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. :-)

In-reply-to » @doesnm No it's all good... I've just rebuilt it from master and it doesn't look like anything is broken:

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt You don’t generally call go build main.go or whatever. You generally call go build . or go build ./cmd/foo/... – Because you need to tell the compiler to build a whole package or a bunch of sub-packages + main. go run main.go only works for the simplest case.

In-reply-to » @prologic I've just seen that one as well as MicroBin on selfh.st , it looks prettier on your instance than it did on their live demo 😆. But I've already started playing around with microBin and will see how things go from there.

I ended up deploying an OpenGist instead! unlike MicroBin, the whole things went smoother than posting a twt 😆

What I’m seeing is some kind of detection going on and the CDN servers responding with 0 bytes.

This got my thinking. If I remember correctly, @prologic@twtxt.net ran a pastie on mills.io not long ago. I believe it was one he even coded himself! Do you still run that, James?

I prefer the code here, than having to go to another place to see it. :-P Honestly, I do. What you have posted is shorter than most of @abucci@anthony.buc.ci’s twtxts. :-D

In-reply-to » I’m going to have a pizza and there’s nothing you can do about it. 🍕

@movq@www.uninformativ.de but what kind of pizza? :-D We get pizza once a month, specifically on Fridays (and, of course, we are not alone). Lately we have been buying Pizza Hut’s “tavern style”, everything in it, large pizzas (well, just one). Thinking of it makes me hungry! :-)

In-reply-to » @bender I built my own, a much smaller one with a multi stage build... shouldn't that do the trick? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net here:

FROM golang:alpine as builder
ARG version
ENV HTWTXT_VERSION=$version

WORKDIR $GOPATH/pkg/

RUN wget -O htwtxt.tar.gz https://github.com/plomlompom/htwtxt/archive/refs/tags/${HTWTXT_VERSION}.tar.gz
RUN tar xf htwtxt.tar.gz && cd htwtxt-${HTWTXT_VERSION} && go mod init htwtxt && go mod tidy && go install htwtxt

FROM alpine
ARG version
ENV HTWTXT_VERSION=$version

RUN mkdir -p /srv/htwtxt
COPY --from=builder /go/bin/htwtxt /usr/bin/
COPY --from=builder /go/pkg/htwtxt-${HTWTXT_VERSION}/templates/* /srv/htwtxt/templates/
WORKDIR /srv/htwtxt
VOLUME /srv/htwtxt

EXPOSE 8000

ENTRYPOINT ["htwtxt", "-dir", "/srv/htwtxt", "-templates", "/srv/htwtxt/templates"]

Don’t forget the --build-arg version="1.0.7" for example when building this one, although there isn’t much difference between the couple last versions.
P.S: I may have effed up changing htwtxt’s files directory to /srv/htwtxt when the command itself defaults to /root/htwtxt so you’ll have to throw in a -dir whenever you issue an htwtxt command (i.e: htwtxt -adduser somename:somepwd -dir /srv/htwtxt … etc)
