So far, I totally approve of Nifelvind. Currently listening to Under Bergets Rot. What an absolute banger! <3

But now, my bed is calling.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I usually don’t listen to metal where the singers scream. There are only very, very few bands where I find that actually pleasing.

Two decades ago or so, we young supervisors compiled ourselves a cassette for our forest recreation week. One of us had an old ruggedly built radio with a cassette deck powered by a bunch of large Baby (?) batteries. One side had “working music” which we played back while working in the evenings and night, e.g. gathering firewood in a handtruck for the campfire and things like that.

I used something by either Finntroll or Turmion Kätilöt for the “wakeup music” side in the morning. The kids slept at home, but there were always some supervisors sleeping at the camp. The SÜT, the Standard-Übernachtungsteam, consisted of mostly young folks, about sixteen to early twenties. It was completed by wiser people in their fourties. Each morning, metal blasted through the dining tent that we converted into a sleeping tent. :-) Good times!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! Turns out there’s a reason I didn’t know this album. :-D

I also just noticed that I have a lot to catch up on. :-O Haven’t listened to anything of the last three albums. Boy, time flies! Ur Jordens Djup from 2007 is the last thing in my collection. How on earth…!?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I actually didn’t know that and just listened to it. There are a few nice songs, but in general, it’s too boring to me. I’m missing the rock and metal elements for sure. Some of the calm songs might work to relax in a sauna or so. But I find the “wind noise” rather annoying.

Yesterday, my mate and I left the house at 10 in the morning around 15 or 16°C. There was a steady wind blowing, the sun came and went every two minutes. The clouds looked really nice. Temperatures peaked at 21°C I reckon. Certainly great t-shirt weather. It was supposed to slightly rain at some point in the morning, but all we got was less than two hand full of drops and later the tiniest amount of drizzle for not even half a minute. So, nothing.

The weathermen also called for a cloudy arvo and partially sunny evening. The forecast must have scared off people right away, because there was noone around. We saw very dark clouds in the distance and there was certainly rain in the town. But out in nature, just a constant alternation between the sun and clouds.

Just before noon, we arrived at the bakery two villages over and got four fire brezels (with pepper, extremely tasty, but the fingers are an oily mess after that) and two nut sticky buns for provisions. This is where the small bird (19-23) was giving us a show.

It’s so dry, the landscape looks already like autumn for several weeks. Sooo many orange and brown leaves on the ground, it’s crazy. I hope we still get a real autumn and head not straight from summer into winter. Last weekend was still an awful 37°C.

This time, we paid the small entrence fee to walk around inside the ruin of Hohenrechberg Castle. The red sandstone looks super sick. I really dig it. It’s actually purplish at parts, no kidding. Absolutely unreal! At least for me, I normally only see the beige sandstone around here.

Right when we went down the castle ditch, both camera batteries were completely drained after just 880 photos in total. What a bummer. I saw a guy with a leather glove coming out of a door and immediately followed him to the aviary in the hopes of a show or something. That flight cage wasn’t there last time I visited the ruin. And we were lucky, the falconer fed his harris’ hawk and explained us along the way. Other families came and went, but we talked to him for at least 20 minutes. Super interesting. I think that was easily the best part.

At exactly 19 o’clock I unlocked the front door. Our feet were done. It was an amazing nine hours hike. :-)

The gallery is a tiny bit larger than usual, enjoy: https://lyse.isobeef.org/wanderung-auf-die-burgruine-hohenrechberg-2026-08-22/

@arne@uplegger.eu Wohl bekomms!

@arne@uplegger.eu Auweia, was ein absoluter Saftladen. Unfassbar.

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Wurde dann doch noch ein wenig anstrengend gegen Ende hin. Für mal so zwischendurch geht’s. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fingers crossed!

At 8 o’clock, we had chilly 10°C. My mate and I dashed up our backyard mountain in just a tad under an hour. And that wasn’t the direct way. Our jumpers came off quick. It was really nice, because the sun was already warming and lighting up the landscape and everbody else still asleep. We had everything to our own.

Shortly after we were atop, the first two yoga women showed up with their mats. When we decended, a bunch more were on the way up. And then came the families with dogs and kids. Very glad to have missed all this hustle and bustle.

Now, I’m really tired. But it’s a great feeling of exhaustion. Two and a half hours later, we’re at 17°C. It’s supposed to hit an acceptable 23°C later on.

Unfortunately, no pics. I learned that charging via the docking station when the computer is turned off doesn’t do shit at all. Oh well.

