@prologic@twtxt.net Here you go:

(LTT = “Linus Tech Tips”, that’s the host.)

LTT: There was a recent thing from a major tech company, where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote – and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here that was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity, because–

Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset. At that point, that’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.

LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?

Torvalds: No.

LTT: Oh. Uh, he was a prominent figure in the, uh, improved efficiency of the US government recently.

Torvalds: Oh. Apparently I was spot on.

Went to Ba Na Hills today, but honestly it was so cold and misery i couldn’t take very good photos 🤣 Here’s a few shots i managed!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de BahahahGG 🤣🤣🤣

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net do you know what I also find equally just as stupid and dumb is having to upgrade the software license on something just to be able to get OIDC or OAuth support ffs 🤦‍♂️

can somebody please transcribe what he said and post it here? 🙏 I think it’s too good just to waste in a video it needs to be preserved. 🤣

Fuck me, soooooooo beautiful! Awwww! :‘-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYfKgi133qo

This focuses more on the landscape part, other episodes also have amazing interactions with the locals. I cannot recommend the Itchy Boots channel enough. It’s in my top three channels of all time I believe. I hardly get the travel bug, but this has now changed. Watching Noraly’s videos brings me great joy. It also shows humanity is not lost, contrary to what one might think in this crazy world. :-)

Caution, this channel gets very addictive!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :‘-D

In case you haven’t seen it yet:

Linus Torvalds about SLOC as a measurement of productivity. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon you’re right. There cannot be any other explanation.

Haha, Amazon is full of bad reviews because the pin order doesn’t match … 🤦🤦🤦

Tenho uns amigos que foram engolidos pelo TikTok, de vez em quando eles me mandam vídeos que acham que eu vou gostar e parece que não dá pra acessar sem logar na plataforma (não quero logar)…

Consigo baixar os vídeos usando https://urlebird.com/snap/

Às vezes tem algo que interessa.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org My theory is that these people simply don’t do “code archeology”. When something breaks, they don’t reach for git log. They simply don’t experience the pain that comes with bad commits / commit messages.

Or is that different in your company? 😅

But it is weird that none of the slot plates (that I can find) appear to have the correct pin order. 🤔

The two mainboards I have here use this order:

2468x
13579

But the slot plates use this:

12345
6789x

I tripped over this at first and wondered why it didn’t work.

Has this changed recently or what? 🥴

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, shit, you might be right. You can even buy these slot plates on Amazon. I didn’t even think to check Amazon, I went straight to eBay and tried to find it there, because I thought “it’s so old, nobody is going to use that anymore, I need to buy second-hand”. 🤦🤦🤦

It really shows that I built my last PC so long ago … I know next to nothing about current hardware. 😢

Need to fix:

  -media and links

We’ll all my posts are making it to the “Fediverse” https://bridge.twtxt.net/users/c350a5e5fb9d9457

@bender@twtxt.net i’m just pointing out that it’s one of those fundamental RS 232 standards that will never die 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net why do you think that’s the case?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think even modern PC still come with serial ports they just don’t wire them up anymore right? They’re still there in the board itself, though just unwired.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same. :‘-( I just don’t get how people do code archeology with all their shit messages and huge commits changing a gazillion of different things. I always try to lead by setting good examples, but nofuckingbody is picking up on that. At all. Even when bringing this up every now and then.

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, you can associate your identity to the apex domain with a bit of Webfinger wizardry, but I don’t. Mine are always attached to the sub-domains. I find it easier to migrate between instances that way without risking borking federation.

Inacreditável! Roubaram obras do Matisse (da serie Jazz) e do Portinari (a confirmar) esta manhã de uma exposição muito legal que estava rolando aqui na Biblioteca Mario de Andrade em #SãoPaulo, eu não estou acreditando!

Currently watching Stranger Things and all I can think of is this:

@prologic@twtxt.net Bwahahaha! I tried to establish some form of “convention” for commit messages at work (not exactly what you linked to, though), but it’s a lost cause. 😂 Nobody is following any of that. Nobody wants to invest time in good commit messages. People just want to get stuff done.

I’m just glad that 80% are at least somewhat useful – instead of “wip” or “shit i screwed up”.

My current PC is from 2013, so I never even bothered to check, but as it turns out: My motherboard still has a serial port. 🤯 I thought these had long died out by then. To be honest, I didn’t have the need for one, either, not until recently … So I completely lost track if PCs have these things or not.

All I needed was one of those slot-cable-thingies. (And if the order of pins is correct, then it actually works. 🤦)

https://movq.de/v/89a67cf40f/slot.jpg

Cool! One less USB device. 😃

This is an example of the kind of garbage release notes from this conventional commit autogenerated crap 🤣

This ☝️ I proxy my SSH traffic and it requires a valid account check to occur.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I couldn’t agree more! I think good commit messages are very useful, however, and I’d much prefer the conventional mood style for Commit messages, but rather prefer telling a story rather than this weird syntax all over the shop!

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I don’t like them either.

As for changelogs, I prefer hand-written ones over something automatically cobbled together. Typically, they are just utter rubbish in my experience.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe that is helpful to you: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt2html/issues/12#issuecomment-20792

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwww, I wanna run my hands through this fur so badly! :-)

I kind of hate conventional commit messages: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary

but I am loving reading RFC 2119: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net No beak, no feathers, … looks suspicious! That’s probably a weird mammal!!1! 😅🤣

Confirmed it’s called Tao Tao 🤣

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Aren’t yhere onlu 12 puzzles this year? 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What about a drop bear? 🧐🤣😆

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Are you using your Gitea username instead of got@ ? Are you forwarding auth?

