Autumn is there: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2024-10-11/
Finally, a sunny day. I jumped at the opportunity and went for a quick evening stroll: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-10-09/
Yesterdayâs April weather offered nearly everything. Sun, rain, clouds, wind. Luckily, the rain wasnât too bad, we precautionally brought our rain jackets and took cover under some trees for 5-10 minutes. From then on, it alternated mostly between sunny and cloudy. Perfect conditions for photography.
The 16°C felt pretty cold with all the wind. Especially at the summit for a late lunch. The clouds covered the sun for almost the entire time and the wind blew hard. Being sweaty from the way up didnât help. The sun returned as soon as we packed up.
On the way home, it drizzled just a little bit, although the clouds were really dark. A nice surprise. All in all, we had a really nice hike. As a bonus, my mate established a new train ride record low to get home, despite all the Octoberfest crap going on right now.
From my 395 photos, I only kept 40: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-09-28/ In 18âs upper left corner you can see a black beetle similar to what Iâve seen earlier this week. The one that rolled over its side to change directions, this one didnât, though.
The mushroom in 35 and 36 was enormous, easily 20Â centimeters in diameter. We came across a few of them along our journey.
Iâm experimenting with SQLite and trees. Itâs going good so far with only my own 439 messages long main feed from a few days ago in the cache. Fetching these 632 rows took 20ms:
Now comes the real tricky part, how do I exclude completely read threads?
@prologic@twtxt.net Correct. The plan is that operators have to manually trust a peer before it is used for fetching missing conversation roots from. Preview of the horrible UI:
It was beautiful in nature: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-09-21/
Yesterday, both temperature and wind picked up. There was even wind in the night, which is rare over here. Today, we also got a lot of sunshine, around 22°C and heaps of wind. The leaves and twigs were blown at the house door, it reminded me of a snow drift, basically a leave bank. I should have taken a photo before I swept it, it looked quite bizarre.
But I photographed something else instead:
My mate and I went out in the woods earlier and we came across 08 which broke off in roughly 6, 7Â meters from 09. When it hit the ground, it made a 30Â cm deep hole. Quite impressive. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-09-19/
Now WTF!? Suddenly, @falsifian@www.falsifian.orgâs feed renders broken in my tt Python implementation. Exactly what I had with my Go rewrite. I havenât touched the Python stuff in ages, though. Also, tt and tt2 do not share any data at all.
By any chance, did you remove the ; charset=utf-8
from your Content-Type: text/plain
header, falsifian?
@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Still a bit different, but this reminds me of the rusk boy on the Brandt boxes which is kinda iconic over here: https://cdn.idealo.com/folder/Product/2151/8/2151814/s1_produktbild_max/brandt-der-markenzwieback-225-g.jpg They should switch to this photo. :-)
Cool sunset when I went to the scouts: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-09-13/
20° temperature drop in just a hand full of days. Ooof. We went on a stroll at 10°C today. I could have used a beanie, my ears were very cold. The sun was out, but hardly any people. Very nice. Also, no wind.
It was nice to finally hear a few birds singing again, although it was still fairly silent. The sun gave us a nice show. In hindsight, we should have stayed at the summit a bit longer. In the forest, we missed the very best, crazy red sky. We could only see parts shimmering through the tree lines.
@prologic@twtxt.net https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/hashes.png Yep, broken hashes. I just fixed them after refollowing on the new URL (my client doesnât know metadata fields).
Iâm out of shape. I decided to walk up the local mountain to watch the sunset, but I arrived five minutes late, even though I sped up at the end. Should have started my journey ten or fifteen minutes earlier. I saw the setting sun at foot, but the photos were total disasters.
On the way there I picked two handful of blackberries in the forest. Delicious!
Today was the second time in my life that I saw a grass snake in the wild. They can easily be recognized by the yellow âearsâ. Unfortunately, this one was run over. :-( But I jumped at the opportunity to photograph it as it didnât escape in a fraction of a second like my first encounter three years ago. Still, poor fellow. :-(
On the way home, a deer jumped out of the brush in front of me and headed down the forest road before it went back in the other side. As always, thatâs nice.
I also had to slow down a bunch of times because of frogs or toads on the paths. Not sure which ones, it was already after dark. I guesstimate it must have been 60-70 amphibians in total, maybe more. Some of them did not move to the wayside but rather into the middle of the track, right in front of me. Crazy suicide frogs! There were four reeeeaaaallly close calls. I could just avoid stepping on them after they tried to hop right under my boot. Not a centimeter to spare. No toads were harmed during my trip. Phew!
