Thanks, @falsifian@www.falsifian.org! I’ll definitely start with the latter one then. Let’s see how far I make it. :-)
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Phew, okay. So, it took a few months to grow that big. I feared that it could have been just a week or so. Yeah, insulation always is a good idea.

@prologic@twtxt.net Holly, didn’t know bots and crawlers could do comedy now… they should’ve added “Dave Chappelle/69.420” to their UA.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m speculating, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s probably asking for your user password in order to access some user keyring (or whatever your OS uses to manage user secret credentials) used to safely store your passkeys related data in order to do its passkeys /ME doing air quotes Magic™ … you could try with a different password manager to avoid said scenario.
Also, passkeys UX sucks.

yes it works now :)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I don’t remember exactly. They might have been growing all winter. The trick is to have a badly insulated extension to the house.
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Hahaha, that’s sick, I love it! :-D I envy you a bit. On the other hand, I have to admit I’m glad that I don’t have to chisel down giant blocks of ice from the house.
@eapl.me@eapl.me I can do that as soon as I get back home. Also, just in case you’ve missed it, Choice 1 is actually 4 different variations.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am a big fan of “obvious” math facts that turn out to be wrong. If you want to understand how reusing space actually works, you are mostly stuck reading complexity theory papers right now. Ian wrote a good survey: https://iuuk.mff.cuni.cz/~iwmertz/papers/m23.reusing_space.pdf . It’s written for complexity theorists, but some of will make sense to programmers comfortable with math. Alternatively, I wrote an essay a few years ago explaining one technique, with (math-loving) programmers as the intended audience: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/ .
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Mate, what an amazing video, holy cow! :-D We only get complete jokes of icicles compared to what you had there ealier today. It’s a giant wall. For how many days did that grow on your roof?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Still melting! 
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Oh, that’s neat! Interesting how “obviously” isn’t all that obvious at all, even to the contrary. I reckon I have to read up on that subject on the weekend. :-)
I like how Ian’s and your photo complement each other, winter and summer join forces for something special. :-)
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Wooooaaaahhh! That is BY FAR the biggest icicle I’ve ever seen. Really cool! :-) How long did it take to melt in your sink? The video download is still dripping in, looking forward to that.

@thecanine@twtxt.net I agree!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know, I don’t see this happening all that often. Very rarely. The problem I encounter much more often is that tech folks are blindly adopting every new hype without thinking the slightest bit what the consequences might be.

I’m surprised, here you can’t find dial controls anymore. How old are your ovens? The last one my parents had was from the 90s.
I was amazed experimenting with different combinations, for instance instead of 100, using 60 for a minute, 90 for 1:30, and stupid stuff like heating with 11, 22, 55 seconds and so, to make it quicker to type any time.
among these options, 3

Something interesting to think about for twtxt, the microblogging for hackers and friends…
The biggest challenge of ActivityPub is that it’s too technical to easily explain to regular people. Nobody is interested in a jargon-laden diatribe about servers and federation. When simple questions have overly complex answers, people tend to switch off.

well, Gemini clients like Lagrange allow to show inline images when you click on an image link. Text based clients, like Amfora, usually allow to watch the image in another ‘window’.
For example here: gemini://text.eapl.mx/en-making-a-tic-tac-toe-variant and there https://text.eapl.mx/en-making-a-tic-tac-toe-variant
I agree that some topics require images to make it easier to explain.

NASA has a list of 10 rules for software development https://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/cosc345/resources/nasa-10-rules.htm
Yesterday I was doing a lot of research on how #hyperdrive and the #holepunch project work. Would it be possible to use it to make #twtxt an easier gateway for new users? Could we stop using web servers?
My conclusion: We would end up being a #nostr. On the one hand it would become more complex to use, it would force the user to have software installed, and on the other hand the community would need a central proxy to make the routes accessible via HTTP. In other words, it’s not a good idea.
However, it’s an AMAZING technology. I want to start playing with it.
What a cool feature! Looks like the project is coming along nicely

A #FluConf retrospective article is out, and interesting reading. If you just want a TLDR:
“if you appreciated FluConf you might consider donating to BigBlueButton, or FFmpeg, the Internet Archive, or one of countless other bit of critical infrastructure”
“I’d like to be able to post the call for proposals for FluConf2026 no later than early October”
“This first edition was scheduled to coincide with FOSDEM, but I think that point’s been made, and future editions could probably stand on their own merit at another time of year if there was some clear benefit.”
“If you’re interested in helping with anything like that, or if you have other ideas to share, then please do reach out via the Fediverse or the FluConf IRC channel”

Yeah, sounds like another hype train arriving at the station.
tt rewrite in Go and quickly implemented a stack widget for tview. The builtin Pages is similar but way too complicated for my use case. I would have to specify a mandatory name and some additional options for each page. Also, it allows me to randomly jump around between pages using names, but only gives me direct access the first, however, not the last page. Weird. I don't wanna remember names. All I really need is a classic stack. You open a new fullscreen dialog and maybe another one on top of that. Closing the upper most brings you back to the previous one and so on.
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I’ll let you know once it reaches a point where it might be barely usable by someone else than myself. There are long ways to go, though. Right now, you don’t wanna even look at it. :-)

OpenMV Introduces the GENX320 Camera Module for Event-Based Vision
OpenMV has introduced the Prophesee GenX320 camera module, bringing event-based vision sensing to its embedded platform. Unlike traditional image sensors that capture entire frames at fixed intervals, the GenX320 detects only changes in a scene, reducing data rates while improving efficiency in motion detection. The sensor operates asynchronously, with each pixel responding independently to illumination

I got promoted today to try using Passkeys on Github.com. Fine 😅 I did that, but I discovered that when you use your Passkey to login, Chrome prompts you for your device’s password (i.e: The password you use to login to your macOS Desktop). Is that intentional? Kind of defeats the point no? I mean sure, now there’s no Password being transmitted, stored or presented to Github.com but still, all an attacker has to do is somehow be on my device and know my login password to my device right? Is that better or worse? 🤔