@prologic@twtxt.net Now, you just gotta program it yourself. :-) Back in the days, my mates and I were playing Minetest, an open source variant thereof. Turns out it has been renamed: https://www.luanti.org/en/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I really thought you were playing the bass part, but this is just a picture of the CD cover. :‘-D I’ve got this in my collection as well. It’s good shit!

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ui, heiße Kostüme! Und klingt gar nicht schlecht. Je länger ich es anhör, desto besser gefällt es mir. Nur die „Ansagen“ und den „Gesang“ – oder was auch immer das Geschepper sein soll – bräucht es wirklich nicht.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice job, looking good! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de YOU SHALL NOT SCROLL!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, auch ne Idee! :-D Muss man nur aufpassen, dass das dann nicht das Ölkännchen für das Wahlbetrugsfeuer wird.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, even switching to Princess Garbage Disposal for real. :-O Sorry, mate, I really could not resit. ;-) Happy sp^Hummer cleaning!

@arne@uplegger.eu Dann müssten bloß noch die anderen auch so abstimmen. Viel Glück Euch, ihr werdet es brauchen.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The best thing, it’s not far from reality. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-05/0/POSTING-en.html Very interesting! I basically never analyze binary files, but this were some great thoughts on that subject. I hope to remember them when I find myself in the situation to look at binaries more closely.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Regarding https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-08-16/0/POSTING-en.html, how often do you edit the first commit? A good mate does the same for at least a whole decade, probably more. I never found myself in this situation. Even though I mess with commits on a daily basis. Just never the first one so far. 8-)

Nice! https://blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our-floss-commons-from-llms.html

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Turns out, it’s not a cool project. :-D

Can you build from source? Perhaps not if there is just a download link.

It’s been a hot minute since I last used alien to convert a Debian package into an RPM packge. Or was it the other way around? No clue.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ta!

@david@daiwei.me I noticed Boy Boy have a lot of gems. :-D

@arne@uplegger.eu Schade um diese ganzen Giganten. Das wird uns zukünftig öfters blühen.

@arne@uplegger.eu Achso, klasse Atlas, dieser Copernicus-Browser! Danke, kannte ich noch nicht.

@arne@uplegger.eu Also von da oben sieht das meiner Auffassung nach wirklich hübsch aus, da kann man echt nichts sagen. Mir gefällt’s prächtig. Gut, wenn man dieser Brühe dann auf Meereshöhe begegnet, ist das sicherlich ‘ne andere Sache.

@david@daiwei.me Haha, what a funny price, 1234 cents!

Yum, yum, yum. @david@daiwei.me, I’d absolutely love to taste your exploded kebab! It looks fantastic, my mouth is watering.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hell yeah, this is awesome! Great shots!

When I checked at the beginning, the sun was already way behind the trees. I then decided to wait until the end before leaving the house and melting in direct sunlight at 31°C. At the hill, there were around 15 people in camping chairs and on picnic rugs. Some dragged out their camera gear as well.

My first two photos were through the eclipse glasses. In contrast to others, I didn’t bring my tripod and just used a tree as a crappy makeshift one. With the large zoom it’s impossible to keep it still for one second (what my cam decided to be the exposure time). Leaning the camera against the side of the tree is just not good enough.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Hahaha, I never came across the term slopsmith before. :‘-D

@prologic@twtxt.net I could be very wrong – wouldn’t be the first time – weren’t push notifications part of the evil things to avoid? :-? Anyway, happy hacking!

@prologic@twtxt.net Happy Ekka Wednesday! I’d loved to have a day off, too, but was slaving away.

@david@daiwei.me It’s like Rummy but with more freedom which makes it a hell lot more interesting. You’re allowed to manipulate everything that’s on the table, trigger jokers, recombine the cards as long as there are at least three in a row after your move, not just simply add cards to existing rows (or whatever the correct terminology is). It’s good fun and mental exercise.

We played Rummikub and suddenly, it’s nearly two and a half hours later. :-)

@david@daiwei.me Yeah, the world is quick in inventing a better idiot. :-D

@david@daiwei.me Absolutely insane! For almost all the tools I always need two hands for sure. I can’t imagine using just a single one. And then his stuff turns out 100 times better than I could ever do.

There are advantages with just a single hand, though. I cut myself in the finger with scissors earlier. How stupid is that! :-D

Thank you, @david@daiwei.me!

This is really crazy. What a beautiful Katana and sheath. In comparison to the rest of the sword, the blade looks boring. Unbelievably gorgeous. Hats off to this single-handed craftsman, my goodness!

I finally managed to finish reading “How fast are Linux pipes anyway?”: https://mazzo.li/posts/fast-pipes.html That’s cool shit. Very interesting, highly recommended.