Once I had to stop completely because of the large activity ahead of me. A larger (about the size of half a palm) individual surrounded my foot and then jumped against my heel. Twice! What the heck!? :-D But suuuper cool experience. Iâm very glad I actually went out. Totally worth it. I met so many amazing animals. Donât care about the missed sunset a single bit.
Temperatures begin to drop a bit for the night, phew. https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-08-30/01.jpg
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Thank you for using Lyseâs Unofficial Yarnd Help Desk: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/yarnd-disable-registrations.png
It cooled off to 20°C today, but mid week is supposed to be crazy hot again. It was a nice walk, also plenty of people around, though. So we decided against going up our backyard mountain to avoid the masses. We finally took a path that we havenât checked out for years. That was pretty cool. I couldnât remember anything on that.
More scenery: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-08-25/
Neither of us has ever seen such a marmelade bun mushroom:
Hmm, bissel kalt⊠https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/null-grad.png
Transformed four kilograms of blackberries into a bit over three kilograms of blackberry jelly. https://lyse.isobeef.org/brombeergelee-2024-08-19/ The leftover jelly did not fit in prepared canning jars, so I dumped it in a regular drinking glass (which was a mustard glass in its former life):
The rest is cooling off on the bench outside.
I saw a kestrel on a power pole the other day. It then flew off and attacked another one sitting in a tree:
More peaceful before that: https://lyse.isobeef.org/turmfalke-2024-08-07/
@prologic@twtxt.net Yep. Doesnât matter if JS in turned on or not. So it is somewhere hiding in the Go core. Some replacement going berserk, Iâd say.
It happens to each bracketed text individually: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/bracketed-text/triple.png
But then the question still is, why on earth does it happen to old twts, too? Iâm getting into my code excavator.
Righto, @prologic@twtxt.net, I just checkout out current main of yarnd (commit 5101ec240ddb0e5e39809bf8a7b847508b3ac298) and ran make dev
. After registering a user and logging in, I then entered a twt with double bracketed text (without the equal sign on the second one, though) and it was expanded into eight brackets. So, this is clearly a bug. Let me dig deeper.
I hope I zoomed in enough, so you can read the stuff on my screenshot: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/bracketed-text/bug.png
Paid the forest recreation week a quick visit and checked out their huts they built this week. My camera sucked hard, most photos turned out really crappy. Oh well. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-08-02/
Heck yeah! I saw my first slow worm this year. Very cool. :-) We also came across some art in the woods. Surprisingly, the blackberries in the forest were mellower than the ones on the south side bushes with sun exposure all day long.
Went for a walk onto my backyard mountain again and ate the first three wild blackberries of the season. Watching the sunset unfold from the summit was quite spectacular. The solar disk was glowing extremely blood red. The photos show it way too white, though.
This sunset was nicer in person: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-07-22/
@prologic@twtxt.net Just look at their website. Yesterday, there was this quote, itâs already gone by now:
Cybersecurityâs AI-native platform for the XDR era
Mo-mo-mo-monster bingo!
Someone archived this screnshot, that Iâve also seen yesterday: https://assets.chaos.social/cache/media_attachments/files/112/812/257/953/926/994/original/c9de6459751f2ebf.png âYour company can be ruined in just 62 minutesâ Luckily, ClownStrike can shorten this timeframe even more. :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hope all admins can at least tell management: Told you so! But of course, no manager gets fired for their bloody stupid decision.
@xuu We got several e-mails about this whole desaster at work.
Some colored spots in the sky this evening: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-07-14/
My mate and I went on a hike yesterday: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-07-13/
The 26°C humidity was through the roof and we just barely escaped the thunderstorm on our stroll. Only the adjacent rain hit us hard. Black clouds caught up on us and we decided to take cover at a barn. Not even a minute later it started to rain cats and dogs for ten minutes straight. Holy crap, that was cool to watch. :-) Also, the smell of rain was just beautiful.
We then decided to continue our return in the light drizzle. But it then got much heavier again and we got completely soaked. With the wet t-shirt and the wind it actually felt rather cold. I anticipated to get rained on, so I left my camera at home. Plenty of paths turned into brook landscapes, several centimeter deep creeks ran down the hilly trails. Quite fascinating. :-)
The sunset a few minutes ago wasnât too bad:
Itâs about time to move while we still can! We had another heavy hail storm. 10-15mm diameter on average, maxing out at about 25mm. Oh boy. And my funnel contraption into the bucket at the cables in the basement were dead on.