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, to be fair, if you show me any picture of a penguin (or in fact any bird), I’ll go “awwwwwww 😍” for a little while. 😅

My generous friend @lr once gave me “Andrew Glassner’s Notebook” and some other of Glassner’s books… https://glassner.com/homepage/books/non-fiction-gallery/ so much fun!

#ComputerGraphics #AndrewGlassner

@bender@twtxt.net are you able to send me a video recording of how that sounds because I don’t think that that’s what they called it at the breakfast? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net dad told me the name is Tao Tau.

It was though year. I finished my PhD, yay! Now, I’m on vacation from my main job, as educator at Sesc, and yesterday I wound down some last freelance work obligations. I really need a break.

I want to rest, make some “prints” of my drawings for friends, go to my local museums and have coffee/tea with friends, and that’s it!

Today we celebrate 18 years of our local #Python users group, #GruPySP, and I’m going to meet friends from #GaroaHackerClube, that’s a great start :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Four people! Exactly my thoughts, bender, but super cute. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de well I’ve got several minutes of at least three people’s attention now didn’t it? 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net And I think that plan worked! 😂

@bender@twtxt.net actually I think it’s a little more nuance than that because for example with salty chat, we have support for DNS based delegation via SRV records and your identity is associated with your Apex Dom name and of course the keys.

I actually don’t understand why Federation and activity pub is so goddamn hard to migrate from one instance to another 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Same. I think i might have played with it at some point!

@bender@twtxt.net ha ha it started the V something and I don’t understand how to reproduce Vietnamese name 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net my translator says conversations. An Jabber Droid app comes to mind.

@prologic@twtxt.net he uses subdomains. Which do you think the identity be associated with? (hint, “it is not so hard!”).

@prologic@twtxt.net well then, and now we will never freaking know because you have the memory of a damn fly. Thank you so much! 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe what app is that?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com does that mean your identity gets associated with your Apex domain or your sub domain?

it’s not an apple and it’s not a guava

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 🤣

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Yes! 🙌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de how long do they need to read the scale? LOL. The penguin stayed put at least twice, no issues. I think the creator wanted some Internet points out of that video. 😂

That would be my dream job: Weighing penguins. 😍

https://i.imgur.com/Wwyo7En.mp4

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Reminds me of an apple, too. :-)

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe yeah, that’s the only reason why I use sub-domains when trying anything federated (I believe Matrix has the same problem), in case things didn’t go as planned I can just migrate and take it down.

@prologic@twtxt.net that some kind of apple native to the area. Mum grows a tree of it, I will ask her for the Vietnamese name.

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe that has to be one of my stupid designs of activity pub 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net looks like a tiny green apple to me 😅 … but this site says maybe a Guava

I don’t know what this fruit is called! The waiter at breakfast told me the Vietnamese name but I’ve since forgotten 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup did yjay some weeks ago 👌

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I’ve been reading through the documentation last night and it felt overwhelming for a minute… +1 point goes to GTS’s docs. but hey, I’ll be taking the easy route: podman-compose up -d they provide both a container image and an example compose file in a separate git repo but I’m wondering why that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs, (unless it is and I haven’t seen it yet)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Nice to see someone else also participating! 🥳

(Btw, they don’t want us to share our inputs: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/wiki/faqs/copyright/inputs/ Yeah, it’s a bit annoying. I also have to do quite a bit of filtering on my repo …)

I meant were. You get the idea.

Also, I just realized that simple links like that turn into inline images on twtxt.net. Nice! 🥳

FWIW, day 03 and day 04 where solved on SuSE Linux 6.4:

Performance really is an issue. Anything is fast on a modern machine with modern Python. But that old stuff, oof, it takes a while … 😅

Should have used C or Java. 🤪 Well, maybe I do have to fall back on that for later puzzles. We’ll see.

@bender@twtxt.net Nothing will make me use Discord, though. 😅 Not voluntarily.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I bet. I wouldn’t be surprised if it more popular in some Discord servers too. I mean, the event itself is quite obscure, so… yeah.

Most of the Advent of Code action happens on the Fediverse, I’m afraid:

https://tilde.zone/@movq/115595022987289988

There’s just way more people over there who participate. 🥴

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com good luck with that! Their installation requirements, and install document in general give me headache. While on the contemplating topic, I too am contemplating shutting down my ActivityPub altogether. No GoToSocial, no nothing. I am mostly a lurker, so will not miss it much.

I’m contemplating the idea of switching my activity pub instance from Gootosocial to a Pleroma one. While GTS is kinda cute (lightweight and easy to manage) of a software, the inability to fetch/scroll through people’s past toots when visiting a profile or having access to a federated timeline and a proper search functionality …etc felt like handicap for the past N months.

Queria postar algo positivo sobre #SãoPaulo (vou ainda pensar em algo) mas no momento só consigo pensar na deprimente decoração de Natal de extremo mau gosto que a prefeitura espalhou pela cidade, e deve ter custado uma nota.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I like the sounds of this technique a lot redirecting these AI crawling assholes to multi gigabyte files! The only concern I have is how do you do it in such a way that you don’t end up destroying your own ISP speed test servers?

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com So you’re found for Javascript eh? 🧐

@kiwu@twtxt.net Not sure if you can find a second hand Canon G7X for cheap (it doesn’t have to be a Mark II or Mark III), you might love it. But watch a couple of reviews just to make sure it is/does what you need it for.

@prologic@twtxt.net I couldn’t find the exact blog post from before, one that used redirection directives in its nginx config. but I found [this one ](https://melkat.blog/p/unsafe-pricing#:~:text=Something%20else%20I’ve%20been%20doing%20this%20year,%20fine.) mentioning a similar process but done differently.