@david@daiwei.me It absolutely was a steam bath. sweat sweat

That was quick. Didn’t even last 10 minutes.

Yiha, quite some rain! Finally. And heaps of lightning in the distance. I love it. And it smells so wonderfully.

@david@daiwei.me Ta! I only noticed that at the computer but not when I took the photo. :-)

Blurry as fuck, but there ya go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-08-04/

What have you been up to, @kiwu@twtxt.net? Already melted in this brutal heat?

In light of recent events, check out your mentions. :-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com @prologic@twtxt.net Sounds about spot on.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Third time luck… oh wait. Maybe you’ll find the disks again in the colder season. Still sounds like a good time with your mate in the outdoors. :-)

Looks like the sign had also been hit with one or the other disk over time. :-D

Hahaha, laughing my ass off! :‘-D Interview with a Sysadmin in 2026 [Corporate] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7IHInNJZvE

Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. The storm clouds passed us by to the north, south, east and west. Next chance of rain on Wednesday.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Hahaha, I don’t recall when I first stumbled across it, but I’m sure it must have been the same experience you had.

Ignoring the consistent fuck-up of the decimal point (German reverses comma and dot, we use a comma as the decimal separator and the dot as the thousands separator), they managed to print the amount correctly in most e-mails. But the “shipping is underway” e-mail is broken. For ages.

@dce@hashnix.club @prologic@twtxt.net We’re getting cooked at humid 36°C right now. The thundergods can’t decide if we’ll be hit or not.

Richtig geniale Vorstellung von mittelalterlichen Instrumenten mit Hörproben: https://youtu.be/mrAq5WLU91I Klingt großartig. <3

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I understand. Take a break and bear up! Still looking forward to any of your stuff. :-) Thank you very much for all the great things I learned from you and wonderful conversations we had. In a while, crocodile. :-)

@david@daiwei.me Thanks, mate! I just finished my two full version marking gauges. And I’m rather pleased with them, I think they turned out great if I say so myself.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/streichmass-mit-messerrad/

The beech fences (80 and 100mm long) were part of a former table frame that I cut down. I plugged the dowel holes with, well, dowels. The horrific looking one was the stuck original one, though. Luckily, it’s a hell lot worse on camera than in person. If you take a close look, you’ll also be able to see the large but slight chamfers one one side each that I just left alone.

I really like beech wood. It looks beautiful, is rather heavy (at least in comparison to spruce which I typically use) and thus rock solid, is also a blast to plane and the list goes on. I sanded it with 180 grit and it’s smooth as a baby’s bottom.

The 25mm beech round stocks that house the brass knurled nuts are now roughly 4cm long. That’s one thing I wanted to change right after my first experience. If they were rounded or chamfered more, it would probably be even nicer for the fingers when using the marking gauge. They’re sunken in roughly 3mm in the fences. A forstner bit made quick work. This simplified alignment during glue-up a lot. Will definitely do that again if I happen to build more. I could fully concentrate on the grain orientation and it didn’t shift around.

Just like in the prototype, I used 8mm aluminium solid round bar again for one of the marking gauges. It’s also about 15cm in length. I figure that’s enough. The bought marking gauge has a twenty-something and some change steel rod. So far, all my markings didn’t even exceed probably 50mm.

I found the 8mm brass pipe laying around on the workshop. Didn’t know anymore I had it for ages. Unfortunately, the wall thickness is below a millimeter, so my 6mm wooden dowels are sliding in there. Thus, I put 8mm dowels in my drill chuck and reduced the diameter with a rasp. I went a tiny bit too far, the press fit is on the loose side. When drilling with a 2mm drill (I did that on purpose to hopefully cause the dowel to expand a bit more in the pipe, typically the tap hole for M3 is 2.5mm) and tapping M3, the downsized and glued in dowel slipped down the pipe. Should have used construction adhesive or something along those lines. Anyway, I might replace it with a solid one. I consider this a half-successful experiment. I fear that an unfavorable grain direction might pull out the cutting wheel during use. Let’s see.

The finish of all three is boiled linseed oil. It looks nice, but oh by, this smell. I really dislike it. My hands stink even after washing them several times. I still got several liters left, so I have the dubious joy to use it on many, many other projects to come.

Oh, one last thing. Didn’t manage to drill the tiny holes for my M3x16 bolts perfectly in center like for the prototype. They’re a tiny bit off. Also, on the longer fenced marking gauge, the hole for the knurled nut is a little to the side and at an angle. No idea how I messed this up. Luckily, it’s just a look thing but doesn’t impair use.

