250.000 scrobbles!

How does my current, cumulative digital listening stats compare with the first ten years of it?

Well, Mindless Self Indulgence got more plays than +ko+ko+, Sieben got into my top 10 bands (Empyrium falling into 11th place).

In sum: almost nothing changed, the only “surprise” is Sieben getting more plays these last few years (there was a time it wasn’t even part of my Top 15).

Feel free to geek out around what I scrobble at https://www.last.fm/user/Mind_Booster

In-reply-to » So I was advised by the FTC to file a complaint with the Internet Crimes Complaints Centre (IC3) -- That is, the FBI. They have an online form that you can use, however it is clearly designed for US citizens, not designed for cross-country complaints such as from AU. Needless to say, I tried to speak with a lovely woman on the phone (who would not say here name, only her badge number: 9834) where we went through the form together. Managed to get to the 3rd page, at which point the "Address" had an asterisk next to it (*) -- I advise operator #9834 that I was not comfortable handing out a specific address, at which point she responded:

In-reply-to » (#szvqv6a) @bender @prologic I can reproduce this locally, too. But it doesn't matter if I follow the feed or not. With JS enabled, hitting "Reply" opens a textarea with @<url>. Submitting this writes @<domain url> instead of @<nick url> in the feed.

While I now have a somewhat working fix for it in yarnd (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/pulls/1232), I also have the feeling that I should fix literal formatting in lextwt as well. This also uncovered more bugs I believe: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/pulls/28

But then there is also the question why the textarea is populated with @<url> in the first place rather than @<nick url> or yarnd’s own @nick@domain/@nick syntax. It indeed has to do something with whether I follow the mentioned feed or not.

Anyway, something to investigate for future Lyse or maybe @prologic@twtxt.net and/or @xuu@txt.sour.is. G’night!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This time it works! (For the first time). Using mutt, yes, and the config is yours. I’ll contact you later, when I have more data. Some time needed to experiment. Thanks!

Righto, must be some caching thing that’s going on, too. Now, with JS enabled and a feed that I follow, hitting “Reply” actually automatically enters @nick@domain in the textarea. Submitting it correctly writes “@in the feed. Let's dig…

However, when I have JS disabled, “Reply” jumps to the top of the page, but the the textarea is at the bottom. So, after scrolling down, the textarea is not filled with anything. Which is expected I reckon. Entering @nick@domain or just @nick resolves to the correct @<nick url> in the feed.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So true! Either I’m hanging around with my direct teammates socializing in person in a meeting room or some other workmates are making so much noise in the open-plan office that I cannot concentrate at all. In any case, completely unproductive. :-D Luckily, I very rarely have to go to the office.

My hike today started off with a nice great spotted woodpecker right after the town sign. The -1°C didn’t feel all that cold in the sun. Even on the flat, I had to open my jacket with the sun on my back. The biotope got dug over, that’s now looking really sad. And they also fell a few large chestnuts. Surprisingly, there was actually snow on the mountain. Not much, maybe around three centimeters at most. It was melting and falling down the trees, which looked really cool. I enjoyed it a lot: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-02-04/

@f1ee6 Hello, for my part, I’m discovering Gopher :-). Really cool to give a little life to old computers. For the moment, I access Gopher from an old Mac G3/OS9, lynx on linux on an I3 laptop and for fun, Gopher from my old Palm PDA with Overbite. Lots of good things to all, friendship from France ;-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it. The beginning part about the history of life on Earth was fun to watch having just read Dawkin’s old book The Selfish Geene, and now I want to read more about archaea. The end of the talk about what might be going on on Mars made me a bit hopeful someone will find some good evidence.

In-reply-to » View from my window last evening:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The light pollution map reports red for my town. That’s fairly accurate, I’d say. The view from home is not all that great. Yeah, I can see Ursa Major and a bunch of other stars. Maybe even some satellites. But there’s definitely a sky glow at the horizon.

When I leave town, I can see a bit more. However, it doesn’t compare to the alps or even some rural parts in Australia. The latter was by far the craziest I’ve ever seen in my life. Looked like a space telescope photo in person. Soooooooooooooo many stars and the band of the milky way was easily visible to the naked eye. Up until then, I didn’t even know this was remotely possible down on earth. Absolutely stunning. :-)