Two larger streams were pouring out of the now porous looking mortar around the cables. Cool fountain in the basement. You would have thought that the right one was the bad one, but no, that one only dripped. I caught it just in time, not even half a minute later and the bucket would have spilled over. I estimate 60-75l water in total were about to mess up the floor again. Crisis averted.
Gotta upgrade the bucket to a rain barrel until this is fixed.
Shortly after, I heared the fire brigade responding a couple of times.
@bender@twtxt.net Oh this sounds really cool! :-) I never caught them, only watched âem. But I have to admit that I wanted to catch them barehanded this week. Didnât try, though.
I just returned from another trip into the forest. This time, I went deeper, there was some beautiful firefly activity. When I checked on yesterdayâs spot on the way home there was barely anything. But I saw some presumably females sitting on the leaves in the shrubs. I didnât notice a single one yesterday. Their illuminated parts were really huge compared to the flying males. The biggest was the size of a small fingerâs nail (contrast that with a tiny shining dot of maybe 2-4mm max). I could even see the three distinct sections being lit up. That must have been a common glow-worm (groĂes JohanniswĂŒrmchen), Iâd say: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Lampyris_noctiluca.jpg The others might also just have been the smaller species. I donât know.
There were also some toads on the paths. A very lovely evening stroll. Iâm very happy now. The dayjobâs stress is completely forgotten.
I really do enjoy that I am in the woods in about 10-15 minutes afoot. The most dangerous animals here are ticks and then come the boars. And thatâs really it. Well, mozzies might be in the list, too. Some adventive ones can carry diseases, luckily, I havenât encountered them here yet. Today, a bunch of gnats wanted to eat me. Yesterday, I had my peace, though.
Yesterday, I paid Duck Memorial another visit: :-D
It was a really nice hike, there was hardly anybody outside. The weather wasnât bad at all, around 22°C and cloudy most of the time. The drizzle got me a few times, but it wasnât terrible. It just raised the humidity. A bit more wind would have been nice, it was very calm, even at the summits.
On the way there I had to kill a tick that I found on my trousers. Those bloody suckers! What benefit do they bring nature? At home I checked and couldnât find any others. Phew.
On the way back from Mt. Hohenrechberg I saw a deer and hare. Itâs been years that I came across hares in the wild, so that was really cool. I decided to watch the sunset from Mt. Hohenstaufen, so I took a small detour. Absolutely worth it:
A group of hippies eventually joined me at the sunset lookout, lit joss sticks, played some weird music on a metal pipe thingy (a bit like a single windbell) and sang a sun dance song. Said song had gone missing for a very long time and was recovered only lately, they told me. Okay. Some other really crazy dude told us that the mountain weâre on had been raised in the Young Stone Age. That period where harvests were plentiful and people had a lot of spare time. WTF!? I mean they all were super nice and friendly and talking to them was also actually lovely, but what⊠err⊠interesting mindsets.
On the final return I saw another three deer on a paddock. And now for the very, very best part of the whole trip: in the forest I encountered 83 fireflies before I stopped counting. In the end it must have been 500-600 in total. One even nearly hit me in the face if I hadnât ducked at the last second. :-) Man, this was soooo fricking amazing! Fireflies for round about 1.5km! Didnât even try to take photos in this darkness, though.
Not too shabby! We also got a rainbow, but I didnât capture it. https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-06-21/
Went on a great 20km hike to the WĂ€scherschloss (lit. Launderer Castle) with my mate. Unfortunately, the castle was closed (only opens on Sundays and public holidays), so we had to peek under the door with our cameras.
Sunny and a few clouds, very windy, my hat blew off a few times, perfect 20°C hiking weather. Could have been a few degrees less, though. We walked through some beautiful scenery, especially when it is lit up by the sun. Really gorgeous views and paths. I should go over there more often. Last time was almost exactly two years ago.
The one steep foot path in the forest had 60cm deep canyons from the flood two weeks ago. Absolutely crazy! The burried post cable caution tape even was revealed. That path didnât look like a path anymore at all.
At home I had to remove a tick. Those fucking bastards!