Of course, the tiny M3 bolts are in a completely different section a few aisles further down than the rest of the bolts and screws. Took me a while to find them. And I didn’t pay close enough attention, I got 19 stainless hex key but one galvanized phillips head bolt, somebody threw it back in the wrong bin. Oh well, at least they’re both seven cents the piece. I only really need two or three.

@david@daiwei.me We’re slowly getting there. Very slowly. 8-)

Finally, I added some tests and fixed this. After updating the feed metadata, I now just return early and do not attempt to build an SQL multi-value INSERT statement. Easy-peasy.

@david@daiwei.me I bet, you’re absolutely right. ;-) Let’s start the countdown: 10, …

@arne@uplegger.eu @david@daiwei.me Most do actually look really good, but of course I prefer the birds. :-)

Can’t have them all, because it’s even harder to spot counterfeit notes I reckon.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de “when this stuff still mattered” LOL, true :-D

Right, the good old pen test! Never gets old. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zur Hardware zurückzugehen merke ich hier (noch?) nicht. Aber sonst alles andere, ja und ja. Ganz genau.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When a mate was learning Czech a few years ago, he sometimes told us about some crazy words and sentences. But it could very well be that these were out of norm extremes. Not sure. You’re right, I also expected a little worse. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Hahaha, this is cool! :-D

Bwahahaha, these security folks have a great sense of humor! :-D Got a phishing test e-mail disguised as an overdue anti-phishing training e-mail:

Image

We receive these test phishing e-mails every now and then at work. When you follow the links and log in at the fake login, you probably get assigned another (real) training.

When I got this e-mail, I immediately thought of such a test. Since I actually do have some stupid training deadlines coming up soon, I wasn’t 100% sure, but still doubted that this was one of them. To make the timing even better, in the team meeting last week, our bosses reminded us to complete outstanding trainings before the deadlines. Ideally well in advance. Notifications about deadlines coming closer are sometimes not only sent to the individuals but also to the bosses and their bosses. And then things can get out of hands when somebody doesn’t read the e-mails properly and mistakes them for deadline exceeded reports.

Anyway, the URL also looked kinda legit. It really doesn’t help a single bit that domain names change all the fucking time. So, still with the test program in mind, I thought, I just give it a quick shot out of curiosity. Since I just had logged in before, the empty SSO username field was totally obvious then. Looking at the e-mail headers confirmed that this was indeed one of security’s field checks. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe it’s already too late ‘o clock, but I don’t find it overwhelmingly crazy. The Czechs, on the other hand, do they even know what vowels are? :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Da hilft nur, die alle mit vollem Karacho gegen die Wand fahren zu lassen. Aber Auslöffeln werden es trotzdem wieder ganze andere Leute müssen. Wie immer. Das ist das bittere an der Sache. Trifft immer die Falschen.

Kollege meinte mal halb sarkastisch, irgendwann werden Firmen dann wieder Menschen einstellen, weil die billiger sind.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Pff, wer will schon Ansätze von Qualität? GESCHWINDIGKEIT!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net @david@daiwei.me I agree about @xuu@txt.sour.is (still a few months left before hitting this timeout). :-D

But I don’t know the feeds anymore, because, well, I deleted them. :-D

@david@daiwei.me Yeah, it’s a bee keeper channel. Oh, with all the epoxy, this handle is really strong.

@lafe@tilde.club Try again, that’s only a quarter of the year! :-P

Fuck me dead, how cool does this knive handle made from honeycomb and epoxy look!? :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZDLkqVoK5w

Time to remove two feeds that have not seen a single update for over a year. I reckon they’re just dead.

@david@daiwei.me Go ahead and grab something, mate!

Lol, never heard of that banana moment before, but it sounds very fitting. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s cool! :-)

Got up at 5 to have a shower and air out the bathroom before the sun hits, went back to bed. Strolled with my mate for one and a half hours and now I’m absolutely done. At 8 the temps were pleasantly cool, but that didn’t last long.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear, Thunderbird became such garbage.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not sure, I very rarely see people wearing cowboy hats. They’re a great protection against the sun in my opinion. Even as a child, I always loved their looks, but I only wear them in summer for that particular reason. Unfortunately, they’re too cumbersome to carry around not on your head. And they don’t combine with bicycle helmets or head rests.

About one and a half decades ago, I made two hats myself. Sadly, they both turned out to be failures.

Haha, now that you mention the aliens, I cannot unsee them anymore. :-D

@david@daiwei.me You better stick to your doctor’s prescription of mowing three times a week.
