Anyone around is thinking, or planning, to play “Path of the Exile II”?
I admit that I only follow the groff mailing list to get the occasional email from Doug McIlroy in my mailbox: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2024-12/msg00025.html
The beach itself is very nicely maintained on a daily basis however, unfortunately the sea is full of plastic and rubbish 😢
I had to go to the office today and both train rides worked out just fine. Surprising!
End of year holidays are a mix of sadness and happiness for me. I can’t help but remembering those who are gone, with which I spent so many good times. A part of me wants to feel happy, and celebrate another completed round around the Sun, while the other feels sad because of those I will never see again.

That’s very interesting. This dude runs everything at this airport. https://youtu.be/c1wkx1V1qHY
We had 5cm snow at our scout yard at 10 o’clock. But it was nearly fully gone when we called it quits after sunset.
In May we charred cloth to be used as tinder. A fire steel and some wood shavings lit the fire in under a minute. Maybe half. That was good fun. I reckon I have to replenish the charred cloth soon, though. It’s crazy how great that works. I’m absolutely amazed.
We cut back the thorny brushes for hours and eventually winched out some heavy fallen trees. That was really cool to see this powerful winch in action. Absolutely effortless. It was also a complete one man show. We couldn’t do anything and just watch. There is no chance that we could have moved the tree trunks up the steep hill with just man power. Well, a few dozen people might have made it with great struggle.
Next time we have to cut them into smaller pieces and split them into firewood or keep some for contruction. I will see whether I can safe some to cut some boards from. A sawmill would be really cool to have. :-)
This video is quite lengthy (almost 3.5 hours long), but really worth watching.

This pod is now using the index for archive twts instead of the old (naive) disk-based index with that results in millions of files over a long time 🤣
The Australia Labor government, Albanese and the honourable Michelle Rowland federal member for parliament and communications minster are fucking clowns. It’s stupid shit like this that’s the real problem with “big tech” social media platforms. These morons just simply don’t understand basic economics and basic business.
Why would a company like Meta, X and TikTok give up a large multi-billion dollar segment of the market. That is, young children from the ages of ~3 to 16 (yes kids these days can use a computer or device from a pretty young age!)
The whole masquerade of “online saftey” and the new Australia legislation of the Online Safety Act 2021 is complete and utter bullshit.
You wanna fix this whole cybercrime and cyber bullying that goes on (which btw if you understood how these fucking platforms worked in the first place, you’d realise drives up engagement on the platforms by abusing human emotional and psychological weakness), then ban and make illegal with multi-Billion dollar fines the following:
- Profiting off data collected by users on your platform(s)
- Categorizing users on your platform and performing A/B tests
- Targeting users (of any age) for advertising
In fact just ban targeted advertising period.
@prologic@twtxt.net, are you running Ollama on your Mac Studio? How much RAM does it have? How does it performs with 7b, and 13b models?

Making some amateur radio experiments!
This morning (and a little bit of the afternoon) the idea of having a full referenced archive of twtxts on the web has consumed me a bit. I am talking about something similar to the email archives one see online, but for twtxts, and a more personal level. Such archive would be available, even if the involved feeds are long gone, because feeds will be treated as received emails.
This is beautiful and made my day
@eapl.me@eapl.me Also welcome back 🤗
I was looking for a sling pack to carry my geeky items and I found one: RUSH® MOAB™ 8 Sling Pack 13L
@wbknl@twtxt.net i’m currently working on my cyberpunk novella: W3bK3rN3l’s Radio Outpost
In the neon haze of a crumbling world, where the sky pulsed with the electric glow of a million flickering screens, Dmitri (aka dMHz) stood sentinel over the void. The echoes of the Russian military compound he once called home lingered like ghosts in his mind—flashes of chaos, the roar of an explosion that shattered the air and his life, propelling him into the cold embrace of space aboard a battered Gemini capsule.
I installed GrapheneOS for the first time on Wednesday last week on a used Pixel 7a, and I’m impressed. Installation was almost seamless, and I was able to do it from another Android phone. I’ve run into very few wrinkles, even using Google’s proprietary apps with GrapheneOS’s “sandboxed” version of Google Play Services. The main problems I’ve noticed: I can’t cast, and Google Timeline doesn’t seem to work (though I imagine the intersection between people keen to use GrapheneOS and keen to have Google log their location history is pretty small).
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.

Inversion by Aric McBay was another random library pick. Like The Fall of Io, it’s the most recent in a series, though I think this series is pretty loosely connected. In contrast, the villain in this book is simple and cartoonishly evil. The book presents a design for utopia which was interesting but a little cloying. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to want to live there, but I don’t think I do. I enjoyed the book as easy reading, and might try the others in the series some time. (4/4)
I read Starter Villain by John Scalzi. Enjoyable, like his other books that I’ve read. Somewhat sillier. (¾)
I’m enjoying Wesley Chu’s Tao and Io series. Spies, action, ancient aliens. Some funny parts, some interesting world-building parts, some action-filled parts. I picked up The Fall of Io at random from a library a few weeks ago, and it turned out to be the last in a series of six (technically two series), so after finishing that I read the first and am partway through the second. Usually I try to read series in order, but this way is interesting. One thing I liked about The Fall of Io was that it it followed many points of view with somewhat conflicting interests, some more evil than others, and I felt sympathy for most of them. (I was kind of hoping it would be about Jupiter’s moon Io, but it wasn’t, but I’m satisfied with what I ended up with.) (2/4)
The call is on! Come join us!
The real crux of the matter is this whole moving feeds around to different uri(s). This makes things hard. I think it’s worth revisiting @anth@a.9srv.net ’s UUID idea for its merits.

Going through some old CDs.
Jam & Spoon - Angel (DJ Misjah Remix)
I’ve always liked this track, but ~30 years ago I didn’t have good headphones. Now I do and only now do I realize how “dense” the atmosphere of this track is. 😳 Guess my speakers back then simply didn’t render most of the bass … 🤦
What’s going on with the timestamps on HackerNews articles? 🤔 A lot of them are off: https://movq.de/v/1341904fa5/s.png
TWO HOURS wasted today trying to figure out why an image wasn’t loading on some web page and what I was doing wrong… when the issue is the friggin’ DSL router is injecting headers into http (non-https) pages. GAH! I’m ready to throw the thing. I’ve never been so mad at CPE. 🤬
Reading about browser security measures and getting sad we don’t live in a world where cross-site scripting is a feature instead of a bug.