Very humid 20°C, cloudy and partially raining. That was todayâs weather when we went into the woods and paid or backyard mountain a visit: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-06-14/ Not very many folks around, looked like they all feared the liquid sunshine. The visibiliy was fairly mixed. Pretty clear in the west, we could see the Stuttgart TV tower 38.55km away (04). But very hazy to the north (03) when a rain cloud appeared.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, this makes sense. Also, @bender@twtxt.net reported the same over in https://twtxt.net/conv/ilupk5q. That whole conversation looks like that for me:
Bender edits in red, notices in fuchsia (probably edits and leaves the message unchanged), and prologic acknowledges in orange. This conversation over here is marked in lime. Yeah, tt doesnât filter out duplicates. Maybe I should implement that.
These 24°C were brutal. The cow in 03 was standing in the bog, not sure why she liked this brackish water. It sounded âtchlk, schlkâ when she moved around in that mud (what do you call that?). Some of these canyons, like 14, are over 30cm deep. Wow. In 15 at a height of two meters, a torn rag hangs in the tree in the creek bed. Itâs crazy to see how high the flood came in 16 with all the washed up stuff in the hedge.
https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-06-07/
Went down to the creek and thereâs a skip in front of every house. Oh dear. Normally, the creek is a few meters below the tree line in 01-03. But as you can see, it went over the fields, several tens of meters wide.
The fire engine house next to the creek was also flooded. But the operational capability of the fire brigade was not affected as they already responded.
Itâs crazy how the relatively shallow field road on top of the hill looks. It was already in bad shape, but thatâs now another level. The drainage area is rather small, but tons of gravel is now in the meadows. 10cm deep holes and ditches in the road. The very loose gravel is difficult to cycle and walk on.
The river upstream kissed the hundred-year flood level (462 cm) the other day. https://www.hvz.baden-wuerttemberg.de/pegel.html?id=00265 (To me that link looks broken, but maybe it works on other browsers. :-?)
Iâm on a hill, far away from the river, but with all that rain and soaked ground the water finally came into the basement where the cables enter the house over night. Luckily, just 15 mm high, so it didnât jump the doorsill into other rooms. And it was all clear, no muddy mess, all nicely filtered through the earth, gravel and sand. My shop vac is also designed to work as a wet vacuum cleaner, so that was really helpful.
It was a tiny bit moist on todayâs stroll. We saw exactly one other person in the forest. Itâs only raining once the entire weekend. And how!
All the black stuff on the shore of the pool are tad poles. Technically, there are hundreds of them on the flooded forest road. :-)
One of our scout leaders found a blackbird laying outside the car and is now raising her:
https://lyse.isobeef.org/amsel-2024-05-29/
I should have taken a video of that gorgeous bird.
And today also just a quick two hour roundtrip in order to make it to the Yarn meetup almost in time: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-05-25/
Quick stroll of just one and a half hours yesterday: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-05-24/
@iolfree@tilde.club I n d e e d !
Letâs just go with that view: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-den-wasserberg-und-das-fuchseck-2024-05-18/24.jpg
Two mates and I went on a 25km hike yesterday to the Wasserberg (lit. Water Mountain) and Fuchseck (lit. Fox Corner) on the edge of the Swabian Alb. They arrived by train and of course it was delayed by half an hour, âdue to limited availability of tracksâ. That was a first one, I never heard that reason before. Another train had a breakdown in a train station and later my matesâ train had to be rebooted, too. That restart alone took 10Â minutes. O_o Software problem, it canât be helped.
It rained the whole day before, so a lot of foot paths had turned into small creeks. Also, the mud levels were much higher than usual. We also took one or the other shortcut which were even messier. And also reeaalllly steep (see 07 and 08). It didnât help that my guiding abilities also sucked a bit and I took the wrong turn twice. Oh well, we just explored new paths Iâve never been on. Thatâs a win in my book. :-)
After a rest at the Wasserberghaus with a Spezi, we then decided to also visit the Fuchseck, since weâre just around the corner. It took a bit longer that I remembered and after enyoing the view and eating homemade waffles with apple sauce, we then made our way home.
About 100Â meters in front of the train station it began to rain. The thunderstorm caught up on us. We just made it in time, a couple of minutes later, the train was supposed to show up. I quickly walked home and was a bit soaked when I unlocked the front door.
It was great fun, it was a nice stroll for me, my mates were absolutely exhausted. Well, I admit, my feet hurt, too. :-)
Hereâs a nice view on the Three Emperor-Mountains in the distance. From left to right: Hohenstaufen, Rechberg and Stuifen, the left one is my backyard mountain:
